The Collected Mathematical Papers of Arthur Cayley, Volume 7
by Arthur Cayley
Die elementaren Operationen in der Arithmetik bestehen darin, daB man zwei ZaWen a und b in Ubereinstimmung mit einigen wohldefinierten Regeln verkniipft und so eine neue eindeutig bestimmte zaW c erMlt. Nehmen wir zum Beispiel als Verkniipfungsregel die Multiplikation, so schreiben wir c = ab. Wenn a und b gegeben sind, dann kann die zaW c in jedem Fall gefunden werden. Es ist bekannt, daB die Multiplikation von zwei oder mehreren Zahlen gewissen for- malen Regeln gehorcht, welche fur aile Prod...

Nonlinear Approximation Theory (Springer Series in Computational Mathematics, #7) (Series of Comprehensive Studies in Mathematics, #7)
by Dietrich Braess
The first investigations of nonlinear approximation problems were made by P.L. Chebyshev in the last century, and the entire theory of uniform approxima tion is strongly connected with his name. By making use of his ideas, the theories of best uniform approximation by rational functions and by polynomials were developed over the years in an almost unified framework. The difference between linear and rational approximation and its implications first became apparent in the 1960's. At roughly the s...
Multilevelmethoden als Iterationsverfahren Uber Erzeugendensystemen (Teubner Skripten zur Numerik)
by Michael A. Griebel
Die bei der numerischen Simulation verschiedener physikalischer und techni- scher Vorgange auftretenden Differentialgleichungen fUhren nach Linearisierung und Diskretisierung zu sehr groBen linearen Gleichungssystemen, deren Be- handlung mittels traditioneller direkter oder iterativer Losungsverfahren selbst auf modernsten Computern entweder gar nicht, oder nur mit unertraglich groBem Rechenaufwand und langer Rechenzeit moglich sind. 1m letzten Jahrzehnt sind nun effiziente Verfahren entwickelt...
Most people don't think about numbers, or take them for granted. For the average person numbers are looked upon as cold, clinical, inanimate objects. Math ideas are viewed as something to get a job done or a problem solved. Get ready for a big surprise with Numbers and Other Math Ideas Come Alive. Pappas explores mathematical ideas by looking behind the scenes of what numbers, points, lines, and other concepts are saying and thinking. In each story, properties and characteristics of math ideas a...
Twenty-Seven Lines Upon the Cubic Surface (Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics)
by Archibald Henderson
Originally published in 1911 as number thirteen in the Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics and Mathematical Physics series, this book presents a general survey of the problem of the 27 lines upon the cubic surface. Illustrative figures and a bibliography are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in cubic surfaces and the history of mathematics.
The Visual Mind II (Leonardo) (Leonardo Book)
Essays on mathematics and art as visual expression.Mathematical forms rendered visually can give aesthetic pleasure; certain works of art-Max Bill's Moebius band sculpture, for example-can seem to be mathematics made visible. This collection of essays by artists and mathematicians continues the discussion of the connections between art and mathematics begun in the widely read first volume of The Visual Mind in 1993.Mathematicians throughout history have created shapes, forms, and relationships,...
The Collected Mathematical Papers of Arthur Cayley. Supplementary Volume, Containing Titles of Papers and Index
Maths is everywhere, often where we least expect it. Award-winning professor Steven Strogatz acts as our guide as he takes us on a tour of numbers that - unbeknownst to the most of us - form a fascinating and integral part of our everyday lives. In The Joy of X, Strogatz explains the great ideas of maths - from negative numbers to calculus, fat tails to infinity - and shows how they connect to everything from popular culture and philosophy to current affairs and business practice. He is the math...
Fascinating Mathematical People is a collection of informal interviews and memoirs of sixteen prominent members of the mathematical community of the twentieth century, many still active. The candid portraits collected here demonstrate that while these men and women vary widely in terms of their backgrounds, life stories, and worldviews, they all share a deep and abiding sense of wonder about mathematics. Featured here--in their own words--are major research mathematicians whose cutting-edge disc...
We've all heard of the Big Bang, and yet few of us truly know what it is.Renowned for making difficult ideas much less difficult than they might first appear, Simon Singh is our perfect guide to explaining why cosmologists believe that the Big Bang is an accurate description of the origin and evolution of the universe.This highly readable and entertaining book tells the story of the many brilliant, often eccentric scientists who fought against the establishment idea of an eternal and unchanging...
