Libros de Matemática aplicada, página 19 de 45

Este libro está planteado para que sirva de texto base para el estudio de la asignatura Matemáticas II de la Licenciatura de Administración y Dirección de Empresas. Se presenta dividido en 6 capítulos y un apendice. El apendice esta dedicado a recordar los conocimientos basicos que previamente debe tener la persona que accede al estudio de las materias abordadas en el libro; dicho apendice esta especialmente diseñado para las personas que no provengan de bachilleres de ciencias o que haga bastante tiempo que realizaron estos estudios.

Esta obra contiene una propuesta práctica, útil para cualquier persona, a fin de examinar y remodelar sus propios modos de pensamiento de forma sistemática, eliminando obstáculos y llegando a establecer habitos mentales verdaderamente eficaces en su propio ambito de accion. Miguel de Guzman, inspirado en el ejercicio del pensamiento tipico de la matematica, a la que ha dedicado muchos años de trabajo, trata de transmitir al lector aquellos elementos de la creatividad y de las estrategias de la actividad matematica que son transferibles a otros campos. La asimilacion de tales aspectos tiene lugar mediante la implantacion de habitos y normas practicas a traves de ejemplos bien estructurados. La obra no tiene como centro la matematica, sino el pensamiento mas eficaz.El autor muestra a lo largo de la obra como la exploracion de los propios metodos de pensamiento es una tarea fascinante que puede configurar la actitud mental de quien la practique, con el resultado añadido de lograr pensar mejor y mas eficazmente.

Este CD-ROM ha sido elaborado en el marco de los Proyectos de Innovación Educativa financiados por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid con el objetivo de promover la aplicación de las nuevas tecnologias y nuevos metodos didacticos a los estudios universitarios.

The first edition, published in 1973, has become a classic reference in the field. Now with the second edition, readers will find information on key new topics such as neural networks and statistical pattern recognition, the theory of machine learning, and the theory of invariances. Also included are worked examples, comparisons between different methods, extensive graphics, expanded exercises and computer project topics. An Instructor''s Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.

Drawing from a wide variety of mathematical subjects, this book aims to show how mathematics is realised in practice in the everyday world. Dozens of applications are used to show that applied mathematics is much more than a series of academic calculations. Mathematical topics covered include distributions, ordinary and partial differential equations, and asymptotic methods as well as basics of modelling. The range of applications is similarly varied, from the modelling of hair to piano tuning, egg incubation and traffic flow. The style is informal but not superficial. In addition, the text is supplemented by a large number of exercises and sideline discussions, assisting the reader's grasp of the material. Used either in the classroom by upper-undergraduate students, or as extra reading for any applied mathematician, this book illustrates how the reader's knowledge can be used to describe the world around them.

Environmental Mathematics seeks to marry the most pressing challenge of our time with the most powerful technology of our time - mathematics. This book does this at an elementary level and demonstrates a wide variety of significant environmental applications that can be explored without resorting to calculus. Environmental Mathematics in the Classroom includes several chapters accessible enough to be a text in a general education course, or to enrich an elementary algebra course. Ground-level ozone, pollution and water use, preservation of whales, mathematical economics, the movement of clouds over a mountain range, at least one population model and a smorgasbord of ''newspaper mathematics'' can be studied at this level and would form a stimulating course. It would prepare future teachers not only to learn basic mathematics, but to understand how they can integrate it into other topics that will intrigue students.
