Books Descriptions
MATHEMATICAL EXCURSIONS, Third Edition, teaches students that
mathematics is a system of knowing and understanding our surroundings.
For example, sending information across the Internet is better
understood when one understands prime numbers; the perils of radioactive
waste take on new meaning when one understands exponential functions;
and the efficiency of the flow of traffic through an intersection is more
interesting after seeing the system of traffic lights represented in a
mathematical form. Students will learn those facets of mathematics that
strengthen their quantitative understanding and expand the way they
know, perceive, and comprehend their world. We hope you enjoy the
journey.
