Elements of Mathematics: From Euclid to Gödel
ISBN: 9780691171685 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Elements of Mathematics takes readers on a fascinating tour that begins in elementary mathematics--but, as John Stillwell shows, this subject is not as elementary or straightforward as one might think. Not all topics that are part of today's elementary mathematics were always considered as such, and great mathematical advances and discoveries had to occur in order for certain subjects to become "elementary." Stillwell examines elementary mathematics from a distinctive twenty-first-century viewpoint and describes not only the beauty and scope of the discipline, but also its...

Numbers and Geometry
ISBN: 9780387982892 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 343 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. A beautiful and relatively elementary account of a part of mathematics where three main fields - algebra, analysis and geometry - meet. The book provides a broad view of these subjects at the level of calculus, without being a calculus book. Its roots are in arithmetic and geometry, the two opposite poles of mathematics, and the source of historic conceptual conflict. The resolution of this conflict, and its role in the development of mathematics, is one of the main stories in the book. Stillwell has chosen an array of exciting and worthwhile topics and elegantly combines mathematical history...

The Four Pillars of Geometry
ISBN: 9780387255309 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 227 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Many people think there is only one right way to teach geometry. For two millennia, the right way was Euclid s way, and it is still good in many respects. But in the 1950s the cry Down with triangles was heard in France and new geometry books appeared, packed with linear algebra but with no diagrams. Was this the new right way, or was the right way something else again, perhaps transformation groups? In this book, I wish to show that geometry can be developed in four fundamentally different ways, and that all should be used if the subject is to be shown in all its splendor. Euclid-style...

Naive Lie Theory
ISBN: 9781441926814 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 217 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. In this new textbook, acclaimed author John Stillwell presents a lucid introduction to Lie theory suitable for junior and senior level undergraduates. In order to achieve this, he focuses on the so-called classical groups that capture the symmetries of real, complex, and quaternion spaces. These symmetry groups may be represented by matrices, which allows them to be studied by elementary methods from calculus and linear algebra. This naive approach to Lie theory is originally due to von Neumann, and it is now possible to streamline it by using standard results of undergraduate mathematics. To...

Classical Topology and Combinatorial Group Theory
ISBN: 9780387979700 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. In recent years, many students have been introduced to topology in high school mathematics. Having met the Mobius band, the seven bridges of Konigsberg, Euler's polyhedron formula, and knots, the student is led to expect that these picturesque ideas will come to full flower in university topology courses. What a disappointment "undergraduate topology" proves to be In most institutions it is either a service course for analysts, on abstract spaces, or else an introduction to homological algebra in which the only geometric activity is the completion of commutative diagrams. Pictures are kept...

The fact that the topics are introduced in their historical contexts will enable students to better appreciate and understand the mathematical ideas involved...If one constructs a list of topics central to a history course, then they would closely resemble those chosen here."
