A History of Non-Euclidean Geometry: Evolution of the Concept of a Geometric Space
ISBN: 9780387964584 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 471 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The Russian edition of this book appeared in 1976 on the hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary of the historic day of February 23, 1826, when LobaeevskiI delivered his famous lecture on his discovery of non-Euclidean geometry. The importance of the discovery of non-Euclidean geometry goes far beyond the limits of geometry itself. It is safe to say that it was a turning point in the history of all mathematics. The scientific revolution of the seventeenth century marked the transition from "mathematics of constant magnitudes" to "mathematics of variable magnitudes. " During the seventies of the last...

Hypercomplex Numbers: An Elementary Introduction to Algebras
ISBN: 9781461281917 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 169 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book deals with various systems of "numbers" that can be constructed by adding "imaginary units" to the real numbers. The complex numbers are a classical example of such a system. One of the most important properties of the complex numbers is given by the identity (1) Izz'l = Izl-Iz'I- It says, roughly, that the absolute value of a product is equal to the product of the absolute values of the factors. If we put z = al + a2i, z' = b+ bi, 1 2 then we can rewrite (1) as The last identity states that "the product of a sum of two squares by a sum of two squares is a sum of two squares. " It...

Mathematics of the 19th Century: Mathematical Logic Algebra Number Theory Probability Theory
ISBN: 9783764364410 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This is the second revised edition of the first volume of the outstanding collection of historical studies of mathematics in the nineteenth century compiled in three volumes by A. N. Kolmogorov and A. P. Yushkevich. This second edition was carefully revised by Abe Shenitzer, York University, Ontario, Canada. The historical period covered in this book extends from the early nineteenth century up to the end of the 1930s, as neither 1801 nor 1900 are, in themselves, turning points in the history of mathematics, although each date is notable fo a remarkable event: the first for the publication of...

ISBN: 9783764364427 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This multi-authored effort, Mathematics of the nineteenth century (to be fol lowed by Mathematics of the twentieth century), is a sequel to the History of mathematics from antiquity to the early nineteenth century, published in three volumes from 1970 to 1972. 1 For reasons explained below, our discussion of twentieth-century mathematics ends with the 1930s. Our general objectives are identical with those stated in the preface to the three-volume edition, i. e., we consider the development of mathematics not simply as the process of perfecting concepts and techniques for studying real-world...

The Genesis of the Abstract Group Concept: A Contribution to the History of the Origin of Abstract Group Theory
ISBN: 9780486458687 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This informative survey chronicles the process of abstraction that ultimately led to the axiomatic formulation of the abstract notion of group. Hans Wussing, former Director of the Karl Sudhoff Institute for the History of Medicine and Science at Leipzig University, contradicts the conventional thinking that the roots of the abstract notion of group lie strictly in the theory of algebraic equations. Wussing declares their presence in the geometry and number theory of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
This survey ranges from the works of Lagrange via Cauchy, Abel, and... This informative survey chronicles the process of abstraction that ultimately led to the axiomatic formulation of the abstract notion of group. Hans W...

In Search of Infinity
ISBN: 9780817638191 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The concept of infinity is one of the most important, and at the same time, one of the most mysterious concepts of science. Already in antiquity many philosophers and mathematicians pondered over its contradictory nature. In mathematics, the contradictions connected with infinity intensified after the creation, at the end of the 19th century, of the theory of infinite sets and the subsequent discovery, soon after, of paradoxes in this theory. At the time, many scientists ignored the paradoxes and used set theory extensively in their work, while others subjected set-theoretic methods in...

Intuitive Combinatorial Topology
ISBN: 9781441928825 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Topology is a relatively young and very important branch of mathematics, which studies the properties of objects that are preserved through deformations, twistings, and stretchings. This book deals with the topology of curves and surfaces as well as with the fundamental concepts of homotopy and homology, and does this in a lively and well-motivated way. This book is well suited for readers who are interested in finding out what topology is all about.

Entropy and Information
ISBN: 9783034600774 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This treasure of popular science by the Russian biophysicist Mikhail V. Volkenstein is at last, more than twenty years after its appearance in Russian, available in English translation. As its title Entropy and Information suggests, the book deals with the thermodynamical concept of entropy and its interpretation in terms of information theory. The author shows how entropy is not to be considered a mere shadow of the central physical concept of energy, but more appropriately as a leading player in all of the major natural processes: physical, chemical, biological, evolutionary, and even...
