Creators of Mathematical and Computational Sciences de Ravi P Agarwal

Creators of Mathematical and Computational Sciences

Autor Ravi P Agarwal, Syamal K Sen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 sep 2016
​The book records the essential discoveries of mathematical and computational scientists in chronological order, following the birth of ideas on the basis of prior ideas ad infinitum. The authors document the winding path of mathematical scholarship throughout history, and most importantly, the thought process of each individual that resulted in the mastery of their subject. The book implicitly addresses the nature and character of every scientist as one tries to understand their visible actions in both adverse and congenial environments. The authors hope that this will enable the reader to understand their mode of thinking, and perhaps even to emulate their virtues in life.

Recenzii

“The book under review is a collection ofbiographies of hundreds of mathematicians, chronologically ordered by year ofbirth. … The authors are to be commended for such a great work, which isexpected to be useful to a great number of readers. … Many readers will alsofind the book pleasant to page through while relaxing, with a cup of coffee, inan armchair.” (Mowaffaq Hajja, zbMATH, Vol. 1326.01001, 2016)
“Agarwal (Texas A&M Univ.–Kingsville) and Sen (GVP College of Engineering, India) begin their book with 36 pages of brief histories of arithmetic, astronomy, mathematical science, and computational science. Though each section is very succinct, all highlight the fundamental significance of the areas and give a sense of the development of the subject. … Summing Up: Recommended. General readers and lower-division undergraduates.”(R. L. Pour, Choice, Vol. 52 (10), June, 2015)
“This book wants to illustrate how mathematics has grown. … It contains all the information in one volume, not available elsewhere in this form. So it certainly deserves a place in a mathematics library. For those who explore the world from behind their computer, they can use the pdf version in which they can search electronically if they prefer that instead of paging through a hard copy book.” (Adhemar Bultheel, euro-math-soc.au, December, 2014)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The book records the essential discoveries of mathematical and computational scientists in chronological order, following the birth of ideas on the basis of prior ideas ad infinitum. The authors document the winding path of mathematical scholarship throughout history, and most importantly, the thought process of each individual that resulted in the mastery of their subject. The book implicitly addresses the nature and character of every scientist as one tries to understand their visible actions in both adverse and congenial environments. The authors hope that this will enable the reader to understand their mode of thinking, and perhaps even to emulate their virtues in life.
… presents a picture of mathematics as a creation of the human imagination.
… brings the history of mathematics to life by describing the contributions of the world’s greatest mathematicians.
—Rex F. Gandy, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, TAMUK
 
It starts with the explanation and history of numbers, arithmetic, geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and follows by describing highlights of  contributions of nearly 500 creators of mathematics back to Krishna Dwaipayana or Sage Veda Vyasa born in 3374 BC to a recent Field medalist Terence Chi–Shen Tao born in 1975.
—Anthony To-Ming Lau, Ex-President, Canadian Mathematical Society
 
…authors explain what mathematics, mathematical science, mathematical proof,
computational science, and computational proofs are. …book is strongly recommendable to mathematicians or non-mathematicians and teachers or students in order to enhance their mathematical knowledge or ability.—Sehie Park, Ex-President, Korean Mathematical Society
