Inside Your Calculator: From Simple Programs to Significant Insights

Inside Your Calculator: From Simple Programs to Significant Insights by Gerald R. Rising
English | PDF | 2007 | 292 Pages | ISBN : 0470114010 | 7.1 MB

Uncover the mysteries that lie within your calculator
This remarkable book explores the simple internal calculator processesalgorithms and programsthat tell us, for example, that the cosine of 56? is 0.5591929035. Using carefully constructed diagrams and figures, the author effectively demonstrates how calculator keys compute powers, roots, logarithms, and trigonometry functions, while also providing insights into simple programming, the conversion between decimal and binary numeration, and perhaps most importantly, the structure of our numeration systems. Many people believe that the processes that drive calculators demand advanced mathematical concepts; however, this book proves that a minimal understanding of algebra and geometry is all that is needed to follow the step-by-step explanations of how scientific calculators work.

Vitushkin’s Conjecture for Removable Sets

Vitushkin’s Conjecture for Removable Sets by James J. Dudziak
English | PDF,EPUB | 2010 | 338 Pages | ISBN : 1441967087 | 10.6 MB

Vitushkin's conjecture, a special case of Painlevé's problem, states that a compact subset of the complex plane with finite linear Hausdorff measure is removable for bounded analytic functions if and only if it intersects every rectifiable curve in a set of zero arclength measure. Chapters 6-8 of this carefully written text present a major recent accomplishment of modern complex analysis, the affirmative resolution of this conjecture.

Elements of the History of Mathematics by Nicolas Bourbaki
English | PDF | 1994 | 299 Pages | ISBN : 0387193766 | 34.95 MB

This work gathers together, without substantial modification, the major­ ity of the historical Notes which have appeared to date in my Elements de M atMmatique. Only the flow has been made independent of the Elements to which these Notes were attached; they are therefore, in principle, accessible to every reader who possesses a sound classical mathematical background, of undergraduate standard.

The Life and Works of John Napier by Brian Rice
English | PDF | 2017 | 1009 Pages | ISBN : 3319532812 | 16.21 MB

For the first time, all five of John Napier’s works have been brought together in English in a single volume, making them more accessible than ever before. His four mathematical works were originally published in Latin: two in his lifetime (1550–1617), one shortly after he died, and one over 200 years later.
