Fractions of this form provide much insight into many mathematical problems — particularly into the nature of numbers — and the theory of continued fractions is a powerful tool in number theory and other mathematical disciplines. The author of this book presents an easy-going discussion of simple continued fractions, beginning with an account of how rational fractions can be expanded into continued fractions. Gradually the reader is introduced to such topics as the application of continued fractions to the solution of Diophantine equations, and the expansion of irrational numbers into infinite continued fractions.Continued fractionsSeriesElectronic books.Continued fractions.Series.512.73Olds C.

The Timurids travelled south: establishing themselves as the new rulers of a region roughly comprising modern Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern India, and founding what would become the Mughal Empire (1526-1857). The last survivors of the House of Timur, the Mughals drew invaluable political capital from their lineage, which was recognized for its charismatic genealogy and court culture - the features of which are examined here. By identifying Mughal loyalty to Turco-Mongol institutions and traditions, Lisa Balabanlilar here positions the Mughal dynasty at the centre of the early modern Islamic world as the direct successors of a powerful political and religious tradition." --Provided by publisher.Library of South Asian history and culture ;v. 1.TimuridsHistoryAsian historyBICIndiaHistory1526-1765Mogul EmpireHistoryTimuridsHistory.Asian history.954.025Balabanlilar Lisa1958-1798708UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910957678803321Imperial identity in the Mughal Empire4341614UNINA
