Acutely aware of the need for rigor, the student is much better prepared to understand what constitutes a proper mathematical proof and how to write one.Fifteen years of classroom experience with the first edition of Understanding Analysis have solidified and refined the central narrative of the second edition.

Poole’s "Linear Algebra: A Modern Introduction, Cengage International Edition", 5th, emphasizes a vectors approach and prepares students to transition from computational to theoretical mathematics. Balancing theory and applications, the conversational writing style combines traditional presentation with student-centered learning. Theoretical, computational, and applied topics are presented in a flexible, integrated way. Stressing geometric understanding before computational techniques, vect...

Originally published in 2001, reissued as part of Pearson's modern classic series.

The author's goal for the book is that it's clearly written, could be read by a calculus student and would motivate them to engage in the material and learn more. Moreover, to create a text in which exposition, graphics, and layout would work together to enhance all facets of a student's calculus experience. They paid special attention to certain aspects of the text:1.

Clear, accessible exposition that anticipates and addresses student difficulties.2. Layout and figures that communicate the f...

Designed for all teachers, this book provides a wealth of materials and resources to support the needs of learners, aged 6 to 14 years, who have difficulty with maths and number.

This book is a self-contained treatment of all the mathematics needed by undergraduate and masters-level students of economics. Building up gently from a very low level, the authors provide a clear, systematic coverage of calculus and matrix algebra. The second half of the book gives a thorough account of probability, optimisation and dynamics.The emphasis throughout is on intuitive argument and problem-solving.

All methods are illustrated by examples, exercises and problems selected from cen...

How many things are there in holy Scripture which may not well be understood without some meane skill in Geometry? The Fabricke and bignesse of Noah's Arke: The Sciagraphy of the Temple set out by Ezechiel, Who may understand, but he that is skilfull in these Arts? I speake not of many and sundry words both in the New and Old Testaments, whose genuine and proper signification is merely Geometricall: And cannot well be conceived but of a Geometer.

To the Reader:

Friendly Reader, that which i...
