Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Why do we need the real numbers? How should we construct them? These questions arose in the nineteenth century, along with the ideas and techniques needed to address them. Nowadays it is commonplace for apprentice mathematicians to hear 'we shall assume the standard properties of the real numbers' as part of their training. But exactly what are those properties? And why can we assume them? This book is clearly and entertainingly written for those students, with historical asides and exercises to foster understanding. Starting with the natural (counting) numbers and then looking at the rational numbers (fractions) and negative numbers, the author builds to a careful construction of the real numbers followed by the complex numbers, leaving the reader fully equipped with all the number systems required by modern mathematical analysis. Additional chapters on polynomials and quarternions provide further context for any reader wanting to delve deeper. Nowadays it is commonplace for apprentice mathematicians to hear 'we shall assume the standard properties of the real numbers' as part of their training. But exactly what are those properties? And why can we assume them? This book is clearly and entertainingly written for anyone wanting to know the answers.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Dieses Buch wendet sich zuallererst an intelligente Schueler ab 14 Jahren sowie an Studienanfaenger, die sich fuer Mathematik interessieren und etwas mehr als die Anfangsgruende dieser Wissenschaft kennenlernen moechten. Es gibt inzwischen mehrere Buecher, die eine aehnliche Zielstellung verfolgen. Besonders gern erinnere ich mich an das Werk Vom Einmaleins zum Integral von Colerus, das ich in meiner Kindheit las. Es beginnt mit der folgenden entschiedenen Feststellung: Die Mathematik ist eine Mausefalle. Wer einmal in dieser Falle gefangen sitzt, findet selten den Ausgang, der zurueck in seinen vormathematischen Seelenzustand leitet. ([49], S. 7) Einige dieser Buecher sind im Anhang zusammengestellt und kommen tiert. Tatsaechlich ist das Unternehmen aber so lohnenswert und die Anzahl der schon vorhandenen Buecher doch so begrenzt, dass ich mich nicht scheue, ihnen ein weiteres hinzuzufuegen. An zahlreichen amerikanischen Universitaeten gibt es Vorlesungen, die gemeinhin oder auch offiziell als ,Mathematik fuer Schoengeister'' firmieren. Dieser Kategorie ist das vorliegende Buch nicht zuzuordnen. Statt dessen soll es sich um eine ,Mathematik fuer Mathematiker'' handeln, fuer Mathema tiker freilich, die noch sehr wenig von der Mathematik verstehen. Weshalb aber sollte nicht der eine oder andere von ihnen eines Tages den Autor dieses 1 Buches durch seine Vorlesungen in Staunen versetzen? Ich hoffe, dass auch meine Mathematikerkollegen Freude an dem Werk haben werden, und ich wuerde mir wuenschen, dass auch andere Leser, bei denen die Wertschaetzung fuer die Mathematik staerker als die Furcht vor ihr ist, Gefallen an ihm finden moegen. Dieses Buch wendet sich zuallererst an intelligente Schueler ab 14 Jahren sowie an Studienanfaenger, die sich fuer Mathematik interessieren und etwas mehr als die Anfangsgruende dieser Wissenschaft kennenlernen moechten.
