The Facts on File Algebra Handbook (Science Handbook)The mathematics that we teach and learn today includes concepts and ideas that once were pondered only by the most brilliant men and women of ancient, and not so ancient, times. Numbers such as 1,000, for example, or two, or zero, were at one time considered very abstract ideas. There was a time when a quantity more than two or three was simply... | | Smart Graphics: 9th International Symposium, SG 2008, Rennes, France, August 27-29, 2008, ProceedingsFor centuries, artists and designers have been creating communicative graphics.
