Showing titles in Mathematics

This philosophical essay is the development of a lecture on probabilities which I delivered in 1795 to the normal schools whither I had been called, by a decree of the national convention, as professor of mathematics with Lagrange. I have recently published upon the same subject a work entitled The Analytical Theory of Probabilities. I present here without the aid of analysis the principles and general results of this theory, applying them to the most important questions of life, which are indeed for the most part only problems of probability.

From the contours of coastlines to the outlines of clouds, and the branching of trees, fractal shapes can be found everywhere in nature. In this Very Short Introduction, Kenneth Falconer explains the basic concepts of fractal geometry, which produced a revolution in our mathematical understanding of patterns in the 20th century, and explores the wide range of applications in science, and in aspects of economics.

Les algorithmes nous entourent, ils sont partout. On les trouve dans nos smartphones, dans nos ordis, dans la cuisine, et même dans nos chambres à coucher. Les plus connus s’appellent Google, Siri, Alexa, et ils apprennent de nous et de nos données. Avec Ex Machina, les chercheuses et les chercheurs de l’Université Paris Dauphine–PSL nous emmènent dans leurs réflexions pour mieux comprendre l’intelligence artificielle et ce que son arrivée dans notre quotidien implique pour nous, les humains. Le podcast Ex Machina aborde l’impact des intelligences artificielles et des ...

Leading for Organisational Change is an intelligent and practical guide to the human side of merger integration and other organizational change. Building a clear sense of common purpose and then reinforcing it through storytelling can underpin the success of an integration or significant change program. Pulling together the best thinking from neuroscience, psychology, business, and her rich personal experience in 20 years of leading change projects in professional services organizations and other people-centered businesses, author Jennifer Emery presents a framework for change.

Would you like to double your reading speed without losing comprehension? Can you reckon how much will a $30/month gym membership cost for 24 months without writing anything or pulling out a calculator? Do you want to improve your focus, memory, and productivity while also training your brain? The truth is, improving your reading speed and developing mental math skills can have a huge impact on your daily life.

I hope you’re reading this while on a bus, commuting to work, getting ready to face the customers or bosses. I wanna rest your mind a bit, before all the hassle of day to day life hits. I know how it feels, I’m living through it. I’m typing this on my phone still deciding if I’m ready to share my personal space to the world. But this world gives me peace and a daily lift, readying me for the day and calming me for the night. I hope to the few people that hear this, try what I did. Make a place where everything is as you want it to be, a place where stress and depression, will be ...

How can you be 100 percent sure you will win a bet? Why did so many Pompeians stay put while Mount Vesuvius was erupting? Are you more likely to work in a kitchen if your last name is Baker? Ever since the dawn of human civilization, we have been trying to make predictions about what the world has in store for us. For just as long, we have been getting it wrong. In How to Expect the Unexpected, mathematician Kit Yates uncovers the surprising science that undergirds our predictions—and how we can use it to our advantage.

Math has certainly gotten a bad reputation for being a subject that involves endless calculations and problems that will never be used in the real world, especially now that we all walk around with calculators in our pockets! But the fact is that math is required in multiple areas of an adult’s life, from preparing recipes to managing finances, and that’s without a career in STEM.

This sassy book is your VIP pass, taking you behind the scenes with a TikTok superstar who shatters stereotypes and proves that math can be fascinating and fun, even for people who think they aren’t good at it.

Can we scientifically predict our future? Scientists and pseudo scientists have been pursuing this mystery for hundreds and perhaps thousands of years. But now, astonishing new research is revealing patterns in human behavior previously thought to be purely random. Precise, orderly, predictable patterns.

In the 1940s and '50s, when the newly minted Jet Propulsion Laboratory needed quick-thinking mathematicians to calculate velocities and plot trajectories, they didn't turn to male graduates. Rather, they recruited an elite group of young women who, with only pencil, paper, and mathematical prowess, transformed rocket design, helped bring about the first American satellites, and made the exploration of the solar system possible.

Filled with illuminating historical anecdotes and asides on some of the most fascinating mathematicians through the ages, One, Two, Three is a captivating exploration of the foundation of mathematics: how it originated, who thought of it, and why it matters.

History of mathematics research with iconoclastic madcap twists

Do your carefully planned lessons feel unsuccessful? "I've tried everything," you think. "Shouldn't math be a little more engaging?" Ilana Seidel Horn understands your frustration. Participating in math class feels socially risky to students. Staying silent often feels safer. In Motivated, Ilana shows why certain teaching strategies create classroom climates where students want to join in.

Almost all of us have sat in a math class, wondering when we'd ever need to know how to find the roots of a polynomial or graph imaginary numbers. And in one sense, we were right: If we needed to, we'd use a computer. But as Ian Stewart argues in What's the Use?, math isn't just about boring computations. Rather, it offers us new and profound insights into our world, allowing us to accomplish feats as significant as space exploration and organ donation.

Choices can be overwhelming. But you don’t need to give up on the things that you want just because you have a history of making the worst decisions. With the help of game theory, you will learn to adapt a more rational, effective, and analytical way to formulate your decisions and land the outcome that you’ve always wanted. More often than not, decisions based on merely feelings can lead to chaos and dissatisfaction. It will always be better to use your head in making a choice, especially in major deals such as in your business and personal affairs.
