How the Other Half Thinks makes use of this phenomenon to offer <br /> both the mathematically adept and mathematical beginner eight fascinating <br /> illustrations of the mathematical way.<br /> <br /> Each chapter starts with a question about strings made up of nothing more than <br /> two letters. This question in turn suggests thought-provoking problems. After <br /> these problems are explored and solved, the author shows how the related <br /> mathematics has been applied in areas as varied as computers, cellphones, <br /> measurement of astronomical distances, and cell growth.<br /> <br /> An experienced educator, prize-winning expositor, and researcher, Stein <br /> engagingly presents each concept. The leisurely pace allows a reader to move <br /> slowly through each chapter, omitting no steps. This approach makes complex <br /> concepts like topology, set theory, and probability accessible and exciting. The <br /> book creates a bridge across the gulf between the two cultures: humanities and <br /> the sciences.<br /> <br /> Stein shows how the mathematical style of thinking is one that everyone can use <br /> to understand the world. This charming book speaks to both those who employ the <br /> intuitive, creative right half of the brain, and to those who rely more on the <br /> analytical, numerical left half. How the Other Half Thinks is for the novice and <br /> the skilled, the poet and the scientist, the left-brained and the right-brained. <br /> When you read this book, you are immersed in the world of mathematics, not as a <br /> spectator, but as an involved participant.<br /> <br /> Table of Contents<br /> <br /> Preface <br /> Acknowledgments <br /> 1 The Needle and the Noodle 1<br /> 2 Win by Two 19<br /> 3 The Complete Triangle 43<br /> 4 Slumps and Streaks 61<br /> 5 Thrifty Strings 73<br /> 6 Counting Ballots 97<br /> 7 Infinity 121<br /> 8 Twins 135<br /> Epilogue: A Backward Glance 151<br /> App. A Triangles 157<br /> App. B Twins: A Supplement 161<br /> For Further Reading 167<br /> Index 173<br /> <br /> Product Details<br /> <br /> * ISBN: 007137339X<br /> * ISBN-13: 9780071373395<br /> * Format: Textbook Hardcover, 177pp<br /> * Publisher: McGraw-Hill Companies, The<br /> * Pub.
