  • General Investigations of Curved Surfaces

    Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Peter Pesic

    by Karl Friedrich Gauss ...
    Translated by Adam Hiltebeitel, James Morehead ...
    Series series Dover Books on Mathematics
    Gauss's theory of surfaces is among the purely mathematical achievements inspired by ideas that arose in connection with surveys of the surface of the earth. Long regarded as a masterpiece in content and form, this work features one of the author's most original contributions to mathematics--the discovery that Gauss termed the "Theorema Egregium." It consists of his penetrating definition of the ... Read more

  • The Calculus

    A Genetic Approach

    by Otto Toeplitz ...
    When first published posthumously in 1963, this bookpresented a radically different approach to the teaching of calculus. In sharp contrast to the methods of his time, Otto Toeplitz did not teach calculus as a static system of techniques and facts to be memorized. Instead, he drew on his knowledge of the history of mathematics and presented calculus as an organic evolution of ideas beginning with ... Read more

  • Geometry from a Differentiable Viewpoint

    by John McCleary ...
    The development of geometry from Euclid to Euler to Lobachevsky, Bolyai, Gauss and Riemann is a story that is often broken into parts – axiomatic geometry, non-Euclidean geometry and differential geometry. This poses a problem for undergraduates: Which part is geometry? What is the big picture to which these parts belong? In this introduction to differential geometry, the parts are united with all ...

  • Discrete or Continuous?

    The Quest for Fundamental Length in Modern Physics

    by Amit Hagar ...
    The idea of infinity plays a crucial role in our understanding of the universe, with the infinite spacetime continuum perhaps the best-known example - but is spacetime really continuous? Throughout the history of science, many have felt that the continuum model is an unphysical idealization, and that spacetime should be thought of as 'quantized' at the smallest of scales. Combining novel ... Read more

  • Fractional Differential Equations

    An Introduction to Fractional Derivatives, Fractional Differential Equations, to Methods of Their Solution and Some of Their Applications

    by Igor Podlubny ...
    Series Book 198 - Mathematics in Science and Engineering
    This book is a landmark title in the continuous move from integer to non-integer in mathematics: from integer numbers to real numbers, from factorials to the gamma function, from integer-order models to models of an arbitrary order. For historical reasons, the word 'fractional' is used instead of the word 'arbitrary'.This book is written for readers who are new to the fields of fractional ... Read more

  • Non-Euclidean Geometry

    Fifth Edition

    by H.S.M. Coxeter ...
    Series series Heritage
    The name non-Euclidean was used by Gauss to describe a system of geometry which differs from Euclid's in its properties of parallelism. Such a system was developed independently by Bolyai in Hungary and Lobatschewsky in Russia, about 120 years ago. Another system, differing more radically from Euclid's, was suggested later by Riemann in Germany and Cayley in England. The subject was unified in ... Read more
