Six Sources of Collapse
Charles Hadlock
n Spectrum
Six Sources of Collapse is a wonderful book in
numerous ways. Chance, group behavior,
evolutionary processes, instability, nonlinearity,
and networks are adroitly brought under the
same roof and applied to a stunning range of
important examples, from the collapse of ancient
civilizations to the collapse of financial markets.
Lucid engaging primers in relevant areas of
mathematicsincluding non-linear differential
equations, network theory, and extreme value statisticsare presented with an
unpretentious informality attainable only by those with the deepest command.
In effect, Hadlock offers both the call to arms and the armamentarium for a
unified theory of collapse. An important scientific and pedagogical contribution.
Professor Joshua M. Epstein, Director of the Center for Advanced
Modeling in the Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences,
Johns Hopkins University, and External Professor, Santa Fe Institute
Charles Hadlock's engaging book provides a mathematical framework for
understanding all varieties of collapsethat of civilizations caused by
environmental factors or destructive wars, companies caused by competition or
poor management, and humans infected by contagious diseases. It inspires one
to think about the reasons for collapse (Hadlock suggests six sources), and their
mathematical basis, thereby providing guidance to the development of detailed,
more specific models.
Professor Steven Brams, Professor of Politics, New York University
Beginning with one of the most remarkable ecological collapses of recent time,
that of the passenger pigeon, Hadlock goes on to survey collapse processes
across the entire spectrum of the natural and man-made world. He takes us
through extreme weather events, technological disasters, evolutionary
processes, crashing markets and companies, the chaotic nature of Earth's orbit,
revolutionary political change, the spread and elimination of disease, and many
other fascinating cases. His key thesis is that one or more of six fundamental
dynamics consistently show up across this wide range. These "six sources of
collapse" can all be best described and investigated using fundamental
mathematical concepts. They include low probability events, group dynamics,
evolutionary games, instability, nonlinearity, and network effects, all of which are
explained in readily understandable terms.
Almost the entirety of the book can be understood by readers with a minimal
mathematical background, but even professional mathematicians are likely to get
rich insights from the range of examples. The author tells his story with a warmly
personal tone and weaves in many of his own experiences, whether from his
consulting career of racing around the world trying to head off industrial disasters
to his story of watching collapse after collapse in the evolution of an ecosystem
on his New Hampshire farm. Creative teachers could use this book for anything
from a liberal arts math course to a senior capstone seminar, and one reviewer
suggested that it should be required reading for any mathematics graduate
student heading off into a teaching career. This book will also be of interest to
readers in the fields under discussion, such as business, engineering, ecology,
political science, and others.

New Horizons in Geometry
Tom M. Apostol &
Mamikon A. Mnatsakanian
n Dolciani
In a remarkable display of mathematical
versatility and imagination, the authors present
us with a wealth of geometrical gems. These
beautiful and often surprising results deal with a
multitude of geometric forms, their
interrelationships, and in many cases, their
connection with patterns underlying the laws
of nature.
Don Chakerian
Readers of New Horizons in Geometry are in for a great ride in the spirit of
Archimedes through a beautiful geometrical landscape that will give you
considerable pleasure and a heightened appreciation for a wonderful subject.
Don Albers, former Director of MAA Publications
New Horizons in Geometry represents the fruits of 15 years of work in geometry
by a remarkable team of prize-winning authorsTom Apostol and Mamikon
Mnatsakanian. It serves as a capstone to an amazing collaboration. Apostol and
Mamikon provide fresh and powerful insights into geometry that requires only a
modest background in mathematics. Using new and intuitively rich methods, they
give beautifully illustrated proofs of results, the majority of which are new, and
frequently develop extensions of familiar theorems that are often surprising and
sometimes astounding. It is mathematical exposition of the highest order.
The hundreds of full color illustrations by Mamikon are visually enticing and
provide great motivation to read further and savor the wonderful results. Lengths,
areas, and volumes of curves, surfaces, and solids are explored from a visually
captivating perspective. It is an understatement to say that Apostol and Mamikon
have breathed new life into geometry.

Bridge to Abstract
Mathematics
Ralph W. Oberste-Vorth,
Aristides Mouzakitis, &
Bonita A. Lawrence
n MAA Textbooks
Bridge to Abstract Mathematics will prepare
the mathematical novice to explore the universe
of abstract mathematics. Mathematics is a
science that concerns theorems that must be
proved within the constraints of a logical system
of axioms and definitions, rather than theories that must be tested, revised, and
retested. Readers will learn how to read mathematics beyond popular
computational calculus courses. Moreover, readers will learn how to construct
their own proofs.
The book is intended as the primary text for an introductory course in proving
theorems, as well as for self-study or as a reference. Throughout the text, some
pieces (usually proofs) are left as exercises; Part V gives hints to help students
find good approaches to the exercises. Part I introduces the language of
mathematics and the methods of proof. The mathematical content of Parts II
through IV were chosen so as not to seriously overlap the standard mathematics
major. In Part II, students study sets, functions, equivalence and order relations,
and cardinality. Part III concerns algebra. The goal is to prove that the real
numbers form the unique, up to isomorphism, ordered field with the least upper
bound; in the process, we construct the real numbers starting with the natural
numbers. Students will be prepared for an abstract linear algebra or modern
algebra course. Part IV studies analysis. Continuity and differentiation are
considered in the context of time scales (nonempty closed subsets of the real
numbers). Students will be prepared for advanced calculus and general topology
courses. There is a lot of room for instructors to skip and choose topics from
among those that are presented.

TEXTBOOK SERIES
In the Dark on the Sunny

Side: A Memoir of an
Out-of-Sight Mathematician
Larry W. Baggett
n Spectrum
Misfortune struck one June day in 1944, when a
five-year-old boy was forever blinded following an
accident he suffered with a paring knife. Few
people become internationally recognized
research mathematicians and famously
successful university professors of that erudite
subject. Not surprisingly, a minuscule number of those few are visually impaired.
In the Dark on the Sunny Side tells the story of one such individual. The author
was mainstreamed in school long before mainstreaming was common. On almost
every occasion he was the first blind person involved in whatever was going on
the first blind student enrolled in the Orlando Public School System, the first
blind student admitted to Davidson College, and the first blind doctoral student
in mathematics at the University of Washington.
Despite the bad luck that June day, there was good fortune ahead. In addition to
all the remarkable people who helped Baggett to join and prosper quite normally
in the sighted world, he also had two inward outlets that made his life not just
easier but gave it meaning, pleasure, and excitement. One was music and the
other was mathematics. He may lie awake at night analyzing the chord changes
to a jazz tune like Round Midnight, or he may be working out the details of the
proof of the Spectral Theorem for an unbounded operator.
In addition to describing the various successes and failures Baggett experienced
living in the dark on the sunny side, he displays his love of math and music by
interspersing short musings on both topics, such as discussing how to figure out
how many dominoes are in a set, the intricacies of jazz chord progressions, and
the mysterious Comma of Pythagoras.

A Guide to Groups, Rings,
and Fields
Fernando Q. Gouva
n Dolciani
This Guide offers a concise overview of the
theory of groups, rings, and fields at the graduate
level, emphasizing those aspects that are useful
in other parts of mathematics. It focuses on the
main ideas and how they hang together. It will be
useful to both students and professionals. In
addition to the standard material on groups,
rings, modules, fields, and Galois theory, the book includes discussions of other
important topics that are often omitted in the standard graduate course,
including linear groups; group representations; the structure of Artinian rings;
projective, injective, and flat modules; Dedekind domains; and central simple
algebras. All of the important theorems are discussed, without proofs but often
with a discussion of the intuitive ideas behind those proofs. Those looking for a
way to review and refresh their basic algebra will benefit from reading this Guide,
and it will also serve as a ready reference for mathematicians who make use of
algebra in their work.

Which Numbers are Real?
Michael Henle
n Classroom Resource Materials
Everyone knows the real numbers, those
fundamental quantities that make possible all of
mathematics from high school algebra and
Euclidean geometry through the calculus and
beyond; and also serve as the basis for
measurement in science, industry, and ordinary
life. This book surveys alternative real number
systems: systems that generalize and extend the
real numbers, yet stay close to those properties
that make the reals central to mathematics.
Alternative real numbers include many different kinds of numbers; for example,
multi-dimensional numbers (the complex numbers, the quaternions, and others),
infinitely small and infinitely large numbers (the hyperreal numbers and the
surreal numbers), and numbers that represent positions in games (the surreal
numbers).
Each system has a well-developed theory, including applications to other areas of
mathematics and science, such as physics, the theory of games, multi-
dimensional geometry, and formal logic. They are all active areas of current
mathematical research and each has unique features; in particular, characteristic
methods of proof and implications for the philosophy of mathematics, both
highlighted in this book.
Alternative real number systems illuminate the central, unifying role of the real
numbers and include some exciting and eccentric parts of mathematics. Which
Numbers are Real? will be of interest to anyone with an interest in numbers, but
specifically to upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and professional
mathematicians, particularly college mathematics teachers.

Problems and Solutions
Mark I. Krusemeyer, George T. Gilbert, &
Loren C. Larson
n Problem Books
Here is a collection of 208 challenging original
problems, with carefully worked, detailed
solutions. In addition to problems from The
Wohascum County Problem Book, there are about
80 new problems, many of which involve
experimentation and pattern finding.
The problems are intended for undergraduates; although some knowledge of
linear or abstract algebra is needed for a few of the problems, most require
nothing beyond calculus. In fact, many of the problems should be accessible to
high school students. On the other hand, some of the problems require
considerable mathematical maturity, and most students will find few of the
problems routine.
Over four-fifths of the book is devoted to presenting instructive, clear, and often
elegant solutions. For many problems, multiple solutions are given. Appendices
list the prerequisites for individual problems and arrange them by topic. This
should be helpful to classes on problem solving and to individuals or teams
preparing for contests such as the Putnam. The index can help, as well, in finding
problems with a specific theme, or in recovering a half-remembered problem.

Sophies Diary
A Mathematical Novel
Dora Musielak
n Spectrum
Revised and Expanded Edition
Musielaks book is written entirely in diary form,
beginning when Sophie is 13. This coincides with
the French Revolution, and the author takes
great effort to intertwine historical events. The
inclusion of history enhances the book
substantially. The author does a nice job of
interspersing the history with the mathematics,
and the interplay makes the novel more believable as a diary and helps keep the
readers attention.
Michele Intermont, MAA Reviews
Sophies Diary is delightful to read. Each section leaves one anticipating the
next, wondering what will happen, whether it be the fictional Sophies next
mathematical adventure, or her recounting of and views on an episode in the
saga of the French Revolution unfolding outside her door.
Mathematical Intelligencer
Sophie Germain, the first and only woman in history to make a substantial
contribution to the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, grew up during the most
turbulent years of the French Revolution. Her mathematical genius was
discovered by Lagrange around 1797. Published research about Germain focuses
on her achievements, noting that she assumed a man's name at the cole
Polytechnique in Paris, to submit her own work to Lagrange. Yet, no biography
has explained how Germain learned mathematics before that time to become so
sure of her analytical skills to carry out such a daring act.
Sophies Diary is an attempt to answer this question: How did Germain learn
enough mathematics to enter the world of Lagranges analysis in the first place?
In Sophies Diary, Germain comes to life through a fictionalized journal that
intertwines mathematics with history of mathematics plus historically-accurate
accounts of the brutal events that took place in Paris between 1789 and 1793.
This format provides a plausible perspective of how a young Sophie could have
learned mathematics on her ownboth fascinated by numbers and eager to
master tough subjects without a tutors guidance. Her passion for mathematics is
integrated into her personal life as an escape from societal outrage.
Sophies Diary is suitable for a variety of readersboth students and teachers,
mathematicians and noviceswho will be inspired and enlightened in a field of
study made easy as is told through the intellectual and personal struggles of an
exceptional young woman.

The Derivative vs. The
Integral: The Final
Smackdown
Colin Adams & Thomas Garrity
If you put the derivative and the integral in a
cage and had them fight to the death, which
would win? Although this question makes no
sense, as concepts don't know the first thing about hand-to-hand combat, a version
of this question has plagued mathematics for centuries. Which is the better concept?
In this, dare we say educational, but at the very least entertaining debate, Professors
Colin Adams and Tom Garrity do their utmost to defend respectively the derivative
and the integral, while embarrassing each other publicly, in an attempt to settle this
question once and for all. Hear the arguments, watch the nonsense, and then you
decide which of these two fundamental concepts in calculus should be crowned the
victor. Appropriate for students, teachers, and lovers of calculus everywhere.

Calculus and Its Origins is an overview of calculus as an intellectual pursuit
having a 2,000-year history.
Author David Perkins examines the extent to which mathematicians and scholars
from Egypt, Persia, and India absorbed and nourished Greek geometry, and
details how the scholars wove their inquiries into a unified theory.
Chapters cover the story of Archimedes discovery of the area of a parabolic
segment; ibn Al-Haythams calculation of the volume of a revolved area;
Jyesthadevas explanation of the infinite series for sine and cosine; Walliss
deduction of the link between hyperbolas and logarithms; Newtons
generalization of the binomial theorem; Leibnizs discovery of integration by
partsand much more.
Each chapter also contains exercises by such mathematical luminaries as Pascal,
Maclaurin, Barrow, Cauchy, and Euler.

Charles Ashbacher, Journal of Recreational Mathematics
This book is about the concept of mathematical maturity. Mathematical maturity
is central to a mathematics education. The goal of a mathematics education is to
transform the student from someone who treats mathematical ideas empirically
and intuitively to someone who treats mathematical ideas analytically and can
control and manipulate them effectively.
The book provides background, data, and analysis for understanding the concept
of mathematical maturity. It turns the idea of mathematical maturity from a topic

Martin Gardner in the
Twenty-First Century
Michael Henle & Brian Hopkins, Editors
Martin Gardner enormously expanded the field of
recreational mathematics with the Mathematical
Games columns he wrote for Scientific American
for over 25 years and the more than 70 books he
published. He also had a long relationship with
the Mathematical Association of America,
publishing articles in the MAA journals right up to
his death in 2010. This book collects articles
Gardner wrote for the MAA in the twenty-first
century, together with other articles the MAA published from 1999 to 2012 that
spring from and comment on his work.
Martin Gardner's interests spanned geometry, number theory, graph theory, and
probability. He always communicated with engaging exposition, often including
games and puzzles. Eight works by Gardner himself, published between 1999 and
2010, are collected here and represent the breadth of his work, including his
short fiction and lifelong interest in debunking pseudo-science. The remaining 33
chapters were written in response to Gardner's work and include several articles
addressing open questions he posed. They come from The American
Mathematical Monthly, Mathematics Magazine, The College Mathematics Journal,
and Math Horizons, and demonstrate how Gardner's influence continues beyond
his columns for Scientific American.
Although he took no mathematics in college, Martin Gardner inspired many
mathematicians, professional and amateur, and his work was informed by
frequent correspondence with other mathematics aficionados, both famous and
unknown. He was even the basis for a character in a popular novel; his review of
that work is included here. This book is a tribute to the deep and lasting impact of
this prolific and brilliant writer. It is for anyone who, like Martin Gardner,
loves mathematics.

This unusual work is a welcome addition to any
library; all readers will find something to inform
and even delight them.
CHOICE
This book can be enjoyed by amateurs and
professionals alike.
...It is an excellent study item to prepare high school teachers. Others with just
an interest in geometry will find it worthy of an in-depth look.
Charles Ashbacher,
Journal of Recreational

The authors present 20 icons of mathematicsthat is, geometrical shapes such
as the right triangle, the Venn diagram, and the yang and yin symboland
explore mathematical results associated with them. As with their previous books
(Charming Proofs, When Less is More, Math Made Visual), proofs are visual
whenever possible.
The results require no more than high school mathematics to appreciate and many
of them will be new even to experienced readers. Besides theorems and proofs, the
book contains many illustrations and gives connections of the icons to the world
outside of mathematics. There are also problems at the end of each chapter, with
solutions provided in an appendix.
The book could be used by students in courses in problem solving, mathematical
reasoning, or mathematics for the liberal arts. It could also be read with pleasure by
professional mathematicians.

Lisbeth E. Schaubroeck, Richard L. Stankewitz,
& Kenneth Stephenson
This book is written for mathematics students who
have encountered basic complex analysis and
want to explore more advanced project and/or
research topics. It could be used as (a) a
supplement for a standard undergraduate complex analysis course, allowing
students in groups or as individuals to explore advanced topics, (b) a project
resource for a senior capstone course for mathematics majors, (c) a guide for an
advanced student or a small group of students to independently choose and
explore an undergraduate research topic, or (d) a portal for the mathematically
curious, a hands-on introduction to the beauties of complex analysis. Research
topics in the book include complex dynamics, minimal surfaces, fluid flows,
harmonic, conformal, and polygonal mappings, and discrete complex analysis via
circle packing. The nature of this book is different from many mathematics texts:
the focus is on student-driven and technology-enhanced investigation. Interlaced in
the reading for each chapter are examples, exercises, explorations, and projects,
nearly all linked explicitly with computer applets for visualization and hands-on
manipulation. There are more than 15 Java applets that allow students to explore
the research topics without the need for purchasing additional software.

Recent Developments on
Introducing a Historical
Dimension in Mathematics
Education
Victor Katz & Constantinos Tzanakis,
Editors
nMAA Notes
There has been increased interest in recent years
in the use of the history of mathematics in the
teaching of mathematics. In particular, in
response to suggestions made in the volume History and Mathematics Education
of the International Commission on Mathematics Instruction, many researchers
around the world are now conducting empirical studies of the use of history in
the mathematics classroom to get more insight into its educational implications.
To further the goal of making these new results available to a wider audience,
including mathematics educators, mathematics faculty in secondary schools and
universities, and historians of mathematics, the editors have collected articles
stemming from contributions to this field that were presented originally at recent
meetings of the International Study Group on the Relations Between History and
Pedagogy of Mathematics (the HPM Group), the European Summer University on
the History and Epistemology in Mathematics Education (ESU), and the Congress
of the European Society for Research in Mathematics Education (CERME). The
purpose of the articles is to move the field forward and provide faculty with many
new ideas for incorporating the history of mathematics into their teaching at
various levels of education.

Teaching Mathematics with
Classroom Voting
Kelly Cline & Holly Zullo, Editors
nMAA Notes
Classroom voting is a teaching method that can
be used to create engaging lectures in the college
and university mathematics classroom. Using this
method, the instructor poses a multiple-choice
question to the class, gives them a few minutes
to work through the question and discuss it in
small groups before each student votes on the
correct answer, often using an electronic clicker. The vote gives the instructor
immediate feedback from each individual in the class. Most importantly, the vote
requires every single student to play an active role, to grapple with some
mathematical issue, to discuss it in a small group, and to register an opinion.
How can you teach all the necessary topics and still include votes with
discussions? How do you integrate these votes into a class period? Where can
you find good questions to pose, or do you have to write them all yourself? How
are students likely to react to this new teaching system? What can you do if 90%
of your class votes incorrectly?
To address these questions this collection includes papers from faculty at
institutions across the country. In this volume, these faculty share their
experiences and explain how they have used classroom voting to engage
students, to provoke discussions, and to improve how they teach mathematics.
The first section of this volume provides general background information on
classroom voting and addresses foundational issues such as whether to use
electronic clickers and how to conduct the votes. The papers in the second
section address the effectiveness of classroom voting as a pedagogy in teaching
mathematics. The third section is devoted to papers in which faculty discuss how
they use classroom voting in specific courses such as algebra, statistics,
precalculus, calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and abstract algebra.

Lobachevski Illuminated
Seth Braver
n Spectrum
This text is aimed at those who are learning
about non-Euclidean geometries for the first
time, although experts will also enjoy reading
this book. The writing is clear and lucid.
Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevskis trailblazing
explorations of non-Euclidean geometry
constitute a crucial episode in the history of
mathematics, but they were not widely recognized as such until after his death.
Consequently, when non-Euclidean geometry finally found a sympathetic
audience in the late 19th century, the subject was reinterpreted in the light of
intervening developments which were foreign to Lobachevskis own way of
thinking. Because our modern understanding of his work derives from these
reinterpretations, many of Lobachevskis strikingly beautiful ideas have been
forgotten, and remain unknown to all but a handful of mathematicians today.
Lobachevski Illuminated seeks to recover this lost mathematics by
introducing readers to classical non-Euclidean geometry through one of its most
important original sources: a small treatise that Lobachevski published in
German in 1840, Geometrische Untersuchungen zur Theorie der Parallellinien
(Geometric Investigations of the Theory of Parallels). Within the pages of
Lobachevski Illuminated, readers are guided, step by step, through a new
translation of Lobachevskis little book. Although Lobachevskis text is
challenging to read on its own, carefully arranged illuminations provide
extensive commentary that situates Lobachevskis work in its mathematical,
historical, and philosophical context, granting readers a vision of the world of
non-Euclidean geometry as seen through the eyes of one of its discoverers.
Lobachevskis work is accessible to any reader comfortable with high school
mathematics. It can be used as a primary text or as supplementary reading for
courses in geometry or in the history of mathematics.

Keeping it R.E.A.L.:
Research Experiences for All Learners
Carla D. Martin & Anthony Tongen
Keeping it R.E.A.L.: Research Experiences for
All Learners is a collection of computational
projects designed to inspire critical thinking and
mathematical inquiry. R.E.A.L. projects are
suitable for students with minimal computational
exposure and a precalculus background to upper-
level students in a numerical analysis course.
Most of the projects do not involve high-level mathematical theory and are
accessible to students at many levels. These projects can be classified as short-
term research projects that reinforce material covered in class and use real-life
applications in a variety of fields.
The authors use self-discovery methods to share these projects and provide a
framework for incorporating undergraduate research in the classroom. The result
is a set of easily adaptable course materials that can be used to inspire creativity
and encourage undergraduate research. Each project has been class-tested and
most have been presented as posters at regional conferences.
Each R.E.A.L. project includes: goals of the project; reactions from students
who have worked on the project; mathematical and technological prerequisites;
author advice in implementing the project or common student pitfalls; extensive
background section and references on each subject to help instructors implement
the project.

Mathematical Time
Capsules
Dick Jardine & Amy Shell-Gellasch
nMAA Notes
There are a wide range of topics covered, and a
wide variety of styles in which chapters are
written. Together they compose a valuable
offering to the classroom teacher.
Dominic Klyve, MAA Reviews
Mathematical Time Capsules offers teachers
historical modules for immediate use in the mathematics classroom that include
relevant history-based activities for a wide range of undergraduate and
secondary mathematics courses. The genesis of this volume was a Contributed
Papers Session on Using History of Mathematics in Your Mathematics Courses,
organized by the editors at the Joint Mathematics Meetings, San Antonio, Texas,
in January 2006.
A time capsule can be defined as a container preserving articles and records from
the past for scholars of the future. Readers who open the book will find articles
and activities from mathematics history that enhance the learning of topics
typically associated with undergraduate or secondary mathematics curricula.
Each capsule presents one topic, or perhaps a few related topics, or a historical
thread that can be used throughout a course. The capsules were written by
experienced practitioners to provide teachers with the historical background,
suggested classroom activities, and further references and resources on the
subject addressed. After reading a capsule, a teacher will be able to engage
students in at least one activity rich in the history of mathematics. Most of the
historical topics contained in a capsule can be implemented in one class period
with minimal additional preparation on the part of the teacher.

The Beauty of Fractals
Six Different Views
Denny Gulick & Jon Scott, Editors
nMAA Notes
Each of the essays is self-contained and can be
understood by anyone with a background in
algebra up through matrix representations and
the mathematics of iterations. The images will
excite children all the way down through middle
school as they see how mathematics can make
realistic images.
Fractals are beautiful and, as a consequence, there are oversize books that
provide scores of pictures and little else. While the present volume includes
pretty pictures, especially in the first chapter/paper, it emphasizes the
mathematical beauty of fractals.
CHOICE
Fractals came onto the stage in the 1970s with the emergence of the Mandelbrot
set, with its incredibly complicated and interesting boundary. During the 1980s a
number of books appearedincluding those most especially by Mandelbrot,
Barnsley, and Devaneythat gave a mathematical background for fractals that
made them accessible to both students and teachers. More recently, as
computers and their users have become more sophisticated, the domain of
fractals has broadened, from art to scientific application to mathematical
analysis. In particular, students in high school as well as college are often
introduced to fractals and fractal concepts. The Beauty of Fractals: Six Different
Views includes six essays related to fractals, with perspectives different enough
to give readers a taste of the breadth of the subject.
The six essays appearing in this book can be grouped as follows: the first two
have a more descriptive nature; the first in terms of pictorial images that are
fractals and the second in terms of fractals that appear in the famous stage play
Arcadia. The third, fourth, and fifth essays are devoted to the famous classical
fractals and their close relatives. The sixth essay connects differential equations
to fractals. The last two essays are co-authored with undergraduate students.
Each essay is self-contained and expository, and is accessible to a broad
audience that includes college teachers, high school teachers, advanced
undergraduate students, and others who wish to learn or teach about topics in
fractals that do not usually appear in textbooks on fractals.

Calculus
An Active Approach with Projects
Stephen Hilbert, Diane D. Schwartz,
Stan Seltzer, John Maceli, & Eric Robinson
This volume contains student and instructor
material for the delivery of a two-semester
calculus sequence at the undergraduate level. It
can be used in conjunction with any textbook. It
was written with the view that students who are
actively involved inside and outside the classroom
are more likely to succeed, develop deeper
conceptual understanding, and retain knowledge than students who are passive
recipients of information.
The volume contains two main student sections. The first contains activities usually
done in class, individually or in groups. Many of the activities allow students to
participate in the development of central calculus ideas. The second section
contains longer projects where students work in groups outside the classroom.
These projects may involve material already presented, motivate concepts, or
introduce supplementary topics.
In addition to facilitating active student learning, the material will foster student
comprehension of calculus as a unified subject. It provides many opportunities for
students to make connections between different calculus topics. Unifying threads
appear throughout the activities and projects. These threads include graphical
calculus, distance and velocity, multiple representations of functions, estimation
and approximation, and mathematical modeling.
Student thinking and communication are promoted through use of activities and
projects where students need to organize their thinking, determine problem-solving
strategies, and clearly communicate results to others.
Instructor materials contained in the volume include comments and notes on each
project and activity, guidelines on their implementation, and a sample curriculum
which incorporates a collection of activities and projects.

are deep or subtle often made by strong students. While some are provided for
entertainment, others offer a challenge to the reader to determine exactly where
things go wrong.
The items are sorted according to subject matter. Elementary teachers will not
find much of use beyond Chapter 1, while middle and high school teachers will
find items in Chapters, 1, 2, 3, 7, and 8 that they might use. College instructors
should find material in every part of the book. There are frequent references to

Mathematical Creativity
Peter Borwein, Peter Liljedahl, & Helen Zhai
n Spectrum
This book aims to shine a light on some of the issues of mathematical
creativity. It is neither a philosophical treatise nor the presentation of
experimental results, but a compilation of reflections from top-caliber working
mathematicians. In their own words, they discuss the art and practice of their
work. This approach highlights creative components of the field, illustrates the
dramatic variation by individual, and hopes to express the vibrancy of creative
minds at work. Mathematical Creativity is meant for a general audience and is
probably best read by browsing. The sample of mathematicians is organized
alphabetically. They are distinguished by their eminence and impact but do not
lend themselves to systematic study. This book may be used as a textbook
supplement or as enrichment material in mathematics history and mathematics

Paradoxes and Sophisms in Calculus
Sergiy Klymchuk & Susan Staples
Paradoxes and Sophisms in Calculus offers a delightful supplementary
resource to enhance the study of single variable calculus. By the word paradox,
the authors mean a surprising, unexpected, counter-intuitive statement that
looks invalid, but in fact is true. The word sophismdescribes intentionally invalid
reasoning that looks formally correct, but in fact contains a subtle mistake or
flaw. In other words, a sophism is a false proof of an incorrect statement. A
collection of over 50 paradoxes and sophisms showcases the subtleties of this
subject and leads students to contemplate the underlying concepts. A number of
the examples treat historically significant issues that arose in the development of
calculus, while others more naturally challenge readers to understand common
misconceptions. Sophisms and paradoxes from the areas of functions, limits,
derivatives, integrals, sequences, and series are explored. The book serves as a
complementary companion to the first authors previous book Counterexamples

Can be used as supplementary reading in a

The strength of the Pollatsek book lies in its
many exercises and its many opportunities for students to explore ideas that
arise during the development of Lie theory.
The UMAP Journal
The work of the Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie extends ideas of symmetry
and leads to many applications in mathematics and physics. Ordinarily, the study
of the objects in Lies theory (Lie groups and Lie algebras) requires extensive
mathematical prerequisites beyond the reach of the typical undergraduate. By
restricting to the special case of matrix Lie groups and relying on ideas from
multivariable calculus and linear algebra, this lovely and important material
becomes accessible even to college sophomores. Working with Lies ideas fosters
an appreciation of the unity of mathematics and the sometimes surprising ways
in which mathematics provides a language to describe and understand the
physical world. This is the only book in the undergraduate curriculum to bring this
material to students so early in their mathematical careers.

Functions, Data, and Models
An Applied Approach to College Algebra
Sheldon P. Gordon & Florence S. Gordon
n MAA Textbooks
This textbook certainly sets the hook early when
authors explain in the preface that the book's
philosophy is to allow students to focus on
mathematical ideas, not mathematical
calculations. In contrast to many traditional
college algebra texts that emphasize algebraic
manipulations (which students may rarely need
in their future careers), this text seeks to "meet the changing and qualitative
needs of most other disciplines" (p. xi) by focusing more on graphical,
numerical, and statistical methods I highly recommend this text to instructors
who seek to cultivate creativity and critical thinking in their college algebra-
level students.
Hilary Fletcher, Mathematics and Computer Education
On initial viewing, Functions, Data, and Models may seem like a typical
textbookhowever, on closer examination, readers will see and understand how
the eight-chapter work differs from the classic algebra books. The difference is
that the problems are about subjects with which all students are familiar, e.g.,
sports, weather, money, and food. Chapter 2 uses a problem about cooking a
turkey to help students understand models and predictions. There are also many
useful illustrations throughout. The book would be a great resource for any
algebra course.
CHOICE
As someone who teaches college algebra, I have seen my share of college
algebra texts. I form my opinion of all of them, which is generally mixed. This is
the first that I have read and found to be innovative. It leaves me enthusiastic
about the possibilities of improving the traditional approach to this well-worn
undergraduate course. This textbook considers the student as more likely
destined for their career sooner rather than going on to higher level study in
mathematics. For students on a more academic or scientific track this text does
subtly and effectively motivate an approach to reasoning that prepares the
student for proofs. There is a level of intellectual demand made here that is
preparation for rigor and the real world.
Tom Schulte, MAA Reviews
This is a college algebra-level textbook that is written to provide the kind of
mathematical knowledge and experiences that students will need for courses in
other fields, such as biology, chemistry, business, finance, economics, and other
areas that are heavily dependent on data either from laboratory experiments or
from other studies. The focus is on the fundamental mathematical concepts and
the realistic problem solving via mathematical modeling rather than the
development of algebraic skills that might be needed in calculus.
Functions, Data, and Models presents college algebra in a way that differs from
almost all college algebra books available today. The book provides something
new rather than covering the same ground taught in high school courses. This
book changes the content of the course to give students an introduction to data
analysis and mathematical modeling pitched at a level that students with limited
algebraic skills can understand. The book contains a rich set of exercises, many of
which use real data. Also included are thought experiments or what if questions
that are meant to stretch the students mathematical thinking.

ANALYSIS/APPLIED MATHEMATICS
Randomness and Recurrence
in Dynamical Systems
Rodney Nillsen
n Carus Monographs
The book is very well written and the author
clearly motivates all definitions and theorems.
Excellent illustrations throughout help cement
the readers understanding of the material and
proofs are given in full detail.
Peter Rabinovitch, MAA Reviews
This is a unique book that has been put together
with extraordinary care and attention to detail, and the topics are completely in
keeping with the overall theme.
Randomness and Recurrence in Dynamical Systems bridges the gap between
undergraduate teaching and the research level in mathematical analysis. It makes
ideas on averaging, randomness, and recurrence, which traditionally require
measure theory, accessible at the undergraduate andlower graduate level. The
author develops new techniques of proof and adapts known proofs to make the
material accessible to students with only a background in elementary real
analysis. Over 60 figures are used to explain proofs, provide alternative
viewpoints, and elaborate on the main text.
The final part of the book introduces and motivates measure theory and the
notion of a measurable set, and describes the relationship ofBirkhoff's Individual
Ergodic Theorem to the preceding ideas. Developments in other dynamical
systems are indicated, in particular Lvy's result on the frequency of occurrence
of a given digit in the partial fractions expansion of a number. Historical notes
and comments suggest possible avenues for self-study.

harmonic functions by including accessible discussions of many intriguing topics
that are uncommon in a book at this level. Readers will encounter notions ranging
from Landau's notation to overconvergent series to the Phragmn-Lindelf
theorem. The flexibility afforded by the supplementary topics and applications
makes the book adaptable either to a short, one-term course or to a
comprehensive, full-year course.
The writing is user-friendly in many ways. Each topic is discussed in a typical,
commonly encountered situation rather than in the most general, abstract
setting. There are no numbered equations. Numerous exercises interspersed in
the text encourage readers to test their understanding of new concepts and
techniques as they are presented. Detailed solutions of the exercises, included
at the back of the book, serve both as models for students and facilitate
independent study. Supplementary exercises at the ends of sections, not solved
in the book, provide an additional teaching tool.

Werner Kleinert, Zentrallblatt
Excursions in Classical Analysis will introduce students to advanced problem
solving and undergraduate research in two ways: it will provide a tour of classical
analysis, showcasing a wide variety of problems that are placed in historical context,
and it will help students gain mastery of mathematical discovery and proof.
The author presents a variety of solutions for the problems in the book. Some
solutions reach back to the work of mathematicians like Leonhard Euler while others
connect to other beautiful parts of mathematics. Readers will frequently see
problems solved by using an idea that at first glance might not even seem to apply
to that problem. Other solutions employ a specific technique that can be used to
solve many different kinds of problems. Excursions emphasizes the rich and elegant
interplay between continuous and discrete mathematics by applying induction,
recursion, and combinatorics to traditional problems in classical analysis.
A carefully selected assortment of problems presented at the end of the chapters
includes 22 Putnam problems, 50 MAA Monthly problems, and 14 open problems.
These problems are not only related to the chapter topics, but connect naturally
to other problems and even serve as introductions to other areas of mathematics.

A Radical Approach to
Real Analysis
David Bressoud
n MAA Textbooks
Read what reviewers said about the First Edition.
The past decade or so has witnessed the
appearance of a substantial number of bridge
the gap introductions to real analysis, which
lead the students at a gentler pace through the fundamentals of real analysis
according to the traditional syllabus. It is well worth considering whether
students in their undergraduate real analysis course might be better served by
a radical approach such as Bressouds.
G.A. Heuer, Mathematical Reviews
In the second edition of this MAA classic, exploration continues to be an
essential component. More than 60 new exercises have been added, and the
chapters on Infinite Summations, Differentiability and Continuity, and
Convergence of Infinite Series have been reorganized to make it easier to identify
the key ideas. A Radical Approach to Real Analysis is an introduction to real
analysis, rooted in and informed by the historical issues that shaped its
development. It can be used as a textbook, as a resource for the instructor who
prefers to teach a traditional course, or as a resource for the student who has
been through a traditional course yet still does not understand what real analysis
is about and why it was created. The book begins with Fouriers introduction of
trigonometric series and the problems they created for the mathematicians of
the early 19th century. It follows Cauchys attempts to establish a firm foundation
for calculus, and considers his failures as well as his successes. It culminates
with Dirichlets proof of the validity of the Fourier series expansion and explores
some of the counterintuitive results Riemann and Weierstrass were led to as a
result of Dirichlets proof.

The Calculus Collection
A Resource for AP* and Beyond
Caren L. Diefenderfer &
Roger B. Nelsen, Editors
the various articles collected in the present
book provide a wealth of interesting new
viewpoints. No doubt, every calculus teacher
can profit a great deal from this multifarious
collection of articles on teaching elementary
calculus, each of which is evidently written with
gripping enthusiasm, pedagogical experience, and cultural sensitiveness.
Werner Kleinert, Zentrallblatt
This book contains a large number of nuggets that can be used to enliven and
strengthen the teaching of calculus, independent of the where and
the level.
The Calculus Collection is a useful resource for everyone who teaches calculus,
in high school or in a two-or four-year college or university. It consists of 123
articles, selected by a panel of six veteran high school teachers, each of which
was originally published in Math Horizons, MAA FOCUS, The American
Mathematical Monthly, The College Mathematics Journal, or Mathematics
Magazine. The articles focus on engaging students who are meeting the core
ideas of calculus for the first time. The Calculus Collection is filled with insights,
alternate explanations of difficult ideas, and suggestions for how to take a
standard problem and open it up to the rich mathematical explorations available
when you encourage students to dig a little deeper. Some of the articles reflect
an enthusiasm for bringing calculators and computers into the classroom, while
others consciously address themes from the calculus reform movement. But most
of the articles are simply interesting and timeless explorations of the
mathematics encountered in a first course in calculus.
The MAA has twice previously issued a calculus reader, collecting articles on
calculus from its journals: Selected Papers in Calculus, published in 1969 and
reprinted as Part I of A Century of Calculus, and Part II, published in 1992. In a
sense, The Calculus Collection is the third volume in that series, but different in
that it is a collection chosen for its usefulness to those who teach first-year
calculus in high schools as well as colleges and universities.

Counterexamples
in Calculus
Sergiy Klymchuk
As a robust repertoire of examples is essential for
students to learn the practice of mathematics, so a
mental library of counterexamples is critical for
students to grasp the logic of mathematics.
Counterexamples are tools that reveal incorrect
beliefs. Without such tools, learners natural
misconceptions gradually harden into convictions
that seriously impede further learning. This slim volume brings the power of
counterexamples to bear on one of the largest and most important courses in the
mathematics curriculum.
Professor Lynn Arthur Steen,
St. Olaf College,Co-author of
Counterexamples in Topology
This brief work is exactly as described, a collection of counterexamples from
calculus. The book is organized into two parts. The first part is a list of 90 short
statements grouped into five categories: "Functions," "Limits," "Continuity,"
"Differential Calculus," and "Integral Calculus." The second part is longer and
includes counterexamples to each of the statements and well-known calculus
theorems... Klymchuk provides an excellent reminder to calculus instructors and
students of the need for rigor in calculus...In addition to helping calculus users to
avoid complacency, this work provides wonderful illustrations of what can go
wrong if one ignores the conditions placed on the theorems and rules of calculus.
This book should be required reading for any long-term instructor of calculus.
CHOICE
Counterexamples in Calculus serves as a supplementary resource to enhance
the learning experience in single-variable calculus courses. This book features
carefully constructed incorrect mathematical statements that require students to
create counterexamples to disprove them. Methods of producing these incorrect
statements vary. At times, the converse of a well-known theorem is presented. In
other instances crucial conditions are omitted or altered, or incorrect definitions
are employed. Incorrect statements are grouped topically with sections devoted
to: Functions, Limits, Continuity, Differential Calculus, and Integral Calculus.
This book aims to fill a gap in the literature and provide a resource for using
counterexamples as a pedagogical tool in the study of introductory calculus. In
that light, it may well be useful for high school teachers and university faculty as
a teaching resource, high school and college students as a learning resource, or
as a professional development resource for calculus instructors.

M. Bona, CHOICE
...Combinatorics is an excellent candidate for a special topics course for

simultaneously be an advanced and a capstone course. This book would be an
excellent selection for the textbook of such a course. The explanations are at an
appropriate level for the audience and there are exercises at the end of each
section...The coverage is also sufficient of breadth; all of the major areas of
combinatorics are covered...This book is the best candidate for a textbook in
combinatorics that I have encountered.
Combinatorics is mathematics of enumeration, existence, construction, and
optimization questions concerning finite sets. This text focuses on the first three
types of questions and covers basic counting and existence principles,
distributions, generating functions, recurrence relations, Plya theory,
combinatorial designs, error-correcting codes, partially-ordered sets, and
selected applications to graph theory, including the enumeration of trees, the
chromatic polynomial, and introductory Ramsey theory. The only prerequisites
are single-variable calculus and familiarity with sets and basic proof techniques.
The text emphasizes the brands of thinking that are characteristic of
combinatorics: bijective and combinatorial proofs, recursive analysis, and
counting problem classification.
What makes this text a guided tour are the approximately 350 reading questions
spread throughout its eight chapters. These questions provide checkpoints for
learning and prepare the reader for the end-of-section exercises of which there are
over 470. Most sections conclude with Travel Notes that add color to the material of
the section via anecdotes, open problems, suggestions for further reading, and
biographical information about mathematicians involved in the discoveries.

Elementary Cryptanalysis
A Mathematical Approach
Second Edition
Abraham Sinkov
Revised & updated by Todd Feil
n MAA Textbooks
As a young mathematician, I learned how to
make and break simple codes from Sinkov's
beguiling introduction to cryptanalysis. In the
intervening 40 years there has been a revolution
in cryptography, and it is fitting that for a modern edition of Sinkov's classic,
Todd Feil has indicated the nature of this revolution by adding a lucid
introduction to RSA public-key encryption and the number theory which
underlies it. If you know a young code breaker who might become a young
mathematician, buy her or him this book! Or buy it for yourself and try decoding
those messages.
Phil Straffin, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics
and Computer Science at Beloit College
Sinkov's Elementary Cryptanalysis is an eminently readable classic that
introduces the reader to both the techniques and the spirit of cryptanalysisthe
art and science of reading secret messages. Todd Feil has done a fine job of
modernizing the language of the original. His chapters on RSA encryption and
one-time pads give added value to the original, especially the very nice
treatment of RSA that assumes almost no prior knowledge of number theory.
Ezra Brown, Virginia Tech, Co-Editor of Biscuits of Number Theory
The revised and updated version of Elementary Cryptanalysis, originally
published in the New Mathematical Library almost half a century ago, explains
how to solve cryptograms based on elementary mathematical principles, starting
with the Caesar cipher and building up to progressively more sophisticated
substitution methods. Todd Feil has updated the book for the technological age
by adding two new chapters covering RSA public-key cryptography, one-time
pads, and pseudo-random-number generators.
Exercises are given throughout the text that will help the reader understand the
concepts and practice the techniques presented. The book assumes minimal
mathematical prerequisites and therefore explains from scratch such concepts as
summation notation, matrix multiplication, and modular arithmetic.

Methods for
Euclidean Geometry
Owen Byer, Felix Lazebnik, &
Deirdre L. Smeltzer
Methods for Euclidean Geometry is a college
geometry textbook with a unique mission. Instead
of treating the subject as a distinct unit in the math
curriculum, the authors integrate a variety of
mathematical disciplines to engage and enlighten
the readerThe text would be most useful in a
college geometry coursethis book would also be a useful resource for high school
teachers with college math experience.
Ruth Doherty, MAA Reviews
The subject of this book, Euclidean plane geometry, is one of the oldest and most
beautiful in mathematics. Instead of carefully building geometries from axiom
sets, this book uses a variety of mathematical methods to solve problems in
Euclidean geometry. Many of these methods arose when people were unable to
solve problems with existing techniques.
In several cases, the new ideas used in solving specific problems were later
developed into their own areas of mathematics. The book is first and foremost
one for learning mathematics, with geometry providing the content, and the hope
is that studying geometry along the lines suggested will develop students
appreciation of the subject and of mathematics as a whole.
One important aspect of this book is its thorough treatment of the coordinate
method and its applications. Despite the fact that the analytic method has been
part of mathematics for four centuries, it is rarely a tool a student considers
using when faced with a geometry problem. The same is true with regard to the
use of trigonometry, vectors, complex numbers, and transformations; the book
has a chapter covering each of these topics in a refreshing way and provides
numerous examples of their applications to geometry problems.

Charming Proofs
A Journey Into Elegant Mathematics
n Dolciani
Proof after proof reminded me of my earliest
days studying mathematics and marveling at its
beauty. The authors have exquisite taste. I
believe that anyone who went on to do serious
mathematics will find one of their favorites here,
lovingly presented. In short, this is a charming
book, by charming authors about charming
proofs. Every new book they write is a cause for
celebration.
Sol Garfunkel, Executive Director, COMAP
The overall flavor here is more geometric and visual, and less analytic Each
chapter provides challenge exercises with solutions. Not surprisingly, the
charm of the contents means that in sum this is a charming book. It would be a
good supplement to introduction-to-proof courses, as well as topics for
discussions in mathematics clubs.
CHOICE
Charming Proofs presents a collection of remarkable proofs in elementary
mathematics that are exceptionally elegant, full of ingenuity, and succinct. By
means of a surprising argument or a powerful visual representation, the proofs in
this collection will invite readers to enjoy the beauty of mathematics, to share
their discoveries with others, and to become involved in the process of creating
new proofs.
In 12 chapters, the authors present a wide and varied selection of proofs they
consider charming. Topics include the integers, selected real numbers, points in
the plane, triangles, squares and other polygons, curves, inequalities, plane
tilings, origami, colorful proofs, three-dimensional geometry, etc. At the end of
each chapter are some challenges that will draw the reader into the process of
creating charming proofs. There are over 130 such challenges.
Charming Proofs concludes with solutions to all of the challenges, references,
and a complete index. As in the authors previous books with the MAA (Math
Made Visual and When Less Is More), secondary school and college and
university teachers may wish to use some of the charming proofs in their
classrooms to introduce their students to mathematical elegance. Some may
wish to use the book as a supplement in an introductory course on proofs,
mathematical reasoning, or problem solving.
Geometric Transformations IV
Circular Transformations
I. M. Yaglom
Translated by Abe Shenitzer
nAnneli Lax NML
The familiar plane geometry of high school
figures composed of lines and circlestakes on a
new life when viewed as the study of properties
that are preserved by special groups of
transformations. No longer is there a single,
universal geometry: different sets of
transformations of the plane correspond to
intriguing, disparate geometries.
This book is the concluding Part IV of Geometric Transformations, but it can be
studied independently of Parts I, II, and III, which appeared in this series as
Volumes 8, 21, and 24. Part I treats the geometry of rigid motions of the plane
(isometries); Part II treats the geometry of shape-preserving transformations of
the plane (similarities); Part III treats the geometry of transformations of the
plane that map lines to lines (affine and projective transformations) and
introduces the Klein model of non-Euclidean geometry.
The present Part IV develops the geometry of transformations of the plane that
map circles to circles (conformal or anallagmatic geometry). The notion of
inversion, or reflection in a circle, is the key tool employed. Applications include
ruler-and-compass constructions and the Poincar model of hyperbolic geometry.
The straightforward, direct presentation assumes only some background in high
school geometry and trigonometry. Numerous exercises lead the reader to a
mastery of the methods and concepts. The second half of the book contains
detailed solutions of all the problems.
Differential Geometry and
Its Applications
Second Edition
John Oprea
n MAA Textbooks
This is a clearly written book which could serve
well as a text for an undergraduate course in
differential geometry for either one or two
semesters....Overall, this is an impressive book
that would be an excellent text for an
undergraduate course in differential geometry.
Thomas E. Cecil, Mathematical Reviews
Differential geometry has a wide range of applications, going far beyond strictly
mathematical pursuits to include architecture, engineering, and just about every
scientific discipline. John Opreas second edition of Differential Geometry and
Its Applications illuminates a wide range of ideas that can be beneficial to
students majoring not only in mathematics but also in other fields.
The textbook touches on many different mathematical concepts, including
aspects of linear algebra, the Gauss-Bonnet Theorem, and geodesics. It also
encourages students to visualize and experiment with the ideas they are
studying through their use of the computer program Maple. This allows students
to develop a better understanding of the mathematics involved in differential
geometry.

R.L. Pour, CHOICE
An Episodic History of Mathematics delivers a series of snapshots of the
history of mathematics from ancient times to the 20th century. The intent is not
to be an encyclopedic history of mathematics, but to give the reader a sense of
mathematical culture and history. The book abounds with stories, and
personalities play a strong role.
The book will introduce the students to some of the genesis of mathematical ideas.
While the author does not get into the nuts and bolts of Andrew Wiles solution of
Fermats Last Theorem, he does describe some of the stream of thought that created
the problem and led to its solution. While he does not describe all the sophisticated
mathematics that goes into the theory behind black holes and modern cosmology, he
does indicate some of Bernhard Riemanns ideas about the geometry of space.
Mathematical history is exciting and rewarding, and is a significant slice of the
intellectual pie. A good education consists of learning different methods of discourse,
and certainly mathematics is one of the most well-developed and important modes of
discourse that we have.
The focus in this text is on doinggetting involved with the mathematics and solving
problems. Every chapter ends with a detailed problem set that will provide the student
with many avenues for exploration and many new entrees into the subject.

Voltaires Riddle
Micromgas & the Measure of
All Things
Andrew Simoson
n Dolciani
Did you know that Voltaire was the first to
publish the legend of Isaac Newton discovering
gravity upon seeing an apple fall? That he tried
for about eight years to be a mathematician?
That in 1752 he wrote Micromgas, a story about
a French expedition to the Arctic (1736 1737)
whose purpose was to test Newtons controversial theories about gravity?
Voltaires Riddle is about that story and its underlying mathematics. Briefly, an
alien giant visits the earth and encounters the expedition returning from north of
the Baltic Sea. The ensuing dialogue between the giant and the men ranges from
measurements of the very small to the very large, from gnats and micro-
organisms to planets and stars, from mans tendency to make war to dreams of
understanding his own spirit. At the end of their conversation, the giant gives the
men a book with the answers to all things. But when they open it, it is blank. That
is the riddle of this book. What does such an ending mean? The author presents
us with some riddle resolutions in the book.

and the most important types of function spaces. On the more concrete level, it
also deals with the applications of these general theories to analysis on Euclidean
space: the Lebesgue integral, Hausdorff measure, convolutions, Fourier series and
transforms, and distributions. The relevant definitions and major theorems are
stated in detail. Proofs, however, are generally presented only as sketches in such a

Flatland
Edwin Abbott
Notes and commentary by
William F. Lindgren & Thomas F. Banchoff
n Spectrum
Flatland, Edwin Abbotts story of a two-
dimensional universe as told by one of its
inhabitants who is introduced to the mysteries of
three-dimensional space, has enjoyed an
enduring popularity from the time of its
publication in 1884. This fully annotated edition
enables the modern-day reader to understand and appreciate the many
dimensions of this classic satire. Mathematical notes and illustrations enhance
the usefulness of Flatland as an elementary introduction to higher-dimensional
geometry. Historical notes show connections to late-Victorian England and to
classical Greece. Citations from Abbotts other writings, as well as the works of
Plato and Aristotle, serve to interpret the text. Commentary on language and
literary style includes numerous definitions of obscure words. An appendix gives a
comprehensive account of the life and work of Flatlands remarkable author.

POPULAR AND EXPOSITORY
Creative Mathematics
H. S. Wall
Creative Mathematics, according to Wall, is not a
compendium of mathematical facts and inventions
to be read over as a connoisseur of art looks over
paintings. It is, instead, a sketchbook in which
readers try their hands at mathematical discovery.
The book is self-contained, and assumes little
formal mathematical background on the part of the
reader. Wall is earnest about developing
mathematical creativity and independence in
students. Wall developed Creative Mathematics over a period of many years of
working with students at the University of Texas at Austin. In less than 200 pages, he
takes the reader on a stimulating tour starting with numbers, and then moving on to
simple graphs, the integral, simple surfaces, successive approximations, linear
spaces of simple graphs, and concluding with mechanical systems. The student who
has worked through Creative Mathematics will come away with heightened
mathematical maturity.

Is Mathematics Inevitable?
A Miscellany
Underwood Dudley, Editor
n Spectrum
This is a collection of gems from the literature of
mathematics that shine as brightly today as
when they first appeared in print. They deserve
to be seen and admired.
The selections include two opposing views on
the purpose of mathematics, The Strong Law of
Small Numbers, the treatment of calculus in the
1771 Encyclopaedia Britannica, several proofs that the number of legs on a
horse is infinite, a deserved refutation of the ridiculous Euler-Diderot anecdote,
the real story of and the Indiana Legislature, the reason why Theodorus
stopped proving that square roots were irrational when he got to the square
root of 17, an excerpt from Mathematics Made Difficult, a glimpse into the mind
of a calculating prodigy.There will be something of interest here for almost
anyone interested in mathematics.

Zentrallblatt
Although there were some older contests in the Maritime region and in Lower and
Upper Canada, the Alberta High School Mathematics Competition was the first
and oldest in Canada to be run on a provincial scale. Started in 1957, the
competition recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. These 50 years can be
broken down into three periods: Ancient (19571966), Medieval (19671983), and
Modern (19842006), with very distinctive flavors that reflect what was taught in
the schools of the day. The first two periods are primarily of historical interest.
During the Modern period, the talented problem committee was led by the world-
renowned problemist Murray Klamkin and composed many innovative and
challenging problems.
In this book you will find all the problems and answers for the first 50 years of the
competition up to 2005/2006and full solutions are provided to those from the
Modern period, often supplemented with multiple solutions or additional
commentaries.

nMAA Notes
That student is taught thebest who is told

R. L. Moore, 1966
Some say that the only possible effect of the
Moore Method is to produce research mathematiciansbut I dont agree. The
Moore Method is, I am convinced, the right way to teach anything and
everythingit produces students who can understand and use what they have
learned. It does, to be sure, instill the research attitude in the studentthe
attitude of questioning everything and wanting to learn answers activelybut
thats a good thing in every human endeavor, not only in mathematical research.
Paul R. Halmos, Santa Clara University
The Moore Method: A Pathway to Learner-Centered Instruction offers a
practical overview of the method as practiced by the four co-authors, serving as
both a how to manual for implementing the method and an answer to the
question, What is the Moore Method? Moore is well-known as creator of the
Moore Method (no textbooks, no lectures, no conferring) in which there is a
current and growing revival of interest and modified application under inquiry-
based learning projects. Beginning with Moores method as practiced by Moore
himself, the authors proceed to present their own broader definitions of the
method before addressing specific details and mechanics of their individual
implementations. Each chapter consists of four essays, one by each author,
introduced with the commonality of the authors writings. To see a video
demonstrating the Moore Method go to www.legacyrlmoore.org/mahavier.

Topology is a branch of mathematics packed with
intriguing concepts, fascinating geometrical objects,
and ingenious methods for studying them. The
authors have written this textbook to make this
material accessible to undergraduate students
without requiring extensive prerequisites in upper-
level mathematics. The approach is to cultivate the
intuitive ideas of continuity, convergence, and
connectedness so students can quickly delve into knot theory, the topology of
surfaces and three-dimensional manifolds, fixed points, and elementary homotopy
theory. The fundamental concepts of point-set topology appear at the end of the book
when students can see how this level of abstraction provides a sound logical basis for
the geometrical ideas that have come before. This organization exposes students to
the exciting geometrical ideas of topology now(!) rather than later.

James Albert
There is an active effort by people in the baseball
community to learn more about baseball
performance and strategy by the use of statistics.
This book illustrates basic methods of data analysis
and probability models by means of baseball
statistics collected on players and teams. Students
often have difficulty learning statistical concepts
since they are explained using examples that are foreign to the students. The idea of the
book is to describe statistical thinking in a context (that is, baseball) that will be familiar
and interesting to students.

authors will convince you that the same is true
when working with inequalities. They show how
to produce figures in a systematic way for the illustration of inequalities and open
new avenues to creative ways of thinking and teaching. In addition, a geometric
argument cannot only show two things unequal, but also help the observer see
just how unequal they are.
