Book Review: Cryptonomicon, Volume 46, Number 11
Of course, cryptography is necessary for a project such as the data haven, and, as the title would imply, discussions of codes and ciphers run throughout the book. Mathematicians with a background in cryptanalysis might be especially interested in a new output-feedback mode stream cipher formally introduced in this book for the first time. The code is described in greater detail in an appendix ...
متن کاملBook Review: Mathematics Elsewhere: An Exploration of Ideas Across Cultures, Volume 50, Number 5
Marcia Ascher's new book, Mathematics Elsewhere , is certain to stimulate discussion of the nature of mathematical ideas and how they find their expression.

Although I found the book very interesting and informative...

متن کاملBook Review: Mathematical Reasoning: Analogies, Metaphors, and Images, Volume 46, Number 5
In reading this book then for what it might tell us about mathematical reasoning, I would advise the reader to go quickly past the introduction. Its main point is to try to explain what might be meant by analogy, metaphor, and imagery, but it does not succeed very well. There is a definition of analogy (p. 5) and also of metaphor (p. 7). These two mechanisms for thinking are supposed to be diff...
