Practical Mathematics for Beginners

Atlas of hemofiltration: a practical guide for beginners

In the second, richly illustrated part, the authors present nine haemofiltration devices. Although this section will soon be outdated because of the fast moving nature of the discipline, these brief reports form a vital aspect of the book. A few sentences are provided for each device regarding its performance and main characteristics, as is a list of major advantages and disadvantages. Hence, t...

Isolating glomeruli from mice: A practical approach for beginners

A modified procedure for Dynabead perfusion was developed to provide a practical methodology for obtaining large quantities of glomeruli from mice with a high purity. The glomeruli may be useful in exploring the mechanism behind glomerular diseases in conjunction with proteomics. The aim of the study was to save on costs and help researchers, particularly beginners, in the practical application...

Towards Practical Reflection for Formal Mathematics

We describe a design for a system for mathematical theory exploration that can be extended by implementing new reasoners using the logical input language of the system. Such new reasoners can be applied like the built-in reasoners, and it is possible to reason about them, e.g. proving their soundness, within the system. This is achieved in a practical and attractive way by adding reflection, i....

Quantum computing for beginners

The paper introduces the basic concepts and principles behind quantum computing and examines in detail Shor’s quantum algorithm for factoring very large numbers. Some basic methodological principles and guidelines for constructing quantum algorithms are stated. The aim is not to provide a formal exposition of quantum computing but to identify its novelty and potential use in tackling NP-hard pr...
