Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In his famous Wager, Blaise Pascal (162362) offers the reader an argument that it is rational to strive to believe in God. Philosophical debates about this classic argument have continued until our own times. This volume provides a comprehensive examination of Pascal's Wager, including its theological framework, its place in the history of philosophy, and its importance to contemporary decision theory. The volume starts with a valuable primer on infinity and decision theory for students and non-specialists. A sequence of chapters then examines topics including the Wager's underlying theology, its influence on later philosophical figures, and contemporary analyses of the Wager including Alan Hajek's challenge to its validity, the many gods objection, and the ethics of belief. The final five chapters explore various ways in which the Wager has inspired contemporary decision theory, including questions related to infinite utility, imprecise probabilities, and infinitesimals. This volume offers a comprehensive examination of Pascal's Wager, including its theological framework, its place in the history of philosophy, and its importance to contemporary decision theory. This is the most complete and up to date collection on one of the most famous arguments in all of philosophy. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: New. A rigorous introduction to calculus in vector spaces The concepts and theorems of advanced calculus combined with related computational methods are essential to understanding nearly all areas of quantitative science. Analysis in Vector Spaces presents the central results of this classic subject through rigorous arguments, discussions, and examples. The book aims to cultivate not only knowledge of the major theoretical results, but also the geometric intuition needed for both mathematical problem-solving and modeling in the formal sciences. The authors begin with an outline of key concepts, terminology, and notation and also provide a basic introduction to set theory, the properties of real numbers, and a review of linear algebra. An elegant approach to eigenvector problems and the spectral theorem sets the stage for later results on volume and integration. Subsequent chapters present the major results of differential and integral calculus of several variables as well as the theory of manifolds. Additional topical coverage includes: Sets and functionsReal numbersVector functionsNormed vector spacesFirst- and higher-order derivativesDiffeomorphisms and manifoldsMultiple integralsIntegration on manifoldsStokes' theoremBasic point set topology Numerous examples and exercises are provided in each chapter to reinforce new concepts and to illustrate how results can be applied to additional problems. Furthermore, proofs and examples are presented in a clear style that emphasizes the underlying intuitive ideas. Counterexamples are provided throughout the book to warn against possible mistakes, and extensive appendices outline the construction of real numbers, include a fundamental result about dimension, and present general results about determinants. Assuming only a fundamental understanding of linear algebra and single variable calculus, Analysis in Vector Spaces is an excellent book for a second course in analysis for mathematics, physics, computer science, and engineering majors at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It also serves as a valuable reference for further study in any discipline that requires a firm understanding of mathematical techniques and concepts.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive history of scientific ballooning, from its humble beginnings to its current applications. It traces the development of weather forecasting techniques and the use of balloons in observing atmospheric phenomena. The book also discusses the role of international collaboration in this field and proposes measures to advance the discipline. Through the author's personal experiences as a delegate to the 1904 International Scientific Ballooning Congress in Saint Petersburg, the book provides a captivating account of this groundbreaking event and insights into the motivations and ambitions of its participants. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
