The Four Corners of Mathematics: A Brief History, from Pythagoras to Perelman describes the historical development of the 'big ideas' in mathematics in an accessible and intuitive manner.
Mathematical Theory of Fuzzy Sets presents the mathematical theory of non-normal fuzzy sets such that it can be rigorously used as a basic tool to study engineering and economic problems under a fuzzy environment.
Saunders Mac Lane was an extraordinary mathematician, a dedicated teacher, and a good citizen who cared deeply about the values of science and education.
Continuing a bestselling tradition, An Introduction to Cryptography, Second Edition provides a solid foundation in cryptographic concepts that features all of the requisite background material on number theory and algorithmic complexity as well as a historical look at the field.
Consider this: Robots will one day be able to write poetry and prose so touching that it will make men weep; compose dozens or even hundreds of symphonies that will rival the work of Mozart; judge a court case with absolute impartiality and fairness; or even converse with the natural ease of your best friend.
