A Smoother Pebble: Mathematical Explorations
Oup Usa (2003)
Abstract
This book takes a novel look at the topics of school mathematics--arithmetic, geometry, algebra, and calculus. In this stroll on the mathematical seashore we hope to find, quoting Newton, "...a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary..." This book assembles a collection of mathematical pebbles that are not only curious but also important.Links
