  • The Quality of Numbers 1-31

    by Wolfgang Held ...
    One sun, two parents, three meals a day, four seasons, five fingers … every child soon discovers that lots of things in life have an inherent number attached to them. Just as five individual fingers become something much more important and powerful when combined together in a hand, these numbers are often much more than a simple addition of their parts: they are intrinsically connected to the ...

  • Gamma

    Exploring Euler's Constant

    by Julian Havil ...
    Series series Princeton Science Library
    Among the myriad of constants that appear in mathematics, p, e, and i are the most familiar. Following closely behind is g, or gamma, a constant that arises in many mathematical areas yet maintains a profound sense of mystery.In a tantalizing blend of history and mathematics, Julian Havil takes the reader on a journey through logarithms and the harmonic series, the two defining elements of gamma, ...

  • The Nothing that Is

    A Natural History of Zero

    by Robert Kaplan ...
    A symbol for what is not there, an emptiness that increases any number it's added to, an inexhaustible and indispensable paradox. As we enter the year 2000, zero is once again making its presence felt. Nothing itself, it makes possible a myriad of calculations. Indeed, without zero mathematics as we know it would not exist. And without mathematics our understanding of the universe would be vastly ... Read more

  • Gottlieb and Whitehead Center Groups of Spheres, Projective and Moore Spaces

    by Marek Golasiński, Juno Mukai ...
    This is a monograph that details the use of Siegel’s method and the classical results of homotopy groups of spheres and Lie groups to determine some Gottlieb groups of projective spaces or to give the lower bounds of their orders. Making use of the properties of Whitehead products, the authors also determine some Whitehead center groups of projective spaces that are relevant and new within this ... Read more
