. . . that departed from the traditional dry-as-dust mathematics textbook. (M. Kline, from the Preface to the paperback edition of Kline 1972) Also for this reason, I have taken the trouble to make a great number of drawings. (Brieskom & Knorrer, Plane algebraic curves, p. ii) . . . I should like to bring up again for emphasis . . . points, in which my exposition differs especially from the customary presentation in the text- books: 1. Illustration of abstract considerations by means of figures. 2. Emphasis upon its relation to neighboring fields, such as calculus of dif- ferences and interpolation . . . 3. Emphasis upon historical growth. It seems to me extremely important that precisely the prospective teacher should take account of all of these. (F. Klein 1908, Eng\. ed. p. 236) Traditionally, a rigorous first course in Analysis progresses (more or less) in the following order: limits, sets, '* continuous '* derivatives '* integration. mappings functions On the other hand, the historical development of these subjects occurred in reverse order: Archimedes Cantor 1875 Cauchy 1821 Newton 1665 . ;::: Kepler 1615 Dedekind . ;::: Weierstrass . ;::: Leibniz 1675 Fermat 1638 In this book, with the four chapters Chapter I. Introduction to Analysis of the Infinite Chapter II. Differential and Integral Calculus Chapter III. Foundations of Classical Analysis Chapter IV. Calculus in Several Variables, we attempt to restore the historical order, and begin in Chapter I with Cardano, Descartes, Newton, and Euler's famous Introductio.

Das bewährte Praktikumsbuch nimmt dich an die Hand und zeigt dir: - den richtigen Umgang mit dem Lichtmikroskop - Grundlagen der Elektronenmikroskopie - wichtige Schnitt- und Färbetechniken - Interpretation von Gewebeschnitten - Zeichnen von Zellen und Geweben aller üblicherweise im Kurs behandelten Themen. Jeder einzelne Schritt vom Präparieren bis hin zum Zeichnen ist im Text anschaulich beschrieben und grafisch illustriert. Die brillanten Fotos verdeutlichen wichtige Bauprinzipien und illustrieren pflanzliche Strukturen, wie du sie noch nicht gesehen hast. Alle Informationen zu einem Thema sind auf inhaltlich abgeschlossenen Doppelseiten angeordnet - so musst du während des Mikroskopierens nicht umblättern. Unverzichtbar für deinen Anfängerkurs - tauche ein in die faszinierende Welt der Botanik.

This instructive guide to scanning electron microscopy helps to master the different modes of this powerful analytical technique, with an abundance of hands-on practical advice.

The first two chapters show how the ancient calculations of practical problems led to infinite series, differential and integral calculus and to differential equations.

This book covers the solution of stiff differential equations and of differential-algebraic systems. This second edition contains new material including numerical tests, recent progress in numerical differential-algebraic equations, and improved FORTRAN codes.

In this textbook the authors present first-year geometry roughly in the order in which it was discovered. The first five chapters show how the ancient Greeks established geometry, together with its numerous practical applications, while more recent findings on Euclidian geometry are discussed as well.

This book covers numerical methods that preserve properties of Hamiltonian systems, reversible systems, differential equations on manifolds and problems with highly oscillatory solutions.

This book deals with methods for solving nonstiff ordinary differential equations. The reader will benefit from many illustrations, a historical and didactic approach, and computer programs. This new edition has been rewritten and new material has been included.
