Ian Stewart 英国著名数学教育家，一直致力于推动数学知识走通俗易懂的道路。他在科学普及方面做出了巨大贡献，被授予英国皇家学会法拉第奖章，并于2001年加入了该 学会。他编著的科学书籍深受广大读者喜爱，包括《上帝掷骰子吗？》、《更平坦之地》、《给青年数学家的信》、《如何切蛋糕》、《数学万花筒：五光十色的数 学趣题和逸事》以及与特里•普拉切特合著的《碟形世界之科学》。目前任《新科学》期刊的数学顾问及华威大学数学系教授。

Ian Stewart explores the astonishing properties of numbers from 1 to10 to zero and infinity, including one figure that, if you wrote it out, would span the universe. He looks at every kind of number you can think of -- real, imaginary, rational, irrational, positive and negative -- along with several you might have thought you couldn't think of. He explains the insights of the ...(展开全部)

David Kepesh, an adventurous man of intelligence and feeling, tries to make his way to both pleasure and dignity through a world of sensual possibilities. Temptation comes to him in both its ordinary and spectacular forms, and the novel charts the history of his desire from the early years, when he is acceded to it totally, to the time when he attempts to domesticate his passio...(展开全部)

As a student in college, David Kepesh styles himself "a rake among scholars, a scholar among rakes." Little does he realize how prophetic this motto will be—or how damning. For as Philip Roth follows Kepesh from the domesticity of childhood into the vast wilderness of erotic possibility, from a ménage à trois in London to the throes of loneliness in New York, he creates a supre...(展开全部)

In this sensational chronicle, first published in 1958, Burgo Partridge (scion of Bloomsbury luminaries Ralph and Frances Partridge) coolly and with great erudition, tells the story of one of the most fascinating of social phenomena: the orgy.

Comprehensive account of constructive theory of first-order predicate calculus. Covers formal methods including algorithms and epi-theory, brief treatment of Markov's approach to algorithms, elementary facts about lattices and similar algebraic systems, more. Philosophical and reflective as well as mathematical. Graduate-level course. 1963 edition. Exercises.

Bard Ermentrout is Professor of Computational Biology and Professor of Mathematics at the University of Pittsburgh. David Terman is Professor of Mathematics at the Ohio State University.

This book applies methods from nonlinear dynamics to problems in neuroscience. It uses modern mathematical approaches to understand patterns of neuronal activity seen in experiments and models of neuronal behavior. The intended audience is researchers interested in applying mathematics to important problems in neuroscience, and neuroscientists who would like to understand how t...(展开全部)
