Chaos and fractals : New frontiers of science
Covers the central ideas and concepts of chaos and fractals as well as many related topics including: the Mandelbrot set, Julia sets, cellular automata, L-systems, percolation and strange attractors.
Matematica si parte! : Nozioni di base ed esercizi per il primo anno di Ingegneria = Mathematics, let's go! : Basics and exercises for the first year of Engineering
This manual has been created to allow future engineering students to successfully face their studies. Some basic concepts in mathematics are presented, generally already learned before entering the University. It has been found that not all students have a complete mastery of this set of fundamental notions: therefore this manual provides useful support, in the form of both exercises and theoretical notions. The future student will be able to choose the chapters that interest him most, in order to verify his ability to solve problems such as "Review problems", using his own reasoning skills and knowledge.
Matematica e cultura 2007 = Mathematics and culture 2007
We talk about theater even if the page cannot tell about Bustric's unforgettable show. And about art, and applied arts, such as geometric structure and spiritual meaning of the Zen garden of Ryoanji in Kyoto, and of soap bubbles, which are almost never lacking in Venetian encounters, Four-dimensional bubbles and gigantic bubbles that serve as a model for the Olympic swimming pool in Bejing
La correspondance entre Henri Poincaré et les physiciens, chimistes et ingénieurs = The correspondence between Henri Poincaré and physicists, chemists and engineers
Cosmic microwave background radiation is the residue of the great heat following the Big Bang. A tenuous sign, over 13 billion years old, in which the answers to many of the questions about the nature of our Universe are hidden. Discovered by chance in 1964, in the last forty years this fossil trace of the origins of the Cosmos has been explored with every available means. Two Nobel Prizes in physics have already been awarded for research involving it, the last in 2006 for the results of the COBE satellite. Much of the information encoded in the cosmic background radiation was impressed by the superimposition of acoustic waves present in the early Universe: a "music" of the Big Bang, which cosmologists have tried for years to reconstruct, using techniques similar to those that allow to distinguish the sound of different musical instruments. Only recently have the first notes of this extraordinary cosmic symphony finally been revealed, but the investigation is not over yet. This book illustrates, with a language suitable even for non-specialists, the theories, observations and discoveries that have brought cosmology into a new era.
Calcolo Scientifico : Esercizi e problemi risolti con MATLAB e Octave = Scientific computing : exercises and problems solved with MATLAB and Octave
For the short courses of the new system of the Faculties of Engineering and Sciences. It deals with all the typical topics of Numerical Mathematics, ranging from the problem of approximating a function, to the computation of its zeros, its derivatives and its definite integral up to the approximate solution of ordinary differential equations and limit problems.
Approval Voting
The book proposes a compelling way to elect some 500,000 officials in public elections. After a generation of discussion and debate on the subject, the authors remain convinced that Approval Voting is as relevant today.
Analisi matematica II : Teoria ed esercizi con complementi in rete = Mathematical analysis 2 : Theory and exercises with online complements
Intends to support a second teaching of Mathematical Analysis according to the principles of the new Didactic Regulations. It is especially designed for those study courses (such as Engineering, Computer Science, Physics) in which the mathematical tool is a significant part of the training. The fundamental concepts and methods of the differential and integral calculus of several variables, the series of functions and the ordinary differential equations are presented with the primary objective of training the student in their operational but critical use. The didactic setting of the text follows the one used for ANALYSIS I. The method of presentation of the arguments allows a flexible and modular use of the text, in order to respond to the various possible didactic choices in the organization of a Mathematical Analysis course.
Analisi matematica I : Teoria ed esercizi con complementi in rete = Mathematical analysis I : Theory and exercises with online complements
Intends to support a first teaching of Mathematical Analysis according to the principles of the new Didactic Regulations. It is especially designed for Engineering, Computer Science, Physics. The text has three different levels of reading. An essential level allows the student to grasp the essential concepts of the subject and to familiarize himself with the related calculation techniques. An intermediate level provides justifications for the main findings and enriches the presentation with useful observations and complements. A third level of reading, based on numerous references to a virtual text available online, allows the more motivated and interested student to deepen his or her preparation on the subject. Numerous examples and exercises with solutions complete the text. The captivating 2-color graphics make this text a fundamental point of reference for the study of the discipline.
