Complexities
Sophie Germain taught herself mathematics by candlelight, huddled in her bedclothes. Ada Byron Lovelace anticipated aspects of general-purpose digital computing by more than a century. Cora Ratto de Sadosky advanced messages of tolerance and equality while sharing her mathematical talents with generations of students. This captivating book gives voice to women mathematicians from the late eighteenth century through to the present day. It documents the complex nature of the conditions women around the world have faced--and continue to face--while pursuing their careers in mathematics. The stories of the three women above and those of many more appear here, each one enlightening and inspiring....
Selected Topics in Algebraic Geometry
This book resulted from two reports (published in 1928 and 1932) of the Committee on Rational Transformations, established by the National Research Council. The purpose of the reports was to give a comprehensive survey of the literature on the subject. Each chapter is regarded as a separate unit that can be read independently.
Analytic Geometry of Space
The study of analytic geometry has long been a foundational component of mathematical education, and this classic text by Charles Herschel Sisam and Virgil Snyder remains one of the most thorough and lucid treatments of the subject available. In clear and accessible prose, the authors offer a detailed exploration of the key concepts and techniques that underlie analytic geometry, including vectors, planes, and points, as well as the applications of these principles in fields ranging from physics and engineering to economics and computer science. An essential reference for students, teachers, and anyone interested in the beauty and power of mathematics. This work has been selected by scholars...
A History of Mathematics in the United States and Canada
This is the first truly comprehensive and thorough history of the development of mathematics and a mathematical community in the United States and Canada. This first volume of the multi-volume work takes the reader from the European encounters with North America in the fifteenth century up to the emergence of a research community the United States in the last quarter of the nineteenth. In the story of the colonial period, particular emphasis is given to several prominent colonial figures—Jefferson, Franklin, and Rittenhouse—and four important early colleges—Harvard, Québec, William & Mary, and Yale. During the first three-quarters of the nineteenth century, mathematics in North Americ...
