A. W. F. Edwards
Paperback - $50.95
"A fascinating book... giving new insights into the early history of probability theory and combinatorics, and incidentally providing much stimulating material for teachers of mathematics." -- International Statistical Institute Review
Fermat's Last Theorem : A Genetic Introduction to Algebraic Number Theory
Harold M. Edwards
Paperback - $107.95
This book is an introduction to algebraic number theory via the famous problem of "Fermat's Last Theorem." The exposition follows the historical development of the problem, beginning with the work of Fermat and ending with Kummer's theory of "ideal" ...
Real Numbers, Generalizations of the Reals, and Theories of Continua
P. Ehrlich
Hardcover - $483.95
Since their appearance in the late 19th century, the Cantor--Dedekind theory of real numbers and philosophy of the continuum have emerged as pillars of standard mathematical philosophy. On the other hand, this period also witnessed the emergence of a ...
Duality in Analytic Number Theory
P. D. T. A. Elliott
Hardcover - $254.95
In this stimulating book, Elliott demonstrates a method and a motivating philosophy that combine to cohere a large part of analytic number theory, including the hitherto nebulous study of arithmetic functions. Besides its application, the book also i ...
Codes on Euclidean Spheres
Thomas Ericson
Hardcover - $348.95
Codes on Euclidean spheres are often referred to as spherical codes. They are of interest from mathematical, physical and engineering points of view. Mathematically the topic belongs to the realm of algebraic combinatorics, with close connections to ...
