Three components contribute to a theme sustained throughout the Coburn Series: that of laying a firm foundation, building a solid framework, and providing strong connections. Not only does Coburn present a sound problem-solving process to teach students to recognize a problem, organize a procedure, and formulate a solution, the text encourages students to see beyond procedures in an effort to gain a greater understanding of the big ideas behind mathematical concepts.
Following Hilbert, in our treatment of neutral geometry (called also absolute geometry and composed of facts true in both Euclidean and Lobachevskian geometries) we define points, lines, and planes as mathematical objects with the property that these objects, as well as some objects formed from them, like angles and triangles, satisfy the axioms listed in sections 1 through 4 of this chapter.
Elliptic Functions - An Elementary Text-Book For Students Of Mathematics
Originally published in 1890. This early works will appeal greatly to any mathematics student with much of the information still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on the Mathematics of Program Construction, MPC 2004, held in Stirling, Scotland, UK in July 2004. The 19 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. Among the topics addressed are programming theory, programming methodology, program specification, program transformation, programming paradigms, programming calculi, and programming language semantics.
Junqueira's Basic Histology, 12th Edition: Text and Atlas
The most authoritative histology text available -- now in full-color For more than three decades, Junqueira's Basic Histology has been unmatched in its ability to explain the function of cell and tissue structure in the human body. Updated to reflect the latest research in the field, and enhanced with more than 1,000 illustrations, most in full-color, the 12th Edition is the most comprehensive and modern approach to understanding medical histology available anywhere.
