It aims to set a meeting between two relatives who rarely speak to each other: the Mathematics of Beauty, which shows up in some popular books and films, and the Mathematics of Toil, which is widely known. Toil can be overcome through an appropriate method of work. Beauty will be found in the achievement of a way of thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first part concerns the mathematical language: the expressions “for all”, “there exists”, “implies”, “is false”, ...; what is a proof by contradiction; how to use indices, sums, induction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second part tackles specific difficulties: to study a definition, to understand an idea and apply it, to fix a slightly wrong argument, to discuss suggestions, to explain a proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe third part presents\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003ecustomary techniques and points of view in college mathematics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe reader can choose one of three difficulty levels (A, B, C).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-08-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319913544\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-91355-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 398\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Zanichelli editore S.p.A.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47707966341260,"sku":"9783319913544","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319913544.jpg?v=1776780174","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319913544","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
