One of the beauties of the literature on pi is that it allows for the inclusion of very modern, yet accessible, mathematics. The articles on pi collected herein include selections from the mathematical and computational literature over four millennia, a variety of historical studies on the cultural significance of the number, and an assortment of anecdotal, fanciful, and simply amusing pieces....For this new edition, the authors have updated the original material while adding new material of historical and cultural interest. There is a substantial exposition of the recent history of the computation of digits of pi, a discussion of the normality of the distribution of the digits, new translations of works by Viete and Huygen, as well as Kaplansky‘s never-before-published "Song of Pi."...From the reviews of earlier editions:..."Few mathematics books serve a wider potential readership than does a source book and this particular one is admirably designed to cater for a broad spectrum of tastes: professional mathematicians with research interest in related subjects, historians of mathematics, teach | | 出版日期 | Book 2004Latest edition | | 关键词 | analysis; applied mathematics; arithmetic; calculus; history; mathematics; number theory; numerical analysi | | 版次 | 3 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4757-4217-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4757-4217-6 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2004 |
