Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Ada, condesa de Lovelace (1815-1852), fue hija del poeta romántico Lord Byron y su esposa, Anna Isabella. A pesar de ser una actividad inusual para las jóvenes de la época, estudió ciencias y matemáticas desde muy pronto y habitualmente se la considera la primera programadora informática del mundo, por lo que se ha convertido en un icono para las mujeres en el ámbito de la tecnología. Este libro utiliza material de archivo inédito para explorar su infancia precoz, desde sus ideas sobre un caballo volador a vapor hasta preguntas penetrantes sobre la naturaleza de los arcoíris. Persona muy activa en la élite social y científica del Londres victoriano junto con Mary Somerville, Michael Faraday y Charles Dickens, Ada Lovelace quedó fascinada con las máquinas informáticas ideadas por Charles Babbage y desarrolló una tabla de fórmulas matemáticas que se ha llegado a considerar el «primer programa informático». Este libro muestra cómo nuestra protagonista, con una asombrosa clarividencia, exploró cuestiones matemáticas claves para entender los principios de la informática moderna. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The theory of semigroups is a relatively young branch of mathematics, with most of the major results having appeared after the Second World War. This book describes the evolution of (algebraic) semigroup theory from its earliest origins to the establishment of a full-fledged theory. Semigroup theory might be termed 'Cold War mathematics' because of the time during which it developed. There were thriving schools on both sides of the Iron Curtain, although the two sides were not always able to communicate with each other, or even gain access to the other's publications. A major theme of this book is the comparison of the approaches to the subject of mathematicians in East and West, and the study of the extent to which contact between the two sides was possible.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The tremendous growth of the mathematical sciences in the early modern world was reflected contemporaneously in an increasingly sophisticated level of practical mathematics in fields such as merchants' accounts, instrument making, teaching, navigation, and gauging. In many ways, mathematics shaped the knowledge culture of the age, infiltrating workshops, dockyards, and warehouses, before extending through the factories of the Industrial Revolution to the trading companies and banks of the nineteenth century. While theoretical developments in the history of mathematics have been made the topic of numerous scholarly investigations, in many cases based around the work of key figures such as Descartes, Huygens, Leibniz, or Newton, practical mathematics, especially from the seventeenth century onwards, has been largely neglected. The present volume, comprising fifteen essays by leading authorities in the history of mathematics, seeks to fill this gap by exemplifying the richness, diversity, and breadth of mathematical practice from the seventeenth century through to the middle of the nineteenth century.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Established in the early seventeenth century following a bequest to the university by Sir William Sedley, Oxford's Sedleian Professorship of Natural Philosophy is one of the university's oldest professorships. In common with other such positions established around this time, such as the Savilian Professorships of Geometry and Astronomy, for example, its purpose was to provide centrally organised lectures on a specific subject. While the Professorship is now a high-profile research post in applied mathematics, it has previously been held by physicians, an astronomer, and several people in the eighteenth century whose credentials in natural philosophy are much less clear. This edited volume traces the varied history of the chair through the first four centuries of its existence, combining specialised contributions from historians of medicine, of science, of mathematics, and of universities, together with personal reminiscences of some of the more recent holders of the post.…
