The Best Writing on Mathematics 2014 (The Best Writing on Mathematics, 5) 2014 ed.th Edition

Another excellent book in this remarkable series; I bought them every year. This one is just as varied and intriguing as the previous four, only more voluminous and containing an excellent section with color figures (a first for the series).Exe

This book can be read with pleasure from everyone has a good knowledge of actual mathematical questions. Particularly Pitici poses the relations between algebra and geometry, very useful for the applications to physics and to codex theory. The explication is no very difficult, but not obvious, because it follows proofs and trials for the resolution of important problems. The method is related to those facts more than to analysis or probability, for a choice of Pitici who has a particular attention for this type of mathematical facts. All that produces also applications in informatics, fashion, fractals theory.

Been a long time ago I read this, but I know it didn't disappoint me. Etched in memory with positive impressions.

Bought for one of my sons who has really enjoyed it and looks forward to the 2015 edition.

This is an absolute must for anyone wanting to keep up with current mathematics on any level.

Great gift for my mathematics-teaching daughter!

I like this series!

This is a series that I have enjoyed in the past. This time around, though, I just found the essays dull in general.

Great!

Nice to read some literary prose about Maths

Great read.

Una selezione di articoli di matematica.Il volume è del 2014.La serie copre gli anni 2010-2021.Tra gli articoli di questo volume segnalo:• On Unsettleable Arithmetical Problema (J. H. Conway).• Why Do We Perceive Logarithmically? (Varshney & Sun).• The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra for Artists (Kalantari & Torrence).• Food for (Mathematical) Thought (P. Dunham).• Twenty-Five Analogies for Explaining Statistical Concepts (Behare & Grima &Lluís).Ma c'è n'è per tutti i gusti...matematici.
