Sobre IBD

Growing out of a course in the history of mathematics given to school teachers,the present book covers a number of topics of elementary mathematics from both the mathematical and historical perspectives.Included are topics from geometry (π, Napoleon’s Theorem, trigonometry),recreational mathematics (the Pell equation, Fibonacci numbers), and computational mathematics (finding square roots, mathematical tables). Although written with the needs of the mathematics teacher in mind, the book can be read profitably by any high school graduate with a liking for mathematics.

  • How Mathematicians Think
    William Byers
    To many outsiders, mathematicians appear to think like computers, grimly grinding away with a strict formal logic and moving methodically--even algorithmically--from one black-and-white deduction to another. Yet mathematicians often describe their most important breakthroughs as creative, intuitive responses to ambiguity, contradiction, and paradox. A unique examination of this...

    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
    Craig Smorynski
    This book introduces elementary probability through its history, eschewing the usual drill in favour of a discussion of the problems that shaped the field’s development. 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 ...
