Fewnomials (Translations of Mathematical Monographs) By A. G. Khovanskii
Publisher: American Mathematical Society 1991-06-06 | 139 Pages | ISBN: 0821845470 | PDF | 8 MB
The ideology of the theory of fewnomials is the following: real varieties defined by ``simple,'' not cumbersome, systems of equations should have a ``simple'' topology. One of the results of the theory is a real transcendental analogue of the Bezout theorem: for a large class of systems of $k$ transcendental equations in $k$ real variables, the number of roots is finite and can be explicitly estimated from above via the ``complexity'' of the system...

Before The Fall-Out - From Marie Curie to Hiroshima by Diana Preston
Publisher: Berkley Trade | Date: March 2006 | ISBN: 0425207897 | Pages: 400 | siPDF in RAR | 9 mb
From Publishers Weekly
Nuclear weapons have been an immutable aspect of the world for the past 60 years. The story of how they came to be, and the race between the Allied and Axis nations to be the first to harness the destructive power of the atom, is wonderfully told by British historian Preston (A First Rate Tragedy; Lusitania; etc.). She weaves together history, physics, politics and military strategies to convey both the monumental scientific achievement the bomb represented and, at the same time, the ethical and humanitarian implications of creating such a wild power. Preston is an impeccable researcher with a gift for choosing small details that illuminate and humanize the bomb's world-changing effects. She quotes a doctor in Hiroshima saying the mass of burned flesh around him smelled like "dried squid when it is grilled--the squid we like so much to eat"; elsewhere, Preston relates that the potential explosive effect of a chain-reaction atomic bomb was first calculated on the back of a napkin. This is a story with a reservoir of events heroic and horrible and a fabulous cast of characters that includes scientists Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer, Edward Teller and Hans Bethe, and world leaders Roosevelt, Churchill, Truman, Stalin, Emperor Hirohito and Hitler. Preston presents each with rare insight and expertise. But her rarer achievement is to capture not only the work of making the bomb with its myriad ramifications for humankind, but also the ineffably human qualities--curiosity, ambition, fear, patriotism--that animated the participants in the great drama. 50 b&w illus.

History of the Science-Fiction Magazine Vol 03 - Gateways to Forever by Mike Ashley
Publisher: Liverpool University Press | Date: May 2007 | ISBN: 1846310032 | Pages: 528 | siPDF in RAR | 77 mb
Review
"The repercussions of Campbell''s death provide merely one context for Ashley''s study, which addresses all the major influences on the genre. As such, it is both extraordinary in scope and meticulous in detail, given the range of magazines and stories described. Despite Ashley''s own occasionally subjective assertions and the sometimes partisan opinions of cited writers and critics, Gateways is relentlessly informative. . . . Ashley should be congratulated for his achievement. He has rendered material that might have read like a list into a rich and vibrant history. Indeed, his engaging style reawakens the very essence of science fiction: the sense of wonder."--Times Higher Education Supplement (Times Higher Education Supplement ) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession by Daniel J. Levitin
Publisher: Plume/Penguin (August 28, 2007) | ISBN: 0452288525 | Pages: 322 | PDF | 2 MB
Think of a song that resonates deep down in your being. Now imagine sitting down with someone who was there when the song was recorded and can tell you how that series of sounds was committed to tape, and who can also explain why that particular combination of rhythms, timbres and pitches has lodged in your memory, making your pulse race and your heart swell every time you hear it. Remarkably, Levitin does all this and more, interrogating the basic nature of hearing and of music making (this is likely the only book whose jacket sports blurbs from both Oliver Sacks and Stevie Wonder), without losing an affectionate appreciation for the songs he's reducing to neural impulses. Levitin is the ideal guide to this material: he enjoyed a successful career as a rock musician and studio producer before turning to cognitive neuroscience, earning a Ph.D. and becoming a top researcher into how our brains interpret music. Though the book starts off a little dryly (the first chapter is a crash course in music theory), Levitin's snappy prose and relaxed style quickly win one over and will leave readers thinking about the contents of their iPods in an entirely new way.

There are few more unsettling philosophical questions than this: What happens in attempts to reduce some properties to some other more fundamental properties? Reflection on this question inevitably touches on very deep issues about ourselves, our own interactions with the world and each other, and our very understanding of what there is and what goes on around us....

This book is a welcome and refreshing antidote to the descending spiral of instrumentality. It is offered to those students and those teachers who know that there is more to learning mathematics than completing homework mechanically. It is consistent with the view put forward by A. Watson and J. Mason in “Mathematics as a Constructive Activity: The Role of Learner- Generated Examples” (Mahwah: Erlbaum, 2005) that athematics is a constructive activity, and that a central aspect of learning mathematics is enriching the space of examples which come to mind and to which you have access when you encounter a technical term...
