This time-honored study by one of the 20th century's foremost scholars and interpreters of the history and meaning of mathematics surveys the role of mathematics in civilization. It describes clearly the main principles, methods, and theories of mathematics that have survived from 4000 B.C. to 1945. 1945 edition.

The author of The Joy of Mathematics explores the mathematics of nature, literature and art. This fascinating look at the surprising ways mathematics influences the everyday world takes an abstract universe and anchors it to the "real" worlds of science, history and the arts in an intriguing way. Photos and line drawings.

Mathematical logic grew out of philosophical questions regarding the foundations of mathematics, but logic has now outgrown its philosophical roots, and has become an integral part of mathematics in general. This book is designed for students who plan to specialize in logic, as well as for those who are interested in the applications of logic to other areas of mathematics. Used...(展开全部)

This long-awaited book aims at a rigorous mathematical treatment of the theory of pricing and hedging of derivative securities by the principle of 'no arbitrage'. The first part presents a relatively elementary introduction, restricting itself to the case of finite probability spaces. The second part consists of an updated edition of seven original research papers by the author...(展开全部)

It should prove useful to first-year students in universities and colleges, and to advanced students in school contemplating further study in pure mathematics. It should also be of interest to a wider cla...(展开全部)

Thirty years ago the bond and option markets were dominated by traders who had learned their craft by experience. By the mid-1990s the old school grizzled traders had been replaced by a new breed of quantitative analysts, applying mathematics to the "art" of trading and making of it a science. A similar phenomenon is happening in poker. The grizzled "road gamblers" are being re...(展开全部)
