Incidence geometry Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary A survey of the number concept, from its prehistoric origins to its many applications in mathematics today. The emphasis is on how the number concept was expanded to meet the demands of arithmetic, geometry and algebra. 1. Introduction The first numbers we all meet are the positive integers 1, 2, 3, 4, … We use them for countingUNESCO – that is, for measuring the size– of collectionsEOLSS – and no doubt integers were first invented for that purpose. Counting seems to be a simple process, but it leads to more complex processes,SAMPLE such as addition (if CHAPTERSI have 19 sheep and you have 26 sheep, how many do we have altogether?) and multiplication ( if seven people each have 13 sheep, how many do they have altogether?). Addition leads in turn to the idea of subtraction, which raises questions that have no answers in the positive integers. For example, what is the result of subtracting 7 from 5? To answer such questions we introduce negative integers and thus make an extension of the system of positive integers.

  • Graduate Texts in Mathematics (GTM) (ISSN 0072-5285) Is a Series of Graduate-Level Textbooks in Mathematics Published by Springer-Verlag
    欢迎加入数学专业竞赛及考研群：681325984 Graduate Texts in Mathematics - Wikipedia Graduate Texts in Mathematics Graduate Texts in Mathematics (GTM) (ISSN 0072-5285) is a series of graduate-level textbooks in mathematics published by Springer-Verlag. The books in this series, like the other Springer-Verlag mathematics series, are yellow books of a standard size (with variable numbers of pages). The GTM series is easily identified by a white band at the top of the book. The books in this series tend to be written at a more advanced level than the similar Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics series, although there is a fair amount of overlap between the two series in terms of material covered and difficulty level.

  • Topics in Combinatorial Group Theory
    Topics in Combinatorial Group Theory Preface I gave a course on Combinatorial Group Theory at ETH, Zurich, in the Winter term of 1987/88. The notes of that course have been reproduced here, essentially without change. I have made no attempt to improve on those notes, nor have I made any real attempt to provide a complete list of references. I have, however, included some general references which should make it possible for the interested reader to obtain easy access to any one of the topics treated here. In notes of this kind, it may happen that an idea or a theorem that is due to someone other than the author, has inadvertently been improperly acknowledged, if at all. If indeed that is the case here, I trust that I will be forgiven in view of the informal nature of these notes. Acknowledgements I would like to thank R. Suter for taking notes of the course and for his many comments and corrections and M. Schunemann for a superb job of “TEX-ing” the manuscript. I would also like to acknowledge the help and insightful comments of Urs Stammbach. In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks and appreciation to him and his wife Irene, for their friendship and their hospitality over many years, and to him, in particular, for all of the work that he has done on my behalf, making it possible for me to spend so many pleasurable months in Zurich.

    BAMA School Year 2006—20072019—2020 Join us for a free talk... 31 John Stillwell All Infinities, Great and Small San Jose State University* Washington Square Hall 207 7:30 pm Friday, November 1, 2019 Infinity has been part of mathematics since ancient times and has been controversial since the beginning. At first, the controversy was about "potential" versus "actual" infinity. In the 19th century the controversy morphed into "discrete" versus "continuous" infinity and was intensified by Cantor's discovery that there are infinitely many kinds of infinity. This led, in the 20th century, to axiom systems for set theory that attempt to clarify the notion of infinite set. The clarified notion answers many questions, but not all—in fact it is impossible to know whether certain very large sets, called inaccessible sets, exist. Even more confounding is the fact that these inaccessible sets control what is true of the real numbers, which mathematicians hoped to be completely knowable. John Stillwell was born in Australia and educated at Melbourne University and MIT. After teaching for 30 years at Monash University in Melbourne, he became Professor of Mathematics at the University of San Francisco in 2002. He has written numerous books on mathematics, including "Mathematics and Its History" and "Roads to Infinity," and has given two previous BAMA talks. * See back for map and directions.

  • The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: a Visual Approach
    The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: A Visual Approach Daniel J. Velleman Department of Mathematics and Statistics Amherst College Amherst, MA 01002 In the real numbers, a linear equation ax + b = 0 (with a 6= 0) always has a solution. Quadratic equations don't always have real solutions, but the quadratic formula gives solutions in the complex numbers. What if we move on to polynomial equations of higher degree? Might we need to extend the complex numbers to some larger number system in order to find solutions to these equations? The answer is no: solutions to all polynomial equations can be found in the complex numbers. This is the content of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. Every nonconstant polynomial with complex coefficients has a root in the complex numbers. Some version of the statement of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra first appeared early in the 17th century in the writings of several mathematicians, including Peter Roth, Albert Girard, and Ren´eDescartes. The first proof of the Fundamental Theorem was published by Jean Le Rond d'Alembert in 1746 [2], but his proof was not very rigorous. Carl Friedrich Gauss is often credited with producing the first correct proof in his doctoral dissertation of 1799 [15], although this proof also had gaps. (For a comparison of these two proofs, see [26, pp. 195{200].) Today there are many known proofs of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, including proofs using methods of algebra, analysis, and topology. (The references include many papers and books containing proofs of the Fundamental Theorem; [14] alone contains 11 proofs.) Our focus in this paper will be on the use of pictures to see why the theorem is true.
