Here are the stories of four mathematical adventures, including the Bernoulli numbers as the passage between discrete and continuous phenomena, the search for numerical solutions to equations throughout time, the discovery of curvature and geometric space, and the quest for patterns in prime numbers. Each story is told through the words of the pioneers of mathematical thought. Particular advantages of the historical approach include providing context to mathematical inquiry, perspective to proposed conceptual solutions, and a glimpse into the direction research has taken. The text is ideal for an undergraduate seminar, independent reading, or a capstone course, and offers a wealth of student exercises with a prerequisite of at most multivariable calculus. 0aMATHEMATICS. 0aALGORITHMS. 0aGLOBAL DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY. 0aMATHEMATICS_{DOLLAR}XHISTORY. 0aNUMBER THEORY.14aMATHEMATICS.24aHISTORY OF MATHEMATICS.24aALGORITHMS.24aDIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY.24aNUMBER THEORY.1 aLodder, Jerry.eauthor.1 aLaubenbacher, Reinhard.eauthor.1 aPengelley, David.eauthor.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z9780387330617 0aUndergraduate Texts in Mathematics,x0172-605640uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-33062-4zVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY
