Book excerpt: Bringing to life the joys and difficulties of mathematics this book is a must read for anyone with a love of puzzles, a head for figures or who is considering further study of mathematics. On the Study and Difficulties of Mathematics is a book written by accomplished mathematician Augustus De Morgan. Now republished by Forgotten Books, De Morgan discusses many different branches of the subject in some detail. He doesn't shy away from complexity but is always entertaining. One purpose of De Morgan's book is to serve as a guide for students of mathematics in selecting the most appropriate course of study as well as to identify the most challenging mental concepts a devoted learner will face. "No person commences the study of mathematics without soon discovering that it is of a very different nature from those to which he has been accustomed," states De Morgan in his introduction. The book is divided into chapters, each of which is devoted to a different mathematical concept. From the elementary rules of arithmetic, to the study of algebra, to geometrical reasoning, De Morgan touches on all of the concepts a math learner must master in order to find success in the field. While a brilliant mathematician in his own right, De Morgan's greatest skill may have been as a teacher. On the Study and Difficulties of Mathematics is a well written treatise that is concise in its explanations but broad in its scope while remaining interesting even for the layman. On the Study and Difficulties of Mathematics is an exceptional book. Serious students of mathematics would be wise to read De Morgan's work and will certainly be better mathematicians for it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address on the Study of Mathematics N ow, in mathematical reasoning there is none of this doubt. Hence, its superiority as a means of men tal discipline over moral reasoning. We here begin with axioms self-evident to every intellect, and arrive at the most important conclusions, and all along the whole ascent, not a doubt springs up in the mind lest the outset may have been wrong. We rise by a series of equations or ratios, which follow each other necessarily, to the sublime discoveries which occupied the attention of a Descartes or a Newton. We begin by measuring the lot on which we build our cottage and ascend till we seat ourselves among the stars and contemplate the mechanism of the heavens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Course of Pure Mathematics I have endeavoured to make Chapter IV one of the principal features of the book. The notion of a limit is one that has always presented grave difficulties to mathematical students even of great ability. It has been my good fortune during the last eight or nine years to have a share in the teaching of a good many of the ablest candidates for the Mathematical Tripos; and it is very rarely indeed that I have encountered a pupil who could face the simplest problem involving the ideas of infinity, limit, or continuity, with a vestige of the confidence with which he would deal with questions of a different character and of far greater intrinsic difficulty. I have indeed in an examination asked a dozen candidates, including several future Senior Wranglers, to sum the series 1 +m+m2+ and not received a single answer that was not practically worthless - and this from men quite capable of solving difficult problems connected with the curvature and torsion of twisted curves. I cannot believe that this is due solely to the nature of the subject. There are difficulties in these ideas, no doubt: but they are not so great as many other difficulties inherent in mathematics that every young mathematician completely overcomes. The fault is not that of the subject or of the student, but of the text-book and the teacher. It is not enough for the latter, if he wishes to drive sound ideas on these points well into the mind of his pupils.

Equally, this is a must-have for individuals interested in solving difficult and challenging problems. Each chapter starts with typical examples illustrating the central concepts and is followed by a number of carefully selected problems and their solutions. Most of the solutions are complete, but some merely point to the road leading to the final solution. In addition to being a valuable resource of mathematical problems and solution strategies, this is the most complete training book on the market.
Download or read book Historical Introduction to Mathematical Literature Classic Reprint written by G. A. Miller and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Introduction to Mathematical Literature The mathematical literature is unusually rich in con tent and is composed of a great variety of elements. It contains many results that would appeal to every one if they were presented in the proper form and at the proper time. One of the difficult problems which present themselves to those interested in the diffusion of mathematical knowledge is how to establish a proper correspondence between the subject matter and the in dividual. This problem is especially serious in view of the fact that misfits along this line are often disastrous. Hence it is very desirable that the mathematical stu dent be led to points from which he can overlook domains of considerable extent in order that he may be able to form a somewhat independent judgment as regards the regions which he might like to examine more closely. The main object of the present work is to guide the reader to such points of observation. These observation points should also appeal to those who are interested in general educational questions but do not have time to enter upon a study of the abstruse developments in this particular field.

Download or read book History of Modern Mathematics Classic Reprint written by David Eugene Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Modern Mathematics The volume called Higher Mathematics, the first edition of which was published in 1896, contained eleven chapters by eleven authors, each chapter being independent of the others, but all supposing the reader to have at least a mathematical training equivalent to that given in classical and engineering colleges. The publication of that volume is now discontinued and the chapters are issued in separate form. In these reissues it will generally be found that the monographs are enlarged by additional articles or appendices which either amplify the former presentation or record recent advances. This plan of publication has been arranged in order to meet the demand of teachers and the convenience of classes, but it is also thought that it may prove advantageous to readers in special lines of mathematical literature. It is the intention of the publishers and editors to add other monographs to the series from time to time, if the call for the same seems to warrant it. Among the topics which are under consideration are those of elliptic functions, the theory of num bers, the group theory, the calculus Of variations, and non Euclidean geometry; possibly also monographs on branches of astronomy, mechanics, and mathematical physics may be included. It is the hope of the editors that this form of publication may tend to promote mathematical study and research over a wider field than that which the former volume has occupied.

Download or read book Matrices and Graphs Stability Problems in Mathematical Ecology written by D. Logofet and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intuitive ideas of stability in dynamics of a biological population, community, or ecosystem can be formalized in the framework of corresponding mathematical models. These are often represented by systems of ordinary differential equations or difference equations. Matrices and Graphs covers achievements in the field using concepts from matrix theory and graph theory. The book effectively surveys applications of mathematical results pertinent to issues of theoretical and applied ecology. The only mathematical prerequisite for using Matrices and Graphs is a working knowledge of linear algebra and matrices. The book is ideal for biomathematicians, ecologists, and applied mathematicians doing research on dynamic behavior of model populations and communities consisting of multi-component systems. It will also be valuable as a text for a graduate-level topics course in applied math or mathematical ecology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary Course of Mathematics: Comprising Arithmetic, Algebra and Euclid The main purpose of this text-book is to provide in a single and inexpensive volume a short course of Arithmetic, Algebra, and Euclid specially adapted to the needs of a large and increasing class of students: namely, those who after leaving school desire to continue their study of Elementary Mathe maties, partly with help derived from evening classes, and partly by means of private work at home. The majority of such students work under somewhat difficult conditions. They have already received a certain training in Arithmetic, but their mathematical education has gone no further; and the problem which meets them is how - with very limited instruction and leisure - to maintain what they have already learned, and at the same time to acquire from the beginning a sound knowledge of Elementary Algebra and Geometry. What is needed by such learners is first of all a course of varied and graduated Exercises in Arithmetic; then a careful exposition of the two new subjects, Algebra and Euclid, arranged and treated in such a way as to smooth the path of a beginner, and to encourage him to overcome difficulties by relying on his own industry and intelligence. These considerations have been kept in View in compiling the following pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Calculus of Finite Differences As such Treatises as the present are in close connexion with the course of Mathematical Study at the University Of Cambridge, there is considerable difficulty in deciding the question how far they should aim at being exhaustive. I have held it best not to insert investigations that involve complicated analysis unless they possess great suggestiveness or are the bases Of important developments of the subject. Under the present system the premium on wide superficial reading is so great that such investigations, if inserted.
