Diophantus and Diophantine Equations
Av Isabella Grigoryevna Bashmakova
Häftad, 1997
428 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book tells the story of Diophantine analysis, a subject that, owing to its thematic proximity to algebraic geometry, became fashionable in the last half century and has remained so ever since. This new treatment of the methods of Diophantus-a person whose very existence has long been doubted …
Logica As Algebra
Häftad, 1998
428 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Here is an introduction to modern logic that differs from others by treating logic from an algebraic perspective. What this means is that notions and results from logic become much easier to understand when seen from a familiar standpoint of algebra. The presentation, written in the engaging and …
Cornucopia of Quadrilaterals
Av Claudi Alsina, Roger B. Nelsen
Inbunden, 2020
723 kr
Lägg i varukorg
A Cornucopia of Quadrilaterals collects and organizes hundreds of beautiful and surprising results about four-sided figures--for example, that the midpoints of the sides of any quadrilateral are the vertices of a parallelogram, or that in a convex quadrilateral (not a parallelogram) the line …
Icons of Mathematics
An Exploration of Twenty Key Images
Av Claudi Alsina, Roger B. Nelsen
Häftad, 2020
793 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The authors present twenty icons of mathematics, that is, geometrical shapes such as the right triangle, the Venn diagram, and the yang and yin symbol and explore mathematical results associated with them. As with their previous books (Charming Proofs, When Less is More, Math Made Visual) proofs …
Gateway to Number Theory
Applying the Power of Algebraic Curves
Av Keith Kendig

723 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Challenge: Can you find all the integers $a$, $b$, $c$ satisfying $2a^{2} + 3b^{2} = 5c^{2}$? Looks simple, and there are in fact a number of easy solutions. But most of them turn out to be anything but obvious! There are infinitely many possibilities, and as any computer will tell you, each of …
Exploring Continued Fractions
From the Integers to Solar Eclipses
Häftad, 2019
793 kr
Lägg i varukorg
There is a nineteen-year recurrence in the apparent position of the sun and moon against the background of the stars, a pattern observed long ago by the Babylonians. In the course of those nineteen years the Earth experiences 235 lunar cycles. Suppose we calculate the ratio of Earth's period about …

Beyond Pascal's Triangle
Häftad, 2026
835 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Beautiful self-similar patterns emerge when the entries of Pascal's Triangle are reduced modulo a positive integer $n$. This book offers an engaging exploration of a natural extension of this idea: since the integers modulo $n$ form a finite group, what happens when we construct Pascal-like …
