Mathematica

Autore: David Bessis

Numero di pagine: 338

Una disciplina elitaria, astratta, che incute soggezione, quando non viscerale antipatia: cosí la matematica è generalmente percepita, come un freddo sapere logico riservato a pochi eletti in grado di esercitarlo. Le cose, tuttavia, stanno davvero cosí? Occorre davvero un talento innato per la logica per comprendere la matematica? O una simile percezione non è altro che un luogo comune, frutto di un’errata trasmissione del contenuto proprio di questo sapere? Nelle pagine di questo libro, David Bessis sfata questo luogo comune e mostra come la matematica riguardi un’attività umana che non ha nulla a che vedere con una disciplina logica (la logica concerne altri campi), ma è una vera e propria pratica, come lo yoga e le arti marziali, per le quali non è richiesto un talento innato. Del resto, è ciò che i grandissimi matematici vanno ripetendo dall’alba dei tempi, con quell’atteggiamento spesso scambiato per falsa modestia. Nessuna dote connaturata, ma soltanto una capacità molto spiccata di esercitare curiosità, immaginazione e intuizione. Doti che, com’è noto, sono alla base dei grandi momenti di apprendimento della vita: parlare, camminare, mangiare col...

Modern Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces with Mathematica, Second Edition

Autore: Mary Gray

Numero di pagine: 1094

The Second Edition combines a traditional approach with the symbolic manipulation abilities of Mathematica to explain and develop the classical theory of curves and surfaces. You will learn to reproduce and study interesting curves and surfaces - many more than are included in typical texts - using computer methods. By plotting geometric objects and studying the printed result, teachers and students can understand concepts geometrically and see the effect of changes in parameters. Modern Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces with Mathematica explains how to define and compute standard geometric functions, for example the curvature of curves, and presents a dialect of Mathematica for constructing new curves and surfaces from old. The book also explores how to apply techniques from analysis. Although the book makes extensive use of Mathematica, readers without access to that program can perform the calculations in the text by hand. While single- and multi-variable calculus, some linear algebra, and a few concepts of point set topology are needed to understand the theory, no computer or Mathematica skills are required to understand the concepts presented in the text. In fact,...
