Why Study Mathematics? advanced mathematics is widely used, but often in an unseen and unadvertised It is a challenge, with varieties of difficult ideas and unsolved problems, http://www.popmath.org.uk/centre/pagescpm/imahob95.html
Extractions: The main reason for studying mathematics to an advanced level is that it is interesting and enjoyable. People like its challenge, its clarity, and the fact that you know when you are right. The solution of a problem has an excitement and a satisfaction. You will find all these aspects in a university degree course. You should also be aware of the wide importance of Mathematics, and the way in which it is advancing at a spectacular rate. Mathematics is about pattern and structure ; it is about logical analysis, deduction, calculation within these patterns and structures. When patterns are found, often in widely different areas of science and technology, the mathematics of these patterns can be used to explain and control natural happenings and situations. Mathematics has a pervasive influence on our everyday lives, and contributes to the wealth of the country. The everyday use of arithmetic and the display of information by means of graphs, are an everyday commonplace. These are the elementary aspects of mathematics. Advanced mathematics is widely used, but often in an unseen and unadvertised way. The mathematics of error-correcting codes is applied to CD players and to computers.

Mathematics Books Recommended math books for computer graphics and geometry algorithms. This book presents 12 major unsolved problems about plane geometry, http://geometryalgorithms.com/books_mathematics.shtml
Extractions: Geometry algorithms and computer graphics uses a lot of math, and many algorithms books assume the reader has some knowledge of basic math (geometry, algebra, trig, etc). The books on this page are not about algorithms; instead they give this math background and more, especially about geometry. Four Colors Suffice: How the Map Problem Was Solved Buy Used from: The four-color conjecture, formulated in 1852, was among the most popular unsolved problems in mathematics. It stated that only four country colors are needed in any map so that neighboring countries are always colored differently. The first correct proof was completed in 1976 using a computer to verify almost 2000 special irreducible cases. This book describes the history of this problem, and its solution. Standard Mathematical Tables and Formulas (31st Edition) Buy Used from: This is an essential (and reasonably priced) reference work that puts a wealth of well-organized math formulas and tables at your finger tips. It has extensive coverage of discrete math, trigonometry, geometry, linear algebra, calculus, special functions, numerical methods, probability, and statistics. This may be the best of the **math formula** handbooks with many fundamental geometric computations.

Strings 2000 Conference - Physics Problems For The Next Millennium invited to help formulate the ten most important unsolved problems in fundamentalphysics. Matt Strassler, Institute for advanced Study, Princeton http://feynman.physics.lsa.umich.edu/strings2000/millennium.html
Extractions: Physics Problems for the Next Millennium As a piece of millennial madness, all participants of the Strings 2000 Conference were invited to help formulate the ten most important unsolved problems in fundamental physics. Each participant was allowed to submit one candidate problem for consideration. To qualify, the problem must not only have been important but also well-defined and stated in a clear way. The best 10 problems were selected at the end of the conference by a selection panel consisting of: Here are the problems: Are all the (measurable) dimensionless parameters that characterize the physical universe calculable in principle or are some merely determined by historical or quantum mechanical accident and uncalculable?

I've seen three apples, three cars, and Three Stooges, but I've never seen "three". What exactly is the numer three? Did the number three always exist or is it something people invented? Is the number three philosophically different than the number p? In this course we will try to answer these and similiar questions through historical, various number systems (Egyptian, Roman, Chinese, Mayan and Arabic), the meaning and acceptance of zero and infinity, elementary number theory and its applications to cryptography (secret codes), logic, argument, and whether it is actually possible to prove everything that is true. Don't worry no partcular mathematical background or ability is necessary.This course fulfills the following requirements: Foundation Seminar W1
