Synopsis
The nine chapters of this book make appeal to thermodynamic notions and laws to get under the hood of mathematics without just echoing things best said and written in math books. It presents a novel perspective to students and teachers in the physical sciences, biology, and mathematics, with the goal of enriching classroom and seminar hours., Thermodynamics is the physical science surrounding work, heat, and relationships across fundamental quantities, and situates itself near the center of multiple disciplines through its generality and timelessness. Its laws required no rewriting after the twentieth century revolutions of quantum mechanics, relativity, and solid state physics, just to name three subjects. The nine chapters of this book make appeal to thermodynamic notions and laws to get under the hood of mathematics--the language of the physical sciences--without just echoing things best said and written in math books. It takes a system to learn about another system--we all need thermometers, voltmeters, and other gadgets to get to know objects of interest. But just as critical are the numbers and functions we put to the task, however relegated they are to computers in the modern day for the heavy lifting. To be sure, mathematical representations like x = ½, 5.2, π , e , etc., and f ( x ) = x 2, sin( x ), etc., are never in physical contact with the solids, liquids, and gases that draw our attention, but they are as impacted by the same natural laws as the lab apparatus itself. This book shows how the thermodynamic laws impact our number systems. The laws affirm that we have direct access to a vanishingly small fraction of the real numbers. They further establish that the real numbers present a maximum-evolved system impacting all matters of computation, graphing, differentiation, and integration. For completeness, one of the chapters includes cases where the thermodynamic laws have little, if anything, constructive to say about representations in mathematics. This book presents a novel perspective to students and teachers in the physical sciences, biology, and mathematics, with the goal of enriching classroom and seminar hours. The chapters are self-contained and written informally, and readers with rudimentary knowledge of energy, numbers, and functions should handle the material well., Thermodynamics is the physical science surrounding work, heat, and relationships across fundamental quantities, and situates itself near the center of multiple disciplines through its generality and timelessness.

- g***t (180)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSeller is an absolute nightmare. Seller is a crook. Seller did not send the item. Seller left me a back feedback comment disguised as positive feedback in order to circumvent ebay rules. I waited weeks before I even complained to Ebay. Would you wait over a month for a book to be shipped? Doubtful. Better late than never, except this time its never. Seller is likely a drop shipper. Avoid! Thank me later.
