Indiscrete Thoughts
ISBN: 9780817647803 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Indiscrete Thoughts gives a glimpse into a world that has seldom been described that of science and technology as seen through the eyes of a mathematician. The era covered by this book, 1950 to 1990, was surely one of the golden ages of science as well as the American university. Cherished myths are debunked along the way as Gian-Carlo Rota takes pleasure in portraying, warts and all, some of the great scientific personalities of the period Stanislav Ulam (who, together with Edward Teller, signed the patent application for the hydrogen bomb), Solomon Lefschetz (Chairman in...

Introduction to Geometric Probability
ISBN: 9780521593625 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Here is the first modern introduction to geometric probability, also known as integral geometry, presented at an elementary level, requiring little more than first-year graduate mathematics. Klein and Rota present the theory of intrinsic volumes due to Hadwiger, McMullen, Santalo and others, along with a complete and elementary proof of Hadwiger's characterization theorem of invariant measures in Euclidean n-space. They develop the theory of the Euler characteristic from an integral-geometric point of view. The authors then prove the fundamental theorem of integral geometry, namely, the...

Discrete Thoughts: Essays on Mathematics, Science and Philosophy
ISBN: 9780817636364 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. as anywhere today, it is becoming more d- ficult to tell the truth. To be sure, our store of accurate facts is more plentiful now than it has ever been, and the minutest details of history are being thoroughly recorded. Scientists, - men and scholars vie with each other in publishing excruciatingly definitive accounts of all that happens on the natural, political and historical scenes. Unfortunately, telling the truth is not quite the same thing as reciting a rosary of facts. Jos6 Ortega y Gasset, in an adm- able lesson summarized by Antonio Machado's three-line poem, prophetically warned us...

Selected Papers of Norman Levinson
ISBN: 9780817638627 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 1085 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The deep and original ideas of Norman Levinson have had a lasting impact on fields as diverse as differential & integral equations, harmonic, complex & stochas- tic analysis, and analytic number theory during more than half a century. Yet, the extent of his contributions has not always been fully recognized in the mathematics community. For example, the horseshoe mapping constructed by Stephen Smale in 1960 played a central role in the development of the modern theory of dynami- cal systems and chaos. The horseshoe map was directly stimulated by Levinson's research on forced periodic...

The Logic of Quantum Mechanics: Volume 15
ISBN: 9780521168496 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Originally published in 1981, this book forms volume 15 of the Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications. The text provides a clear and thorough treatment of its subject, adhering to a clean exposition of the mathematical content of serious formulations of rational physical alternatives of quantum theory as elaborated in the influential works of the period, to which the authors made a significant contribution. The treatment falls into three distinct, logical parts: in the first part, the modern version of accumulated wisdom is presented, avoiding as far as possible the traditional...
