Roland "Ron" Edwin Larson (born October 31, 1941) is a professor of mathematics at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, Pennsylvania. [1] He is best known for being the author of a series of widely used mathematics textbooks ranging from middle school through the second year of college.
God Created the Integers: The Mathematical Breakthroughs That Changed History is a 2005 anthology, edited by Stephen Hawking, of "excerpts from thirty-one of the most important works in the history of mathematics." [1] Each chapter of the work focuses on a different mathematician and begins with a biographical overview. Within each chapter ...
Graduate Texts in Mathematics (GTM) (ISSN 0072-5285) is a series of graduate-level textbooks in mathematics published by Springer-Verlag.The books in this series, like the other Springer-Verlag mathematics series, are yellow books of a standard size (with variable numbers of pages).
LibreTexts' current primary support is from the 2018 Open Textbook Pilot Program award from the Department of Education Organization Act. [7] [10] [5] [11] FIPSE [12] Other funding comes from the University of California Davis, the University of California Davis Library, [5] and the California State University System both through MERLOT and its Affordable Learning Solutions (AL$) program.
The books in this series, like the other Springer-Verlag mathematics series, are small yellow books of a standard size. The books in this series tend to be written at a more elementary level than the similar Graduate Texts in Mathematics series, although there is a fair amount of overlap between the two series in terms of material covered and ...
The ramified type (τ 1,...,τ m |σ 1,...,σ n) can be modeled as the product of the type (τ 1,...,τ m,σ 1,...,σ n) with the set of sequences of n quantifiers (∀ or ∃) indicating which quantifier should be applied to each variable σ i. (One can vary this slightly by allowing the σs to be quantified in any order, or allowing them to ...
The core sections of the Companion are aimed primarily at readers who are already familiar with mathematics at the undergraduate level. [2] [5] Much of the rest of the book, such as its collection of biographies, would be accessible to a mathematically inclined high school student, [2] [3] [6] and there is enough depth of coverage in the book ...
Numerical analysis is the study of algorithms that use numerical approximation (as opposed to general symbolic manipulations) for the problems of mathematical analysis (as distinguished from discrete mathematics). [25] Modern numerical analysis does not seek exact answers, because exact answers are often impossible to obtain in practice.
