Giveaway: Components of Arithmetic: From Euclid to Gödel

This week we’re giving freely a hardcover copy of Components of Arithmetic: From Euclid to Gödel. To enter Math Weblog’s August giveaway, please observe the directions beneath.

PRIZE DETAILS

Components of Arithmetic: From Euclid to Gödel by John Stillwell is a good dim sum, so to talk, of assorted mathematical areas. The subjects lined are “elementary” and the clear explanations, as per the creator’s admission, don’t assume mathematical information past a highschool degree.

Introduced this fashion, the ebook would look like fairly primary. In actuality, I’d count on most undergraduate college students to be challenged at instances whereas studying it.

I’ll go additional and say that regardless of being a particularly approachable ebook, I’m keen to wager that even most mathematicians would stroll away from this ebook with some new perception on these “elementary” subjects.

The dialogue round what makes a mathematical idea elementary or superior (by means of the filter of infinity, abstraction, and proof) alone is definitely worth the value of admission.

For the file, the ebook is split into 10 chapters: a short introduction to eight areas of math, adopted by 8 chapters every of which explores one in all them, and wraps up with a sophisticated arithmetic chapter.

Elementary Subjects
Arithmetic
Computation
Algebra
Geometry
Calculus
Combinatorics
Chance
Logic
Some Superior Arithmetic

Every chapter concludes with a couple of pages of historic and philosophical remarks. Actually good things.

I loved this ebook and I’m excited to giveaway a duplicate to at least one fortunate reader. See beneath for particulars on find out how to enter the giveaway.
