100 Geometric Games
by Martin Gardner Pierre Berloquin Denis DugasThere are three loops in a tangle of rope. How many are independent, and how many are interlocked?Two knights stand on a chessboard. How many other knights must you add so that each square is occupied or threatened by a knight?Among six seemingly identical drawings of mandalas, each rotated by multiples of 60 degrees, one is different. Which is it, and why?Challenge yourself with these mind-benders, brainteasers, and puzzles. Each of them has been carefully selected so that none will be too tough for anyone without a math background - but they're not too easy. Some are original, and all are clearly and accurately answered at the back of the book.
100 Essential Things You Didn't Know You Didn't Know about Math and the Arts
by John D. BarrowA fascinating exploration of math's connection to the arts. At first glance, the worlds of math and the arts might not seem like comfortable neighbors. But as mathematician John D. Barrow points out, they have a strong and natural affinity--after all, math is the study of all patterns, and the world of the arts is rich with pattern. Barrow whisks us through 100 thought-provoking and often whimsical intersections between math and many arts, from the golden ratios of Mondrian's rectangles and the curious fractal-like nature of Pollock's drip paintings to ballerinas' gravity-defying leaps and the next generation of monkeys on typewriters tackling Shakespeare. For those of us with our feet planted more firmly on the ground, Barrow also wields everyday equations to reveal how many guards are needed in an art gallery or where you should stand to look at sculptures. From music and drama to literature and the visual arts, Barrow's witty and accessible observations are sure to spark the imaginations of math nerds and art aficionados alike.
100 Essential Things You Didn't Know You Didn't Know: Math Explains Your World
by John D. Barrow"Where else does math become a romp, full of entertaining tricks and turns?"--Bryce Christensen, Booklist Have you ever considered why you always get stuck in the longest line? Why two's company but three's a crowd? Or why there are six degrees of separation instead of seven? In this hugely informative and endlessly entertaining book, John D. Barrow takes the most baffling of everyday phenomena and--with simple math, lucid explanations, and illustrations--explains why they work the way they do. His witty, crystal-clear answers shed light on the dark and shadowy corners of the physical world we all think we understand so well.

100+1 Problems in Advanced Calculus: A Creative Journey through the Fjords of Mathematical Analysis for Beginners (Problem Books in Mathematics)
by Paolo Toni Pier Domenico Lamberti Giacomo DragoThis book convenes a collection of carefully selected problems in mathematical analysis, crafted to achieve maximum synergy between analytic geometry and algebra and favoring mathematical creativity in contrast to mere repetitive techniques. With eight chapters, this work guides the student through the basic principles of the subject, with a level of complexity that requires good use of imagination.In this work, all the fundamental concepts seen in a first-year Calculus course are covered. Problems touch on topics like inequalities, elementary point-set topology, limits of real-valued functions, differentiation, classical theorems of differential calculus (Rolle, Lagrange, Cauchy, and l’Hospital), graphs of functions, and Riemann integrals and antiderivatives. Every chapter starts with a theoretical background, in which relevant definitions and theorems are provided; then, related problems are presented. Formalism is kept at a minimum, and solutions can be found at the end of each chapter.Instructors and students of Mathematical Analysis, Calculus and Advanced Calculus aimed at first-year undergraduates in Mathematics, Physics and Engineering courses can greatly benefit from this book, which can also serve as a rich supplement to any traditional textbook on these subjects as well.

الفصل في الملل و الآهواء و النحل
by ابن حزمإن كثيراً من الناس كتبوا في افتراق الناس في دياناتهم ومقالاتهم كتباً كثيرة جداً فبعض أطال وأسهب وأكثر وهجر واستعمل الأغاليط والشغب فكان ذلك شاغلاً عن الفهم قاطعاً دون العلم وبعض حذف وقصر وقلل واختصر واضرب عن كثير من قوي معارضات أصحاب المقالات فكان في ذلك غير منصف لنفسه في أن يرضى لها بالغبن في الإبانة وظالماً لخصمه في أن لم يوفه حق اعتراضه وباخساً حق من قرأ كتابه إذ لم يغنه عن غيره وكلهم إلا تحلة القسم عقد كلامه تعقيداً يتعذر فهمه على كثير من أهل الفهم وحلق على المعاني من بعد حتى صار ينسي آخر كلامه أوله وأكثر هذا منهم ستائر دون فساد معانيهم فكان هذا منهم غير محمود في عاجله وآجله.
الشغل، الشغل! لا ينتهي، أو يكتمل
by رٍجينا بروكسيستمتع الأطفال باللعب وتمضية أوقاتهم في المتنزهات والحدائق. لكنهم يضطرون أحياناً للقيام ببعض الأعمال المنزلية قبل تمكنهم من الذهاب إلى المتنزه. وعلى الرغم من أن القيام بهذه الأعمال ليس بمتعة اللعب أو الذهاب إلى المتنزه, إلا أن الأطفال يحتاجون لاستيعاب فكرة أن هذه الأعمال يجب أن تتم على أية حال, وأن إنجازها قد يكون شرطاً للحصول على وقت للعب. فالكتاب يروي قصة طفلة وعدتها أمها أن تأخذها للمتنزه في عطلة نهاية الأسبوع, ولكن ليس قبل أن تنتهي من إنجاز بعض الأعمال لمساعدة أمها في البيت. تقوم الطفلة بالأعمال الصغيرة المختلفة وهي تتذمر من هذا الشغل الذي لا ينتهي, بينما تحاول الأم جعلها تفكر بطريقة إيجابية وأن تتذكر بأنها ستذهب للمتنزه حال الانتهاء من هذه الأعمال. وحين تنتهي الطفلة من شغل المنزل, تأتي إليها الأم مرة أخرى لتريها بأن عملها في البيت كان جميلاً, وبأنها استحقت نجمة عن كل عمل قامت به.
الرسالة المستطرقة فى علوم الحديث
by محمد بن جعفر الكتانيوقد قال (ابن حجر) في أول (مقدمة فتح الباري) ما نصه: اعلم أن آثار النبي ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ لم تكن في عصر الصحابة وكبار التابعين مدونة في الجوامع، ولا مرتبه، لأمرين: أحدهما: أنهم كانوا في ابتداء الحال قد نهوا عن ذلك، كما ثبت في (صحيح مسلم)، خشية أن يختلط بعض ذلك بالقرآن العظيم. وثانيهما: لسعة حفظهم، وسيلان أذهانهم، ولأن أكثرهم كانوا لا يعرفون الكتابة. ثم حدث في أواخر عصر التابعين تدوين الآثار، وتبويب الأخبار، لمّا انتشر العلماء في الأمصار، وكثر الابتداع من الخوارج والروافض ومنكري الأقدار، واتسع الخرق على الراقع، وكاد أن يلتبس الباطل بالحق. فأول من جمع في ذلك (الربيع بن صبيح) (وسعيد ابن أبي عروبة) وغيرهما. دونت أحكام الحديث في منتصف القرن الثاني وكانوا يصنفون كل باب على حده، إلى أن قام كبار أهل الطبقة الثانية في منتصف القرن (ص 6) الثاني، فدونوا الأحكام. فصنف (الإمام مالك) (الموطأ) بالمدينة، وتوخى فيه القوي من حديث أهل الحجاز، ومزجه بأقوال الصحابة، وفتاوى التابعين، ومن بعدهم. أول من صنف الحديث بمكة ابن جريج وصنف (أبو محمد عبد الملك بن عبد العزيز بن جريج) بمكة، (وأبو عمرو عبد الرحمن بن عمرو الأوزاعي) بالشام، (وأبو عبد الله سفيان بن سعيد الثوري) بالكوفة، (وأبو سلمة حماد بن سلمة بن دينار) بالبصرة. ثم تلاهم كثير من أهل عصرهم في النسج على منوالهم، إلى أن رأى بعض الأئمة منهم، أن يفرد حديث النبي ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ خاصة، وذلك على رأس المائتين. فصنف (عبيد الله بن موسى العبسي الكوفي) مسندا، وصنف (مسدد بن مسرهد البصري) مسندا، وصنف (أسد بن موسى الأموي) مسندا، وصنف (نُعيم بن حماد الخزاعي) نزيل مصر مسندا، ثم اقتفى الأئمة بعد ذلك أثرهم، فقلَّ إمام من الحفاظ إلا وصنف حديثه على المسانيد، (كالإمام أحمد بن حنبل) (و إسحاق بن راهويه) (وعثمان بن أبي شيبة) وغيرهم من النبلاء. ومنهم من صنف على الأبواب والمسانيد معا (كأبي بكر بن أبي شيبة) اهـ. وعبارته في (إرشاد الساري) قال: منهم من رتب على المسانيد (كالإمام أحمد بن حنبل) (و إسحاق بن راهويه) (وأبي بكر ابن أبي شيبة) (وأحمد بن منيع) (وأبي خيثمة) (والحسن بن سفيان) (وأبي بكر البزار) وغيرهم. ومنهم من رتب على العلل: بأن يجمع في كل متن طرقه، واختلاف الرواة فيه، بحيث يتضح إرسال ما يكون متصلا، أو وقف ما يكون مرفوعا، أو غير ذلك. ومنهم من رتب على الأبواب الفقهية، وغيرها، ونوّعه أنواعا، وجمع ما ورد في كل نوع، وفي كل حكم إثباتا ونفيا، في باب فباب، بحيث يتميز ما يدخل في الصوم مثلا عما يتعلق بالصلاة. وأهل هذه الطريقة منهم من تقيد بالصحيح (كالشيخين) وغيرهما، ومنهم من لم يتقيد بذلك كباقي الكتب الستة، وكان أول من صنف في الصحيح (محمد بن إسماعيل البخاري). ومنهم المقتصر على (ص 7) الأحاديث المتضمنة للترغيب والترهيب، ومنهم من حذف الإسناد واقتصر على المتن فقط، (كالبغوي) في (مصابيحه) (واللؤلؤي) في (مشكاته) اهـ.
الأخلاق والسير في مداواة النفوس
by أبي محمد علي بن حزم الأندلسي الظاهريقد جمعت في كتابي هذا معان كثيرة أفادنيها واهب التمييز تعالى بمرور الأيام وتعاقب الأحوال بما منحني عز وجل من التهمم بتصاريف الزمان والإشراف على أحواله حتى أنفقت في ذلك أكثر عمري وآثرت تقييد ذلك بالمطالعة له والفكرة فيه على جميع اللذات التي تميل إليها أكثر النفوس وعلى الازدياد من فضول المال ورقمت كل ما سبرت من ذلك بهذا الكتاب لينفع الله تعالى به من شاء من عباده ممن يصل إليه ما أتعبت فيه نفسي واجهدتها فيه واطلت فيه فكري فيأخذه عفوا وأهديته إليه هنيئا فيكون ذلك أفضل له من كنوز المال وعقد الأملاك إذا تدبره ويسره الله تعلي لاستعماله. وانا راج في ذلك من الله تعالي أعظم الأجر لنيتي في نفع عباده وإصلاح ما فسد من أخلاقهم ومداواة علل نفوسهم وبالله تعالى استعين وحسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل
