A mathematical journey through the most fascinating problems of extremes and how to solve them What is the best way to photograph a speeding bullet? How can lost hikers find their way out of a forest? Why does light move through glass in the least amount
In the mid-eighteenth century, Swiss-born mathematician Leonhard Euler developed a formula so innovative and complex that it continues to inspire research, discussion, and even the occasional limerick. Dr. Euler's Fabulous Formula shares the fascinati
Today complex numbers have such widespread practical use--from electrical engineering to aeronautics--that few people would expect the story behind their derivation to be filled with adventure and enigma. In An Imaginary Tale, Paul Nahin tells the 2000-ye
An engrossing look at the history and importance of a centuries-old but still unanswered math problem For centuries, mathematicians the world over have tried, and failed, to solve the zeta-3 problem. Math genius Leonhard Euler attempted it in the 1700s an
How a modern radio works, told through mathematics, history, and selected puzzles The modern radio is a wonder, and behind that magic is mathematics. In The Mathematical Radio , Paul Nahin explains how radios work, deploying mathematics and historical dis

Using everyday computational power to tackle complexand seemingly unsolvablemath problems Confronted by a math problem of seemingly impenetrable difficulty, what can you do? In The Delicate Art of Brute Force , Paul Nahin shows how even if you cant solve
Whats the point of calculating definite integrals since you cant possibly do them all? What makes doing the specific integrals in this book of value arent the specific answers well obtain, but rather the methods well use in obtaining those answers; method
This book offers a concise introduction to the analysis of electrical transients aimed at students who have completed introductory circuits and freshman calculus courses. While it is written under the assumption that these students are encountering transi
