The domain of nonlinear dynamical systems and its mathematical underpinnings has been developing exponentially for a century, the last 35 years seeing an outpouring of new ideas and applications and a concomitant confluence with ideas of complex systems and their applications from irreversible thermodynamics. A few examples are in meteorology, ecological dynamics, and social and economic dynamics. These new ideas have profound implications for our understanding and practice in domains invo...

Take it step-by-step for math success!The quickest route to learning a subject is through a solid grounding in the basics. So what you won’t find in Easy Mathematics Step-by-Step is a lot of endless drills. Instead, you get a clear explanation that breaks down complex concepts into easy-to-understand steps, followed by highly focused exercises that are linked to core skills--enabling learners to grasp when and how to apply those techniques.This boo...

This is the 1st math book that I truly enjoyed. I was captivated by all the stories. My father also loved the book; his favorite part was the analysis of Joe Di Maggios hitting streak. My father & I now share a delight with math.April Cody HS seniorMATH FUN FOR EVERYONEthe book is designed for people who are good in math (do not have to be excellent in math) and enjoy basic math. the book contains math puzzels on different levels of difficulty, there are nume...

Concerning the secret significance of numbers there has been much speculation. Though many interesting discoveries have been made, it may be safely said that with the death of Pythagoras the great key to this science was lost. For nearly 2500 years philosophers of all nations have attempted to unravel the Pythagorean skein, but apparently none has been successful. Notwithstanding attempts made to obliterate all records of the teachings of Pythagoras, fragments have survived...

With his years of study, Dr. Cary Schneider has had lifelong exposure to and proficiency in numbers and math. He presents his practical, down-to-earth approach to think about numbers and math. It is designed as a guide for parents to help their children achieve a solid foundation for understanding numbers and math. The books role is not to replace but to supplement the education their children receive at school. It gives the early preschool child some basic information and perspectives so ...

There is a widely held conception that progress in science and technology is our salvation, and the more of it, the better. This, however, is an oversimplified and even dangerous attitude. While the future will certainly offer huge changes due to such progress, it is far from certain that all of these changes will be for the better. The unprecedented rate of technological development that the 20th century witnessed has made our lives today vastly different from those in 1900. No slowdown i...

In 2007, Apple released the iPhone. With this release came tools as revolutionary as the internet was to businesses and individuals back in the mid- and late-nineties: Apps. Much like websites drove (and still drive) business, so too do apps drive sales, efficiencies and communication between people. But also like web design and development, in its early years and iterations, guidelines and best practices for apps are few and far between.Designing Apps for Success provides web/app ...

This book is intended to serve as a textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students of mathematics.
