Integral Methods in Science and Engineering, Volume 2: Computational Methods
Mathematical models—including those based on ordinary, partial differential, integral, and integro-differential equations—are indispensable tools for studying the physical world and its natural manifestations. Because of the usefulness of these models, it is critical for practitioners to be able to find their solutions by analytic and/or computational means.
Using the quantum properties of single photons to exchange binary keys between two partners for subsequent encryption of secret data is an absolutely novel technology. Only a few years ago quantum cryptography – or better: quantum key distribution (QKD) – was the domain of basic research laboratories at universities. But during the last few years things changed. QKD left the laboratories and was picked up by more practical oriented teams that worked hard to develop a practically applicable technology out of the astonishing results of basic research.
Loved this subject and the book, it has clear proofs and plenty of descriptions of concepts, and it works from the very beginning and builds on itself. I would reccomend it. It is an expensive book, but I got it for a much better price here on amazon, I think it was less than half of what they were asking at the UCLA bookstore. I will certainly be buying my textbooks here from now on.
The Mathematical Century is both popular and scholarly. Piergiorgio Odifreddi clearly and accurately covers many important mathematical problems and the contributions that leading mathematicians have made to their solutions. Offering a personal but very balanced perspective, his book is one that amateur and professional alike can learn from.
Mathical puzzles i After thinking a little, we got the answer to this puzzle , but these conversations revealed the fact that we both were much interested in various kinds of mathematical puzzles and between us knew a great many of them.
