Discrete Thoughts: Essays on Mathematics, Science and Philosophy (2nd Edition) (Modern Birkhäuser Classics) Summary:By M. Kac, G.C. Rota, J. Schwartz
Product Description: This is a volume of essays and reviews that delightfuly explore mathematics in all its moods - from the light and the witty, and humorous to serious, rational, and cerebral. Topics include: logic, combinatorics, statistics, economics, artifical intellligence, computer science, and applications of mathematics broadly. You will also find history and philosophy covered, including discussion of the work of Ulam, Kant, and Heidegger among others. Summary: An enlightening book on mathematics Rating: 4 This is an unusual book on the discipline of mathematics. Don't look here for the usual fluffy collages of fractals, chaos theory and hagiographies. What this book offers is a collection of essays on the state and nature of mathematics by three top mathematicians. They're honestly worried about the schism between math and science, interested in the effect the computer could have on math, critical about the mathematical establishment. They're completely honest, and their criticisms are incisive and well reasoned. This book is food for thought, and not only about math. The authors differ in their writing styles. While all three have good essays, Rota is a fantastic writer, and his mixture of serious thought, pith and gossip is completely refreshing. You should also read (before this book) Rota's "Indiscrete Thoughts". password: gigapedia.com Please select one mirror to download
