Mathematics in Politics and Governance
Zusammenfassung: This book presents the mathematical tools that politicians use to make rational decisions about health, education, culture, economy, finance, transportation, and national defense for their citizens. The selection of topics addressed is based on the experiences of four veteran politicians who have doctorates or master's degrees in mathematics. The exposition also considers the mathematical tools used by politicians to capture votes or optimize their impact on the design of electoral districts, i.e., gerrymandering, without forgetting the mathematics applied to parliamentary activity and political science. Aimed at a general educated readership, a basic knowledge of mathematic...
Proceedings Of The International Congress Of Mathematicians 2010 (Icm 2010) (In 4 Volumes) - Vol. I: Plenary Lectures And Ceremonies, Vols. Ii-iv: Invited Lectures
ICM 2010 proceedings comprises a four-volume set containing articles based on plenary lectures and invited section lectures, the Abel and Noether lectures, as well as contributions based on lectures delivered by the recipients of the Fields Medal, the Nevanlinna, and Chern Prizes. The first volume will also contain the speeches at the opening and closing ceremonies and other highlights of the Congress.
Pi: The Next Generation
This book contains a compendium of 25 papers published since the 1970s dealing with pi and associated topics of mathematics and computer science. The collection begins with a Foreword by Bruce Berndt. Each contribution is preceded by a brief summary of its content as well as a short key word list indicating how the content relates to others in the collection. The volume includes articles on actual computations of pi, articles on mathematical questions related to pi (e.g., “Is pi normal?”), articles presenting new and often amazing techniques for computing digits of pi (e.g., the “BBP” algorithm for pi, which permits one to compute an arbitrary binary digit of pi without needing to co...
Implicit Functions and Solution Mappings
The implicit function theorem is one of the most important theorems in analysis and its many variants are basic tools in partial differential equations and numerical analysis. This second edition of Implicit Functions and Solution Mappings presents an updated and more complete picture of the field by including solutions of problems that have been solved since the first edition was published, and places old and new results in a broader perspective. The purpose of this self-contained work is to provide a reference on the topic and to provide a unified collection of a number of results which are currently scattered throughout the literature. Updates to this edition include new sections in almost all chapters, new exercises and examples, updated commentaries to chapters and an enlarged index and references section.
Variational Methods in Nonlinear Analysis
This well-thought-out book covers the fundamentals of nonlinear analysis, with a particular focus on variational methods and their applications. Starting from preliminaries in functional analysis, it expands in several directions such as Banach spaces, fixed point theory, nonsmooth analysis, minimax theory, variational calculus and inequalities, critical point theory, monotone, maximal monotone and pseudomonotone operators, and evolution problems.
Computational Discovery on Jupyter
This book uses Python to teach mathematics not found in the standard curriculum, so students learn a popular programming language as well as some interesting mathematics. Videos, images, programs, programming activities, pencil-and-paper activities, and associated Jupyter Notebooks accompany the text, and readers are encouraged to interact with and extend the material as well as contribute their own notebooks. Indeed, some of the material was created/discovered/invented/published first by the authors’ students. Useful pedagogical features include using an active learning approach with topics not typically found in a standard math curriculum; introducing concepts using programming, not proof, with the goal of preparing readers for the need for proof; and accompanying all activities with a full discussion. Computational Discovery on Jupyter is for upper-level high school and lower-level college students. Graduate students in mathematics will also find it of interest.

El secreto de los números
Esta obra por capítulos pretende difundir y divulgar la importancia de las matemáticas en el desarrollo de la actividad humana desde diferentes contextos y puntos de vista, señalando al mismo tiempo sus relaciones con otras disciplinas o campos de conocimiento. En particular, este libro muestra algunas conexiones de las matemáticas con la arqueología, la tecnología, la física, la geología, la criminología, la egiptología, la economía, el deporte, la música, los sistemas electorales o internet. Además, se recogen algunos capítulos que recorren detalles de la vida y obra de ciertos matemáticos que influyeron notablemente en el desarrollo de esta disciplina.
From Analysis to Visualization
Students and researchers from all fields of mathematics are invited to read and treasure this special Proceedings. A conference was held 25 –29 September 2017 at Noah’s On the Beach, Newcastle, Australia, to commemorate the life and work of Jonathan M. Borwein, a mathematician extraordinaire whose untimely passing in August 2016 was a sorry loss to mathematics and to so many members of its community, a loss that continues to be keenly felt. A polymath, Jonathan Borwein ranks among the most wide ranging and influential mathematicians of the last 50 years, making significant contributions to an exceptional diversity of areas and substantially expanding the use of the computer as a tool of the research mathematician. The contributions in this commemorative volume probe Dr. Borwein's ongoing legacy in areas where he did some of his most outstanding work: Applied Analysis, Optimization and Convex Functions; Mathematics Education; Financial Mathematics; plus Number Theory, Special Functions and Pi, all tinged by the double prisms of Experimental Mathematics and Visualization, methodologies he championed.
