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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a linguistic ethnographic account of secondary schooling in Umbria, Italy, examining the complex intersection of language, socioeconomic class, social persona, and school choice to provide a holistic portrait of the situatedness of student “success.” The book explores the everyday sociolinguistic practices at the three types of Italian secondary schools in Umbria—the lyceum, the technical institute, and the vocational school—and the language ideologies and de facto language policies associated with them. An analysis of narrative, interviews, and classroom discourse unpacks the ways in which students are socialized by both peers and teachers into specific academic discourses and specialized forms of knowledge throughout their school careers. In those close analyses of the micro-interactional contexts of three classrooms, drawing on a corpus of naturally occurring classroom discourse, the volume illuminates the ways in which certain forms of talk are exalted while others policed and how students either submit to or resist the social labels ascribed to them. This account contributes new insights into the ways in which educational institutions are constructed and maintained via talk. This book will be of interest to students and scholars interested in educational linguistics, linguistic anthropology, classroom discourse, streamed-tracked education systems, and education policy.

Download or read book From Alexandria Through Baghdad written by Nathan Sidoli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book honors the career of historian of mathematics J.L. Berggren, his scholarship, and service to the broader community. The first part, of value to scholars, graduate students, and interested readers, is a survey of scholarship in the mathematical sciences in ancient Greece and medieval Islam. It consists of six articles (three by Berggren himself) covering research from the middle of the 20th century to the present. The remainder of the book contains studies by eminent scholars of the ancient and medieval mathematical sciences. They serve both as examples of the breadth of current approaches and topics, and as tributes to Berggren's interests by his friends and colleagues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Food Rheology and Its Applications: Development in Food Rheology, Second Edition presents the latest advances in the measurement and application of food rheology, one of the most important tools for food companies when characterizing ingredients and final products, and a predictor of product performance and consumer acceptance. This second edition provides coverage of new rheological measurement techniques, including ultrasonic measurements of rheological properties of food and NMR approach, and precision in data handling, including coverage of mathematical modeling of rheological properties. As the range of food products has also broadened as a result of consumer demands and preference, this second edition includes a series of new chapters on dairy and plant-based foods. The amalgamation between food texture and sensory attributes will also be addressed. In addition, coverage of the correlation between rheological behavior and modeling of the fluid in a human stomach and food digestion will be assessed. A special focus has given on rheology of gel systems, including, food hydrogels, bigel and organogels. Written for food scientists, food technologists, sensory scientists, and others working in academia and industry, Advances in Food Rheology and Its Applications: Development in Food Rheology, Second Edition will be a welcomed and updated reference. Considers the impact of artificial intelligence and machine vision on rheological characterization and process control Presents ultrasonic measurements of rheological properties of food and NMR approach, and precision in data handling Covers thermodynamic approach of rheology and interfacial rheology Explains various gel systems rheology, including bogels and organogo gels

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "No one can do it for you, but you don't have to do it alone." Big names in Italian comics gathered in a unique and powerful anthology to say enough to gender-based violence. Ellie, Sabrina, Rose, Laura, Liz, Camilla. Their stories touch us deeply because they happened and they happen to us too, to our sisters, friends, neighbors. Sometimes we don't even realize it, we minimize it, we don't have the tools to understand, react, talk about it out loud. And that's exactly why this book was born: to break the silence and fill it in our stories and our words, to ensure that situations like this never happen again. Gender-based violence takes many forms, from subtle manipulation to outright physical abuse, and it knows no boundaries. Loud: Stories to Make Your Voice Heard is a powerful anthology curated by a feminist collective of Italian comics creators working in solidarity to unite, support, and empower others in the fight against toxic masculinity, both in the comics industry and beyond.

Download or read book Pi A Source Book written by J.L. Berggren and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-01-13 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents the history of pi from the dawn of mathematical time to the present. One of the beauties of the literature on pi is that it allows for the inclusion of very modern, yet accessible, mathematics. The articles on pi collected herein fall into various classes. First and foremost there is a selection from the mathematical and computational literature of four millennia. There is also a variety of historical studies on the cultural significance of the number. Additionally, there is a selection of pieces that are anecdotal, fanciful, or simply amusing. For this new edition, the authors have updated the original material while adding new material of historical and cultural interest. There is a substantial exposition of the recent history of the computation of digits of pi, a discussion of the normality of the distribution of the digits, and new translations of works by Viete and Huygen.
