From the author of The Music of the Primes and Finding Moonshine comes a short, lively book on five mathematical problems that just refuse be solved - and on how many everyday problems can be solved by maths.
Estas notas de clase son el resultado de la experiencia de los autores, tanto estudiantes como profesores, en el curso de Teoria de la medida o Medida e integracion.
This book is a must have for all competitive exams where 10+2 level mathematics questions are asked for example, GMAT, GRE, SAT, ACT, EA, Olympiad, Putnam, ISI, CMI, KVPY, RMO, INMO, CAT, XLRI, IIT JEE, WBJEE etc.
Examines the ancient cosmic science of the female megalithic astronomers*; Describes the shared sacred geometry and astronomy knowledge in the megalithic monuments, temples, and secret calendars of the matrilineal cultures of Malta, Gobekli Tepe, and the Minoans of Crete*; Shows how early Christians helped preserve ancient science by encoding it in the rock-cut churches of the Cappadocia region of Turkey*; Explains how Greek myths reveal the transition from matriarchy to patriarchyLong before Pythagoras and Plato, before arithmetic and Christianity, there existed matrilineal societies around the Mediterranean, led by women with a sophisticated understanding of astronomy and sacred science.
An entertaining and enlightening history of irrational numbers, from ancient Greece to the twenty-first centuryThe ancient Greeks discovered them, but it wasn't until the nineteenth century that irrational numbers were properly understood and rigorously defined, and even today not all their mysteries have been revealed.
La segunda edición de Teoría de los números está dirigida a todos aquellos que encuentran en las matemáticas el lenguaje universal para explicar los fenómenos de nuestro entorno, y por supuesto, a quienes ven en ella una puerta que los conduce a la búsqueda del conocimiento, orientado hacia el desarrollo científico y tecnológico.

The remarkable properties of the numbers one through nineIn Single Digits, Marc Chamberland takes readers on a fascinating exploration of small numbers, from one to nine, looking at their history, applications, and connections to various areas of mathematics, including number theory, geometry, chaos theory, numerical analysis, and mathematical physics.
This comprehensive account of the Gross-Zagier formula on Shimura curves over totally real fields relates the heights of Heegner points on abelian varieties to the derivatives of L-series.
This book considers the so-called Unlikely Intersections, a topic that embraces well-known issues, such as Lang's and Manin-Mumford's, concerning torsion points in subvarieties of tori or abelian varieties.
Convolution and Equidistribution explores an important aspect of number theory--the theory of exponential sums over finite fields and their Mellin transforms--from a new, categorical point of view.
The power and properties of numbers, from basic addition and sums of squares to cutting-edge theoryWe use addition on a daily basis-yet how many of us stop to truly consider the enormous and remarkable ramifications of this mathematical activity?
In the earlier monograph Pseudo-reductive Groups, Brian Conrad, Ofer Gabber, and Gopal Prasad explored the general structure of pseudo-reductive groups.
A look at one of the most exciting unsolved problems in mathematics todayElliptic Tales describes the latest developments in number theory by looking at one of the most exciting unsolved problems in contemporary mathematics-the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture.
EI presente texto es uno de los productos de un proyecto de investigación aprobado por Colciencias y la Universidad del Valle, realizado entre enero de 2005 y abril de 2008 bajo el título de "La constitución histórica de los números reales en la perspectiva de la formación de docente".
Like a hunter who sees 'a bit of blood' on the trail, that's how Princeton mathematician Peter Sarnak describes the feeling of chasing an idea that seems to have a chance of success.
