The Mind of the Mathematician

Johns Hopkins, 2007

What makes mathematicians tick? How do their minds process formulas and concepts that, for most of the rest of the world's population, remain mysterious and beyond comprehension? Is there a connection between mathematical creativity and mental illness?

In The Mind of the Mathematician, internationally famous mathematician Ioan James and...

$Real-Life Math: Everyday Use of Mathematical Concepts$

Real-Life Math: Everyday Use of Mathematical Concepts

Greenwood Press, 2002

"What does this have to do with real life?" is a question that plagues mathematics teachers across America, as students are confronted with abstract topics in their high school mathematics courses. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics emphasizes the importance of making real world connections in teaching mathematics so that...

Fourier Series and Orthogonal Polynomials (Dover Books on Mathematics)

Dover Publications, 2004

This text illustrates the fundamental simplicity of the properties of orthogonal functions and their developments in related series. Begins with a definition and explanation of the elements of Fourier series, and examines Legendre polynomials and Bessel functions. Also includes Pearson frequency functions and chapters on orthogonal,...

Mathematics of Shape Description: A Morphological Approach to Image Processing and Computer Graphics

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

Image processing problems are often not well defined because real images are contaminated with noise and other uncertain factors. In Mathematics of Shape Description, the authors take a mathematical approach to address these problems using the morphological and set-theoretic approach to image processing and computer graphics by presenting...

Google SketchUp Cookbook: Practical Recipes and Essential Techniques

O'Reilly, 2009

As the first book for intermediate and advanced users of Google SketchUp, this Cookbook goes beyond the basics to explore the complex features and tools that design professionals use. You'll get numerous step-by-step tutorials for solving common (and not so common) design problems, with detailed color graphics to guide your way, and discussions...

$Elements of X-Ray Diffraction (3rd Edition)$

Elements of X-Ray Diffraction (3rd Edition)

Prentice Hall, 2001

This edition appears over twenty years after the Second Edition was released. That the Second Edition, without revision, continued as a popular materials text and as a reference book is a tribute to Professor Cullity's clarity and thoroughness.

Instrumentation and techniques have changed considerably, however, in the intervening twenty years,...

Recreations in the Theory of Numbers

Dover Publications, 1964

WHILE the author was a student, an enthusiastic mathematics professor recommended to the class a book entitled Mathematical Recreations and Essays, by W. W. R. Ball. The students dutifully made a note of the title and most of them no doubt promptly forgot about it. Many years later when the book was mentioned to several of the author's own classes,...

SuperFractals

Cambridge University Press, 2006

SuperFractals is the long-awaited successor to Fractals Everywhere, in which the power and beauty of Iterated Function Systems were introduced and applied to producing startling and original images that reflect complex structures found for example in nature. This provoked the question of whether there is a deeper connection between topology,...
