A Tour Through Mathematical Logic provides a tour through the main branches of the foundations of mathematics. It contains chapters covering elementary logic, basic set theory, recursion theory, Gödel's (and others') incompleteness theorems, model theory, independence results in set theory, nonstandard analysis, and constructive mathematics. In addition, this monograph discusses several topics not normally found in books of this type, such as fuzzy logic, nonmonotonic logic, and complexity theory.
A Mathematical Tour
A Mathematical Tour introduces readers to a selection of mathematical topics chosen for their centrality, importance, historical significance, and intrinsic appeal and beauty. The book is written to be accessible and interesting to readers with a good grounding in high school level mathematics and a keen sense of intellectual curiosity. Each chapter includes a short history of the topic, statements and discussion of important results, illustrations, user-friendly exercises, and suggestions for further reading. This book is intended to be read for pleasure but could also be used for a Topics course in Mathematics or as a supplementary text in a History of Mathematics course. Features contains a selection of accessible mathematical topics exercises that elucidate, and sometimes enlarge on, the topics suitable for readers with knowledge of high school mathematics
A Mathematical Mystery Tour
A Mathematical Mystery Tour has been used by thousands of students and has inspired adults to greater appreciation of the secret number language of nature. It is multidisciplinary, visual, and hands-on, practicing skills while also requiring deep math thinking. The activities are reproducible and each is accompanied with informational teacher pages giving answers, historical notes, teacher suggestions, and activity extensions. Let this geographically alive Mystery Tour integrate math with art, science, philosophy, history, social studies, and language arts. The use of the calculator, geometric construction, metric measurement, problem solving, formulating results, building models and making inferences is woven throughout the book. Each book purchase includes a link to a downloadable student newspaper, the Mathematical Mystery Tour Guide, coordinated with the book content. It is capable of being broken up into various assignments and handed out as print or sent whole electronically to each student. It is filled with games, riddles, dramatic historical information, crosswords, provocative questions, and additional math thought activities.
