Download or read book Foundations and Fundamental Concepts of Mathematics written by Howard Whitley Eves and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third edition of a popular, well-received text offers undergraduates an opportunity to obtain an overview of the historical roots and the evolution of several areas of mathematics. The selection of topics conveys not only their role in this historical development of mathematics but also their value as bases for understanding the changing nature of mathematics. Among the topics covered in this wide-ranging text are: mathematics before Euclid, Euclid's Elements, non-Euclidean geometry, algebraic structure, formal axiomatics, the real numbers system, sets, logic and philosophy and more. The emphasis on axiomatic procedures provides important background for studying and applying more advanced topics, while the inclusion of the historical roots of both algebra and geometry provides essential information for prospective teachers of school mathematics. The readable style and sets of challenging exercises from the popular earlier editions have been continued and extended in the present edition, making this a very welcome and useful version of a classic treatment of the foundations of mathematics. "A truly satisfying book." — Dr. Bruce E. Meserve, Professor Emeritus, University of Vermont.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamental Concepts of Mathematics, 2nd Edition provides an account of some basic concepts in modern mathematics. The book is primarily intended for mathematics teachers and lay people who wants to improve their skills in mathematics. Among the concepts and problems presented in the book include the determination of which integral polynomials have integral solutions; sentence logic and informal set theory; and why four colors is enough to color a map. Unlike in the first edition, the second edition provides detailed solutions to exercises contained in the text. Mathematics teachers and people who want to gain a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts of mathematics will find this book a good reference.
Download or read book Fundamentals of Mathematics written by Denny Burzynski and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Mathematics is a work text that covers the traditional study in a modern prealgebra course, as well as the topics of estimation, elementary analytic geometry, and introductory algebra. It is intended for students who: have had previous courses in prealgebra wish to meet the prerequisites of higher level courses such as elementary algebra need to review fundamental mathematical concenpts and techniques This text will help the student devlop the insight and intuition necessary to master arithmetic techniques and manipulative skills. It was written with the following main objectives: to provide the student with an understandable and usable source of information to provide the student with the maximum oppurtinity to see that arithmetic concepts and techniques are logically based to instill in the student the understanding and intuitive skills necessary to know how and when to use particular arithmetic concepts in subsequent material cources and nonclassroom situations to give the students the ability to correctly interpret arithmetically obtained results We have tried to meet these objects by presenting material dynamically much the way an instructure might present the material visually in a classroom. (See the development of the concept of addition and subtraction of fractions in section 5.3 for examples) Intuition and understanding are some of the keys to creative thinking, we belive that the material presented in this text will help students realize that mathematics is a creative subject.

Download or read book Fundamental Concepts of Mathematics written by Uwe Storch and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-10-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides essential foundations of mathematics, covering set theory, algebra, the theory of real and complex numbers, and topology. It serves as the basis for further exploration of mathematics. Not only are the necessary concepts introduced, but also essential – including deeper – statements are proven. The material is illustrated and supplemented by unusual examples and diverse exercises. The book is suitable for self-study, but primarily designed as companion reading from the beginning for a study in mathematics, physics, and computer science. Its coherent approach makes it highly readable and comparatively easy to understand. This book is a translation of the original German edition ‘Grundkonzepte der Mathematik’ by Uwe Storch and Hartmut Wiebe, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH, DE in 2017. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content (by the author Hartmut Wiebe only, as Uwe Storch is no longer with us).
Download or read book The Foundations of Mathematics written by Thomas Q. Sibley and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-07 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Foundations of Mathematics provides a careful introduction to proofs in mathematics, along with basic concepts of logic, set theory and other broadly used areas of mathematics. The concepts are introduced in a pedagogically effective manner without compromising mathematical accuracy and completeness. Thus, in Part I students explore concepts before they use them in proofs. The exercises range from reading comprehension questions and many standard exercises to proving more challenging statements, formulating conjectures and critiquing a variety of false and questionable proofs. The discussion of metamathematics, including Gödel’s Theorems, and philosophy of mathematics provides an unusual and valuable addition compared to other similar texts
