Ten amazing curves personally selected by one of today's bestselling math writers
Curves for the Mathematically Curious is an enticing collection of ten mathematical curves, selected by Julian Havil for their significance, mathematical interest, and because many are downright beautiful. Each chapter of this anthology gives an account of the history and definition of each curve, providing a glimpse into the elegant and often surprising mathematics involved in their creation and evolution. In telling the ten stories, Havil visits many mathematicians and other innovators, some whose fame has withstood the passing of years, others who have blended into comparative obscurity. As well as the numerous mathematicians, you will meet in particular Pierre B zier, whose name is perpetuated though his ubiquitous and eponymous curves, and Adolphe Quetelet, who trumpeted the ubiquity of the Normal curve but whose name now hides behind the modern body mass index. These and other ingenious thinkers contributed to the challenges, incongruities, and insights to be found in this study of these remarkable curves--and now you can share in this adventure.
Curves for the Mathematically Curious is a rigorous and enriching mathematical experience for anyone interested in curves, and the book is designed so that the reader who chooses can follow the details with pencil and paper. Every curve has a story worthy of telling. This compendium tells the stories of ten remarkable curves personally selected by one of today's best-loved writers of popular mathematics.

Описание:
Like other Christian denominations, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) has been engaged in the battle for the Bible since challenges to biblical authority began to exert significant influence in America toward the end of the nineteenth century. Other believing communities have responded with various reevaluations of biblical text. Latter-day Saints have experimented with similar approaches, often taking liberal positions on biblical authority and conservative positions on history and authorship. However, Latter-day Saints accept additional scripture as well as embracing a theology notably distinct from traditional Christianity. Hence, Latter-day Saints relate to the Bible differently from other Christians, creating gaps with mainstream biblical studies. This volume bridges that gap.
From comparing the Book of Mormon to the Bible or the Dead Sea Scrolls, to Mormon feminists’ biblical studies approaches to the Gospels, this volume takes a comprehensive and inclusive approach to understanding Bible scholarship’s role in Mormon history and exploring these differences for both scholars and students. A diverse group of contributors presents an accessible resource to mediate between Latter-day Saint traditions and the broader context of biblical history, literature, and scholarship. Each essay provides a synopsis of relevant major scholarly views and delivers new insights into a wide variety of Bible receptions.
This book provides a brief introduction to the literature of Bible commentaries. Its purpose is to present some of the best thoughts from Bible scholars and inspire readers to further explore this rich genre.This Sampler aims to whet the appetite of people who may not have seminary degrees but who nevertheless desire a deep dive into God's Word.
