By any measure, the Pythagorean theorem is the most famous statement in all of mathematics. In this book, Eli Maor reveals the full story of this ubiquitous geometric theorem. Maor shows that the theorem, although attributed to Pythagoras, was known to the Babylonians more than a thousand years earlier. Pythagoras may have been the first to prove it, but his proof - if indeed h...(展开全部)

The fundamental theorem of algebra states that any complex polynomial must have a complex root. This book examines three pairs of proofs of the theorem from three different areas of mathematics: abstract algebra, complex analysis and topology. The first proof in each pair is fairly straightforward and depends only on what could be considered elementary mathematics. However, eac...(展开全部)

Milnor's "Lectures on the h-cobordism theorem" consists of a proof and applications of the h-cobordism theorem, an important technical result that, among other things, leads immediately to a proof of the Poincare conjecture for smooth manifolds of dimension >= 5. The theorem was originally proved by Smale in 1962 (part of the basis for his Fields Medal) using handlebody techniq...(展开全部)
