The nature of mathematics is being exact, and its exactness is und- lined by the formalism used by mathematicians to write it. This formalism, characterized by theorems and proofs, and syncopated with occasional l- mas, remarks and corollaries, is so deeply ingrained that mathematicians feel uncomfortable when the pattern is broken, to the point of giving the - pression that the attitude of mathematicians towards the way mathematics should be written is almost moralistic. There is a de?nition often quoted, “A mathematician is a person who proves theorems”, and a similar, more alchemistic one, credited to Paul Erd? os, but more likely going back to Alfr´ ed R´ enyi,statingthat“Amathematicianisamachinethattransformsco?eeinto 1 theorems ”. Therefore it seems to be the form, not the content, that char- terizes mathematics, similarly to what happens in any formal moralistic code wherein form takes precedence over content. This book is deliberately written in a very di?erent manner, without a single theorem or proof. Since morality has its subjective component, to pa- phrase Manuel Vasquez Montalban, we | 出版日期 | Textbook 2007 | 关键词 | Bayesian; Computing; Lectures; STATISTICA; Scientific; learning; linear algebra; modeling; scientific comput | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-73394-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-0-387-73393-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-73394-4Series ISSN 2199-4765 Series E-ISSN 2199-4773 | issn_series | 2199-4765 | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York 2007 |
