Mathematical Meditations (1) (AK Peters/CRC Recreational Mathematics Series)

Synopsis

Mathematical Meditations identifies, explores, and celebrates those aspects of mathematics that are good for you and your overall wellbeing. It is necessary for everyone to have a little time to think every so often: to contemplate, meditate, and try to understand where you are and what is going on around you. Mathematics can help you with all of that.The Meditations in this book are the product of thousands of years of mathematical discourse. As you read through the book and work through the various exercises, you will discover new mechanisms that allow you to contemplate and understand some complex mathematical principles. However, the focus will always be wider than a mere dry comprehension of theory, as you will be encouraged to meditate upon the deeper intrinsic beauty of mathematics and what it can reveal to us about the world around us.Features An original, engaging narrative format replete with novel exercises and examples Could be used in a classroom setting for liberal arts students, mathematics undergraduates, or high school teachers Accessible to anyone who wants to explore a different kind of perspective on mathematics
