For many years statistics has been regarded as the essential mathematical preparationfor biologists. Recently, however, it has become necessary to broaden this background to includeadvanced techniques
This monograph is a collective work. The names appear- ing on the front cover are those of the people who worked on every chapter. But the contributions of others were also very important: C. Risito f
Courant and Friedrich's classical treatise was first published in 1948 and tThe basic research for it took place during World War II. However, many aspects make the book just as interesting as a text
Popular account ranges from counting to mathematical logic and covers the many mathematical concepts that relate to infinity: graphic representation of functions; pairings and other combinations; pri
Mathematicians, science historians, and general readers will find this book a lively history; women will find it a reminder of a proud tradition and a challenge to take their rightful place in academ
In the summer of 1941 Brown University undertook a Program of Advanced Instruction and Research in Mechanics. This in fact was the precursor to the present day Division of Applied Mathematics. Certain
It is not a large overstatement to claim that mathematics has traditionally arisen from attempts to understand quite concrete events in the physical world. The accelerated sophistication of the mathem
Engaging introduction to that curious feature of mathematics which provides framework for so many structures in biology, chemistry, and the arts. Discussion ranges from theories of biological growth
Based on a series of lectures delivered at Cornell University in the fall of 1949, and since revised, this is the standard non-technical coverage of Egyptian and Babylonian mathematics and astronomy,
While the scientist works essentially with what he observes, with the measurable properties of nature, the philosopher of science is concerned to formulate the conceptual foundations of the scientific
Problems that beset Archimedes, Newton, Euler, Cauchy, Gauss, Monge and other greats, ready to challenge today's would-be problem solvers. Among them: How is a sundial constructed? How can you calcul
This book gives a remarkably fine account of the influences mathematics has exerted on the development of philosophy, the physical sciences, religion, and the arts in Western life.
Sarah Wiener kocht, wie es ihrem Naturell entspricht: mit groser Leidenschaft und tausend Ideen, aber trotzdem bodenstandig. Der Geschmack ist ihr dabei das Wichtigste und, dass die Zutaten frisch und
This text remains one of the clearest, most authoritative and most accurate works in the field. The standard history treats hundreds of figures and schools instrumental in the development of mathemati
An internationally famous expositor discusses such topics as differential equations, matrices, groups, sets, transformations, mathematical logic and other important areas of modern mathematics. His cl
