VEDIC MATHEMATICS For Students


Book Description

VEDIC MATHEMATICS For Students, Level – 1 of 5 Series is the first book on Vedic Mathematics introducing the ancient techniques and fundamental concepts present in Mathematics. This book has detailed illustrations of all the methods explained in detail. This book helps students increase their ability and get into their comfort zone when solving problems. Vedic Mathematics can aspire young minds to be creative and improve lateral thinking. In ancient India, Mathematics was known by the general name Ganitha, which includes arithmetic, geometry, algebra, astronomy and astrology. In the field of Mathematics, ancient Indians made three distinct contributions – the notation system, the decimal system and the use of zero. The system discovered by Swami Bharathi Krishna Tirthaji is based on sixteen formulae (or sutras) and thirteen sub-formulae (upa-sutras). These sutras can be related to natural and mental functions such as completing a whole, noticing analogies, generalisation and so on. It provides one line, mental and super-fast methods along with quick cross-checking systems. It offers concepts, methods, tricks and shortcuts to workout complex mathematical problems fast, literally in few seconds without using calculators and computers. SALIENT FEATURES OF VEDIC MATHEMATICS: ü Removes fear of Mathematics ü Enables strong Logical thinking & Problem-Solving skills ü Enables Faster Calculations ü Improves Concentration ü Encourages Mental Calculations ü Encourages Multidimensional Thinking ü Develops Creativity




Origins of Mathematical Words


Book Description

The most comprehensive math root dictionary ever published. Outstanding Academic Title, Choice Do you ever wonder about the origins of mathematical terms such as ergodic, biholomorphic, and strophoid? Here Anthony Lo Bello explains the roots of these and better-known words like asymmetric, gradient, and average. He provides Greek, Latin, and Arabic text in its original form to enhance each explanation. This sophisticated, one-of-a-kind reference for mathematicians and word lovers is based on decades of the author's painstaking research and work. Origins of Mathematical Words supplies definitions for words such as conchoid (a shell-shaped curve derived from the Greek noun for "mussel") and zenith (Arabic for "way overhead"), as well as approximation (from the Latin proximus, meaning "nearest"). These and hundreds of other terms wait to be discovered within the pages of this mathematical and etymological treasure chest.

Understand Mathematics, Understand Computing


Book Description

In this book the authors aim to endow the reader with an operational, conceptual, and methodological understanding of the discrete mathematics that can be used to study, understand, and perform computing. They want the reader to understand the elements of computing, rather than just know them. The basic topics are presented in a way that encourages readers to develop their personal way of thinking about mathematics. Many topics are developed at several levels, in a single voice, with sample applications from within the world of computing. Extensive historical and cultural asides emphasize the human side of mathematics and mathematicians. By means of lessons and exercises on “doing” mathematics, the book prepares interested readers to develop new concepts and invent new techniques and technologies that will enhance all aspects of computing. The book will be of value to students, scientists, and engineers engaged in the design and use of computing systems, and to scholars and practitioners beyond these technical fields who want to learn and apply novel computational ideas.

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Mathematics


Book Description

Authoritative and reliable, this A-Z provides jargon-free definitions for even the most technical mathematical terms. With over 3,000 entries ranging from Achilles paradox to zero matrix, it covers all commonly encountered terms and concepts from pure and applied mathematics and statistics, for example, linear algebra, optimisation, nonlinear equations, and differential equations. In addition, there are entries on major mathematicians and on topics of more general interest, such as fractals, game theory, and chaos. Using graphs, diagrams, and charts to render definitions as comprehensible as possible, entries are clear and accessible. Almost 200 new entries have been added to this edition, including terms such as arrow paradox, nested set, and symbolic logic. Useful appendices follow the A-Z dictionary and include lists of Nobel Prize winners and Fields' medallists, Greek letters, formulae, and tables of inequalities, moments of inertia, Roman numerals, a geometry summary, additional trigonometric values of special angles, and many more. This edition contains recommended web links, which are accessible and kept up to date via the Dictionary of Mathematics companion website. Fully revised and updated in line with curriculum and degree requirements, this dictionary is indispensable for students and teachers of mathematics, and for anyone encountering mathematics in the workplace.
