Bøger i Spectrum serien

A remarkable collection, which discusses not only Euler's well-known achievements in pure mathematics, but also his contributions in many other areas, from astronomy to music. Even readers already familiar with Euler and his work will find here much to enhance their appreciation of this extraordinary scientist and human being.

A collection of the best from Mathematics Magazine. There is history of mathematics (including algebraic, numbers, inequalities, probability, quaternions, and group theory) and history of mathematicians (Hypatia, Gauss, E. T. Bell, Hamilton, and Euler). This book features award-winning articles from a star-studded list of authors.

Describing Euler's early mathematical works, this book is a portrait of the world's most exciting mathematics between 1725 and 1741, rich in technical detail. Woven with connections within Euler's work and with the work of other mathematicians in other times and places, laced with historical context.

The 99 points of intersection presented here were collected during a year-long search for surprising concurrence of lines. For each example we find compelling evidence for the sometimes startling fact that in a geometric figure three straight lines, or sometimes circles, pass through one and the same point.

The anthology is a collection of articles written by renowned mathematicians of the twentieth century. The articles span roughly a century in time and a wide range in subject. They are by mathematicians acknowledged by their peers as outstanding creators whose work has added richly to the discipline.

Science News publishes a weekly column devoted to 'cool stuff' from the world of mathematics. New developments and their applications, old puzzles revisited, famous problems and historic events have all featured. Ivars Peterson has enhanced and updated a selection of articles for this book.

Gives an article-by-article description of Leonhard Euler's early mathematical works; the 50 or so mathematical articles he wrote before he left St. Petersburg in 1741 to join the Academy of Frederick the Great in Berlin. These early pieces contain some of Euler's greatest work.

Presents a collection of essays written about mathematicians and mathematics. The text is suitable as a supplement for a calculus course and/or a history of mathematics course, The overall aim is bound up in the question, "What is mathematics for?" and in Simmons' answer, "To delight the mind and help us understand the world".

This book is the second volume based on lectures for pre-college students given by prominent mathematicians in the Bay Area Mathematical Adventures (BAMA). The topics cover a wide range of mathematical subjects each treated by a leading proponent of the subject at levels designed to challenge and attract students whose mathematical interests are just beginning.

Through the mid-nineteenth century, most American colleges followed a classical curriculum that, in mathematics, rarely reached beyond calculus. With no doctoral programs of any sort in the United States until 1860, mathematical scholarship lagged far behind that in Europe. After the Civil War, visionary presidents at Harvard and Johns Hopkins broadened and deepened the opportunities for study.
