SEDUCED BY MATHEMATICS

類似書籍推薦給您

Seduction is not just an end result, but a process — and in mathematics, both the end results and the process by which those end results are achieved are often charming and elegant. This helps to explain why so many people — not just those for whom math plays a key role in their day-to-day lives — have found mathematics so seductive. Math is unique among all subjects in that it contains end results of amazing insight and power, and lines of reasoning that are clever, charming, and elegant. This book is a collection of those results and lines of reasoning that make us say, "OMG, that's just amazing," — because that's what mathematics is to those who love it. In addition, some of the stories about mathematical discoveries and the people who discovered them are every bit as fascinating as the discoveries themselves. This book contains material capable of being appreciated by students in elementary school — as well as some material that will probably be new to even the more mathematically sophisticated. Most of the book can be easily understood by those whose only math courses are algebra and geometry, and who may have missed the magic, enchantment, and wonder that is the special province of mathematics.

Principles of Mathematical Analysis 3/e 2023 Edition 作者：Walter Rudin ISBN：9786269708116 版次：3 年份：2023 出版商：McGraw-Hill 頁數/規格：342頁/平裝單色 Description This book is intended to serve as a text for the course in analysis that is usually taken by advanced undergraduates or by first-year students who study mathematics. NEW to This Edition The material on functions of several variables in Chapter 9 is significantly rewritten, with many details filled in, and with more examples and more motivation. The proof of the inverse function theorem is simplified by means of the fixed point theorem about contraction mappings. Differential forms are discussed in much greater detail. Several applications of Stokes' theorem are included. The Riemann-Stieltjes integral in Chapter 6 has been trimmed a bit. A short do-it-yourself section on the gamma function has been added to Chapter 8. There is a large number of new exercises throughout the book, most of them with fairly detailed hints. Several references to articles appearing in the American Mathematical Monthly and in Mathematics Magazine are included for students to develop the habit of looking into the journal literature. 目錄 Table of Contents Chapter 1: The Real and Complex Number Systems  Chapter 2: Basic Topology  Chapter 3: Numerical Sequences and Series  Chapter 4: Continuity  Chapter 5: Differentiation  Chapter 6: The Riemann-Stieltjes Integral  Chapter 7: Sequences and Series of Functions  Chapter 8: Some Special Functions  Chapter 9: Functions of Several Variables  Chapter 10: Integration of Differential Forms  Chapter 11: The Lebesgue Theory

Science By Simulation - Volume 1: A Mezze Of Mathematical Models

類似書籍推薦給您

Description A Mezze of Mathematical Methods is Volume 1 of Science by Simulation. It is a recipe book of mathematical models that can be enlivened by the transmutation of equations into computer code. In this volume, the examples chosen are an eclectic mix of systems and stories rooted in common experience, rather than those normally associated with constrained courses on Physics, Chemistry or Biology which are taught in isolation and susceptible to going out of date in a few years. Rather than a 'what' of Science, this book is aimed at the 'how', readily applied to projects by students and professionals. Written in a friendly style based upon the author's expertise in teaching and pedagogy, this mathematically rigorous book is designed for readers to follow arguments step-by-step with stand-alone chapters which can be read independently. This approach will provide a tangible and readily accessible context for the development of a wide range of interconnected mathematical ideas and computing methods that underpin the practice of Science.
