Mathematics & Mathematics Education: Searching for Common Ground
Michael N. Fried, Tommy Dreyfus
- Springer
- 29 Novembre 2013
- 9789400774735
This book is the fruit of a symposium in honor of Ted Eisenberg concerning the growing divide between the mathematics community and the mathematics education community, a divide that is clearly unhealthy for both. The work confronts this disturbing gap by considering the nature of the relationship between mathematics education and mathematics, and by examining areas of commonality as well as disagreement. It seeks to provide insight into the mutual benefit both stand to gain by building bridges based on the natural bonds between them.

Alle Ingenieure bentigen sie - kaum einer mag sie eigentlich: die Mathematik. Aber Ingenieursmathematik muss nicht schwer verständlich sein, sie kann auch Spaß machen. J. Michael Fried vermittelt Ihnen in diesem Buch die Grundlagen der Mathematik, die alle Ingenieure in den ersten Semestern bentigen. Los geht's mit der Linearen Algebra: Lernen Sie, wie Sie mit Vektoren und Matrizen rechnen, lineare Gleichungssysteme lsen und Eigenwerte sowie Eigenvektoren berechnen. Außerdem führt der Autor Sie in die Geheimnisse der eindimensionalen Analysis ein und erklärt alles Wissenswerte zu Folgen und Grenzwerten, zur Differenzial- und zur Integralrechnung. Anhand von vielen Tipps und Praxisbeispielen lernen Sie, wo die erworbenen Kenntnisse in den Ingenieurwissenschaften angewendet werden. Mit Übungsaufgaben und ausführlichen Lsungen knnen Sie Ihr Wissen auch gleich noch überprüfen und festigen. Dieses Buch richtet sich an Studierende aller Ingenieurwissenschaften - sowohl zum Lernen als auch zum Nachschlagen.

Edmond Halley's Reconstruction of the Lost Book of Apollonius's Conics
Michael N. Fried
- Springer
- 3 Septembre 2011
- 9781461401469
Apollonius's Conics was one of the greatest works of advanced mathematics in antiquity. The work comprised eight books, of which four have come down to us in their original Greek and three in Arabic. By the time the Arabic translations were produced, the eighth book had already been lost. In 1710, Edmond Halley, then Savilian Professor of Geometry at Oxford, produced an edition of the Greek text of the Conics of Books I-IV, a translation into Latin from the Arabic versions of Books V-VII, and a reconstruction of Book VIII. The present work provides the first complete English translation of Halley's reconstruction of Book VIII with supplementary notes on the text. It also contains 1) an introduction discussing aspects of Apollonius's Conics 2) an investigation of Edmond Halley's understanding of the nature of his venture into ancient mathematics, and 3) an appendices giving a brief account of Apollonius's approach to conic sections and his mathematical techniques.This book will be of interest to students and researchers interested in the history of ancient Greek mathematics and mathematics in the early modern period.

Auch wenn Mathematik nicht gerade Ihr Lieblingsfach ist, zu einem Ingenieursstudium gehrt sie einfach mit dazu. Manchmal ist es hier auch nicht einfach mit den Grundlagen getan und Sie müssen sich etwas komplexeren Gebieten der Mathematik nähern. Aber keine Sorge: J. Michael Fried erklärt Ihnen in diesem Band, was Sie über mehrdimensionale Analysis, Vektoranalysis und Co. wissen sollten. Auch Differentialgleichungen, von einfachen über hhere bis zu Systemen linearer Differentialgleichungen, kommen hier nicht zu kurz. So ist dieses Buch der richtige Begleiter für Sie, wenn Sie in der Ingenieursmathematik voranschreiten wollen.

Field Arithmetic explores Diophantine fields through their absolute Galois groups. This largely self-contained treatment starts with techniques from algebraic geometry, number theory, and profinite groups. Graduate students can effectively learn generalizations of finite field ideas. We use Haar measure on the absolute Galois group to replace counting arguments. New Chebotarev density variants interpret diophantine properties. Here we have the only complete treatment of Galois stratifications, used by Denef and Loeser, et al, to study Chow motives of Diophantine statements.
Progress from the first edition starts by characterizing the finite-field like P(seudo)A(lgebraically)C(losed) fields. We once believed PAC fields were rare. Now we know they include valuable Galois extensions of the rationals that present its absolute Galois group through known groups. PAC fields have projective absolute Galois group. Those that are Hilbertian are characterized by this group being pro-free. These last decade results are tools for studying fields by their relation to those with projective absolute group. There are still mysterious problems to guide a new generation: Is the solvable closure of the rationals PAC; and do projective Hilbertian fields have pro-free absolute Galois group (includes Shafarevich's conjecture)?
