We solve countless problems--big and small--every day. With so much practice, why do we often have trouble making simple decisions--much less arriving at optimal solutions to important questions? Are we doomed to this muddle--or is there a practical way to learn to think more effectively and creatively? In this enlightening, entertaining, and inspiring book, Edward Burger shows how we can become far better at solving real-world problems by lea...

Diophantine analysis, an area of number theory that helps to discover hidden treasures and truths within the numbers by exploring rational numbers, comprises two different but interconnected domains - diophantine approximation and diophantine equations. This book presents the fundamental ideas and theorems from diophantine approximation.

La matematica non è la disciplina arida e slegata dalla realtà che molti immaginano, anche sulla base di non felici esperienze scolastiche. È un mondo ricco di sorprese, di risultati inaspettati, di paradossi, dove l'intuito è importante ma deve essere confermato (o smentito) dal ragionamento, dove bisogna essere pronti a rivedere le proprie idee preconcette, anche per comprendere meglio gli eventi di tutti i giorni. Coincidenze apparentemente...

A book for the eternally curious, Coincidences fuses a professor's understanding of the hidden mathematical skeleton of the universe with the sensibility of a stand-up comedian, making life's big questions accessible and compelling. Each chapter opens with a surprising insight-not a mathematic formula, but a common observation. From there, the authors leapfrog over math and anecdote toward profound ideas about nature, art, and music. Coinciden...

Mathematicians do not know in advance if their assertions are true, so they need to verify assertions with rigorous proofs or produce counterexamples, then attempt to salvage the assertions by transforming them into theorems. Extending the Frontiers of Mathematics: Inquiries into Proof and Argumentation invites readers to experience this progression of mathematical discovery. Burger's informal, humorous writing style and intriguing puzzles eng...
