Symmetry arguments are a powerful tool in teaching such concepts as hybridization, group and molecular orbitals, selection rules in absorption spectroscopy, crystal structure, and other subjects. This book, devoted exclusively to symmetry

This remarkable book takes a unique approach to linear algebra, presenting a logically interconnected sequence of 2,400 propositions and problems with hints and pointers, but without proofs. Advanced undergraduates and graduate students

Vivid, readable, and accurate, these tales of landmark scientific inquiries include Aristotle's work on the embryology of the chick, Galileo's discovery of the law of descent, Newton's experiment on the nature of

With the objective of making into a science the art of verifying computer programs (debugging), the author addresses both practical and theoretical aspects. Subjects include computability (with discussions of finite automata and

Two most important essays by the famous German mathematician: First provides an arithmetic, rigorous foundation for the irrational numbers, thereby a rigorous meaning of continuity in analysis. Second is an attempt to

Aimed at the layman as well as the student or professional in mathematics, this book explains the structure of the nine regular solids-tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron among them-as well as many

Coherent, well organized text familiarizes readers with complete theory of logical inference and its applications to math and the empirical sciences. Part I deals with formal principles of inference and definition; Part

This introduction to combinatorial analysis defines the subject as "the number of ways there are of doing some well-defined operation." Chapter 1 surveys that part of the theory of permutations and combinations

Conceived by the author as an introduction to "why the calculus works" (otherwise known as "analysis"), this volume represents a critical reexamination of the infinite processes encountered in elementary mathematics. Part I

This elementary introduction pays special attention to aspects of tensor calculus and relativity that students tend to find most difficult. Its use of relatively unsophisticated mathematics in the early chapters allows readers

This text covers several aspects and solutions of the problems of linear vibrating systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom. It offers a detailed account of the part of the
