Techniques of Variational Analysis

The digital era has dramatically changed the ways that researchers search, produce, publish, and disseminate their scientific work. These processes are still rapidly evolving due to improvements in information science, new achievements in computer science technologies, and initiatives such as DML and open access journals, digitization projects, sci

Communicating Mathematics in the Digital Era

Keith Devlin

Papier und Bleistift wurden lange als die einzigen Hilfsmittel der Mathematiker betrachtet (einige würden hier auch noch den Papierkorb dazuzählen). Wie in vielen anderen Gebieten auch, hat allerdings in den letzten Jahren der Einsatz von Computern in der Mathematik stark zugenommen und somit die Rolle des Experiments in der Mathematik erweitert und legitimiert. Wie können Mathematiker den Computer als Werkzeug benutzen? Und kann er vielleicht nicht nur als Werkzeug, sondern sogar als Mitarbeiter eingesetzt werden? Keith Devlin und Jonathan Borwein, zwei bekannte Mathematiker mit Expertise in unterschiedlichen mathematischen Spezialgebieten, aber mit einem gemeinsamen Interesse am Experimentieren in der Mathematik, haben sich für diese Einführung in die experimentelle Mathematik zusammengetan. Sie behandeln eine Vielfalt an Themen und Beispielen, um dem Leser einen guten Einblick in die aktuelle Entwicklung dieses rasch wachsenden neuen Gebietes zu geben. Die Darstellung ist klar und übersichtlich; die Erläuterungen sind durch historische Fakten und Geschichten von Mathematikern und deren Begegnungen mit dem Gebiet der experimentellen Mathematik angereichert. Stimme zur Originalausgabe: “Das Buch wird für jeden Leser für Interesse sein, der anhand Kostproben kennen lernen möchte, wie man mathematische Problem mit einem Computer löst. Es macht nichts, wenn die Leser nicht viele mathematische Kenntnisse mitbringen: Sie können das Wesentliche des Buchs verstehen und Spaß dabei haben, einige Fragestellungen experimentell zu erforschen.“ Valentina Dagienë, Zentralblatt MATH

An Introduction to Continued Fractions

Neverending Fractions

William M. Farmer

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Mathematical Knowledge Management, MKM 2006, held in Wokingham, UK, August 2006. The book presents 22 revised full papers. Coverage extends to the mathematical knowledge management at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, library science, and scientific publishing. The papers are organized in topical sections on proof representations, proof processing, knowledge extraction, knowledge representation, as well as systems and tools.

Mathematical Knowledge Management

How do we recognize that the number . 93371663 . . . is actually 2 IoglQ(e + 7r)/2 ? Gauss observed that the number 1. 85407467 . . . is (essentially) a rational value of an elliptic integral-an observation that was critical in the development of nineteenth century analysis. How do we decide that such a number is actually a special value of a familiar function without the tools Gauss had at his disposal, which were, presumably, phenomenal insight and a prodigious memory? Part of the answer, we hope, lies in this volume. This book is structured like a reverse telephone book, or more accurately, like a reverse handbook of special function values. It is a list of just over 100,000 eight-digit real numbers in the interval [0,1) that arise as the first eight digits of special values of familiar functions. It is designed for people, like ourselves, who encounter various numbers computationally and want to know if these numbers have some simple form. This is not a particularly well-defined endeavor-every eight-digit number is rational and this is not interesting. However, the chances of an eight digit number agreeing with a small rational, say with numerator and denominator less than twenty-five, is small. Thus the list is comprised primarily of special function evaluations at various algebraic and simple transcendental values. The exact numbers included are described below. Each entry consists of the first eight digits after the decimal point of the number in question.

This revised and updated second edition maintains the content and spirit of the first edition and includes a new chapter, "Recent Experiences", that provides examples of experimental mathematics that have come to light since the publication of the first edition in 2003. For more examples and insights, Experimentation in Mathematics: Computational Paths to Discovery is a highly recommended companion.

With the continued advance of computing power and accessibility, the view that "real mathematicians don't compute" no longer has any traction for a newer generation of mathematicians. The goal in this book is to present a coherent variety of accessible examples of modern mathematics where intelligent computing plays a significant role and in so doing to highlight some of the key algorithms and to teach some of the key experimental approaches.
