London: Robinson, 2003. Book. New. Trade Paperback. First Edition. 8vo. First edition. 8vo. 255 pp. Philosophers and mathematicians have gone mad-in some cases, literally so-contemplating the nature of infinity, yet it is a concept we now introduce to schoolchildren. Thoroughly readable and accessible, science writer Brian Clegg's lively history explores the rather troubling concept of infinity in its many facets, from its ancient origins to its place today at the heart of mathematics and science. He examines infinity's paradoxes and profiles the people who first grappled with and then defined and refined them, and offers information, mystery, and poetry to help conceive of the inconceivable.

Cambridge, MA, U.S.A.: Birkhauser Boston, 1997. Book. As New. Hardcover. Reprint. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 216 pages 4 illus., hardcover. This is an advanced textbook based on lectures delivered by a well-known specialist at the Moscow Physico-Technical Institute. Brevity, logical organization, and a sometimes lighthearted approach are distinctive features of this modest book. The author makes the reader an active participant by asking questions, hinting, giving direct recommendations, comparing different methods, and discussing "pessimistic" and "optimistic" approaches to numerical analysis in a short time. Since matrix analysis underlies numerical methods and the author is an expert in this field, emphasis in the book is on methods and algorithms of matrix analysis. Also considered are function approximations, methods of solving nonlinear equations, and minimization methods. Alongside classical methods, new results and approaches developed over the last… Read More

Reprint, stated first paperback edition. 8vo. Trade paperback, 331 pp including index. Finalist of the 2006 Independent Publisher Book Awards. "Here physicist David Park, the author of The Fire Within the Eye, takes us on a 4,000-year journey to illuminate the multitude of elaborate metaphysical "contraptions" by which humans in the Western world have imagined the earth they inhabit and what lies beyond. "There is no practical way, of course, to pack all human understanding into a single volume, and Park doesn't try. Instead, he traces our evolving lines of reasoning, at least those emerging in the Western world, from early myth through the emergence of modern philosophy to the establishment of scientific method.... From person to person, period to period, Park threads together how myths were… Read More
