Huygens and Barrow, Newton and Hooke: pioneers in by Vladimir I. Arnol'd

By Vladimir I. Arnol'd

В книге написанной на основе лекции для студентов, рассказывается о рождении современной математики и теоретической физики в трудах великих ученых XVII века. Некоторые идеи Ньютона и Гюйгенса опередили свое время на несколько столетий и получили развитие только в последние годы. Об этих идеях, включая несколько новых результатов, также расказано в книге.

The Calculus Diaries: How Math Can Help You Lose Weight, Win in Vegas, and Survive a Zombie Apocalypse

Kiss My Math meets A travel of the Calculus

Jennifer Ouellette by no means took math in university, as a rule simply because she-like such a lot people-assumed that she wouldn't desire it in genuine lifestyles. yet then the English-major-turned-award-winning-science-writer had a metamorphosis of middle and determined to revisit the equations and formulation that had haunted her for years. The Calculus Diaries is the joys and interesting account of her 12 months spent confronting her math phobia head on. With wit and verve, Ouellette indicates how she realized to use calculus to every thing from gasoline mileage to weight loss plan, from the rides at Disneyland to taking pictures craps in Vegas-proving that even the mathematically challenged can research the basics of the common language.

A Course in Multivariable Calculus and Analysis (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)

This self-contained textbook provides an intensive exposition of multivariable calculus. it may be seen as a sequel to the one-variable calculus textual content, A path in Calculus and actual research, released within the similar sequence. The emphasis is on correlating basic options and result of multivariable calculus with their opposite numbers in one-variable calculus.

Partial Differential Equations V: Asymptotic Methods for Partial Differential Equations (Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences) (v. 5)

The six articles during this EMS quantity supply an outline of a couple of modern ideas within the research of the asymptotic habit of partial differential equations. those ideas comprise the Maslov canonical operator, semiclassical asymptotics of ideas and eigenfunctions, habit of recommendations close to singular issues of other types, matching of asymptotic expansions with reference to a boundary layer, and methods in inhomogeneous media.

If f (x) is integrable on [a, b], then b b f (x) dx ≤ a |f (x)| dx. a The second corollary follows from the inequalities −|f (x)| ≤ f (x) ≤ |f (x)| and plays the role of the triangle inequality for integrals.

Underestimating an integral. By the quotient rule for differentiation, d dx 1 x x f (u) du 0 ≥0 as required. It is possible to obtain other inequalities involving integrals through an ad hoc consideration of areas bounded by various plane curves. This simple process, reminiscent of the integral test from calculus, is probably best described in an example. 12.
