简介

  Thomas L·Pirnot编著的Mathematics All Around一书是为从事社会科学、教育学、商业艺术和其他非理工类专业的学生而写的教学教科书。本书可以使从事这些专业的学生理解并欣赏到数学在各个领域的许多精彩应用。.   本书共14章,内容包括集合论、数理逻辑、图论、数论、统计、概率、代数、几何等。本书以数学的应用作为动机,每一章的开始提出实际问题,然后发展必要的数学工具,再解决这些文际问题,在应用中进一步加强对数学的理解。因此提出问题和解决问题占本书很大篇幅、众多应用问题中有些联系日常生活:如信用卡购物问题,分期付款与抵押贷款问题,年利率的汁算,运动队成绩的评价,彩票获奖的几率,股票市场中的决策问题,疾病的传播问题,帘位的公平分配问题,唱片销售的回归模型等;有些是著名的数学问题:如四色问题,TSP问题(Traveling Salesman Problem);也有些是数学在高新技术中的应用问题:如模糊逻辑用于空调系统,矩阵用于医学计算机成像、图形加速和计算机图形学,分形用于人体中血管、气管的研究,用于创作逼真的自然景观。总之它们使本书变得越味横生。
