La matematica rivista come prassi politica, e non solo come teoria, è un formidabile esercizio di democrazia: come la democrazia si fonda su un sistema di regole, crea comunità e lavora sulle relazioni. Come la democrazia, la matematica amplia ma non nega. Studiando matematica si capiscono molte cose sulla verità. Per esempio che le verità sono partecipate e pertanto i principî di autorità non esistono; che le verità sono tutte assolute ma tutte transitorie perché dipendono dall'insieme di definizione e dalle condizioni al contorno.

I hope you’re reading this while on a bus, commuting to work, getting ready to face the customers or bosses. I wanna rest your mind a bit, before all the hassle of day to day life hits. I know how it feels, I’m living through it. I’m typing this on my phone still deciding if I’m ready to share my personal space to the world. But this world gives me peace and a daily lift, readying me for the day and calming me for the night. I hope to the few people that hear this, try what I did. Make a place where everything is as you want it to be, a place where stress and depression, will be ...

En 1637, Descartes révolutionne la manière que l'on a de faire de la géométrie : il pose les bases de ce que l'on appelle la "géométrie algébrique", qui associe, à chaque point de l'espace, 3 coordonnées. Cela permet de résoudre des problèmes géométriques avec des outils algébriques. Cette géométrie est dite "commutative", c'est-à-dire que le produit de deux quantités ne dépend pas de l'ordre des termes : A × B = B × A. Cette propriété est fondamentale, et l'ensemble de l'édifice mathématique en dépend.

Amazon best-selling author and professor of mathematics Professor B. D. uses his teaching talents to explain the mathematics behind the lottery and uses statistics in a way that anyone can learn and understand to introduce a new, "smarter" method on how to play the lottery. As he promises, there are no tricks or gimmicks here, just sound mathematical principles.

We live in a world that is not quite "right." The central tenet of statistical inquiry is that Observation = Truth + Error because even the most careful of scientific investigations have always been bedeviled by uncertainty. Our attempts to measure things are plagued with small errors. Our attempts to understand our world are blocked by blunders. And, unfortunately, in some cases, people have been known to lie.

Are you fascinated by the laws of nature, quantum physics, and its basic concepts that seem meaningless? Quantum mechanics is a field that attempts to understand the behavior of subatomic objects using mathematical notions. The book explains uncertainty and time dependence by further elaborating on the principles of quantum states. It also describes the entanglement of particle and wave states, thereby offering interested listeners the possibility of understanding physics at a slower tempo.

¿Qué son las matemáticas? ¿Para qué sirven? ¿Por qué es importante conocer su historia? Estas son algunas de las preguntas a las que da respuesta esta obra que nos narra de forma concisa la historia de esta ciencia desde la Prehistoria hasta nuestros días. Pero esta narración no es solamente una superposición de personajes históricos y de sus felices descubrimientos, sino que es una reivindicación de los componentes emocionales, incluso irracionales, que muchas veces han acompañado las actitudes apasionadas de estos célebres personajes, empeñados en buscar soluciones...

"¿Quién escucharía un audiolibro sobre matemáticas sin que le obliguen?". Porque al escuchar sobre ellas se corren varios riesgos.... Tal vez cambiemos nuestra idea sobre las matemáticas, con las que hemos vivido tan cómodamente todo este tiempo, y es posible que terminen por gustarnos. Este audiolibro te mostrará que las matemáticas no son tan odiosas como aparentan; en ellas interviene la creatividad, la intuición, el cálculo, la imaginación, la técnica. Son una oportunidad de disfrutar de la realidad de una forma distinta.

In today's world, analysis has become an extremely important aspect to consider when you are thinking of starting any new line of business or even when it comes to purchasing a new house. The unfortunate fact is that not many people know what analysis is all about. They tend to assume that each of the elements – analysis, business intelligence, algorithms and statistical analysis – are different entities when in reality they are all interlinked. This book will help you gather a greater insight on all the elements. And you will gain an in-depth knowledge on each of these elements in different parts of the book; helping you to increase your knowledge and widen your horizons!

Choices can be overwhelming. But you don’t need to give up on the things that you want just because you have a history of making the worst decisions. With the help of game theory, you will learn to adapt a more rational, effective, and analytical way to formulate your decisions and land the outcome that you’ve always wanted. More often than not, decisions based on merely feelings can lead to chaos and dissatisfaction. It will always be better to use your head in making a choice, especially in major deals such as in your business and personal affairs.

En los años 40, al arquitecto Rafael de La-Hoz Arderius le encargaron que buscara el rastro de la proporción áurea en el patrimonio de la ciudad de Córdoba. No la halló. Sin embargo, encontró otra proporción menos esbelta, más achatada; una pauta arquitectónica que se repetía y ante la que los cordobeses parecían ver el canon de belleza. De su investigación nació la denominada “proporción cordobesa”. Este es el relato sonoro de aquella investigación matemática y arquitectónica universal.Una producción de Tacet, dirigida por el arquitecto Rafael Obrero Guisado y con guion...

Why does this podcast sound like a train name?When you were a kid, it wasn’t electromechanical devices that peaked your interest in engineering, it was boats, planes, cars, trains, or other big interesting things. Those items triggered a passion for engineering that led you to where you are today, but what is going to carry you further than that?Knowledge. Passion. Momentum. Knowledge itself is like a train, with each discovery connected to those before it, the train grows longer. Passion is the fuel of that train. A drive to understand, improve, and consider more than you could even ...

Pythagoras of Samos, born around 570 BCE, is one of history’s most celebrated and enigmatic figures. Revered as a mathematician, philosopher, and spiritual leader, his contributions transcend disciplines, leaving a legacy that continues to shape modern thought. Known best for the Pythagorean Theorem, a fundamental concept in geometry, Pythagoras’s influence extends far beyond mathematics. His ideas in philosophy, cosmology, and ethics laid the groundwork for Western intellectual traditions and established him as a pioneer of interdisciplinary thinking. Yet, much of his life remains cloaked...

Aralık ayında başlayan bu 5 dakikalık köşede matematik konuşuyoruz. Boğaziçi Üniversitesi profesörlerinden Betül Tanbay’ın hazırladığı bu köşede; her dinleyicide hiç olmazsa bir kere, bir salise bile olsa matematiğe dair merak uyandırmayı, bir soru sordurmayı amaçlıyor. / Hazırlayan ve Sunan: Betül Tanbay

A podcast where logic meets lunacy, and graphs guide the way through the madness! Join us as we explore the beautiful intersections of mathematical logic, graph theory, discrete math, computer science, and the quirky chaos of everyday life. From proving theorems to untangling graph traversals, we’ll connect seemingly random dots to create a web of ideas that’s as entertaining as it is enlightening.

Numeri, figure geometriche e relazioni matematiche sono dovunque attorno a noi, talvolta in forma evidente, più spesso annidati nei meccanismi di funzionamento dell'universo. Ma in che modo - e perché - queste creazioni astratte della mente umana riescono a descrivere il mondo concreto dei fenomeni naturali, da quelli più familiari a quelli che hanno luogo nelle profondità della materia e del cosmo? Un filosofo e uno scienziato esplorano la capillare presenza della matematica nella natura, raccontando alcune delle sue manifestazioni più curiose e affascinanti.
