Libros de Matemáticas, página 2 de 470

A la mayoría nos gustan las matemáticas, el problema es que no lo sabemos. La historia de las matemáticas fue escrita por hombres y mujeres con un intelecto sorprendente, pero no se equivoquen: los verdaderos heroes de esta gran novela son las ideas. Esas pequeñas ideas que germinan un dia y se propagan de un siglo a otro, las que nos dicen que hay un mundo de impresionante riqueza justo delante de nuestros ojos.Junto con Mickael Launay, descubriremos que las matematicas son hermosas, poeticas, sorprendentes, emocionantes y estimulantes. El numero Pi es fascinante. La sucesion de Fibonacci y el numero aureo nos llevan por caminos inesperados donde se unen el arte y la naturaleza. Las ecuaciones son un desafio y tambien representan el infinito universo matematico.Si nunca llegaste a comprender las matematicas. Incluso si las llegaste a odiar... ¿Que te pareceria darles una segunda oportunidad? ¡Te sorprenderas!

¿Quién inventó el número cero? ¿Por qué hay 60 segundos en un minuto? ¿Cómo es de grande el infinito? ¿Dónde se cruzan las líneas paralelas? ¿Es cierto que el aleteo de una mariposa puede causar una tormenta en la otra punta del mundo?50 cosas que hay que saber sobre matematicasdesgrana uno a uno los cincuenta conceptos matematicos -antiguos, modernos, cotidianos y esotericos- que nos permitiran entender y dar forma al mundo que nos rodea.

This book is a tribute to Professor Pedro Gil, who created the Department of Statistics, OR and TM at the University of Oviedo, and a former President of the Spanish Society of Statistics and OR (SEIO). In more than eighty original contributions, it illustrates the extent to which Mathematics can help manage uncertainty, a factor that is inherent to real life. Today it goes without saying that, in order to model experiments and systems and to analyze related outcomes and data, it is necessary to consider formal ideas and develop scientific approaches and techniques for dealing with uncertainty

A comprehensive mathematical reference on majorization theory and its applications in statistics and economics.

This text provides a supportive environment to help students successfully learn the content of a standard algebra and trigonometry course. By incorporating interactive learning techniques, the Aufmann team helps students to better understand concepts, focus their studying habits, and obtain greater mathematical success. Prerequisite review is include in the textbook (and supporting materials) so that instructors can spend less time covering review material and students can still fill in the gaps in their mathematical knowledge. Integrated Review Notes provided next to examples throughout the text help students see the key prerequisite skills used within the example. For added convenience, these example-specific notes direct students to the page(s) where they can practice and review the skills needed to understand the new concept, thus decreasing students'' frustration and increasing their success. Prepare for the Next Section Exercises, found at the end of the exercise sets, have been carefully selected to review the prerequisite skills students will need in the next section. Next to each exercise is a reference to a section of the text where students can go to review topics they don''t understand. Answers to all of these exercises are provided in the Answer Appendix to help students better understand what they need to do to prepare for the next section. Interactive reading and study support is provided through careful placement of a Question/Answer feature throughout the exposition of the text so that students can check their understanding of concepts, think more critically about the mathematics, and more actively engage in learning mathematics. To support students studying independently, the Answer to each question is conveniently provided as a footnote on the same page as the question. To create a link between the algebraic and visual representations of a solution, increase students'' understanding of the concept presented, and accommodate different learning styles, the authors have provided both an algebraic solution and a graphical solution (represented by either a coordinate grid graph or a graphing calculator screen) for appropriate examples. Focus on Problem Solving at the beginning of every chapter reviews and demonstrates various strategies used by successful problem-solvers. Students become more comfortable with problem-solving and have a collection of tips and strategies to refer t

Today Lie group theoretical approach to differential equations has been extended to new situations and has become applicable to the majority of equations that frequently occur in applied sciences. Newly developed theoretical and computational methods are awaiting application. Students and applied scientists are expected to understand these methods. Volume 3 and the accompanying software allow readers to extend their knowledge of computational algebra. Written by the world's leading experts in the field, this up-to-date sourcebook covers topics such as Lie-Backlund, conditional and non-classical symmetries, approximate symmetry groups for equations with a small parameter, group analysis of differential equations with distributions, integro-differential equations, recursions, and symbolic software packages. The text provides an ideal introduction to modern group analysis and addresses issues to both beginners and experienced researchers in the application of Lie group methods.
