 | Imaginary Numbers: An Anthology of Marvelous Mathematical Stories, Diversions, Poems, and Musings Product# 460688003 Selling for $19.95 "'With this delightful anthology, Frucht throws a bridge across the chasm separating the ?ÇÿTwo Cultures?ÇÖ of science and literature.'?ÇöBooklist 'A marvelous colledtion of diverse talents and writing.'?ÇöSan Diego Union-Tribune A wildly inventive treasury of the most artful words ever written about numbers. Mathematics and writing may seem to exist in opposite realms, but as William Frucht reveals, the world of numbers has always held a special fascination for men and women of letters. Imaginary Numbers displays the fruits of this cross-fertilization by collecting the best creative writing about mathematical topics from the past hundred years. In this engaging anthology, we can explore the many ways writers have played with mathematical ideas. Delve into the fourth dimension and infinity, into fantasy and philosophy with such masters as Lewis Carroll, Edwin Abbott Abbott, Philip K. Dick, Martin Gardner, and Alan Lightman. Revel in renowned tales by Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges, cult classics such as Connie Willis?ÇÖs 'The Schwartzschild Radius,'and lesser-known gems by such visionaries as William Gibson and A. K. Dewdney. For mathematical mavens and literary lions alike, Imaginary Numbers adds up to one fascinating read." |
 | Tensors and Manifolds; with Applications to Mechanics and Relativity Product# 460768145 Selling for $69 "This book is based on courses taken by advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in mathematics and physics at Michigan State University. The courses were intended to present an introduction to the expanse of modern mathematics and its applications in modern mathematics and its application in modern physics. This book gives an introduction perspective to young students intending to go into a field of pure mathematics, and who, with the usual 'pigeon-hold' graduate curriculum, will not get an overall perspective for several years, much less any idea of application." |
