But when I turned the handle on the door, suddenly the buzzing went crazy. I slapped my hands over my ears, when I should have jerked the door shut. It flew open, and I was face-to-face with the Weierstrass function. It was the ugliest function I could imagine, with kinks, and kinks on kinks and kinks on those. And it was shrieking in its ......
This volume contains the proceedings of the LuCaNT (LMFDB, Computation, and Number Theory) conference held from July 10-14, 2023, at the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM), Providence, Rhode Island and affiliated with Brown University. This conference provided an opportunity for researchers, scholars, and ......
Math Hour Olympiads is a non-standard method of training middle- and high-school students interested in mathematics where students spend several hours thinking about a few difficult and unusual problems. When a student solves a problem, the solution is presented orally to a pair of friendly judges. Discussing the solutions with the judges creates ......
This volume contains the proceedings of the virtual AMS Special Session on Mathematics of Decisions, Elections and Games, held on April 8, 2022. Decision theory, voting theory, and game theory are three related areas of mathematics that involve making optimal decisions in different contexts. While these three areas are distinct, much of the ......
This book consists of a series of papers focusing on the mathematical and computational modeling and analysis of some real-life phenomena in the natural and engineering sciences. The book emphasizes three main themes: (i) the design and analysis of robust and dynamically-consistent nonstandard finite-difference methods for discretizing ......
This volume is a collection of chapters that present several key principles and theories, as well as their potential uses in the development of mathematical models in areas like waves, thermodynamic, electromagnetics, fluid dynamics, and catastrophes. The techniques and methodologies used in this book, on the other hand, should have a long-term ......
This volume is a collection of chapters that present key ideas and theories, as well as their rigorous applications, required for the development of mathematical models in areas such as travelling waves, epidemiology, the chemotaxis system, atrial fibrillation, and vortex nerve complexes. The techniques, methodologies and approaches adopted in ......
Essays on Amazing Physical Phenomena and their Understanding by Mathematicians
This collection of 39 short stories gives the reader a unique opportunity to take a look at the scientific philosophy of Vladimir Arnold, one of the most original contemporary researchers. Topics of the stories included range from astronomy, to mirages, to motion of glaciers, to geometry of mirrors and beyond. In each case Arnold's explanation is ......
