The Language of Mathematics: Utilizing Math in Practice
ISBN: 9780470878897 / Angielski / Twarda / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A new and unique way of understanding the translation of concepts and natural language into mathematical expressions
Transforming a body of text into corresponding mathematical expressions and models is traditionally viewed and taught as a mathematical problem; it is also a task that most find difficult. The Language of Mathematics: Utilizing Math in Practice reveals a new way to view this process--not as a mathematical problem, but as a translation, or language, problem. By presenting the language of mathematics explicitly and systematically, this book helps...

MAGIC SQUARE (based on yin-yang principle)
ISBN: 9781456354220 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book, Magic Square (based on yin-yang principle), teaches the reader the methodology in solving all the magic square from the order 3 to the order N. Firstly, from the yin-yang pair of symmetry-asymmetry, we category all the magic squares into 3 categories, namely the 2N+1, 4N and 4N+2. The categorization becomes the backbone of how we developed the methodology in solving the magic square. Secondly, the yin-yang pairs of movable-immovable and clockwise-anticlockwise are used to solve magic square in few steps. Each category has its own methodology. The methodology derived from this is of...

Flatland: a Romance of Many Dimensions
ISBN: 9781781390467 / Angielski / Miękka / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Flatland is a fascinating nineteenth century work - an utterly unique combination of multi-plane geometry, social satire and whimsy. Although its original publication went largely unnoticed, the discoveries of later physicists brought it new recognition and respect, and its popularity since has justly never waned. It remains a charming and entertaining read, and a brilliant introduction to the concept of dimensions beyond those we can perceive. This is a reworking of the expanded 2nd edition of 1884, with particularly large, clear text, and all the original authors illustrations.
