This book was released on 2023-08-25 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook bridges the gap between lower-division mathematics courses and advanced mathematical thinking. Featuring clear writing and appealing topics, the book introduces techniques for writing proofs in the context of discrete mathematics. By illuminating the concepts behind techniques, the authors create opportunities for readers to sharpen critical thinking skills and develop mathematical maturity. Beginning with an introduction to sets and logic, the book goes on to establish the basics of proof techniques. From here, chapters explore proofs in the context of number theory, combinatorics, functions and cardinality, and graph theory. A selection of extension topics concludes the book, including continued fractions, infinite arithmetic, and the interplay among Fibonacci numbers, Pascal's triangle, and the golden ratio. A Discrete Transition to Advanced Mathematics is suitable for an introduction to proof course or a course in discrete mathematics. Abundant examples and exercises invite readers to get involved, and the wealth of topics allows for course customization and further reading.

Download or read book Sleight of Mind written by Matt Cook and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “fun, brain-twisting book . . . will make you think” as it explores more than 75 paradoxes in mathematics, philosophy, physics, and the social sciences (Sean Carroll, New York Times–bestselling author of Something Deeply Hidden). Paradox is a sophisticated kind of magic trick. A magician’s purpose is to create the appearance of impossibility, to pull a rabbit from an empty hat. Yet paradox doesn’t require tangibles, like rabbits or hats. Paradox works in the abstract, with words and concepts and symbols, to create the illusion of contradiction. There are no contradictions in reality, but there can appear to be. In Sleight of Mind, Matt Cook and a few collaborators dive deeply into more than 75 paradoxes in mathematics, physics, philosophy, and the social sciences. As each paradox is discussed and resolved, Cook helps readers discover the meaning of knowledge and the proper formation of concepts—and how reason can dispel the illusion of contradiction. The journey begins with “a most ingenious paradox” from Gilbert and Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance. Readers will then travel from Ancient Greece to cutting-edge laboratories, encounter infinity and its different sizes, and discover mathematical impossibilities inherent in elections. They will tackle conundrums in probability, induction, geometry, and game theory; perform “supertasks”; build apparent perpetual motion machines; meet twins living in different millennia; explore the strange quantum world—and much more.
