The rudiments of Calculus methods are ordered with an immense degree of specificity. Formulaic applications of universal problems are often best solved with an easily illustrated reference. An annotated chart of the most common and universally-applied Calculus formulas and symbols is a handy way to keep reminders in-check and at-hand. From common core standard procedures to intricate graphical analysis of the unreal and imagined, a concise Calculus reference chart can never be under appreciated....

Знание математики приобретает особое значение в нашу цифровую эпоху. Рассказывая о прошлом, настоящем и будущем математической мысли и о первооткрывателях важнейших математических законов, известный австрийский ученый и популяризатор науки Рудольф Ташнер посвящает нас не только в тайны цифр и чисел, но и шире – в тайны познания. «Из великого множества историй о якобы безмерной власти чисел я отдал предпочтение тем, в которых проводится идея о том, что числа не просто оказались у людей под рукой....

Combinatorial optimization is a multidisciplinary scientific area, lying in the interface of three major scientific domains: mathematics, theoretical computer science and management. The three volumes of the Combinatorial Optimization series aims to cover a wide range of topics in this area. These topics also deal with fundamental notions and approaches as with several classical applications of combinatorial optimization. Concepts of Combinatorial Optimization, is divided into three parts: On...

This is the last, and perhaps most important, work by the man Einstein called «the father of modern science.» Confined to house arrest in the final years of his life after his heresy trial, Galileo Galilei composed his «Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences» in 1638 as a sort of magnum opus to a life devoted to scientific experimentation. The book outlines his investigations into physics and astronomy, and includes such topics as the law of free fall, the science of mechanics, the essential...

Diese illustrierte Ausgabe von «Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane» wurde mit einem funktionalen Layout erstellt und sorgfältig formatiert. Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) war ein deutscher Meteorologe, Polar- und Geowissenschaftler. Als sein wichtigster Beitrag zur Wissenschaft gilt seine erst posthum anerkannte Theorie der Kontinentalverschiebung, die zu einer wesentlichen Grundlage für das heutige Modell der Plattentektonik geworden ist. Zu seinen Lebzeiten war Wegener vor allem für seine...

This book provides an introduction to Lie Theory for first year graduate students and professional physicists who may not have across the theory in their studies. In particular, it is a summary overview of the theory of finite groups, a brief description of a manifold, and then an informal development of the theory of one-parameter Lie groups, especially as they apply to ordinary differential equations. The treatment is informal, but systematic and reasonably self-contained, as it assumes a...

Measurements and experiments are made each and every day, in fields as disparate as particle physics, chemistry, economics and medicine, but have you ever wondered why it is that a particular experiment has been designed to be the way it is. Indeed, how do you design an experiment to measure something whose value is unknown, and what should your considerations be on deciding whether an experiment has yielded the sought after, or indeed any useful result? These are old questions, and they are the...
