The anthology is a collection of articles written by renowned mathematicians of the twentieth century. The articles span roughly a century in time and a wide range in subject. They are by mathematicians acknowledged by their peers as outstanding creators whose work has added richly to the discipline.

Based on some of the most memorable contributions honouring Leonhard Euler in the years approaching his tercentenary, this book will appeal to anyone with an interest in the history of mathematics, and serves as a compelling introduction to one of the greatest mathematical minds of all time.

Covering a span of almost 4000 years, from the ancient Babylonians to the eighteenth century, this collection of essays chronicles the enormous changes in mathematical thinking over this time, as viewed by distinguished historians of mathematics. It will be enjoyed by anyone interested in mathematics and its history.

This volume, written by Brian Hall, presents an in-depth look at an integral part of mining strategy optimisation - cut-off specification. The publication builds a thorough understanding of cut-offs, covering simple concepts along with the more complex and comprehensive models of cut-off theory and evaluation practices. The first section of the volume addresses the principles underlying the more complex approaches to strategy optimisation; whilst the second section deals with the finer details of conducting evaluations.

Offers a comprehensive history of the development of mathematics in the US and Canada. This first volume of a two-volume work takes the reader from the European encounters with North America in the fifteenth century up to the emergence of the United States as a world leader in mathematics in the 1930s.

G. H. Hardy ranks among the great mathematicians of the twentieth century, doing essential research in number theory and analysis. This book is a feast of Hardy's writing, featuring articles ranging from the serious to the humorous. The G. H. Hardy Reader is a worthy introduction to an extraordinary individual.

An introduction to recent developments in algebraic combinatorics and an illustration of how research in mathematics actually progresses.

An interdisciplinary investigation of how and why things collapse, ranging from governments to species, markets and structures. The author explores the mathematics behind six fundamental processes that lead to such collapses. The exposition assumes minimal mathematical background and should appeal to readers from a wide range of fields.

Flatland, Edwin Abbott's story of a two-dimensional universe, as told by one of its inhabitants who is introduced to the mysteries of three-dimensional space, has enjoyed an enduring popularity from the time of its publication in 1884. This fully annotated edition enables the modern-day reader to understand and appreciate the many 'dimensions' of this classic satire. Mathematical notes and illustrations enhance the usefulness of Flatland as an elementary introduction to higher-dimensional geometry. Historical notes show connections to late-Victorian England and to classical Greece. Citations from Abbott's other writings as well as the works of Plato and Aristotle serve to interpret the text. Commentary on language and literary style includes numerous definitions of obscure words. An appendix gives a comprehensive account of the life and work of Flatland's remarkable author.

A historical introduction to non-Euclidean geometry that guides readers step-by-step through a new translation of Lobachevski's groundbreaking book, The Theory of Parallels. It can be used as a primary text, or as supplementary reading, for courses in geometry or in the history of mathematics.

This book picks up the history of mathematics from where Sherlock Holmes in Babylon left it. The 40 articles of Who Gave You the Epsilon? continue the story of the development of mathematics into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is ideal for those interested in the history of mathematics.

This collection of sixteen original essays is the first to explore a range of new developments in the philosophy of mathematics, in a way mathematicians will understand. Coverage includes emerging questions in the field as well as recent thinking on classical ideas, all relevant to the teaching of mathematics.

A remarkable collection, which discusses not only Euler's well-known achievements in pure mathematics, but also his contributions in many other areas, from astronomy to music. Even readers already familiar with Euler and his work will find here much to enhance their appreciation of this extraordinary scientist and human being.
