Paperback. Condition: New. Since man first looked towards the heavens, a great deal of effort has been put into trying to predict and explain the motions of the sun, moon and planets. Developments in man's understanding have been closely linked to progress in the mathematical sciences. Whole new areas of mathematics, such as trigonometry, were developed to aid astronomical calculations, and on numerous occasions throughout history, breakthroughs in astronomy have only been possible because of progress in mathematics. This book describes the theories of planetary motion that have been developed through the ages, beginning with the homocentric spheres of Eudoxus and ending with Einstein's general theory of relativity. It emphasizes the interaction between progress in astronomy and in mathematics, showing how the two have been inextricably linked since Babylonian times. This valuable text is accessible to a wide audience, from amateur astronomers to professional historians of astronomy.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This monograph explores the well-known problem of the solvability of polynomial equations.While equations up to the fourth degree are solvable, there are, as demonstrated by Niels Henrik Abel, no general algebraic formulas leading to the solution of equations of fifth or higher degree. Nevertheless, some fifth degree (quintic) equations are indeed solvable. The author describes how Galois theory can be used to identify those quintic equations that can be solved algebraically and then shows how the solutions can be found. This involves shining a light on some little known works dating back to the late 19th century, bringing new life to a classical problem.This book is a valuable resource for both students and researchers and it constitutes a good basis for a seminar on polynomials and the solvability of equations.…
