She addresses the results of her investigations not principally to other historians, but to mathematicians and teachers of mathematics. This book brings together much of what she has had to say to this audience. The centerpiece of the book is The Calculus as Algebra: J.-L. Lagrange, 1736-1813. The book describes the achievements, setbacks, and influence of Lagrange's pioneering attempt to reduce the calculus to algebra. Nine additional articles round out the book describing the history of the derivative; the origin of delta-epsilon proofs; Descartes and problem solving; the contrast between the calculus of Newton and Maclaurin, and that of Lagrange; Maclaurin's way of doing mathematics and science and his surprisingly important influence; some widely held 'myths' about the history of mathematics; Lagrange's attempt to prove Euclid's parallel postulate; and the central role that mathematics has played throughout the history of western civilization. 410 0$aMAA spectrum. 606 $aCalculus$xHistory 606 $aFunctional analysis 606 $aMathematics$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCalculus$xHistory. 615 0$aFunctional analysis. 615 0$aMathematics$xHistory. 676 $a515 700 $aGrabiner$b Judith V$0536356 701 2$aGrabiner$b Judith V$0536356 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462191603321 996 $aA historian looks back$92114531 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02930nam 22005652 450 001 9910791747703321 005 20151002020706.0 010 $a1-61444-507-9 035 $a(CKB)2560000000081382 035 $a(OCoLC)794558980 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10722451 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000689159 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11423610 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000689159 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10617810 035 $a(PQKB)11303828 035 $a(UkCbUP)CR9781614445074 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3330340 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3330340 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10722451 035 $a(RPAM)1619076 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000081382 100 $a20111006d1995|||| uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aFive hundred mathematical challenges /$fEdward J.

Some are simple mathematical puzzlers while others are serious problems at the Olympiad level. Students of all levels of interest and ability will be entertained and taught by the book. For many problems, more than one solution is supplied so that students can see how different approaches can be taken to a problem and compare the elegance and efficiency of different tools that might be applied. Teachers at both the college and secondary levels will find the book useful, both for encouraging their students and for their own pleasure. Some of the problems can be used to provide a little spice in the regular curriculum by demonstrating the power of very basic techniques. This collection provides a solid base for students who wish to enter competitions at the Olympiad level. They can begin with easy problems and progress to more demanding ones. A special mathematical tool chest summarizes the results and techniques needed by competition-level students. 410 0$aMAA spectrum. 517 1 $a500 mathematical challenges 606 $aMathematics$vProblems, exercises, etc 615 0$aMathematics 676 $a510/.76 700 $aBarbeau$b Edward$f1938-$067749 702 $aKlamkin$b Murray S. 702 $aMoser$b W.

For the Chinese students who went abroad specifically to study Western art and literature, these trips meant something else entirely. Set against the backdrop of interwar Paris, Paris and the Art of Transposition uncovers previously marginalized archives to reveal the artistic strategies employed by Chinese artists and writers in the early twentieth-century transnational imaginary and to explain why Paris played such a central role in the global reception of modern Chinese literature and art. While previous studies of Chinese modernism have focused on how Western modernist aesthetics were adapted or translated to the Chinese context, Angie Chau does the opposite by turning to Paris in the Chinese imaginary and discussing the literary and visual artwork of five artists who moved between France and China: the painter Chang Yu, the poet Li Jinfa, art critic Fu Lei, the painter Pan Yuliang, and the writer Xu Xu. Chau draws the idea of transposition from music theory where it refers to shifting music from one key or clef to another, or to adapting a song originally composed for one instrument to be played by another. Transposing transposition to the study of art and literature, Chau uses the term to describe a fluid and strategic art practice that depends on the tension between foreign and familiar, new and old, celebrating both novelty and recognition--a process that occurs when a text gets placed into a fresh context. 410 0$aChina understandings today. 606 $aChinese students$zFrance$zParis$y20th century 606 $aAuthors, Chinese$zFrance$zParis$y20th century 606 $aArt, Chinese$zFrance$zParis$y20th century 606 $aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.)$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aParis (France)$xIntellectual life$y20th century 615 0$aChinese students 615 0$aAuthors, Chinese 615 0$aArt, Chinese 615 0$aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.)$xHistory 686 $aLIT000000$aLIT008010$aLIT020000$2bisacsh 700 $aChau$b Angie$01775096 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 912 $a9910747001303321 996 $aParis and the art of transposition$94289144 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02404oas 2200925 a 450 001 9910142981503321 005 20251105213014.0 011 $a1467-9701 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB1473825-9 035 $a(OCoLC)37447181 035 $a(CONSER) 2005233083 035 $a(CKB)954921393018 035 $a(EXLCZ)99954921393018 100 $a19970811a19779999 sy a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe World economy 210 $a[Oxford] $cBlackwell Publishers 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 311 08$a0378-5920 531 0 $aWorld econ. 606 $aInternational economic relations$vPeriodicals 606 $aInternational economic relations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00976891 606 $aInternationale economie$2gtt 606 $aHW_AF$2less 606 $aHW_IZW$2less 606 $aPolitique e?conomique internationale$2rasuqam 606 $aRelations e?conomiques internationales$2rasuqam 606 $aE?conomie internationale$2rasuqam 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2lcgft 608 $aPe?riodique e?lectronique (Descripteur de forme)$2rasuqam 608 $aRessource Internet (Descripteur de forme)$2rasuqam 615 0$aInternational economic relations 615 7$aInternational economic relations. 615 17$aInternationale economie. 615 7$aHW_AF 615 7$aHW_IZW 615 7$aPolitique e?conomique internationale. 615 7$aRelations e?conomiques internationales. 615 17$aE?conomie internationale. 676 $a382.1 801 0$bF#A 801 1$bF#A 801 2$bOCL 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCL 801 2$bOCLCS 801 2$bGUA 801 2$bUQ1 801 2$bCIT 801 2$bGUA 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bRCE 801 2$bNLE 801 2$bEZC 801 2$bUKMGB 801 2$bVT2 801 2$bNJT 801 2$bSFB 801 2$bUEJ 801 2$bIOY 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bUAB 801 2$bAUD 801 2$bOCLCL 801 2$bLND 801 2$bCSU 801 2$bLIP 801 2$bOCLCQ 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910142981503321 996 $aWorld Economy$9449103 997 $aUNINA
