The Proof is in the Pudding
Springer 2011; US$ 31.99This text explores the many transformations that the mathematical proof has undergone from its inception to its versatile, present-day use, considering the advent of high-speed computing machines. Though there are many truths to be discovered in this book, by the end it is clear that there is no formalized approach or standard method of discovery to... more...
A Transition to Abstract Mathematics
Elsevier Science 2008; US$ 89.95Constructing concise and correct proofs is one of the most challenging aspects of learning to work with advanced mathematics. Meeting this challenge is a defining moment for those considering a career in mathematics or related fields. Mathematical Thinking and Writing teaches readers to construct proofs and communicate with the precision necessary... more...
Frege's Notations
Palgrave Macmillan 2012; US$ 85.00A faithful reading of Frege's ideographic notations makes terms and well-formed formulas disjoint categories. Where ? is a function term, ?? is a well-formed formula. We can at last read Frege in the original. And when we do, new solutions to the many problems of interpreting his philosophy are revealed. more...
Mathematischer Einführungskurs für die Physik
Springer 2012; US$ 31.99Studierende, die ein Physikstudium aufnehmen, brauchen zu Beginn vor allem eines: mathematische Grundkenntnisse. Da es sich hierbei zun chst um einen relativ beschr nkten und charakteristischen Ausschnitt aus der Mathematik handelt, werden die ben tigten Kompetenzen vor allem im Rahmen von Tutorien oder Arbeitsgruppen vermittelt. Dieser Einf hrungskurs... more...
