Soft cover. Zustand: New. Contents: Preface. 1. Algebra in Mesopotamia. 2. Algebra in ancient Greece. 3. Algebra in the Islamic world. 4. Algebra in medieval Europe. 5. Algebra in the Renaissance. Appendices. Index. This text should not be viewed as a comprehensive history of algebra before 1600, but as a basic introduction to the types of problems that illustrate the earliest forms of algebra. It would be particularly useful for an instructor who is looking for examples to help enliven a course on elementary algebra with problems drawn from actual historical texts. Warren Van Egmond about the French edition for MathSciNet This book does not aim to give an exhaustive survey of the history of algebra up to early modern times but merely to present some significant steps in solving equations and, wherever applicable, to link these developments to the extension of the number system. Various examples of problems, with their typical solution methods, are analyzed, and sometimes translated completely. Indeed, it is another aim of this book to ease the reader s access to modern editions of old mathematical texts, or even to the original texts; to this end, some of the problems discussed in the text have been reproduced in the appendices in their original language (Greek, Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, French, German, Provencal, and Italian) with explicative notes. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An investigation into the predecessors of the magic cube. Magic cubes are generally considered to have been invented in the second half of the nineteenth century, when the conditions for a cube to be called magic were established: it must display the same sum in each horizontal, vertical, and front-to-back row, as well as in the four internal diagonals of the cube. However, during the preceding seven centuries, constructions of magic cubes had already begun, but obeying other definitions. The first study is found in twelfth-century Persia. Then, Pierre de Fermat (1601-1665) dealt with them in the seventeenth century. Unaware of the existence of predecessors and with a different design, the Frenchman Joseph Sauveur (1653-1716) taught a construction method that was adopted in Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's (1646-1716) circle. This method was expanded in the 1830s but fell into oblivion with the modern definition of the magic cube.…

Tiré-à-part. Zustand: Gut. p. 21-32, 7 fig, 1 pl. De la bibliothèque du professeur Wolfgang Haase, éditeur de longue date de l'ANRW et de l'International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Nom de l'auteur manuscrit sur la couverture, sinon bon et propre. - Extrait du texte : La partie de l½uvre dArchimède qui nous est parvenue par lintermédiaire des Byzantins descend essentiellement de trois manuscrits: Le plus important d'entre eux fut copié à Byzance, peut-être au IXe siècle à linitiative de Léon le Mathématicien; on le retrouve en Sicile au XIIe siècle, puis à la Cour papale de Viterbe où il est utilisé en 1269 par Guillaume de Moerbeke pour sa version latine dArchimède. Ce manuscrit est perdu depuis le milieu du XVIe siècle; mais, grâce aux copies qui en ont été faites entretemps, nous connaissons le texte grec de cinq traités de mathématique (De la sphère et du cylindre, De la mesure du cercle, Des conoïdes et des sphéroïdes, Des spirales, lArénaire) et deux de mécanique (De léquilibre des plans, De la quadrature de la parabole).

Gr.-8°, Ppbd. VIII, 236 S.; mit 83 s/w-Abb. Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // The recently discovered Arabic translation of an anonymous ancient treatise describing advanced methods for constructing magic squares has improved our knowledge of Greek mathematics considerably. The early tenth-century translator reports that he found two manuscripts of this treatise, for the greater part damaged by termites. However, since the preserved parts of one made up for the destroyed parts of the other, he could manage to complete his work. This translation was then the starting point for studies on magic squares in Arabic. It appears thus that there existed Greek studies on the subject of magic squares, and at a remarkable stage of advancement. But this being the only text preserved, we are left in ignorance of the earlier history. ISBN: 9783515128520 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 578.…
