“Differential Equations with MATLAB” (2nd ed.) is a supplemental text that can enrich and enhance any first course in ordinary differential equations. Designed to accompany Wiley’s ODE texts written by Boyce/DiPrima, Borrelli/Coleman and Lomen/Lovelock, this supplement helps instructors move towards an earlier use of numerical and geometric methods, place a greater emphasis on systems (including nonlinear ones), and increase discussions of both the benefits and possible pitfalls in numerical solution of ODEs.
This second edition of Alexander Sofier’s Geometric Etudes in Combinatorial Mathematics provides supplementary reading materials to students of all levels interested in pursuing mathematics, especially in algebra, geometry, and combinatorial geometry. Within the text, the author outlines an introduction to graph theory and combinatorics while exploring topics such as the pigeonhole principle, Borsuk problem, and theorems of Helly and Szokefalvi—Nagy.
Grades 1 to 4 • Ages 6 and Up In Star Wars® Math: Jabba's Game Galaxy™, watch your students' brainpower grow as they face Jabba the Hutt in an age-old strategy game or play a variation of the familiar classroom game "Pig" with a classmate or a favorite character. Activities using addition, subtraction, multiplication, place value and equivalencies are included. Balanced attention to both computation and reasoning makes this a great choice.
The articles in two volumes arose from papers given at the 1991 International Symposium on Geometric Group Theory, and they represent some of the latest thinking in this area. Many of the world's leading figures in this field attended the conference, and their contributions cover a wide diversity of topics. This second volume contains solely a ground breaking paper by Gromov, which provides a fascinating look at finitely generated groups. For anyone whose interest lies in the interplay between groups and geometry, these books will be an essential addition to their library.
These volumes contain survey papers given at the 1991 international symposium on geometric group theory, and they represent some of the latest thinking in this area. Many of the world's leading figures in this field attended the conference, and their contributions cover a wide diversity of topics. Volume I contains reviews of such subjects as isoperimetric and isodiametric functions, geometric invariants of a groups, Brick's quasi-simple filtrations for groups and 3-manifolds, string rewriting, and algebraic proof of the torus theorem, the classification of groups acting freely on R-trees, and much more.
