Engineering Mathematics

Statistics is used in almost every field and industry imaginable. From healthcare to finance to marketing, statistics are used to make important decisions, identify patterns and trends, and predict future outcomes. Without a basic understanding of statistics, it's easy to be left behind and taken advantage of.

Shakespeare's era was abuzz with mathematical progress, from the new concept of "zero" to Galileo's redraft of the heavens. Now, Rob Eastaway uncovers the many surprising ways math shaped Shakespeare's plays—and his world—touring astronomy, code-breaking, color theory, navigation, music, sports, and more.

Do you want to become mentally sharper and quicker? Do you want to be able to save time and calculate large numbers on the go while you're shopping or adding up a bill at a restaurant? Do you want other people to notice how you seem to not need a calculator, how you seem like such a genius? If yes, then this audiobook is for you. Mental math is the ability to solve math problems in your head, without the need to write or use a calculator. And it has all of the benefits implied above and much more.

Sommes-nous guidés par le hasard ou par le destin ? Une histoire du déterminisme, de Newton jusqu'aux développements les plus récents de la théorie du chaos. Isaac Newton prévoit le mouvement des planètes Depuis Galilée et Newton, la physique et les mathématiques sont traversées par la question centrale du déterminisme : est-il possible de prévoir le futur à partir du présent ? Newton met au point un outil mathématique qui permet de prédire le mouvement des objets et des planètes. Ce faisant, et jusqu'au XIX siècle, il donne un élan d'optimisme conquérant à la science qui semble en état de résoudre tous les problèmes.

From Aristotle to Ada Lovelace: a brief history of the mathematical ideas that have forever changed the world and the everyday people and pioneers behind them. The story of our best invention yet. From our ability to calculate the passing of time to the algorithms that control computers and much else in our lives, numbers are everywhere. They are so indispensable that we forget how fundamental they are to our way of life.

What if, every time you wanted to write down 1,000,000, you had to draw a picture of a god? And what if that number were the biggest you had a symbol for? If you were doing math in ancient Egypt, those were the rules: anything bigger broke math. As mathematician Richard Elwes shows in Huge Numbers, this is the strange story of math. Even today, writing down some numbers is beyond us: try it with all the zeroes in a googolplex, or an outrageous alien number like TREE(3). Safer not to try: even harnessing every particle in the universe, you wouldn’t come close.

Humans are pattern-matching creatures, and astrology is the universe's grandest pattern-matching game. In this refreshing work of history and analysis, data scientist Alexander Boxer examines classical texts on astrology to expose its underlying scientific and mathematical framework.

ニューヨーク・タイムズベストセラー！テクノロジーの加速度的な進歩による人間社会の変化を予測して、ことごとく的中させてきたカーツワイルの最新話題作が、ついに日本上陸。彼が予測するAIが人間の知性を超える2029年はあと5年後に迫っている。

How many people achieve a cult following because of their writing in mathematics? Only a handful, and Martin Gardner is among the most well-known and well-loved. Not only did he present a notoriously difficult subject in an engaging and accessible way, but in doing so, he attracted an incredibly broad readership. His “Mathematical Games” column in Scientific American ran nearly every month for 26 years and was one of the most popular in the magazine’s history.

How do you apply game theory to select who should be on your Christmas shopping list? What equations should you use to decorate the Christmas tree? Will calculations show Santa is getting steadily thinner—shimmying up and down chimneys for a whole night—or fatter—as he munches on cookies and milk in billions of houses across the world? In The Indisputable Existence of Santa Claus, distinguished mathematicians Hannah Fry and Thomas Oléron Evans demonstrate, with eminent clarity, how applied mathematics are so thoroughly interwoven throughout our everyday lives.

考える力・創造する力が育つ AIとも仲良くできる　数学は、君が幸せに生きていくための、魔法の言葉だ!数学ぎらいなんてもったいない!

Thinking Like a Mathematician: Unlocking Logic, Probability, and Problem Solving for Everyday Life is your guide to mastering the art of mathematical thinking—not just for solving equations, but for navigating the complexities of life with clarity and confidence. Whether you're making decisions under uncertainty, analyzing patterns in data, or simply trying to approach challenges with a sharper mind, this book reveals how the principles of mathematics can transform the way you think.

If you’ve spent a fair share of time in math class glancing at the clock, you’re not alone. Glancing at the clouds and wondering how well counting the flower petals on the windowsill can help you run out the clock is a pretty common phenomenon for people who aren’t into numbers. But those connections you make aren’t just in your head. You might just be closer than you think to understanding the universe. The Voice of Math takes a deep dive into understanding numbers through the lens of humanity.

The exploration of eternal shapes is an endeavor that transcends temporal boundaries, reaching into the depths of human history and cultural evolution. A study of these archetypal forms reveals their indispensable role in shaping the very fabric of existence, both tangible and metaphysical.

Происхождение видов - opus magnum Дарвина, в котором он подробно и доступно обосновал теорию эволюции видов и естественного отбора как главного двигателя эволюции. Сейчас, когда с теорией эволюции знаком каждый школьник, невозможно даже представить себе, какой эффект произвел сначала в Англии, а потом и в других странах этот гениальный научный труд. Книга Дарвина, наряду с "Математическими началами натуральной философии" Ньютона, "О богатстве народов" Адама Смита, "Критикой чистого разума" Канта входит в золотой фонд человеческой мысли.

Não estamos preparados para lidar com o aleatório e, por isso, não percebemos o quanto o acaso interfere em nossas vidas.

Como resultado, nos ajuda a fazer escolhas mais acertadas e a conviver melhor com fatores que não podemos controlar.

Whether you are an educator, student, researcher, or administrator, it has become even more critical now more than ever to understand what contextualized math curriculum is and how it can be applied inside an online or face-to-face math classroom. What is contextualized mathematics? What are the foundational research underpinnings of contextualized math curriculum? What have we learned about contextualized math curriculum that will improve math education in the future?

Numeri, figure geometriche e relazioni matematiche sono dovunque attorno a noi, talvolta in forma evidente, più spesso annidati nei meccanismi di funzionamento dell'universo. Ma in che modo - e perché - queste creazioni astratte della mente umana riescono a descrivere il mondo concreto dei fenomeni naturali, da quelli più familiari a quelli che hanno luogo nelle profondità della materia e del cosmo? Un filosofo e uno scienziato esplorano la capillare presenza della matematica nella natura, raccontando alcune delle sue manifestazioni più curiose e affascinanti.
