Die Schulmathematik vermittelt meist nur einen sehr eingeschränkten Einblick in die beweisorientierte und axiomatisch aufgebaute moderne Mathematik – Studienanfänger werden daher oft unvorbereitet von der Hochschulmathematik getroffen.
This vividly illustrated history of the International Congress of Mathematicians- a meeting of mathematicians from around the world held roughly every four years- acts as a visual history of the 25 congresses held between 1897 and 2006, as well as a story of changes in the culture of mathematics over the past century.
Advances in Computational Intelligence and Learning: Methods and Applications presents new developments and applications in the area of Computational Intelligence, which essentially describes methods and approaches that mimic biologically intelligent behavior in order to solve problems that have been difficult to solve by classical mathematics.
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.
Research in mathematics is much more than solving puzzles, but most people will agree that solving puzzles is not just fun: it helps focus the mind and increases one's armory of techniques for doing mathematics.
Kurt Godel (1906 - 1978) was the most outstanding logician of the twentieth century, famous for his hallmark works on the completeness of logic, the incompleteness of number theory, and the consistency of the axiom of choice and the continuum hypothesis.
This book focuses on various authorization and access control techniques, threats and attack modeling, including an overview of the Open Authorization 2.
From a Geometrical Point of View explores historical and philosophical aspects of category theory, trying therewith to expose its significance in the mathematical landscape.
