Book Review: Mathematics for Physicists
A book review on Mathematics for Physicists This new book by B. R. Martin and G. Shaw [1] is part of the Manchester Physics Series, a long-established set of elementary texbooks aimed primarily at providing undergraduate physics students (but also students in other physical sciences, such as astronomy, chemistry, earth and planetary science, etc.) with relatively short, self-contained courses o...
متن کاملBook review: Summing up mathematics teacher education
This review examines two recent collective publications that set out to survey and synthesise knowledge in the field of mathematics teacher education. Both allude to the timeliness of such an enterprise given the growth and institutionalisation of research in this field since the early to mid 1990s. They feature an extensive (and often overlapping) authorship drawn from active researchers in th...
متن کاملBook Review: What Is Mathematics, Really?, Volume 46, Number 9
historically evolved, and intelligible only in a social context.” Hersh describes some of the standard issues of philosophy of mathematics, such as existence of finite and infinite mathematical entities, intuition, proof, and truth, and tries to show that his philosophy deals with these issues better than do the philosophies he rejects. Although I found the book very interesting and informative...
متن کاملBook Review... Casting Light on the Other: Women in Mathematics
In Women in Mathematics: The Addition of Difference, Henrion (1997) attempted to understand the culture of the mathematical community and its associated set of beliefs and norms. In particular, her intent was to identify and examine how the culture of the mathematical community influences women who choose to work in it. In order to highlight women's experiences in mathematics and to capture the...
متن کاملBook Review: Inevitable Randomness in Discrete Mathematics by József Beck
The beauty and utility of randomness is more than matched by its mysteries. How can we tell if a putative source of randomness (such as the frequency of the emission of electrons from a decaying radioactive material) is truly random? Indeed, how does one define randomness? Starting from the 17th century work of Pascal and Fermat, and spurred on by the 20th century axiomatic approaches of S. N. ...
