Index to Mathematical Problems, 1980-1984
A compendium of over 5,000 problems with subject, keyword, author and citation indexes.
The Oxford Handbook of Jewishness and Dance
Demonstrates the major impact that Jewish artists and issues related to the Jewish experience have had on the evolution of dance, Presents the most up-to-date overview of the history of the field of Jewish dance studies currently in publication, Offers first-person insights into historically underrepresented experiences of Jewish dance artists, for example from Yemenite and Ethiopian heritages Book jacket.
And Then Came Dance
Presenting for the first time Akim Volynsky's (1861-1926) pre-balletic writings on Leonardo da Vinci, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Otto Weininger, and on such illustrious personalities as Zinaida Gippius, Ida Rubinstein, and Lou Andreas-Salome, And Then Came Dance provides new insight into the origins of Volynsky's life-altering journey to become Russia's foremost ballet critic. A man for whom the realm of art was largely female in form and whose all-encompassing image of woman constituted the crux of his aesthetic contemplation that crossed over into the personal and libidinal, Volynsky looks ahead to another Petersburg-bred high priest of classical dance, George Balanchine. With an undeniable proclivity toward ballet's female component, Volynsky's dance writings, illuminated by examples of his earlier gendered criticism, invite speculation on how truly ground-breaking and forward-looking this critic is.
Choosing Students
This volume brings a variety of perspectives to bear on the issue of how higher education institutions can - or should - choose students during the early part of the 21st century. Many of the contributors report on research to develop and validate potential tools to assist those responsible for admission decisions. Other contributors, however, pose broader questions about the nature of selective admissions, about institutional responses to the changing demography of those seeking to enter higher education, or about the appropriate criteria of 'success' in higher education. The volume is particularly timely because the question of how changes in admission tools and processes will affect campu...
13 Young Men
Charles E. Smith, a builder and philanthropist, believed the District of Columbia Jewish Community Center of the mid-1960s was obsolete. Racial tensions were repelling Jews from going there, and large populations of Jews had already moved to the Maryland suburbs.Smith thought the Center should be relocated to the Maryland suburbsalongside a Hebrew Home and Jewish Social Service Agency in a unified campus-like setting. Although much of the community did not think the millions of dollars needed to construct such a complex could be raised, Smith did. He taught a community without a philanthropic profile how to raise money, to give generously, and to pass that philosophy onto the succeeding generations.

Pi - Unleashed
Never in the 4000 year history of research into Pi have results been so prolific as at present. In their book Jörg Arndt and Christoph Haenel describe the latest and most fascinating findings of mathematicians and computer scientists in the field of Pi. Attention is focussed on new methods of computation whose speed outstrips that of predecessor methods by orders of magnitude. The book comes with a CD-ROM containing not only the source code of all programme described, but also related texts and even complete libraries.
Which Way Did the Bicycle Go?
This collection will give students (high school or beyond), teachers, and university professors a chance to experience the pleasure of wrestling with some beautiful problems of elementary mathematics. Readers can compare their sleuthing talents with those of Sherlock Holmes, who made a bad mistake regarding the first problem in the collection: Determine the direction of travel of a bicycle that has left its tracks in a patch of mud. Which Way did the Bicycle Go? contains a variety of other unusual and interesting problems in geometry, algebra, combinatorics, and number theory. For example, if a pizza is sliced into eight 45degree wedges meeting at a point other than the center of the pizza, and two people eat alternate wedges, will they get equal amounts of pizza? Or: What is the rightmost nonzero digit of the product $1cdot 2cdot 3cdots 1,000,000$? Or: Is a manufacturer's claim that a certain unusual combination lock allows thousands of combinations justified? Complete solutions to the 191 problems are included along with problem variations and topics for investigation.
Mathematics of Program Construction
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on the Mathematics of Program Construction, MPC 2004, held in Stirling, Scotland, UK in July 2004. The 19 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. Among the topics addressed are programming theory, programming methodology, program specification, program transformation, programming paradigms, programming calculi, and programming language semantics.
Mathematical Diamonds
Ross Honsberger has done it again. He has brought together another wonderful collection of elementary mathematical problems and their solutions abounding in striking surprises and brilliant ideas that reflect the beauty of mathematics. Many of these problems come from mathematical journals. Others come from various mathematical competitions such as the Tournament of the Towns, the Balkan Olympiad, the American Invitational Mathematics Exam, and the Putnam exam. And, of course, there is a problem suggested by Paul Erdos. This book is ideal for students, teachers and anyone interested in recreational mathematics.
