Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An investigation into the predecessors of the magic cube. Magic cubes are generally considered to have been invented in the second half of the nineteenth century, when the conditions for a cube to be called magic were established: it must display the same sum in each horizontal, vertical, and front-to-back row, as well as in the four internal diagonals of the cube. However, during the preceding seven centuries, constructions of magic cubes had already begun, but obeying other definitions. The first study is found in twelfth-century Persia. Then, Pierre de Fermat (1601-1665) dealt with them in the seventeenth century. Unaware of the existence of predecessors and with a different design, the Frenchman Joseph Sauveur (1653-1716) taught a construction method that was adopted in Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's (1646-1716) circle. This method was expanded in the 1830s but fell into oblivion with the modern definition of the magic cube.

Condizione: NUOVO. Lausanne, Presses polytechniques et universitaires romandes cm.16x24, pp.380, Broché. Dernier texte majeur en langue d'oc resté inédit, et unique manuscrit mathématique conservé écrit dans cette langue, l'Arithmétique composée par un auteur inconnu à Pamiers vers 1430 est pourtant destinée à occuper une place de choix dans l'histoire des mathématiques. On y trouve d'abord la première acceptation d'un nombre négatif, à savoir pour l'une des inconnues d'un système d'équations linéaires. L'auteur explique ensuite, lors de sa recherche d'approximations de racines carrées ou cubiques d'entiers, comment on peut construire une suite infinie de fractions rationnelles entre deux entiers voisins ; ceci l'amène à se poser la question de la comparaison de deux ensembles infinis, celui des naturels et celui des fractions. Cet ouvrage intéressera non seulement les étudiants et les enseignants de mathématiques, mais aussi toute personne curieuse de suivre l'exposé fort clair d'un enseignant du XVe siècle initiant ses lecteurs aux applications commerciales des mathématiques tout en soumettant à leur réflexion quelques questions menant bien au-delà de l'enseignement conventionnel.…

Soft cover. Condizione: New. Contents: Preface. 1. Algebra in Mesopotamia. 2. Algebra in ancient Greece. 3. Algebra in the Islamic world. 4. Algebra in medieval Europe. 5. Algebra in the Renaissance. Appendices. Index. This text should not be viewed as a comprehensive history of algebra before 1600, but as a basic introduction to the types of problems that illustrate the earliest forms of algebra. It would be particularly useful for an instructor who is looking for examples to help enliven a course on elementary algebra with problems drawn from actual historical texts. Warren Van Egmond about the French edition for MathSciNet This book does not aim to give an exhaustive survey of the history of algebra up to early modern times but merely to present some significant steps in solving equations and, wherever applicable, to link these developments to the extension of the number system. Various examples of problems, with their typical solution methods, are analyzed, and sometimes translated completely. Indeed, it is another aim of this book to ease the reader s access to modern editions of old mathematical texts, or even to the original texts; to this end, some of the problems discussed in the text have been reproduced in the appendices in their original language (Greek, Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, French, German, Provencal, and Italian) with explicative notes. …

Paperback. Condizione: New. 2019 ed. The science of magic squares witnessed an important development in the Islamic world during the Middle Ages, with a great variety of construction methods being created and ameliorated. The initial step was the translation, in the ninth century, of an anonymous Greek text containing the description of certain highly developed arrangements, no doubt the culmination of ancient research on magic squares.…
