Sobre IBD

WE DELVE DEEP INTO THE SCIENCE AND INTER-RELATIONSHIPS OF FOUR FAMOUS MATHEMATICAL CONSTANTS: EULER’S NUMBER, e, THE LUDOLPHINE CONSTANT, ( pi ), PYTHAGORAS’ CONSTANT AND THE RATIO OF PHIDIAS ( phi ). ALONG THE WAY WE ASSESS THE USEFULNESS OF DIVERSE METHODS OF COMPUTING THESE NUMBERS, TECHNIQUES DATING FROM THE BRONZE AGE TO THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY. FROM THE EARLIEST DAYS OF VISIBLE LIFE TO OUR OWN TIMES, TINY ANIMALS HAVE PLOWED AND BURROWED THE DEEP SEA FLOOR IN SYSTEMATIC, GEOMETRICAL PATHS. THEY OFTEN SEEMED TO HAVE CONFORMED TO THE MATHEMATICS OF OUR FAMOUS NUMBERS! CAN THIS REALLY BE TRUE? WE CONSIDER THE EVIDENCE. THIS SECOND EDITION, CORRECTED AND EXTENDED, IS PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED AND HAS ORIGINAL RESEARCH, ALGEBRAIC DERIVATIONS, FULL ACADEMIC REFERENCES, AND A COMPREHENSIVE INDEX. 'FOUR FAMOUS NUMBERS' WILL APPEAL TO ENTHUSIASTS, UNDERGRADUATES AND TEACHERS IN HIGHER EDUCATION.
