Here, the authors invite young students to participate in challenging exercises in the areas of number theory and geometry that extend beyond basic mathematics in the school curriculum. The games coach students to experience the satisfaction and confidence that accompany mathematical investigation...
The monograph represents an outcome of the cross-fertilization between nonlinear functional analysis and mathematical modelling, and demonstrates its application to solid and contact mechanics. Based on authors’ results, it introduces a general fixed point principle and its application to various no..
This text covers the basic mathematics underlying the use of vectors and goes from fundamental concepts up to the level of first-year examination questions in engineering and physics. Material treated includes electromagnetic waves, alternating current and rotating fields...
Contains papers selected from the Wavelet Analysis and Multiresolution Methods Session of the AMS meeting held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This volume includes contributions which cover: construction, analysis, computation and application of multiwavelets; scaling vectors; non..
