Description: De opkomst van de beschaving en ontwikkelingen in de wiskunde zijn hand in hand gegaan. Wiskundige vernieuwing maakte navigatie op oceanen mogelijk en daarmee de ontdekking van nieuwe landen. Mobiele telefoons zouden niet werken zonder de mogelijkheid van calculaties in tien dimensies en we maken dagelijks gebruik van abstracte algebra (ja, iedereen, elke dag opnieuw). Veel van wat we als normaal beschouwen - van internet en bruggen tot ruimtevaart en financiƫle beurzen - berust op wiskundige vooruitgang. Kortom: onze wereld zou niet kunnen functioneren zonder wiskunde.Ian Stewart ziet het al vele jaren als zijn taak om wiskunde bij het grote publiek toegankelijk en populair te maken. Voor zijn werk ontving hij de Michael Faraday Medal en hij werd fellow van de Royal Society in 2001. Hij is adviseur wiskunde van New Scientist en hoogleraar wiskunde aan de universiteit van Warwick. Hij schreef meer dan 20 boeken op het gebied van wiskunde We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
