CSI meets John Allen Paulos-ten cases of the uses and abuses of mathematics in the courtroom

(Paperback)

(Paperback)

A collection of papers on mathematical aspects of nonlinear dispersive equations, including both expository and technical papers that reflect a number of advances in the field. The expository papers describe the state of the art and research directions. The technical papers concentrate on a specific problem and the related analysis.

In this classic of statistical mathematical theory, Harald Cramer joins the two major lines of development in the field: while British and American statisticians were developing the science of statistical inference, French and Russian probabilitists transformed the classical calculus of probability into a rigorous and pure mathematical theory.

(Paperback)

An introduction to the mathematical concepts and techniques needed for the construction and analysis of models in molecular systems biology.

(Paperback)

An eloquent, utterly charming guide to discovering the interconnectedness of mathematics.

(Paperback)

A unique and utterly charming guide to the history of mathematics.

While most introductions to statistical mechanics are either too mathematical or too physical, Colin Thompson's book combines mathematical rigor with familiar physical materials. Following introductory chapters on kinetic theory, thermodynamics, the Gibbs ensembles, and the thermodynamic limit, later chapters discuss the classical theories of phase

The emigration of mathematicians from Europe during the Nazi era signaled an irrevocable and important historical shift for the international mathematics world. This book presents an account of this exodus. It describes the flight of more than 140 mathematicians, their reasons for leaving, and the political and economic issues involved.

(Paperback)

Contrary to popular belief--and despite the expulsion, emigration, or death of many German mathematicians--substantial mathematics was produced in Germany during 1933-1945. In this landmark social history of the mathematics community in Nazi Germany, Sanford Segal examines how the Nazi years affected the personal and academic lives of those German

(Paperback)

Explains how to become a 'good guesser'. This work explores techniques of guessing, inductive reasoning, and reasoning by analogy, and the role they play in the most rigorous of deductive disciplines.

Explains how to become a "good guesser." This two-volume work explores techniques of guessing, inductive reasoning, and reasoning by analogy, and the role they play in the most rigorous of deductive disciplines.

(Paperback)

Presenting mathematical ideas of people from a variety of small-scale and traditional cultures, this book humanizes our view of mathematics and expands our conception of what is mathematical. It demonstrates that traditional cultures have mathematical ideas that are far more substantial and sophisticated than is generally acknowledged.

(Hardback)

Traces the origins and development of mathematics in the ancient Middle East, from its earliest beginnings in the fourth millennium BCE to the end of indigenous intellectual culture in the second century BCE when cuneiform writing was gradually abandoned.

(Paperback)

From rainbows, river meanders, and shadows to spider webs, honeycombs, the visible world is full of patterns that can be described mathematically. Examining such readily observable phenomena, this book introduces readers to the beauty of nature as revealed by mathematics and the beauty of mathematics as revealed in nature.

The formulation, analysis, and re-evaluation of mathematical models in population biology has become a valuable source of insight to mathematicians and biologists alike. This book presents an overview and selected sample of these results and ideas, organized by biological theme rather than mathematical concept.
