Strengthen your trigonometry skills and grades with this powerful
and simple tool for reviewing and referencing the most important
core concepts. Quickly find that answer you need in 6 laminated
pages rather than flipping through a large book. Used in the fields
of engineering, medical imaging, geography, land surveying, and
video game development, to name a few, you may find that
trigonometry is here to stay in your career life. Keep this tool by
your side and through it all for that extra memory jolt when you
need it. Suggested uses: Quick Reference -- instead of digging into
a large book to find a core answer you need while studying, use the
guide to reinforce quickly and repeatedly; Memory -- refreshing
your memory repeatedly is a foundation of studying, have the core
labs handy so you can focus on the larger picture.

Beginning graduate students in mathematical sciences and related
areas in physical and computer sciences and engineering are
expected to be familiar with a daunting breadth of mathematics, but
few have such a background. This bestselling book helps students
fill in the gaps in their knowledge. Thomas A. Garrity explains the
basic points and a few key results of all the most important
undergraduate topics in mathematics, emphasizing the intuitions
behind the subject. The explanations are accompanied by numerous
examples, exercises and suggestions for further reading that allow
the reader to test and develop their understanding of these core
topics. Featuring four new chapters and many other improvements,
this second edition of All the Math You Missed is an essential
resource for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate
students who need to learn some serious mathematics quickly.
Understanding maths has never been easier. Combining bold, elegant
graphics with easy-to-understand text, Simply Maths is the perfect
introduction to the subject for those who are short of time but
hungry for knowledge. Covering more than 90 key mathematical
concepts from prime numbers and fractions to quadratic equations
and probability experiments, each pared-back, single-page entry
explains the concept more clearly than ever before. Organized by
major themes - number theory and systems; calculations; geometry;
algebra; graphs; ratio and proportion; measurement; probability and
statistics; and calculus - entries explain the essentials of each
key mathematical theory with simple clarity and for ease of
understanding. Whether you are studying maths at school or college,
or simply want a jargon-free overview of the subject, this
indispensable guide is packed with everything you need to
understand the basics quickly and easily.
Please note that this Floris Books edition has been revised for UK
and European notation, language and metric systems. From the early
peoples who marvelled at the geometry of nature -- the beehive and
bird's nest -- to ancient civilisations who questioned beautiful
geometric forms and asked 'why?', the story of geometry spans
thousands of years. Using only three simple tools -- the string,
the straight-edge and the shadow -- human beings revealed the basic
principles and constructions of elementary geometry. Weaving
history and legend, this fascinating book reconstructs the
discoveries of mathematics's most famous figures. Through
illustrations and diagrams, readers are able to follow the
reasoning that lead to an ingenious proof of the Pythagorean
theorem, an appreciation of the significance of the Golden Mean in
art and architecture, or the construction of the five regular
solids. This insightful and engaging book makes geometry accessible
to everyone. Readers will be fascinated with how the knowledge and
wisdom of so many cultures helped shape our civilisation today.
String, Straight-edge and Shadow is also a useful and inspiring
book for those teaching geometry in Steiner-Waldorf classrooms.
Symmetry is all around us. Of fundamental significance to the
way we interpret the world, this unique, pervasive phenomenon
indicates a dynamic relationship between objects. Combining a rich
historical narrative with his own personal journey as a
mathematician, Marcus du Sautoy takes a unique look into the
mathematical mind as he explores deep conjectures about symmetry
and brings us face-to-face with the oddball mathematicians, both
past and present, who have battled to understand symmetry's elusive
qualities.
MESH ist ein mathematisches Video ber vielfl chige Netzwerke und
ihre Rolle in der Geometrie, der Numerik und der Computergraphik.
