This text aims to combine the seemingly disparate subject areas of linear algebra and numerics under one cover. It comes with software MATALG (IBM 3.5 disk), packaged specifically by the author. Other computer algebra systems (CAS) such as MATLAB or Mathematica are also compatible with this book.
Presents frequently-asked student questions from the junior high mathematics classroom. The questions, and suggested answers, are grouped by topic. Part 1 covers algebra I and geometry; part 2 coveres algebra II, calculus, elementary functions, probability, and trigonometry. Intermediate level.
This introduction to Euclidean geometry emphasizes transformations, particularly isometries and similarities. Suitable for undergraduate courses, it includes numerous examples, many with detailed answers. 1972 edition.
This book should be of interest to second and third year undergraduates in mathematics.
An intriguing look at the "impossible" geometric constructions (those that defy completion with just a ruler and a compass), this book covers angle trisection and circle division. 1970 edition.
College Geometry is divided into two parts. Part I is a sequel to basic high school geometry and introduces the reader to some of the important modern extensions of elementary geometry- extension that have largely entered into the mainstream of mathematics. Part II treats notions of geometric structure that arose with the non-Euclidean revolution in the first half of the nineteenth century.
Where did math come from? Who thought up all those algebra symbols, and why? What is the story behind π π? … negative numbers? … the metric system? … quadratic equations? … sine and cosine? … logs? The 30 independent historical sketches in Math through the Ages answer these questions and many others in an informal, easygoing style that is accessible to teachers, students, and anyone who is curious about the history of mathematical ideas. Each sketch includes Questions and Projects to help you learn more about its topic and to see how the main ideas fit into the bigger picture of history. The 30 short stories are preceded by a 58-page bird's-eye overview of the entire panorama of ...
Biographies of 23 important mathematicians span many centuries and cultures. Historical Learning Tasks provide 21 in-depth treatments of a variety of historical problems.
Concise, masterly survey of a substantial part of modern matrix theory introduces broad range of ideas involving both matrix theory and matrix inequalities. Also, convexity and matrices, localization of characteristic roots, proofs of classical theorems and results in contemporary research literature, more. Undergraduate-level. 1969 edition. Bibliography.
