Augustus De Morgan, Polymath - New Perspectives On His Life And Legacy

by Karen Attar

~~7,49€~~ 6,74€ 10% OFF

 When Augustus De Morgan died in 1871, he was described as ‘one of the profoundest mathematicians in the United Kingdom’ and even as ‘the greatest of our mathematicians’. But he was far more than just a mathematician. Because much of his voluminous written output on various subjects was scattered throughout journals and encyclopaedias, the breadth of his interests and contributions has been underappreciated by historians. Now, renewed interest in De Morgan’s life and work has coincided with the digitization of his extensive library, revealing the extent to which he pioneered and influenced the development of not merely mathematics but also logic, astronomy, the history of mathematics, education, and bibliography. This edited collection celebrates De Morgan as a polymath. Drawing together multiple elements of his activity from a range of publications and archives, its contributors re-assess his academic work, his place in his intellectual environment, and his legacy. The result offers new insight into De Morgan himself as well as the wider circles in which he moved, including his family life.

Landscapes Of Investigation - Contributions To Critical Mathematics Education

by Miriam Godoy Penteado

6,99€

 Creating landscapes of investigation is a primary concern of critical mathematics education. It enables us to organise educational processes so that students and teachers are able to get involved in explorations guided by dialogical interactions. It attempts to address explicit or implicit forms of social injustice by means of mathematics, and also to promote a critical conception of mathematics, challenging the assumption that the subject represents objectivity and neutrality. Landscapes of Investigation provides many illustrations of how this can be done in primary, secondary, and university education. It also illustrates how exploring landscapes of investigation can contribute to mathematics teacher education programmes. This edited volume is the result of a collaboration established through the Colloquium in Research in Critical Mathematics Education, which took place in 2016, 2018, and 2019 in Brazil. Its twenty-eight contributors are young researchers from Brazil, Chile, Colombia, India, Mexico and the USA, who are dedicated to the further development of critical mathematics education. Organised in eighteen chapters, the volume presents examples of engaging students from a diversity of social and economic backgrounds, age ranges, and abilities across different countries. The chapters present original findings on the social aspects of all levels of mathematics education. Landscapes of Investigation is of particular relevance to those with an interest in the potential of mathematics education to challenge social injustices.

Creating Number - How Humans Developed Natural, Complex, Real And Infinite Numbers

by John Newsome Crossley

~~82,59€~~ 74,33€ 10% OFF

 This book explores one of humanity's most profound intellectual journeys — the creation of numbers themselves. Moving beyond a simple chronological history of mathematics, this book examines the ideas and cultural contexts that gave rise to new kinds of numbers, from the earliest counting systems to ideas of infinitely small and infinitely large numbers. On the way, it looks at how revolutionary kinds of numbers became accepted and indeed essential.Drawing on sources from mathematics, archaeology, linguistics, and psychology, the author traces how different civilizations — including ancient Greece, China, and the Arab world — shaped the evolution of numerical thought. Readers are guided to original texts (many newly translated and linked to online versions) to see how ideas of numbers were understood in their own time and how they continue to develop.An extensively revised and expanded version of the author's earlier The Emergence of Number (1987), this edition reflects profound changes in the perception of number concepts in the last 150 years. It offers two new chapters on infinite numbers and infinitesimals, along with broader cross-cultural perspectives. Rich in historical insight yet accessible to modern readers, this book illuminates how human creativity and abstraction transformed counting into the vast landscape of modern mathematics.Contents: <ul><li>Preface</li><li>Acknowledgments</li><li>About the Author</li><li>List of Figures</li><li>Prologue</li><li>The Natural Numbers:<ul><li>Genesis</li><li>Historic Times</li></ul></li><li>Complex Numbers:<ul><li>Latency</li><li>Revelation</li></ul></li><li>Real Numbers:<ul><li>Measuring</li><li>The Totality of Real Numbers</li></ul></li><li>Numbers and Infinity:<ul><li>Infinite Numbers</li><li>Infinitely Small and Infinitely Large Numbers</li></ul></li><li>Epilogue</li><li>Bibliography</li><li>Index</li></ul>Readership: Mathematicians, historians of mathematics, and historians of science in academia; Undergraduate and graduate students studying the history or philosophy of mathematics; Researchers and educators seeking original source material on number concepts; General readers interested in the intellectual and cultural evolution of numbers; Course use: Supplementary reading for courses in the history of mathematics, number theory, and philosophy of mathematics.

Coolant Flow Instabilities In Power Equipment

by Vladimir Antonovich Gerliga e Vladimir B. Khabensky

107,31€ + 10% CARD

 Thermal-hydraulic instability can potentially impair thermal reliability of reactor cores or other power equipment components. Thus it is important to address stability issues in power equipment associated with thermal and nuclear installations, particularly in thermal nuclear power plants, chemical and petroleum industries, space technology, and radio, electronic, and computer cooling systems. Coolant Flow Instabilities in Power Equipment synthesizes results from instability investigations around the world, presenting an analysis and generalization of the published technical literature.The authors include individual examples on flow stability in various types of equipment, including boilers, reactors, steam generators, condensers, heat exchangers, turbines, pumps, deaerators, bubblers, and pipelines. They also present information that has not been widely available until recently, such as thermal-acoustic instability, flow instability with supercritical parameters, and single-phase coolant flow static instability. The material described in this book is derived from vast amounts of experimental data from thermal-physical test facilities and full-scale installations. It is presented in a manner accessible to readers without advanced mathematical backgrounds.Particular attention has been paid to oscillatory (low-frequency and thermal-acoustic) and static thermal-hydraulic coolant flow instability. In addition, the physical mechanism of instability has been considered in detail. This book provides knowledge of the various types of flow instability, the equipment where this instability can manifest, and the ensuing consequences, as well as makes recommendations concerning possible removal or mitigation of these consequences. The authors provide this information as a useful reference for readers to facilitate the enhanced safety of modern power equipment through qualitative evaluation of design and flow parameters and subsequent selection of the optimal means for increasing flow stability.
