The Little Book of Mathematical Principles, Theories & Things by Robert Solomon Pdf

This little book makes serious math simple—with more than 120 laws, theorems, paradoxes, and more explained in jargon-free terms. The Little Book of Mathematical Principles provides simple, clear explanations for the principles, equations, paradoxes, laws, and theorems that form the basis of modern mathematics. It is a refreshingly engaging tour of Fibonacci numbers, Euclid's Elements, and Zeno's paradoxes, as well as other fundamental principles such as chaos theory, game theory, and the game of life. Renowned mathematics author Dr. Robert Solomon simplifies the ancient discipline of mathematics and provides fascinating answers to intriguing questions, such as: What is the greatest pyramid?, What is a perfect number?, and Is there a theory for stacking oranges?

THE UNKNOWN AND THE UNKNOWABLE by RAMAN SIVASHANKAR Pdf

The Unknown And The Unknowable is the sequel to my debut book Our Universe An Unending Mystery published by Create Space, an Amazon Company in 2017. In the earlier book, knowledge frontier areas in the physical, spiritual, and occult worlds were identified and their interdependence was highlighted. The present book extends the thought process further into exciting arcane domains like time travel and wormholes in the physical world, religion-the eternal dilemma and the interpretation of dreams in the spiritual and occult worlds respectively. Aside from this, two new areas; The human life form and math conundrums have been added to make the review more comprehensive and interesting. The unique panorama of the human life form from womb to tomb is sketched with notes on the mysterious workings of major organs and glands. Unique human capabilities like the third eye, the use of languages for communication, proprioception, the reality or otherwise of free will and other abstract topics have been evaluated. The math conundrums have been cherry-picked: e.g. the zero discovery and the Ramanujan Magic Square make interesting reading. The book would be a useful addition to libraries wishing to highlight abstract topics.

Mechanics of Impression Evidence by David S. Pierce Pdf

Presenting the hard science increasingly required by courts to back up expert opinion in cases that hinge on impression evidence comparison, this book applies the methods of physics, chemistry, and engineering to analysis and interpretation of fingerprints, footwear and tire tread impressions, and bloodstains. Using easily accessible language, it shows the scientific method behind each of these discrete disciplines. It then combines and cross-references the knowledge within each to ultimately present a more generalist approach and thus a more informed judgment.

Number Theory by James Pommersheim,Tim Marks,Erica Flapan Pdf

Number Theory: A Lively Introduction with Proofs, Applications, and Stories, is a new book that provides a rigorous yet accessible introduction to elementary number theory along with relevant applications. Readable discussions motivate new concepts and theorems before their formal definitions and statements are presented. Many theorems are preceded by Numerical Proof Previews, which are numerical examples that will help give students a concrete understanding of both the statements of the theorems and the ideas behind their proofs, before the statement and proof are formalized in more abstract terms. In addition, many applications of number theory are explained in detail throughout the text, including some that have rarely (if ever) appeared in textbooks. A unique feature of the book is that every chapter includes a math myth, a fictional story that introduces an important number theory topic in a friendly, inviting manner. Many of the exercise sets include in-depth Explorations, in which a series of exercises develop a topic that is related to the material in the section.

Birth of a Theorem by Cédric Villani Pdf

In 2010, French mathematician Cédric Villani received the Fields Medal, the most coveted prize in mathematics, in recognition of a proof which he devised with his close collaborator Clément Mouhot to explain one of the most surprising theories in classical physics. Birth of a Theorem is Villani's own account of the years leading up to the award. It invites readers inside the mind of a great mathematician as he wrestles with the most important work of his career. But you don't have to understand nonlinear Landau damping to love Birth of a Theorem. It doesn't simplify or overexplain; rather, it invites readers into collaboration. Villani's diaries, emails, and musings enmesh you in the process of discovery. You join him in unproductive lulls and late-night breakthroughs. You're privy to the dining-hall conversations at the world's greatest research institutions. Villani shares his favorite songs, his love of manga, and the imaginative stories he tells his children. In mathematics, as in any creative work, it is the thinker's whole life that propels discovery—and with Birth of a Theorem, Cédric Villani welcomes you into his.
