Demonstrationes geometrica', dat is, Het slingeruurwerk, oftewel, Over de beweging van slingers toegepast in uurwerken. Meetkundige bewijzen. En het boek geeft precies wat de titel belooft. Het opent met de beschrijving van een slingeruurwerk dat zó nauwkeurig loopt dat het gebruikt kan worden voor de bepaling ...

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.

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...
