Beschreibung

Fractals and Chaos: An Illustrated Course provides you with a practical, elementary introduction to fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics-subjects that have attracted immense interest throughout the scientific and engineering disciplines. The book may be used in part or as a whole to form an introductory course in either or both subject areas. A prominent feature of the book is the use of many illustrations to convey the concepts required for comprehension of the subject. In addition, plenty of problems are provided to test understanding.

Rezensionen

This puzzle collection is a great assortment of mathematical-logical thought cultivators. It presents novel puzzles interspersed with a handful of classics. These challenging brainteasers will set students on a path of deductive reasoning.
-Michael Davis, Mathematics Teacher, November 2012

This is a perfectly delightful book which will provide many hours of pleasure to the mathematically inclined child or adult. It would be a nice birthday present, for example.
-Norman R. Draper, International Statistical Review, 2012

Train Your Brain is an enjoyable way to exercise your brain and spend a few spare minutes during the day. While this collection of math and logic puzzles vary in depth and complexity, they are certainly challenging enough to keep anyone engaged. I found the structure of Grätzer's book to be particularly appealing. ... I really enjoyed solving and attempting to solve the puzzles presented in this book. ... most could be solved by anyone froman advanced high school student to a college student with a solid background in mathematics. There is something for everyone in this book.
