Enlightening Symbols: A Short History of Mathematical Notation and Its Hidden Powers
ISBN: 9780691154633 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. While all of us regularly use basic math symbols such as those for plus, minus, and equals, few of us know that many of these symbols weren't available before the sixteenth century. What did mathematicians rely on for their work before then? And how did mathematical notations evolve into what we know today? In Enlightening Symbols, popular math writer Joseph Mazur explains the fascinating history behind the development of our mathematical notation system. He shows how symbols were used initially, how one symbol replaced another over time, and how written math was conveyed before and...

Fluke: The Math and Myth of Coincidence
ISBN: 9780465060955 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. A mathematical guide to understanding why life can seem to be one big coincidence-and why the odds of just about everything are better than we would think.
What are the chances? This is the question we ask ourselves when we encounter the strangest and most seemingly impossible coincidences, like the woman who won the lottery four times or the fact that Lincoln's dreams foreshadowed his own assassination. But, when we look at coincidences mathematically, the odds are a lot better than any of us would have thought. In Fluke, mathematician Joseph Mazur takes a second look at...

Zeno's Paradox: Unraveling the Ancient Mystery Behind the Science of Space and Time
ISBN: 9780452289178 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The fascinating story of an ancient riddle?and what it reveals about the nature of time and space
Three millennia ago, the Greek philosopher Zeno constructed a series of logical paradoxes to prove that motion is impossible. Today, these paradoxes remain on the cutting edge of our investigations into the fabric of space and time. Zeno's Paradox uses the motion paradox as a jumping-off point for an exploration of the twenty-five-hundred-year quest to uncover the true nature of the universe. From Galileo to Einstein to Stephen Hawking, some of the greatest minds in history... The fascinating story of an ancient riddle?and what it reveals about the nature of time and space
