Beyond the Quadratic Formula
Author: Ron Irving
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 147045176X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
The quadratic formula for the solution of quadratic equations was discovered independently by scholars in many ancient cultures and is familiar to everyone. Less well known are formulas for solutions of cubic and quartic equations whose discovery was the high point of 16th century mathematics. Their study forms the heart of this book, as part of the broader theme that a polynomial's coefficients can be used to obtain detailed information on its roots. The book is designed for self-study, with many results presented as exercises and some supplemented by outlines for solution. The intended audience includes in-service and prospective secondary mathematics teachers, high school students eager to go beyond the standard curriculum, undergraduates who desire an in-depth look at a topic they may have unwittingly skipped over, and the mathematically curious who wish to do some work to unlock the mysteries of this beautiful subject.

Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
This book collects 100 ancient Chinese herbal recipes containing more than 140 herbs for natural beauty. These include imperial formulas used by emperors and empresses in ancient China, and secret time-tested formulas handed down in generations. These recipes have been used and proven effective for hundreds of years. They were designed by famous traditional Chinese medicine doctors, such as “the king of medicine†Simiao Sun. Many of these recipes have never been disclosed in the West as this is the first English translation of these valuable herbal recipes. Each recipe is explained with Chinese medicine and available scientific studies. Recipes for pampering every part of the body are included, such as shampoos, facial cleansers, moisturizers, lip balms, mouth rinses, bath soaps, and formulas for weight loss.

Euler's Gem
Author: David S. Richeson
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691191999
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
How a simple equation reshaped mathematics Leonhard Euler’s polyhedron formula describes the structure of many objects—from soccer balls and gemstones to Buckminster Fuller’s buildings and giant all-carbon molecules. Yet Euler’s theorem is so simple it can be explained to a child. From ancient Greek geometry to today’s cutting-edge research, Euler’s Gem celebrates the discovery of Euler’s beloved polyhedron formula and its far-reaching impact on topology, the study of shapes. Using wonderful examples and numerous illustrations, David Richeson presents this mathematical idea’s many elegant and unexpected applications, such as showing why there is always some windless spot on earth, how to measure the acreage of a tree farm by counting trees, and how many crayons are needed to color any map. Filled with a who’s who of brilliant mathematicians who questioned, refined, and contributed to a remarkable theorem’s development, Euler’s Gem will fascinate every mathematics enthusiast. This paperback edition contains a new preface by the author.

Oath Formulas in Biblical Hebrew
Author: Blane Conklin
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 1575066289
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 119
Book Description
The eponymous protagonist of the biblical story of Ruth, a Moabite widow, is so desperate to follow her widowed mother-in-law back to Israel that she swears an oath. Regardless of the translation one may choose, the sense is the same: Ruth promises to stick by Naomi’s side for at least as long as they both shall live. Ruth’s intention with respect to the two widows’ proximity once they cross the final river is not so unanimous in the translations, however. According to the NRSV, Ruth says: (1) “May the Lord do thus and so to me, and more as well, if even death parts me from you!” The njpsv is representative of many other translations with its rendering: (2) “Thus and more may the Lord do to me if anything but death parts me from you.” The difference may seem trivial, but the contradiction between the italicized phrases is total. Either death will not ultimately separate them, or it will, in Ruth’s view. The issue here is not a theological one, nor is this an archaeological issue. Rather, the issue is of a linguistic nature. What does the Hebrew phrase mean? The solution to the problem is fairly straightforward. The first step is to recognize that Ruth’s statement is an oath. Oaths often employ formulaic, elliptical phrases. Therefore, it is necessary to gather together in one place as many of these formulas as possible so that the patterns, tendencies, and divergences may be seen within a larger matrix. Conklin’s study intriguingly compiles precisely these phrases and formulas in order to solve the mystery of interpreting Biblical Hebrew oath formulas.
