Download or read book Life Stories written by David Remnick and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2001-05-15 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of art's purest challenges is to translate a human being into words. The New Yorker has met this challenge more successfully and more originally than any other modern American journal. It has indelibly shaped the genre known as the Profile. Starting with light-fantastic evocations of glamorous and idiosyncratic figures of the twenties and thirties, such as Henry Luce and Isadora Duncan, and continuing to the present, with complex pictures of such contemporaries as Mikhail Baryshnikov and Richard Pryor, this collection of New Yorker Profiles presents readers with a portrait gallery of some of the most prominent figures of the twentieth century. These Profiles are literary-journalistic investigations into character and accomplishment, motive and madness, beauty and ugliness, and are unrivalled in their range, their variety of style, and their embrace of humanity. Including these twenty-eight profiles: “Mr. Hunter’s Grave” by Joseph Mitchell “Secrets of the Magus” by Mark Singer “Isadora” by Janet Flanner “The Soloist” by Joan Acocella “Time . . . Fortune . . . Life . . . Luce” by Walcott Gibbs “Nobody Better, Better Than Nobody” by Ian Frazier “The Mountains of Pi” by Richard Preston “Covering the Cops” by Calvin Trillin “Travels in Georgia” by John McPhee “The Man Who Walks on Air” by Calvin Tomkins “A House on Gramercy Park” by Geoffrey Hellman “How Do You Like It Now, Gentlemen?” by Lillian Ross “The Education of a Prince” by Alva Johnston “White Like Me” by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. “Wunderkind” by A.

Download or read book Pi The Next Generation written by David H. Bailey and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-19 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a compendium of 25 papers published since the 1970s dealing with pi and associated topics of mathematics and computer science. The collection begins with a Foreword by Bruce Berndt. Each contribution is preceded by a brief summary of its content as well as a short key word list indicating how the content relates to others in the collection. The volume includes articles on actual computations of pi, articles on mathematical questions related to pi (e.g., “Is pi normal?”), articles presenting new and often amazing techniques for computing digits of pi (e.g., the “BBP” algorithm for pi, which permits one to compute an arbitrary binary digit of pi without needing to compute any of the digits that came before), papers presenting important fundamental mathematical results relating to pi, and papers presenting new, high-tech techniques for analyzing pi (i.e., new graphical techniques that permit one to visually see if pi and other numbers are “normal”). This volume is a companion to Pi: A Source Book whose third edition released in 2004. The present collection begins with 2 papers from 1976, published by Eugene Salamin and Richard Brent, which describe “quadratically convergent” algorithms for pi and other basic mathematical functions, derived from some mathematical work of Gauss. Bailey and Borwein hold that these two papers constitute the beginning of the modern era of computational mathematics. This time period (1970s) also corresponds with the introduction of high-performance computer systems (supercomputers), which since that time have increased relentlessly in power, by approximately a factor of 100,000,000, advancing roughly at the same rate as Moore’s Law of semiconductor technology. This book may be of interest to a wide range of mathematical readers; some articles cover more advanced research questions suitable for active researchers in the field, but several are highly accessible to undergraduate mathematics students.
Download or read book Pi A Source Book written by J.L. Berggren and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete history of pi from the dawn of mathematical time to the present. The story of pi reflects the most seminal, the most serious and sometimes the silliest aspects of mathematics. Pi is one of the few concepts in mathematics whose mention evokes a response of recognition and interest in those not concerned professionally with the subject. Yet, despite this, no source book on pi has been published until now. One of the beauties of this subject is that it allows for the inclusion of very modern, yet still accessible, mathematics. Mathematicians and historians of mathematics will find this book indispensable, while teachers at every level from the seventh grade onward will find ample resources for anything from special topic courses to individual talks and special student projects. Following a selection of the mathematical literature over four millennia, the book covers a variety of historical writings on the cultural meaning and significance of the number, and the whole is rounded off by a number of treatments on pi that are fanciful, satirical and/or whimsical.
Download or read book Pi To One Million Decimal Places written by MR Red and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-01-15 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why would anybody want a book with the first one million digits of π?Great question.There is something undoubtedly seductive, intriguing and alluring about this rockstar of mathematical constants.No symbol has been so revered since Prince changed his name. What other infinite series (as far aw we know) has had a movie dedicated to you - that would be Darren Aronovsky's π, or songs for such revered artists as Kate Bush. Has even Marilyn Monroe received as much attention as Pi?Maybe you're wanting to memorise it.Fancy yourself as a bit of a Piphiologist? The current record, according to the Guinness Book is held by Rajveer Meena, an Indian man, who recited Pi to 70,000 decimal places over almost 10 hours. But that's only 7% of the pages here. There is a lot of room for a new challenger.And this is only the tip of the iceberg, Pi has been calculated to 50,000,000,000,000 digits. In a book, this would reach from the earth's surface to the moon (depending on font size and page thickness).Perhaps you're fascinated by π.And so you should be. But be careful your studies don't drive you insane, like Max Cohen in the π the movie.Or perhaps, you just want to measure the area of a circle really, really accurately.If, by the end of this book, you are sick to the back teeth of Pi. And feeling a little like you have just eaten one million pies, maybe Albert Eagle has the answer. He suggested moving from Pi to Tau - τ - representing π divided by 2. Thus saving the effort of having to mulitply π by 2. Imagine how Rajaveer Meena would feel!Whatever your reason, welcome. Enjoy the digits. Delight in the decimal places. Get a feel for the fraction. And get knees deep in the numbers.We now present - Pi to one million decimal places...P.S. Stay to the end of the book for some bonus π
