In this third edition of Mathematica® in Action, award-winning author Stan Wagon guides beginner and veteran users alike through Mathematica's powerful tools for mathematical exploration. The tra
The Banach-Tarski paradox asserts that a solid ball may be taken apart into finitely many pieces that can be rearranged using rigid motions to form a ball twice as large as the original. This volume e
Victor Klee and Stan Wagon discuss 24 unsolved problems in number theory and geometry, many of which can be understood by readers with a very modest mathematical background. Each problem section gives
This title presents new ideas on the visualization of differential equations with user-configurable tools. The authors use the widely-used computer algebra system, Mathematica, to provide an integrate
This book contains the best problems selected from over 25 years of the Problem of the Week at Macalester College. The collection contains a variety of other unusual and interesting problems in geomet
The SIAM 100-Digit Challenge: A Study in High-Accuracy Numerical Computing gives concrete examples of how to justify the validity of every single digit of a numerical answer. Methods range from carefu
