Book 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...
متن کاملBook Review: The Mathematical Explorer: An Interactive Mathematics Book, Volume 49, Number 6
Though electronic mathematical publishing is still in its infancy, the technology offers tantalizing possibilities. Certainly, TEX has democratized the way mathematical texts are produced, while PostScript and Adobe Acrobat, combined with the Internet, have given mathematicians more control over the distribution of their printed works. In spite of these revolutions, the format and content of wh...
متن کامل296 Recent Mathematical Tables Recent Mathematical Tables
In several problems considered in the Antenna Laboratory, Cambridge, Mass., the functions fi(x) = x tan * and/2(ac) = x tanh x have arisen. Tables of these functions with the required range, interval of argument, and number of significant figures apparently do not exist; consequently, such tables were computed specifically to satisfy these needs. They were prepared in the form of reports with t...
متن کاملBook Review: Mathematical Linguistics by Kornai, András
For readers of traditional textbooks such as that of Partee, ter Meulen, and Wall (1990), the term 'mathematical linguistics' denotes a rather narrowly circumscribed set of issues including automata theory, set theory, and lambda calculus, with maybe a little formal language theory thrown in. Kornai's contribution is refreshingly different in that he treats, in this relatively compact volume, p...
متن کاملBook 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 ...
