‎HAHN ROBERT‎

‎The Metaphysics Of The Pythagorean Theorem: Thales Pythagoras Engineering Diagrams And The Construction Of The Cosmos Out Of Right Triangles‎

‎State University of New York Press Albany: 2017. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Explores Thales's speculative philosophy through a study of geometrical diagrams. Bringing together geometry and philosophy this book undertakes a strikingly original study of the origins and significance of the Pythagorean theorem. Thales whom Aristotle called the first philosopher and who was an older contemporary of Pythagoras posited the principle of a unity from which all things come and back into which they return upon dissolution. He held that all appearances are only alterations of this basic unity and there can be no change in the cosmos. Such an account requires some fundamental geometric figure out of which appearances are structured. Robert Hahn argues that Thales came to the conclusion that it was the right triangle: by recombination and repackaging all alterations can be explained from that figure. This idea is central to what the discovery of the Pythagorean theorem could have meant to Thales and Pythagoras in the sixth century BCE. With more than two hundred illustrations and figures Hahn provides a series of geometric proofs for this lost narrative tracing it from Thales to Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans who followed and then finally to Plato's Timaeus. Uncovering the philosophical motivation behind the discovery of the theorem Hahn's book will enrich the study of ancient philosophy and mathematics alike. Robert Hahn is Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Ancient Legacies Traveling Seminars to Greece Turkey and Egypt at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. His books include Archaeology and the Origins of Philosophy also published by SUNY Press. 288 pp 8 � x 11 13 black-and-white photographs 2 tables 236 figures.

‎BANNER ADRIAN‎

‎The Calculus Lifesaver: All The Tools You Need To Excel At Calculus‎

‎Princeton University Press Princeton: 2007. Softcover. Brand new book. The Calculus Lifesaver provides students with the essential tools they need not only to learn calculus but to excel at it. All of the material in this user-friendly study guide has been proven to get results. The book arose from Adrian Banner's popular calculus review course at Princeton University which he developed especially for students who are motivated to earn A's but get only average grades on exams. The complete course will be available for free on the Web in a series of videotaped lectures. This study guide works as a supplement to any single-variable calculus course or textbook. Coupled with a selection of exercises the book can also be used as a textbook in its own right. The style is informal non-intimidating and even entertaining without sacrificing comprehensiveness. The author elaborates standard course material with scores of detailed examples that treat the reader to an "inner monologue"--the train of thought students should be following in order to solve the problem--providing the necessary reasoning as well as the solution. The book's emphasis is on building problem-solving skills. Examples range from easy to difficult and illustrate the in-depth presentation of theory. The Calculus Lifesaver combines ease of use and readability with the depth of content and mathematical rigor of the best calculus textbooks. It is an indispensable volume for any student seeking to master calculus. Serves as a companion to any single-variable calculus textbook Informal entertaining and not intimidating Informative videos that follow the book--a full forty-eight hours of Banner's Princeton calculus-review course--is available at Adrian Banner lectures More than 475 examples ranging from easy to hard provide step-by-step reasoning Theorems and methods justified and connections made to actual practice Difficult topics such as improper integrals and infinite series covered in detail Tried and tested by students taking freshman calculus. "Banner's style is informal engaging and distinctly non-intimidating and he takes pains to not skip any steps in discussing a problem. Because of its unique approach The Calculus Lifesaver is a welcome addition to the arsenal of calculus teaching aids."--MAA Online "This rather lengthy book serves as an excellent resource as well as a text for a refresher course in single-variable calculus and as a study guide for anyone who needs or is required to know basic calculus concepts.Readers will find this book written for them as calculus is presented in a very casual conversational tone; certainly students who are not mathematics majors will benefit greatly."--J.T. Zerger Choice "Students who are having difficulty in calculus could use it as a resource in addition to their professor and teaching assistant."--Mathematics Teacher "I used Adrian Banner's The Calculus Lifesaver as the sole textbook for an intensive three-week summer Calculus I course for high-school students. I chose this book for several reasons among them its conversational expository style its wealth of worked-out examples and its price. This book is designed to supplement any standard calculus textbook thus my students will be able to use it again when they take later calculus courses. The students in my class came from diverse backgrounds ranging from those who had already seen much of the material to others who were struggling with basic algebra. They all uniformly praised the book for being one of the clearest mathematics texts they have ever read and because it reviews the required prerequisite material. The numerous worked-out examples are an ideal supplement to the lectures. The only difficulty in using this book as a primary text is the lack of additional exercises in the text. However there are so many sites and sources for calculus problems that this was not a problem. I would definitely use this book again."--Steven J. Miller Brown University Princeton University Press, Princeton: 2007 paperback‎

‎ALEXANDER AMIR‎

‎Duel At Dawn: Heroes Martyrs And The Rise Of Modern Mathematics‎

‎Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2010. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. In the fog of a Paris dawn in 1832 �variste Galois the twenty-year-old founder of modern algebra was shot and killed in a duel. That gunshot suggests Amir Alexander marked the end of one era in mathematics and the beginning of another. Arguing that not even the purest mathematics can be separated from its cultural background Alexander shows how popular stories about mathematicians are really morality tales about their craft as it relates to the world. In the eighteenth century Alexander says mathematicians were idealized as child-like eternally curious and uniquely suited to reveal the hidden harmonies of the world. But in the nineteenth century brilliant mathematicians like Galois became Romantic heroes like poets artists and musicians. The ideal mathematician was now an alienated loner driven to despondency by an uncomprehending world. A field that had been focused on the natural world now sought to create its own reality. Higher mathematics became a world unto itself-pure and governed solely by the laws of reason. In this strikingly original book that takes us from Paris to St. Petersburg Norway to Transylvania Alexander introduces us to national heroes and outcasts innocents swindlers and martyrs-all uncommonly gifted creators of modern mathematics. Amir Alexander is a historian and writer in Los Angeles. "Duel at Dawn is a delightful examination of the ways in which certain mathematicians have been made into mythical figures and how the tropes of those canonical treatments have changed over the years. It's a fascinating and original book."�Peter Galison author of Einstein's Clocks Poincare's Maps: Empires of Time "Does romantic mathematics exist Romantic mathematicians do. Duel at Dawn reveals how the great mathematicians of the Enlightenment used geometry to study the earth and heavens while their 19th century counterparts cherished internal beauty rather than practicality. Amir Alexander's original and convincing book opens a new path in the history of mathematics."�Jean-Michel Kantor co-author of Naming Infinity: A True Story of Religious Mysticism and Mathematical Creativity "Through the life stories of three of the period's most controversial figures Evariste Galois Niels Henrik Abel and Janos Bolyai Alexander reveals how their transgressive work changed mathematics and led to their lionization as Romantic heroes.Duel at Dawn neither talks over the head of its readers nor condescends but instead ensures that the work of these Romantic mathematicians is not cloaked in obscurity. Of particular note is his breakdown of Hungarian mathematician Janos Bolyai's discovery of non-Euclidian geometry. Alexander does not shy away from the intricacies of the theory nor the drawn out convoluted history that underlies it. He takes readers through the process step by step using plain language and clear diagrams to chart a course through the unknown. The larger narrative remains coherent without these more technical chapters thanks to Alexander's ability to weave much of the mathematics into the fascinating lives of his subjects but these in-depth studies of the math behind the men is very enriching. Mathematics need not be a scary daunting subject and Alexander does much to prove it."�Michael Patrick Brady Forbes.com "With tremendous attention to detail historian Alexander examines the lives of 18th and 19th century mathematicians finding much evidence to support his theory that the earlier geniuses of math like �variste Galois and Neils Henrik Abel cultivated an artistic temperament living short but fiery lives with little recognition while the next generation Jean le Rond d'Alembert Leonhard Euler pursued mathematics and life with purity and rigor becoming "successful men of affairs who were the bright stars of their era and lived to a ripe old age.".Alexander's personable history of mathematics over two centuries rounded out by a brief look at the present and future of the field is filled with biographical details that will interest devoted mathematicians and historians of math or science."�Publishers Weekly online "Duel at Dawn suggests how preconceptions about the trappings of genius have radiated from art to maths. But its greater value lies in peeling back the layers of hagiography from figures such as Galois to reveal gloriously complicated men."�Jascha Hoffman Nature "This is a fascinating and provocative book. It is also extremely readable: the accounts of Galois Abel Cauchy and Bolyai and their posthumous reputations are engaging and entertaining and along the way we meet many other fascinating personalities including Guglielmo Libri the aristocratic revolutionary mathematician and stealer of rare books. Alexander's arguments are illuminating."�Tony Mann Times Higher Education "Alexander sees Galois's death as a turning point in the history of modern mathematics a point at which math became less a study of nature than a purely abstract realm of its own uncontaminated by the external world. He skillfully tells the story of this change weaving it around the often tragic lives of the mathematicians most responsible for the change.A marvelous history."�Martin Gardner New Criterion "Because it is such an engrossing story it's easy to forget that the book's purpose also is to educate. Alexander conveys a general sense of who mathematicians were and how they fit in with society."�Leigh Arber Bookslut "Though the Romantic ethos has persisted for a surprisingly long time among mathematicians Alexander suspects that a cultural change is even now underway: reliance upon computers is replacing the mathematician-as-tragic-hero with the mathematician-as-skillful-nerd. Fascinating human faces peer out at the reader from behind seemingly sterile formulas."�Bryce Christensen Booklist "Alexander's sensitive and thoughtful presentation illuminates the inner geometry of mathematical experience leaving us to ponder whether its creators' parallel lives and works finally meet."�Peter Pesic Times Literary Supplement Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2010 hardcover‎

‎TOEPLITZ OTTO‎

‎The Calculus: A Genetic Approach‎

‎The University of Chicago Press Chicago: 1963. . Softcover. Good condition. Presents a radically different approach to the teaching of calculus. In sharp contrast to the methods of his time Otto Toeplitz did not teach calculus as a static system of techniques and facts to be memorized. Instead he drew on his knowledge of the history of mathematics and presented calculus as an organic evolution of ideas beginning with the discoveries of Greek scholars such as Archimedes Pythagoras and Euclid and developing through the centuries in the work of Kepler Galileo Fermat Newton and Leibniz. Through this unique approach Toeplitz summarized and elucidated the major mathematical advances that contributed to modern calculus. Translated into English from the German by Luise Langer.
