Surely the reader had come across situations where he would have given his life to get the "e;final answer"e;, the reason for our existence, a Theory of Everything, a true World Formula that contains it all.
The Only Undergraduate Textbook to Teach Both Classical and Virtual Knot TheoryAn Invitation to Knot Theory: Virtual and Classical gives advanced undergraduate students a gentle introduction to the field of virtual knot theory and mathematical research.
This text deals with three basic techniques for constructing models of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory: relative constructibility, Cohen's forcing, and Scott-Solovay's method of Boolean valued models.
Rough Sets and Data Mining: Analysis of Imprecise Data is an edited collection of research chapters on the most recent developments in rough set theory and data mining.
Mathematical Puzzle Tales from Mount Olympus uses fascinating tales from Greek Mythology as the background for introducing mathematics puzzles to the general public.
Ordinal Computability discusses models of computation obtained by generalizing classical models, such as Turing machines or register machines, to transfinite working time and space.
The Equation of Knowledge: From Bayes' Rule to a Unified Philosophy of Science introduces readers to the Bayesian approach to science: teasing out the link between probability and knowledge.
"e;Proofs and Fundamentals: A First Course in Abstract Mathematics"e; 2nd edition is designed as a "e;transition"e; course to introduce undergraduates to the writing of rigorous mathematical proofs, and to such fundamental mathematical ideas as sets, functions, relations, and cardinality.
This collection documents the work of the Hyperuniverse Project which is a new approach to set-theoretic truth based on justifiable principles and which leads to the resolution of many questions independent from ZFC.
This work introduces tools, from the field of category theory, that make it possible to tackle until now unsolvable representation problems (determination of the range of a given functor).
The New Mathematical Coloring Book (TNMCB) includes striking results of the past 15-year renaissance that produced new approaches, advances, and solutions to problems from the first edition.
This book presents the essential role of mathematical modelling and computational methods in representing physical phenomena mathematically, focusing on the significance of the I-function.
Discrete Mathematics: An Open Introduction, Fourth Edition aims to provide an introduction to select topics in discrete mathematics at a level appropriate for first or second year undergraduate math and computer science majors, especially those who intend to teach middle and high school mathematics.
Domains are mathematical structures for information and approximation; they combine order-theoretic, logical, and topological ideas and provide a natural framework for modelling and reasoning about computation.
This is a collection of new investigations and discoveries on the theory of opposition (square, hexagon, octagon, polyhedra of opposition) by the best specialists from all over the world.
This groundbreaking, yet accessible book explores the interaction between graph theory and computational complexity using methods from finite model theory.
This book makes a significant inroad into the unexpectedly difficult question of existence of Frechet derivatives of Lipschitz maps of Banach spaces into higher dimensional spaces.
This book, presented in two parts, offers a slow introduction to mathematical logic, and several basic concepts of model theory, such as first-order definability, types, symmetries, and elementary extensions.
This book is a brief and focused introduction to the reverse mathematics and computability theory of combinatorial principles, an area of research which has seen a particular surge of activity in the last few years.
Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) translate unavoidable variations in certain parameters of materials, waves, or devices into random and unique signals.
This textbook presents the basics of philosophy that are necessary for the student and researcher in science in order to better understand scientific work.
This monograph is intended for an advanced undergraduate or graduate course as well as for researchers, who want a compilation of developments in this rapidly growing field of operations research.
This vital work for researchers and graduate students focuses on resilience estimation and control of cyber-physical networked systems using attacker-defender game theory.
