Download or read book Surreal Numbers written by Donald Ervin Knuth and published by Addison-Wesley Professional. This book was released on 1974 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly 30 years ago, John Horton Conway introduced a new way to construct numbers. Donald E. Knuth, in appreciation of this revolutionary system, took a week off from work on The Art of Computer Programming to write an introduction to Conway's method. Never content with the ordinary, Knuth wrote this introduction as a work of fiction--a novelette. If not a steamy romance, the book nonetheless shows how a young couple turned on to pure mathematics and found total happiness. The book's primary aim, Knuth explains in a postscript, is not so much to teach Conway's theory as "to teach how one might go about developing such a theory." He continues: "Therefore, as the two characters in this book gradually explore and build up Conway's number system, I have recorded their false starts and frustrations as well as their good ideas. I wanted to give a reasonably faithful portrayal of the important principles, techniques, joys, passions, and philosophy of mathematics, so I wrote the story as I was actually doing the research myself."... It is an astonishing feat of legerdemain. An empty hat rests on a table made of a few axioms of standard set theory. Conway waves two simple rules in the air, then reaches into almost nothing and pulls out an infinitely rich tapestry of numbers that form a real and closed field. Every real number is surrounded by a host of new numbers that lie closer to it than any other "real" value does. The system is truly "surreal." quoted from Martin Gardner, Mathematical Magic Show, pp. 16--19 Surreal Numbers, now in its 13th printing, will appeal to anyone who might enjoy an engaging dialogue on abstract mathematical ideas, and who might wish to experience how new mathematics is created. 0201038129B04062001

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supplementary Work in Arithmetic, Vol. 1: Lines Too often the study of lines (long Measure) consists in simply learmng the table. Thousands have learned that 12 inches make one foot, 3 feet make one yard, 5% yards make one rod, without ever having seen anything a rod long, knowing it to be such. The writer speaks advisedly, he having been so informed by teachers from nearly every State in the Union. In fact, it is at the earnest request of these teachers that he sends out this Supplementary Work in Arithmetic, which, at best, is only a suggestion of what may be done in this intensely interesting subject. The first three years in school may be so improved as to make it possible for the children to judge distances and the lengths of objects from an inch to a chain long with almost absolute accuracy.

Download or read book Mesopotamian Mathematics 2100 1600 BC written by Eleanor Robson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematics was integral to Mesopotamian scribal culture: indeed, writing was invented towards the end of the fourth millennium B.C. for the express purpose of recording numericalatical information. The main body of this book is a mathematical and philological discussion of the two hundred technical constants, or "coefficients," found in early second millennium mathematics. Their names and mathematical functions are established, leading to improved interpretations of several large mathematical topics. The origins of many coefficients--and much of the more practical mathematics--are traced to late third millennium accounting and quantity surveying practices. Finally, the coefficients are used to examine some aspects of mathematics education in early Mesopotamia.
Download or read book Nine Chapters on Mathematical Modernity written by Andrea Bréard and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book addresses for the first time the dynamics associated with the modernization of mathematics in China from the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century from a transcultural global historical perspective. Rather than depict the transformations of mathematical knowledge in terms of a process of westernization, the book analyzes the complex interactions between different scientific communities and the ways in which the past, modernity, language, and mathematics were negotiated in a global context. In each chapter, Andrea Bréard provides vivid portraits of a series of go-betweens (such as translators, educators, or state statisticians) based on a vast array of translated primary sources hitherto unavailable to a non-Chinese readership. They not only illustrate how Chinese scholars mediated between new mathematical objects and discursive modes, but also how they instrumentalized their autochthonous scientific roots in specific political and intellectual contexts. While sometimes technical in style, the book addresses all readers who are interested in the global and cultural history of science and the complexities involved in the making of universal mathematics. “While the pursuit of modernity is in the title, entanglement is of as much interest. Using the famous ‘Nine Chapters’ as a framework, Bréard considers a wide range of that entanglement from divination to data management. Bréard’s analysis and thought-provoking insights show once again how much we can learn when two cultures intersect. A fascinating read!” (John Day, Boston University).
