Student Solutions Manual for Stewart's Multivariable Calculus, 6th Edition
Provides completely worked-out solutions to all odd-numbered exercises within the text, giving you a way to check your answers and ensure that you took the correct steps to arrive at an answer. James Stewart received his M.S. from Stanford University and his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. He did research at the University of London and was influenced by the famous mathematician George Polya at Stanford University.
You Are a Mathematician: A Wise and Witty Introduction to the Joy of Numbers
If you have ever wondered what makes mathematics so fascinating to a mathematician, this may be the book for you. Wells, a British teacher and author of several books of problems and popular mathematics, leads you through topics in geometry, theory of numbers, games, and scientific modeling. In each chapter, the author works upward from simple, specific examples to greater levels of generalization, demonstrating clearly the way new results are actually discovered by mathematicians. He expects only a background in high school algebra and a willingness to put in some effort.
The Man Who Loved Only Numbers: The Story of Paul Erdös and the Search for Mathematical Truth
Paul Erdös was an amazing and prolific mathematician whose life as a world-wandering numerical nomad was legendary. He published almost 1500 scholarly papers before his death in 1996, and he probably thought more about math problems than anyone in history. Like a traveling salesman offering his thoughts as wares, Erdös would show up on the doorstep of one mathematician or another and announce, "My brain is open
Starting with the concept that mathematical logic is not a collection of vaguely related results, but a method of attacking some of the most interesting problems which face the mathematician, the author sets the tone for this classic introduction. The basic concepts are presented in an unusually clear and accessible fashion, keeping in mind the original purpose of mathematical logic to build the foundations of this vast edifice of knowledge in a way that helps and intrigues the working mathematician as much as the philosophically minded student of logic.
