  • MVT
    Craig Smorynski
    This book is about the rise and supposed fall of the mean value theorem. It discusses the evolution of the theorem and the concepts behind it, how the theorem relates to other fundamental results in calculus, and modern re-evaluations of its role in the standard calculus course. The mean value theorem is one of the central results of calculus. It was called 'the fundamental th...

  • A Treatise on the Binomial Theorem
    Craig Smorynski
    'The binomial theorem is usually quite rightly considered as one of the mostimportant theorems in the whole of analysis.' Thus wrote Bernard Bolzanoin 1816 in introducing the first correct proof of Newton’s generalisation of acentury and a half earlier of a result familiar to us all from elementary algebra. Bolzano’s appraisal may surprise the modern reader familiar only with t...

  • Chapters in Probability

Numerous excerpts from the literature, both from the pioneers in the field and its commentators, some given new English translations, pepper the exposition. First, for the reader without a background in the Cal...

  • Adventures in Formalism
    Craig Smorynski
    Mathematics originates with intuition. But intuition alone can only go so far and formalism develops to handle the more difficult problems. Formalism, however, has its inherent dangers. There are three types of formalism. Type Iformalism, exemplified in the work of Euler, is basically heuristic reasoning, the use of familiar reasoning in areas where the reasoning might not or ...

  • Self-Reference and Modal Logic
    Craig Smorynski
    It is Sunday, the 7th of September 1930. The place is Konigsberg and the occasion is a small conference on the foundations of mathematics. Arend Heyting, the foremost disciple of L. E. J. Brouwer, has spoken on intuitionism; Rudolf Carnap of the Vienna Circle has expounded on logicism; Johann (formerly Janos and in a few years to be Johnny) von Neuman...
