  • John and Betty’s Journey Into Complex Numbers
    Matt Bower
    Set in the genre of a children’s book, John and Betty trace the evolutionof complex numbers and explore their operations. From integers, tofractions, to surds, complex numbers are made to seem like an obviousextension. Incorporating graphing on the complex number plane andculminating in De Moivre’s Theorem, the logic of complex numbers ismade to seem intuitive and simple. John ...

  • Special Functions
    Historically, the notion of entropy emerged in conceptually very distinct contexts. This book deals with the connection between entropy, probability, and fractional dynamics as they appeared, for example, in solar neutrino astrophysics since the 1970's (Mathai and Rathie 1975, Mathai and Pederzoli 1977, Mathai and Saxena 1978, Mathai, Saxena, and Haubold 2010).The original ...

  • VALUE DISTRIBUTION IN P-ADIC ANALYSIS
    ALAIN ESCASSUT / ESCASSUT ALAIN
     The book first explains the main properties of analytic functions in order to use them in the study of various problems in p-adic value distribution. Certain properties of p-adic transcendental numbers are examined such as order and type of transcendence, with problems on p-adic exponentials. Lazard's problem for analytic functions inside a disk is explained. P-adic meromo...

  • ENTENDIENDO LAS PROBABILIDADES Y CALCULÁNDOLAS
    Catalin Barboianu / Rafael Martilotti
    La vida cotidiana está llena de situaciones que exigen tomar decisiones. Y en estos casos comparamos y hacemos estimaciones de probabilidades, a veces casi sin darnos cuenta, especialmente en el momento de decidir. Pero las probabilidades no son números simples asociados objetiva o subjetivamente a los eventos, como nos podría parecer, y el cálculo y el uso que le damos están e...

  • Why Math?
    R.D. Driver
    This text aims to show that mathematics is useful to virtually everyone. And it seeks to accomplish this by offering the reader plenty of practice in elementary mathematical computations motivated by real-world problems. The prerequisite for this book is a little algebra and geometry-nothing more than entrance requirements at most colleges. I hope tha...
