Introducción al análisis de datos experimentales

La matemática de los dioses y los algoritmos de los hombres es una prodigiosa síntesis científica y humanística que amplía la estela del imprescindible Breve historia del infinito. ¿Qué clase de identidad ha de atribuirse a los números? ¿Son entes reales o bien un invento con el que nuestra mente comprueba la existencia de algo que hay en el mundo? Dos preguntas capitales a las que los matemáticos tratan de dar respuesta desde hace siglos. Con admirable transparencia, Zellini examina estos interrogantes que ;como aquellos sobre la identidad de las cosas sujetas a metamorfosis o...

En esta introduccion al algebra, el autor parte de ideas sencillas de logica y de la notacion e ideas basicas de la teoria de conjuntos, para despues estudiar relaciones y funciones, conceptos fundamentales en matematicas. Finalmente, usando el lenguaje y las ideas anteriores, estudia las estructuras numericas: numeros naturales, enteros, racionales, reales y complejos. Es, sin duda, una de las mejores introducciones para estudiantes de los primeros anos de licenciatura.

This book presents conventions, mathematical concepts, definitions and applications central to the geometric modeling of solids, shells and wires (engineering jargon) embedded in 3D space. Currently, software is available for geometric modeling of technical or natural scenarios. However, the models built frequently fail in supporting the subsequent engineering computing and simulations. Only after repeated iterations and re-design, the models permit engineering / science simulations. This book endows the reader with the basic mathematical concepts needed to ensure that the geometric models...

Pedro Nunes played a major part in the discovery of the world by Portuguese mariners. In this book, his mathematical and scientific achievements are described, together with evidence on his life and friends arising from a collection of his Greek and Latin poems, and from religious notes he composed during his later years. An English version of his long-lost Portuguese algebra is included, as well as poems and letters by his friends translated into English for the first time. These discoveries came from a manuscript recently found in the municipal library of Evora, the perfectly preserved...
