Opis

Der mathematische Werkzeugkasten wendet sich an alle, die eine Standard- Mathematikausbildung in der Schule hinter sich haben und ihr mathematisches Verstandnis vertiefen wollen. Durch eine Vielzahl von Anwendungsbeispielen aus den verschiedensten Disziplinen wie Biologie, Physik, Chemie, Astronomie, Geografie, ja sogar der Musik, werden algebraische Gleichungen, Proportionen, Trigonometrie, Vektorrechnung und Infinitesimalrechnung anschaulich vermittelt.Insofern ist das Buch eine gute Hilfe fur angehende Studenten verschiedenster Studienrichtungen, die fundierteres Mathematikwissen voraussetzen. Wegen der facherubergreifenden Anwendungen eignet sich das Werk aber auch als Fundgrube fur engagierte Mathematiklehrer, welche motivierende Beispiele fur die diversen Teilgebiete der Mathematik suchen.Das Buch ist so aufgebaut, dass man an verschiedenen Stellen "einsteigen" kann. Querverweise bringen zugeordnete Abschnitte und Beispiele schnell in Zusammenhang. Die 3., durchgangig vierfarbige Auflage ist um ein Kapitel zur Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung und Statistik erweitert. Stimmen zur 1. Auflage: "Mathe ist nicht weltfremd " Prof. Dr. Joachim Puhl, Fachhochschule Jena"Spektakular," "Eine echte Fundgrube, in der es Spa macht zu graben." amazon-Kundenrezensionen

Recenzje
