About this title

Synopsis

It isn't that they can't see the solution. It is Approach your problems from the right end and begin with the answers. Then one day, that they can't see the problem. perhaps you will find the final question. O. K. Chesterton. The Scandal of Father 'The Hermit Clad in Crane Feathers' in R. Brown 'The point of a Pin'. van Oulik's The Chinese Maze Murders. Growing specialization and diversification have brought a host of monographs and textbooks or increasingly specialized topics. However, the "tree" of knowledg~ of mathematics and related fields does not grow only by putting forth new branches. It also �happens, quite often in fact, that branches which were thought to be completely disparate are suddenly seen to be related. Further, the ~d and level of sophistication of mathematics applied in various sciences has changed drastically in recent years: measure theory is used (non-trivially) in regional and theoretical economics; algebraic geometry interacts with physics; the Minkowsky lemma, coding theory and the structure of water meet one another in packing and covering theory; quantum fields, crystal defects and mathematical programming profit from homotopy theory; Lie algebras are relevant to filtering; and prediction and electrical engineering can use Stein spaces. And in addition to this there are such new emerging subdisciplines as "experimental mathematics", "CFD", "completely integrable systems", "chaos, synergetics and large-scale order", which are almost impossible to fit into the existing classification schemes. They draw upon widely different sections of mathematics.

Store Description

ByrdHouse Books is an woman-owned, independently-run bookstore based in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. For almost two decades, we have specialized in used, out-of-print, and collectible books across a wide range of subjects, including local interest, vintage genre fiction, genealogy curiosities, academic and technical texts, religious and devotional works, and art books. Every book in our inventory is examined and described individually, not auto-generated from a database. We verify edition points and printing details where they matter, note signatures and inscriptions when present, and write condition descriptions that reflect exactly what you?ll receive. If a book has a flaw, we?ll tell you. If it?s something genuinely notable, such as a true first printing, a scarce small-press title, or an author-signed copy, we?ll tell you that too. We have a particular fondness for the long tail: books that don?t move quickly, but matter enormously to the one reader or researcher who?s been searching for them. If you?ve found something obscure in our shop, there?s a good chance we?re one of very few sellers who carry it. Books are packed with care for safe transit, and questions about condition, edition, or provenance are always welcome before you buy. Just reach out. Thank you for supporting independent bookselling.
