Collected Works: Volume III: Unpublished Essays and Lectures
ISBN: 9780195072556 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Kurt Godel (1906-1978) was the most outstanding logician of the twentieth century, famous for his hallmark works on the completeness of logic, the incompleteness of number theory and stronger systems, and the consistency of the axiom of choice and the continuum hypothesis. He is also noted for his work on constructivity, the decision problem, the foundations of computation theory, unusual cosmological models, and for the strong individuality of his writings on the philosophy of mathematics. The Collected Works is a landmark resource that draws together a lifetime of creative...

Mathematics and Mind
ISBN: 9780195079296 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Those inquiring into the nature of mind have long been interested in the foundations of mathematics, and conversely this branch of knowledge is distinctive in that our access to it is purely through thought. A better understanding of mathematical thought should clarify the conceptual foundations of mathematics, and a deeper grasp of the latter should in turn illuminate the powers of mind through which mathematics is made available to us. The link between conceptions of mind and of mathematics has been a central theme running through the great competing philosophies of mathematics of the...

Recursion Theory for Metamathematics
ISBN: 9780195082326 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This work is a sequel to the author's Godel's Incompleteness Theorems, though it can be read independently by anyone familiar with Godel's incompleteness theorem for Peano arithmetic. The book deals mainly with those aspects of recursion theory that have applications to the metamathematics of incompleteness, undecidability, and related topics. It is both an introduction to the theory and a presentation of new results in the field.

Philosophy of Mathematics and Mathematical Practice in the Seventeenth Century
ISBN: 9780195084634 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The seventeenth century saw dramatic advances in mathematical theory and practice. With the recovery of many of the classical Greek mathematical texts, new techniques were introduced, and within 100 years, the rules of analytic geometry, geometry of indivisibles, arithmetic of infinites, and calculus were developed. Although many technical studies have been devoted to these innovations, Mancosu provides the first comprehensive account of the relationship between mathematical advances of the seventeenth century and the philosophy of mathematics of the period. Starting with the Renaissance...

Geometric Methods for Discrete Dynamical Systems
ISBN: 9780195085457 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book looks at dynamics as an iteration process where the output of a function is fed back as an input to determine the evolution of an initial state over time. The theory examines errors which arise from round-off in numerical simulations, from the inexactness of mathematical models used to describe physical processes, and from the effects of external controls. The author provides an introduction accessible to beginning graduate students and emphasizing geometric aspects of the theory. Conley's ideas about rough orbits and chain-recurrence play a central role in the treatment. The book...

What Is Mathematics?: An Elementary Approach to Ideas and Methods
ISBN: 9780195105193 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For more than two thousand years a familiarity with mathematics has been regarded as an indispensable part of the intellectual equipment of every cultured person. Today, unfortunately, the traditional place of mathematics in education is in grave danger. The teaching and learning of mathematics has degenerated into the realm of rote memorization, the outcome of which leads to satisfactory formal ability but does not lead to real understanding or to greater intellectual independence. This new edition of Richard Courant's and Herbert Robbins's classic work seeks to address this problem. Its...

The Nothing That Is: A Natural History of Zero
ISBN: 9780195128420 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A symbol for what is not there, an emptiness that increases any number it's added to, an inexhaustible and indispensable paradox. As we enter the year 2000, zero is once again making its presence felt. Nothing itself, it makes possible a myriad of calculations. Indeed, without zero mathematics as we know it would not exist. And without mathematics our understanding of the universe would be vastly impoverished. But where did this nothing, this hollow circle, come from? Who created it? And what, exactly, does it mean?

Mathematics and the Roots of Postmodern Thought
ISBN: 9780195139679 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is a charming and insightful contribution to an understanding of the "Science Wars" between postmodernist humanism and science, driving toward a resolution of the mutual misunderstanding that has driven the controversy. It traces the root of postmodern theory to a debate on the foundations of mathematics early in the 20th century, then compares developments in mathematics to what took place in the arts and humanities, discussing issues as diverse as literary theory, arts, and artificial intelligence. This is a straightforward, easily understood presentation of what can be difficult...
