Beginning with one of the most remarkable ecological collapses of recent time, that of the passenger pigeon, Hadlock goes on to survey collapse processes across the entire spectrum of the natural and
"Graph Theory presents a natural, reader-friendly way to learn some of the essential ideas of graph theory starting from first principles. The format is similar to the companion text, Combinatorics: A
The quadratic formula for the solution of quadratic equations was discovered independently by scholars in many ancient cultures and is familiar to everyone. Less well known are formulas for solutions
This book presents a modern treatment of material traditionally covered in the sophomore-level course in ordinary differential equations. While this course is usually required for engineering students
This book is about the concept of mathematical maturity. Mathematical maturity is central to a mathematics education. The goal of a mathematics education is to transform the student from someone who t
The focus in this book is on projective geometry and its roots in 'classical geometry', a pursuit which the authors feel has been largely neglected in the abstract-oriented mathematics of the twentiet
With its hearty history and its many triumphs in the study of everything from the fundamentals of nature to DNA, differential geometry is not an ordinary branch of mathematics. Oprea (mathematics, Cle
Sandifer has been studying Euler for decades and is one of the world's leading experts on his work. This volume is the second collection of Sandifer's “How Euler Did It” columns. Each is a jewel of hi
