But will their knowledge of three-dimensional shapes, including cubes, cones, and pyramids, help our heroes navigate past these obstacles -- and make it ...

A book on mathematics and art for able middle and secondary pupils. Ysing reproducible sheets pupils learn how to draw fascinating shapes that could not exist in reality, as well as some exquisite three-dimensional shapes. ...

A popular account of the most famous scientific impossibilities and the attempts which have been made to solve them, so which is added a small budget of interesting paradoxes, illusions and marvels. The author presents a simple account of the problems which have occupied the attention of the human mind since the beginning of time in a method utilizing simple language and avoiding the use of mathematical formula. ...

A prominent and influential mathematician who has received numerous awards wrote this text to remedy a common failing in teaching algebra: the neglect of related instruction in geometry. Based on his many years of experience as an instructor the University of Chicago, author Irving Kaplansky presents a coherent overview of the correlation between these two branches of mathematics, illustrating his topics with an abundance of examples, exercises, ...

Written by a Nobel laureate and one of the twentieth century's most important logicians, this classic of science asks and answers a variety of basic questions about the intersection of philosophy and higher mathematics. Although Russell's conclusions are not the generally accepted modern solutions, his work offers exceptionally clear statements of important scientific problems and presents a logically coherent system. It is also a rich mine of ...

It is the author's intention to demonstrate the possibility of constructing a straight line equal to any given arc of a circle, and through this problem to construct a square, equal in arc to any circle & a circle equal in area to any square, with solutions of kindred geometrical problems. Many other geometrical problems are possible through these demonstrations. Illustrated. ...

This text, now in its second edition, presents the basic theory of ordinary differential equations and relates the topological theory used in differential equations to advanced applications in chemistry and biology. It provides new motivations for studying extension theorems and existence theorems, supplies real-world examples, gives an early introduction to the use of geometric methods and offers a novel treatment of the Sturm-Liouville ...

Lectures on hyperbolic geometry, dynamics in several complex variables, convex geometry, and volume estimation. ...

Geometry, Language and Strategy is a way of looking at game theory or strategic decision-making from a scientific perspective, using standard equations from the fields of engineering and physics. To better approximate reality, it extends game theory beyond the two-player set piece. The book begins where former game theory literature ends ? with multi-person games on a world stage. It encompasses many of the variables encountered in strategic ...

Anthony Lo Bello's "Gerard of Cremona's Translation of Book I of the Commentary of al-Nayrizi on Euclid's Elements of Geometry" is the first modern translation of Gerard of Cremona's (1114-1187) Latin version of al-Nayrizi's famous Arabic commentary. Lo Bello gives an introductory account of the 22 early extant Arabic manuscripts of the Elements, an annotated English translation of Gerard's translation of al-Nayrizi's commentary, and finally a ...
