Author: Britannica Educational Publishing
Publisher: Britannica Educational Publishing
ISBN: 1615302190
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Calculating and manipulating the unknown has been the enterprise of the field of algebra since its earliest inception in Babylon and ancient Egypt. Trigonometry draws on principles presented in algebra and uses angle measurements to elaborate on geometric calculations. Essential to further mathematical and scientific study, both algebra and trigonometry provide crucial tools in managing variables and understanding the relationships between them. This volume presents the fundamentals of these fascinating areas of mathematics while chronicling their respective histories.

The Britannica Guide to Analysis and Calculus
Author: Britannica Educational Publishing
Publisher: Britannica Educational Publishing
ISBN: 1615302204
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The dynamism of the natural world means that it is constantly changing, sometimes rapidly, sometimes gradually. By mathematically interpreting the continuous change that characterizes so many natural processes, analysis and calculus have become indispensable to bridging the divide between mathematics and the sciences. This comprehensive volume examines the key concepts of calculus, providing students with a robust understanding of integration and differentiation. Biographies of important figures will leave readers with an increased appreciation for the sometimes competing theories that informed the early history of the field.

Euclid
Author: Josette Campbell
Publisher: The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc
ISBN: 1499461291
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 115
Book Description
Euclid, a Greek mathematician, flourished around 300 BCE. It was he who shaped geometry into what it is today. As a result, he became known as the father of geometry. Euclid founded his own school in Alexandria, Egypt, and gained a reputation as an exceptional geometry teacher. The Elements, his thirteen-volume treatise on mathematics and geometry, was considered to be one of the most influential mathematical works in history. Readers consider some of the definitions and postulates from this great work. They also learn about ancient Greek civilization and the renowned Greek mathematicians and philosophers who influenced Euclid's thinking.

Arithmetic
Author: Britannica Educational Publishing
Publisher: Britannica Educational Publishing
ISBN: 1622755197
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
Arithmetic factors into our lives on a daily basis, so it's hard to imagine a world without the six basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, raising to powers, and finding roots. Readers will get a solid overview of arithmetic, while offering useful examples of how they are used in routine activities, such as social media applications. It reinforces Common Core math standards, including understanding basic math concepts and how they apply to students' daily lives and challenges. A history of arithmetic helps provide a contextual framework for the course of its development and the practical needs that drove its use.

Central Configurations, Periodic Orbits, and Hamiltonian Systems
Author: Jaume Llibre
Publisher: Birkhäuser
ISBN: 3034809336
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The notes of this book originate from three series of lectures given at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM) in Barcelona. The first one is dedicated to the study of periodic solutions of autonomous differential systems in Rn via the Averaging Theory and was delivered by Jaume Llibre. The second one, given by Richard Moeckel, focusses on methods for studying Central Configurations. The last one, by Carles Simó, describes the main mechanisms leading to a fairly global description of the dynamics in conservative systems. The book is directed towards graduate students and researchers interested in dynamical systems, in particular in the conservative case, and aims at facilitating the understanding of dynamics of specific models. The results presented and the tools introduced in this book include a large range of applications.
