But professional mathematicians, in dealing with quantities that can be ordered according to their size, often are more interested in unequal magnitudes that are equal. This book provides an introduction to the fascinating world of inequalities beginning with a systematic discussion of the relation 'greater than' and the meaning of 'absolute values' of numbers, and ending with descriptions of some unusual geometries. In the course of the book, the reader will encounter some of the more famous inequalities in mathematics. Starting with the basic order properties of real numbers, this book carries the reader through the classical inequalities of Cauchy, Minkowsky and Hörder with many variants and applications. The concluding chapter points the way to other metrics in the plane and the interrelations between geometry (convexity) and algebra (inequalities).Anneli Lax New Mathematical LibraryInequalities (Mathematics)Processes, InfiniteElectronic books.Inequalities (Mathematics)Processes, Infinite.512Beckenbach Edwin F1423Bellman Richard121312MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465724803321An Introduction to inequalities2147878UNINA01326nam0 22002893i 450 VAN025660720230403113115.998N978-3-030-97315-520230403d2022 |0itac50 baengCH|||| |||||Participatory Mapping of Territoriality Across Florida’s BeachesJohn D.

McCloskey at Chicago --Contributors --IndexMost of the existing research on economic history relies either solely or ultimately on calculations of material interest to explain the major events of the modern world. However, care must be taken not to rely too heavily on materialism, with its associated confidence in perfectly rational actors that simply do not exist. What is needed for a more cogent understanding of the long history of capitalist growth is a more realistic, human-centered approach that can take account of the role of nonmaterial values and beliefs, an approach convincingly articulated by Deirdre McCloskey in her landmark trilogy of books on the moral and ethical basis of modern economic life. With Humanism Challenges Materialism in Economics and Economic History, Roderick Floud, Santhi Hejeebu, and David Mitch have brought together a distinguished group of scholars in economics, economic history, political science, philosophy, gender studies, and communications who synthesize and build on McCloskey's work. The essays in this volume illustrate the ways in which the humanistic approach to economics that McCloskey pioneered can open up new vistas for the study of economic history and cultivate rich synergies with a wide range of disciplines. The contributors show how values and beliefs become embedded in the language of economics and shape economic outcomes. Chapters on methodology are accompanied by case studies discussing particular episodes in economic history.EconomicsPhilosophyEconomic historyPhilosophyHumanismValuesSocial valuesEconomicsPhilosophy.Economic historyPhilosophy.Humanism.Values.Social values.330.01QB 100rvkFloud Roderickedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHejeebu Santhiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMitch Davidedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910162691303321Humanism Challenges Materialism in Economics and Economic History2060364UNINA
