What's Happening in the Mathematical Sciences, Volume 4
This volume is fourth in the series "What's Happening in the Mathematical Sciences". As the 20th century draws to a close, it presents the state of modern mathematics and its world-wide significance. It includes "Beetlemania: Chaos in Ecology", on evidence for chaotic dynamics in a population.
What's Happening in the Mathematical Sciences, Volume 3
Beautifully produced and marvelously written this volume contains 10 articles on recent developments in the field. In an engaging, reader-friendly style, Cipra explores topics ranging from Fermat's Last Theorem to Computational Fluid Dynamics. The volumes in this series are intended to highlight the many roles mathematics plays in the modern world. Volume 3 includes articles on: a new mathematical methods that's taking Wall Street by storm, "Ultra-parallel" supercomputing with DNA, and how a mathematician found the famous flaw in the Pentium chip. Unique in kind, lively in style, Volume 3 of What's Happening in the Mathematical Sciences is a delight to read and a valuable source of information.
What's Happening in the Mathematical Sciences
Mathematicians like to point out that mathematics is universal. In spite of this, most people continue to view it as either mundane (balancing a checkbook) or mysterious (cryptography). This fifth volume of the What's Happening series contradicts that view by showing that mathematics is indeed found everywhere-in science, art, history, and our everyday lives. Here is some of what you'll find in this volume: Mathematics and Science Mathematical biology: Mathematics was key tocracking the genetic code. Now, new mathematics is needed to understand the three-dimensional structure of the proteins produced from that code. Celestial mechanics and cosmology: New methods have revealed a multitude of ...

Prime Suspects
This outrageous graphic novel investigates key concepts in mathematics by taking readers on a voyage of forensic discovery, exploring some of the most fundamental ideas in mathematics within a thrilling murder mystery.
Tribute to a Mathemagician
The tradition of a publication based on the Gathering for Gardner continues with this new carefully selected and edited collection in which Martin Gardner and friends inspire and entertain. The contributors to this volume---virtually a list of Who's Who in the World of Puzzles---trace their inspiration to Martin Gardner's puzzle column in Scientifi
The Inquisitive Problem Solver
Collection of minature mathematical puzzles for students and general readers.
Cryptography's Role in Securing the Information Society
For every opportunity presented by the information age, there is an opening to invade the privacy and threaten the security of the nation, U.S. businesses, and citizens in their private lives. The more information that is transmitted in computer-readable form, the more vulnerable we become to automated spying. It's been estimated that some 10 billion words of computer-readable data can be searched for as little as $1. Rival companies can glean proprietary secrets . . . anti-U.S. terrorists can research targets . . . network hackers can do anything from charging purchases on someone else's credit card to accessing military installations. With patience and persistence, numerous pieces of data ...
Harmonic Analysis on Symmetric Spaces—Higher Rank Spaces, Positive Definite Matrix Space and Generalizations
This text is an introduction to harmonic analysis on symmetric spaces, focusing on advanced topics such as higher rank spaces, positive definite matrix space and generalizations. It is intended for beginning graduate students in mathematics or researchers in physics or engineering. As with the introductory book entitled "Harmonic Analysis on Symmetric Spaces - Euclidean Space, the Sphere, and the Poincaré Upper Half Plane, the style is informal with an emphasis on motivation, concrete examples, history, and applications. The symmetric spaces considered here are quotients X=G/K, where G is a non-compact real Lie group, such as the general linear group GL(n,P) of all n x n non-singular real m...
