With a never-before published paper by Lord Henry Cavendish, as well as a biography on him, this book offers a fascinating discourse on the rise of scientific attitudes and ways of knowing.
Introduction to the Theory of Optimization in Euclidean Space is intended to provide students with a robust introduction to optimization in Euclidean space, demonstrating the theoretical aspects of the subject whilst also providing clear proofs and applications.
Like its bestselling predecessor, Elliptic Curves: Number Theory and Cryptography, Second Edition develops the theory of elliptic curves to provide a basis for both number theoretic and cryptographic applications.
This book constitutes the post-conference proceedings of the 17th International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science, CMCS 2024, colocated with ETAPS 2024, held in Luxembourg in April 2024.
So-called classical logic--the logic developed in the early twentieth century by Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell, and others--is computationally the simplest of the major logics, and it is adequate for the needs of most mathematicians.
At the close of the nineteenth century, we stood on the threshold of one of the greatest periods of science, in which the entire world and understanding of science would be shaken to the core and greatly modified.
This book constitutes the post-conference proceedings of the 17th International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science, CMCS 2024, colocated with ETAPS 2024, held in Luxembourg in April 2024.
Mathematical Puzzle Tales from Mount Olympus uses fascinating tales from Greek Mythology as the background for introducing mathematics puzzles to the general public.
This textbook covers key topics of Elementary Calculus through selected exercises, in a sequence that facilitates development of problem-solving abilities and techniques.
Starting with a simple formulation accessible to all mathematicians, this second edition is designed to provide a thorough introduction to nonstandard analysis.
This book presents several recent advances in natural language semantics and explores the boundaries between syntax and semantics over the last two decades.
Saunders Mac Lane was an extraordinary mathematician, a dedicated teacher, and a good citizen who cared deeply about the values of science and education.
This book describes the need of copyright protection for multimedia objects and develops an invisible image watermarking scheme to serve the purpose of copyright protection.
This book presents the entire body of thought of Norbert Wiener (1894-1964), knowledge of which is essential if one wishes to understand and correctly interpret the age in which we live.
Dieses Buch enthält die so genannte höhere Mathematik, also die über das einfache Rechnen hinausgehende Mathematik, deren Lehre gewöhnlich in den letzten Schuljahren begonnen und in den ersten Studiensemestern erweitert und vertieft wird.
Despite decades of work in evolutionary algorithms, there remains a lot of uncertainty as to when it is beneficial or detrimental to use recombination or mutation.
Finite model theory, the model theory of finite structures, has roots in clas- sical model theory; however, its systematic development was strongly influ- enced by research and questions of complexity theory and of database theory.
Edited in collaboration with FoLLI, the Association of Logic, Language and Information, this book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third Tsinghua Interdisciplinary Workshop on Logic, Language, and Meaning, TLLM 2022, which was held virtually in April 2022.
Metric fixed point theory encompasses the branch of fixed point theory which metric conditions on the underlying space and/or on the mappings play a fundamental role.
The thirty-one papers collected in this volume represent most of the arti- cles that I have published in the philosophy of science and related founda- tional areas of science since 1970.
The most comprehensive account of the mathematician's life and workJohn Napier (1550-1617) is celebrated today as the man who invented logarithms-an enormous intellectual achievement that would soon lead to the development of their mechanical equivalent in the slide rule: the two would serve humanity as the principal means of calculation until the mid-1970s.
