Uses the history of mathematics to facilitate active learning in the mathematics classroom.

As Owen O'Shea and the imaginary American Professor, Richard Stein, travel through Ireland, O'Shea notes the Professor's collection of amazing magic numbers in fascinating detail. The curiosities are wide ranging from coincidences about Apollo 11 and the first moon walk to proposition bets involving dice, darts, and playing cards.

Based on some of the most memorable contributions honouring Leonhard Euler in the years approaching his tercentenary, this book will appeal to anyone with an interest in the history of mathematics, and serves as a compelling introduction to one of the greatest mathematical minds of all time.

Techniques for solving problems from the American Mathematics Competitions, essential reading for anyone interested in logical problem solving.

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.

The new edition of a favourite, featuring fresh material such as betting in sport and bluffing in poker.

A collection of true stories, anecdotes and other gems from the literature of mathematics that shine as brightly today as when they first appeared - they deserve to be seen and admired. Most are non-technical and will be found interesting, amusing or informative by readers with any interest in mathematics.

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.

Math Horizons celebrates the people and ideas that are mathematics. Containing the editors' selection from the first ten years of the magazine's existence, this volume features exquisite expositions of mathematics accessible at the undergraduate or advanced school level. Broad and appealing, the coverage also includes fiction with mathematical themes.

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.

This innovative textbook leads students on a carefully guided discovery of introductory number theory. The book is designed to develop students' mathematical thinking skills, particularly theorem-proving skills, whilst helping them understand some of the wonderfully rich ideas in the mathematical study of numbers.

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.

This is a widely accessible introductory treatment of infinite series of real numbers, bringing the reader from basic definitions and tests to advanced results. An up-to-date presentation is given, making infinite series accessible, interesting, and useful to a wide audience, including students, teachers, and researchers.

A companion to Mathematical Apocrypha, this second volume of anecdotes, stories, quips, and ruminations about mathematics and mathematicians is sure to please. The purpose of this lively, engaging, and informative book is to explore and to celebrate the many facets of mathematical life, revealing mathematicians as intense, human, and sympathetic.

Classroom resource material allowing the integration of mathematics history into undergraduate mathematics teaching.

Collection of elementary mathematical problems with solutions. Ideal for students, teachers and general readers.

Advanced textbook on central topic of pure mathematics.

Topology is a branch of mathematics packed with intriguing concepts, fascinating geometrical objects, and ingenious methods for studying them. The authors approach in this textbook is to cultivate the intuitive ideas of continuity, convergence, and connectedness so students can discover the exciting geometrical ideas of topology now(!) rather than later.

Supplementary exercises and projects for use in maths labs or classes.

This is a concise introduction to Fourier series covering history, major themes, theorems, examples, and applications. It can be used for self study, and to supplement, enhance, and embellish undergraduate courses on mathematical analysis. Exercises of varying levels of difficulty are scattered throughout the book to test understanding.

A collection of materials gathered by the author while teaching real analysis over a period of years.

Essentials of Mathematics is designed as both a textbook and outside reading for college students who want to prepare themselves for mathematics courses beyond the first-year level and take courses in which proofs play a major role. There are also narratives on the nature of mathematics and the mathematics profession.

The language of mathematics has proven over centuries of application to be an indispensable tool for the expression and analysis of real problems. Here Kalman explains for an audience of non-mathematicians the relevance of mathematical models to phenomena ranging from population growth and economics to medicine and the physical sciences.

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.

We are all familiar with the everyday notion of two-sided symmetry, but in its broadest interpretation symmetry is a property which involves regularity and repetition. This book presents selected examples of such symmetry in an understandable way for students and teachers of mathematics as well as the interested layman.

This is the story of American mathematics during the past century. It contains articles and excerpts from a century of the American Mathematical Monthly, giving the reader an opportunity to skim all one hundred volumes of this popular mathematics magazine without actually opening them.

An examination of symmetry for the interested layman.

This book examines the huge scope of mathematical areas explored and developed by Leonhard Euler.

This book contains problems and solutions from a famous Hungarian mathematics competition for high school students.

Illustrated book showing that there are few degrees of separation between mathematics and topics that provoke interesting conversations.
