Jazyk matematiky
ISBN: 9788073633646 / Czeski / 2011 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Ve velké knize přírody může číst jen ten, kdo zná jazyk, v němž je napsána, řekl kdysi Galileo, a tímto jazykem je matematika. V této často a neprávem obávané vědní disciplíně nejde jen o pouhé studium čísel: matematika nám umožňuje pronikat ke skrytým kořenům světa kolem nás. Devlinova kniha podává přehledný obraz současné matematiky a historického vývoje jejích nejzajímavějších oblastí, zároveň vyzdvihuje její základní rysy, jimiž je jednoduchost, čistota, přesnost a elegance, zdařile však předkládá i její mnohdy opomíjenou...

The Unfinished Game: Pascal, Fermat, and the Seventeenth-Century Letter That Made the World Modern
ISBN: 9780465018963 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the early seventeenth century, the outcome of something as simple as a dice roll was consigned to the realm of unknowable chance. Mathematicians largely agreed that it was impossible to predict the probability of an occurrence. Then, in 1654, Blaise Pascal wrote to Pierre de Fermat explaining that he had discovered how to calculate risk. The two collaborated to develop what is now known as probability theory--a concept that allows us to think rationally about decisions and events.

Logic and Information
ISBN: 9780521410304 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this provocative and ground-breaking book, Keith Devlin argues that in order to obtain a deeper understanding of the nature of intelligence and knowledge acquisition, we must broaden our concept of logic. Classical logic, beginning with the work of Aristotle, has developed into a powerful and rigorous mathematical theory with many applications in mathematics and computer science, but it has proved woefully inadequate in the search for artificial intelligence. The new kind of logic, also mathematically based, outlined by Professor Devlin is the culmination of collaborative research among...

Language of Mathematics
ISBN: 9780805072549 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "The great book of nature," said Galileo, "can be read only by those who know the language in which it was written. And this language is mathematics." In The Language of Mathematics, award-winning author Keith Devlin reveals the vital role mathematics plays in our eternal quest to understand who we are and the world we live in. More than just the study of numbers, mathematics provides us with the eyes to recognize and describe the hidden patterns of life--patterns that exist in the physical, biological, and social worlds without, and the realm of ideas and thoughts...

The Joy of Sets: Fundamentals of Contemporary Set Theory
ISBN: 9780387940946 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book provides an account of those parts of contemporary set theory of direct relevance to other areas of pure mathematics. The intended reader is either an advanced-level mathematics undergraduate, a beginning graduate student in mathematics, or an accomplished mathematician who desires or needs some familiarity with modern set theory. The book is written in a fairly easy-going style, with minimal formalism. In Chapter 1, the basic principles of set theory are developed in a 'naive' manner. Here the notions of 'set', 'union', 'intersection', 'power set', 'rela- tion', 'function', etc.,...

A compelling firsthand account of Keith Devlin's ten-year quest to tell Fibonacci's story In 2000, Keith Devlin set out to research the life and legacy of the medieval mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, popularly known as Fibonacci, whose book Liber abbaci has quite literally affected the lives of everyone alive today. Although he is most famous for the Fibonacci numbers--which, it so happens, he didn't invent--Fibonacci's greatest contribution was as an expositor of mathematical ideas at a level ordinary people could understand. In 1202, Liber abbaci--the "Book of... A compelling firsthand account of Keith Devlin's ten-year quest to tell Fibonacci's story In 2000, Keith Devlin set out to research th... |

Introduction to Mathematical Thinking
ISBN: 9780615653631 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the twenty-first century, everyone can benefit from being able to think mathematically. This is not the same as "doing math." The latter usually involves the application of formulas, procedures, and symbolic manipulations; mathematical thinking is a powerful way of thinking about things in the world -- logically, analytically, quantitatively, and with precision. It is not a natural way of thinking, but it can be learned. Mathematicians, scientists, and engineers need to "do math," and it takes many years of college-level education to learn all that is required. Mathematical thinking...

The Math Gene: How Mathematical Thinking Evolved and Why Numbers Are Like Gossip
ISBN: 9780465016198 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Why is math so hard? And why, despite this difficulty, are some people so good at it? If there's some inborn capacity for mathematical thinking--which there must be, otherwise no one could do it --why can't we all do it well? Keith Devlin has answers to all these difficult questions, and in giving them shows us how mathematical ability evolved, why it's a part of language ability, and how we can make better use of this innate talent.He also offers a breathtakingly new theory of language development--that language evolved in two stages, and its main purpose was not communication--to show that...

Sets, Functions and Logic: Basic Concepts of University Mathematics
ISBN: 9780412226601 / Angielski / Miękka / 1981 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The purpose of this book is to provide the student beginning undergraduate mathematics with a solid foundation in the basic logical concepts necessary for most of the subjects encountered in a university mathematics course. The main distinction between most school mathematics and university mathematics lies in the degree of rigour demanded at university level. In general, the new student has no experience of wholly rigorous definitions and proofs, with the result that, although competent to handle quite difficult problems in, say, the differential calculus, he/she is totally lost when...

You've read his columns in MAA Online, you've heard him on the radio, and you've seen his popular mathematics books. In between all those activities and his own research, he's been hard at work revising Sets, Functions and Logic, his standard-setting text that has smoothed the road to pure mathematics for legions of undergraduate students. Now in its third edition, Devlin has fully reworked the book to reflect a new generation. The narrative is more lively and less textbook-like. Remarks and asides link the topics presented to the real world of students'...

The Millennium Problems: The Seven Greatest Unsolved Mathematical Puzzles of Our Time
ISBN: 9780465017300 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In 2000, the Clay Foundation announced a historic competition: whoever could solve any of seven extraordinarily difficult mathematical problems, and have the solution acknowledged as correct by the experts, would receive 1 million in prize money. There was some precedent for doing this: In 1900 the mathematician David Hilbert proposed twenty-three problems that set much of the agenda for mathematics in the twentieth century. The Millennium Problems--chosen by a committee of the leading mathematicians in the world--are likely to acquire similar stature, and their solution (or lack of it) is...

The Math Instinct: Why You're a Mathematical Genius (Along with Lobsters, Birds, Cats, and Dogs)
ISBN: 9781560258391 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. There are two kinds of math: the hard kind and the easy kind. The easy kind, practiced by ants, shrimp, Welsh Corgis and us is innate. But what innate calculating skills do we humans have? Leaving aside built-in mathematics, such as the visual system, ordinary people do just fine when faced with mathematical tasks in the course of the day. Yet when they are confronted with the same tasks presented as "math," their accuracy often drops. If we have innate mathematical ability, why do we have to teach math and why do most of us find it so hard to learn? Are there tricks or strategies that the...
