This interactive electronic book is organised into several separate computer files, each called a Maple worksheet; each worksheet contains executable commands and assignments in a sequence, with interspersed text to explain their purposes and effects, but particularly to introduce mathematical concepts and principles and to implement the mathematical operations. These assignments and commands a...

Though the truths of logic and pure mathematics are objective and independent of any contingent facts or laws of nature, our knowledge of these truths depends entirely on our knowledge of the laws of physics. Recent progress in the quantum theory of computation has provided practical instances of this, and forces us to abandon the classical view that computation, and hence mathematical proof, a...

The Mathematics Software Bus is a software environment for combining heterogeneous systems performing any kind of mathematical computation. Such an environment will provide combinations of graphics, editing and computation tools through interfaces to already existing powerful software by flexible and powerful semantically integration. Communication and cooperation mechanisms for logical and sym...
