Atlas des mathématiques
by Fritz Reinhardt
Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Cet atlas souhaite montrer l'évolution de la science arborescente qu'est aujourd'hui la mathématique. Henri Poincaré fut, dit-on, le dernier mathématicien à posséder tout ce qu'elle représentait à son époque. De nos jours, les rameaux en sont si nombreux que nul ne peut, faute de temps, prétendre tous les connaître. Or, l'ensemble des constructions mathématiques actuelles fournit, outre des objets qui paraissent purement abstraits, des théories indispensables à l'activité humaine de cette fin de siècle : langage mathématique de l'ordinateur, ou tout simplement économie mathématique. L'Atlas des mathématiques propose, à côté des classiques, quelques pages sur la géométrie fractale qui trouve sa place en physique, sur les algèbres de Lie, qui se tournent vers la chimie, enfin sur le cadre mathématique moderne dans lequel évolue la géométrie différentielle, source théorique de tant de phénomènes devenus courants dans la pratique. Les chapitres abordés dans ce livre sont de difficultés inégales. Si certains se révèlent aisément accessibles, d'autres demandent un effort de réflexion et de patience. Mais ne peut-on pas dire que la persévérance permet d'observer la planète mathématique en voyant apparaître de plus en plus de détails, les couleurs de l'atlas en étant ici les illustrations ?
