Have you ever wondered about our strong preference for the number twelve in our lives? Why are we measuring time in twelve hours and many other things in units of twelve? How about the many occurrences of geometric manifestations of twelve in nature? Is our geometry describing nature, or is nature imitating our geometry? If you have an enquiring mind and seek a better understanding of the peculiar roles of certain numbers in our universe, if you are intrigued by the philosophical historical- scientific perspective of the very interesting number twelve, this book is for you.

In "Cycles of Time, " author Louis Komzsik offers a comprehensive study of time, its relation to astronomy, and its relative nature. He reviews interesting tidbits of the historical evolution of our understanding of time and discusses some philosophical ideas about the topic. He explores the history of time, its origins in the celestial cycles observed by ancient cultures, and the expansion of our time horizon into cosmic cycles. He examines and debunks the doomsday predictions about the year 2012, and discusses the large scale measuring of time, gradually refined by humankind with medium...

In this enjoyable and lightheaded volume, he gathers a plethora of cultural, biological, geometrical, algebraic, and planetary phenomena of our lives related to the number five. He investigates these occurrences in various facets of life on earth and seeks plausible explanations for some of them and hypothesizes about some others while widening your horizon.

This second edition includes eleven new sections based on the approximation of matrix functions, deflating the solution space and improving the accuracy of approximate solutions, iterative solution of initial value problems of systems of ordinary differential equations, and the method of trial functions for boundary value problems. The topics of the two new chapters are integral equations and mathematical optimization. The book provides alternative solutions to software tools amenable to hand computations to validate the results obtained by -black box- solvers. It also offers an insight...
