The authors of the essays in the this volume describe a wide variety of careers for which a background in the mathematical sciences is useful. Each of the jobs presented show real people in real jobs. Their individual histories, demonstrate how the study of mathematics helped them land good paying jobs in predictable places like IBM, AT&T, and American Airlines, and in surprising places like FedEx Corporation, L.L. Bean, and Perdue Farms, Inc. You will also learn about job opportunities in the Federal Government, as well as exciting careers in the arts, sculpture, music and television. There are really no limits to what you can do if you are well prepared in mathematics.The degrees earned by the authors profiled here, range from bachelors to masters to Ph.D. in approximately equal numbers. Most of the writers use the mathematical sciences on a daily basis in their work; others rely on the general problem-solving skills acquired in mathematics as they deal with complex issues.Students should not overlook the articles in the Appendix that are reprinted from the MAA?s student magazine, "Math Horizons" These articles provide valuable advice on looking for a job and on the expectations of industry.

"A first-rate contribution to the history and philosophy of logic, this is scholarship at its best. It is, to my knowledge, the first book in the history of logic that focuses completely on a single result. Very original in approach and conception, it goes against the grain of much recent scholarship. Given the complexity of the subject, Badesa could not have done a better job of being clear and making the presentation accessible."--""The Birth of Model Theory" represents a long overdue, in-depth analysis and exposition of one of the most important results in mathematical logic. There are hardly any informed, sustained treatments of Lowenheim''s work to be found in the literature. This well-written book should fill this gap."--

Martha L. Abell, James P. BraseltonMathematica by Example, 4e is designed to introduce the Mathematica programming language to a wide audience.

Este texto proporciona una introducción sólida, legible y comprensible a la matemática discreta y combinatoria para el estudiante que comienza. El libro puede usarse como texto guía para cursos de matemática discreta y combinatoria, teoría de grafos y en álgebra aplicada. Se incluyen más de 1.700 ejercicios a lo largo de libro que facilitan el aprendizaje.

El lector tiene ahora en sus manos un manual de análisis matemático. Esta obra abarca tres áreas principalmente. Una primera parte se centra en el cálculo para funciones de una variable. La segunda cubre el calculo para funciones de mas de una variable. La ultima parte se dedica a las ecuaciones diferenciales en derivadas ordinarias. Es importante estudiar los capitulos de este texto de manera secuencial para que asi se pueda asimilar bien la materia. Se trata de un manual eminentemente practico dirigido a estudiantes de Ingenieria que en su primer curso universitario necesiten cubrir la formacion en analisis matematico. Tambien puede ser de utilidad como material complementario o de consulta en cualquier grado de ciencia basica. Al tener una orientacion practica, contiene basicamente ejercicios resueltos, asi como ejercicios propuestos y sus soluciones. Para alcanzar la necesaria formacion es imprescindible tratar de resolver estos ejercicios. Al fin y al cabo, la unica manera de aprender Matematicas es conseguir destreza a la hora de resolver problemas. Esperamos que este texto sea de su agrado.

La séptima edición de esta reconocida obra ofrece una cobertura equilibrada de la teoría, las aplicaciones y el cálculo en la investigación de operaciones, e incluye situaciones prácticas completamente analizadas. Cada capitulo contiene ejemplos y aplicaciones tomadas de estudios de casos ya pubicados. Para destacar la efectividad de la investigacion de operaciones para la toma de decisiones, esta edicion hace enfasis en las herramientas de calculo modernas -los programas de computo.
