Riferimento

In mathematics, you see things like “A Geometric Approach” so often without any real reason to back up these texts’ named approaches more than their peers’ generic takes. This is not the case with this book. The emphasis is on intuition but the author does not shy away from advanced concepts. The many diagrams and graphs have practical reasons to be there as they help with understanding. The examples are given to motivate the reader to do a great job at it. There are also some proofs whenever the proof is not very big. There are also proofs when the proof directly helps with the understanding. The writing style is also great, mixing a formal type of writing with a more conversational style.
It is of great use to physicists, engineers, and mathematicians to understand and reinforce one’s intuition behind these concepts (suitable for MA I and MA II students).

Also, the author states in the preface that the Feynman Lectures were a great influence due to the way that Feynman explained everything! So, this is a strong indication of an author trying(and succeeding) to write a book on mathematics using that very powerful way of thinking and explaining.

Complex Analysis

Proposta del 15 dicembre 2023
Titolo: Complex Analysis
Autori: Lars Valerian Ahlfors

Anno pubbl.: 2021
ISBN: 9781470467678
Proposto a: BCI

Riferimento

This is an immortal masterpiece in complex analysis that has been at its peak since it was first published in 1953. It contains all the essential contents of complex analysis from the undergraduate to the graduate school. There is a tendency to explain qualitatively rather than formulas, which makes it much easier for students without strong background in analysis to grasp the essence of complex analysis. American Mathematical Society (AMS) made its reprint. In the reprint, many of the modifications have been made to fit the standard terminology of modern mathematics and make it more readable for the modern readers.

Mathematical Proofs

Proposta del 8 dicembre 2023
Titolo: Mathematical Proofs
Autori: Gary Chartrand, Ping Zhang, Albert Polimeni
Editore: Pearson
Anno pubbl.: 2017-10-31
ISBN: 9780134840475
Proposto a: BCI

Ref.

This text serves as a comprehensive introduction to proof techniques, guiding readers through the analysis and creation of mathematically sound and well-articulated proofs. Its student-friendly approach ensures a solid grasp of fundamental topics such as relations, functions, and set cardinalities. Additionally, the book offers optional explorations into areas like number theory, combinatorics, and calculus. Recognizing the often challenging transition Politecnico students face from high school mathematics to university-level proof-based analysis, this resource aims to fill a critical gap. Its clear presentation and structured content make it a valuable addition, providing much-needed support for students navigating this significant academic shift. Adequate promotion to the student body would enhance its benefit.

Editore: Academic Press
Anno pubbl.: 2013
ISBN: 9780123820105
Proposto a: BCI

Ref.

This comprehensive work delves into the realms of differential equations, dynamical systems, and chaos theory, offering valuable insights for students and researchers in engineering disciplines. The book’s clarity and depth make it a beneficial resource for those studying nonlinear dynamics and related topics. I believe that its inclusion would enhance the library’s resources, providing valuable content for academic pursuits in the field, especially for students studying dynamical systems and differential equations. Moreover, one of the authors, Stephen Smale, is a field medalist.
