This quote helps demonstrate the content, scope, and nature of this encyclopedia. The rich content covers the gamut from Abacus to Zero. Coverage is given to figures in mathematical history and development such as Galileo, Grace Hopper, and Pythagoras. Careers that rely on mathematics, like air traffic controller, insurance agent, radio disc jockey, and stonemason, have one-half to one-page articles describing how mathematics and a knowledge of it are essential to the profession. Standard mathematical and arithmetical topics are covered as well. The numerous contributors include college and university professors, K-12 teachers, and curriculum specialists. This work is designed to give users a view of how mathematics functions "in everyday life, as well as its role as a tool for measurement, data analysis, and technological development." The "broader look at mathematics" means that articles are written as simply as possible, and topics one would not ordinarily think of being in a work entitled Mathematics (for example, Cooking, measurement of; IMAX technology; Quilting; Television ratings) are included.

Adamant Media Corporation, edition 2004. - 276 pages. This Elibron Classics book is a facsimile reprint of a 1910 edition by Henry Frowde, London, etc. PREFACE To the Pythagoreans belongs by common consent the distinction of having raised mathematics to the level of a science. We may well feel some astonishment when we reflect that this great achievement, which implies in the achievers the spirit of sober scientific reasoning, should neverthel...

Издательство Springer, 2002, -734 pp. Since his death in 1996, many scientific meetings have been dedicated to the memory of Paul Erdos. All of them were focusing on a particular part of his vast work, a necessity due to his versatility and his broad scope of interest in mathematics. Andras Hajnal (in a paper written on the occasion of Erdos's 80th birthday) compared his work to a rain forest, where one can only see a part of one of the magnific...

Configurations. Volume 17, Numbers 1-2, Winter 2009. pp. 19-50. Subject Headings: Mathematics, Greek - Philosophy. Imagination (Philosophy). Abstract: This essay is a study in the routine use of imagination in Greek mathematical writings. By "routine" is meant both that this use is indeed very common, and that it is ultimately mundane. No flights of fancy, no poetical-like imaginative licenses are at stake. The issue rather is the systematic u...

Oxford University Press, 1997. - 304 pages. This book expounds a system of ideas about the nature of mathematics which Michael Resnik has been elaborating for a number of years. In calling mathematics a science he implies that it has a factual subject-matter and that mathematical knowledge is on a par with other scientific knowledge; in calling it a science of patterns he expresses his commitment to a structuralist philosophy of mathematics. He...
