Set Theory and Mathematics -- Name Index -- Portraits of Famous Mathematicians.A book about numbers sounds rather dull. This one is not. Instead it is a lively story about one thread of mathematics-the concept of "number"­ told by eight authors and organized into a historical narrative that leads the reader from ancient Egypt to the late twentieth century. It is a story that begins with some of the simplest ideas of mathematics and ends with some of the most complex. It is a story that mathematicians, both amateur and professional, ought to know. Why write about numbers? Mathematicians have always found it diffi­ cult to develop broad perspective about their subject. While we each view our specialty as having roots in the past, and sometimes having connec­ tions to other specialties in the present, we seldom see the panorama of mathematical development over thousands of years. Numbers attempts to give that broad perspective, from hieroglyphs to K-theory, from Dedekind cuts to nonstandard analysis.Readings in Mathematics ;123Number theoryNumber Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M25001Number theory.Number Theory.512/.7Ebbinghaus Heinz-Dieterauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut46491Hermes Hansauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autHirzebruch Friedrichauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autKoecher Maxauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMainzer Klausauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autNeukirch Jürgenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autPrestel Alexanderauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autRemmert Reinholdauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autEwing John Hedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910480566603321Numbers924836UNINA03587oam 2200697 450 99621008290331620201016235417.01-282-81958-597866128195821-897425-27-9(CKB)2470000000001978(EBL)617522(OCoLC)607927371(SSID)ssj0000382105(PQKBManifestationID)12122874(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000382105(PQKBWorkID)10392229(PQKB)10192780(MiAaPQ)EBC617522(CaBNvSL)slc00221976(CaPaEBR)424003(MiAaPQ)EBC3260526(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/49574(VaAlCD)20.500.12592/13c0th(EXLCZ)99247000000000197820080821d2008 uy dengurbn#---uuuuutxtccrHot thespian action! ten premiere plays from Walterdale Playhouse /edited with a critical introduction by Robin C.

Robin Whittaker argues that new plays can thrive in amateur theatres, which have freedoms unavailable to professionalised companies. And he proves it with ten relevant, engaging play scripts originally produced by one of Canada’s longest-running theatres, Edmonton’s acclaimed Walterdale Theatre Associates. This collection challenges notions that amateur theatre is solely a phenomenon of the pre-professional past. In this, the first North American anthology in eighty years, Whittaker makes an important contribution to Canadian theatre studies.
