Glendinning provides a visually enhanced introduction to key mathematical concepts. Each idea is quickly and clearly explained, and easy to remember thanks to the simple yet essential illustrations that complement each description
Both simple and accessible, Maths in Minutes is a visually led introduction to 200 key mathematical ideas. Each concept is quick and easy to remember, described by means of an easy-to-understand picture and a maximum 200-word explanation. Concepts span all of the key areas of mathematics, including Fundamentals of Mathematics, Sets and Numbers, Geometry, Equations, Limits, Functions and Calculus, Vectors and Algebra, Complex Numbers, Combinatorics, Number Theory, Metrics and Measures and Topology. Incredibly quick - clear artworks and simple explanations that can be easily remembered. Based on scientific research that the brain best absorbs information visually. Compact and portable format - the ideal, handy reference.
Focusing on models with discontinuities, this book serves mathematicians, scientists, and engineers exploring nonsmooth systems. It features two complementary courses on piecewise smooth flows and maps. The authors progress from established theoretical results to contemporary challenges, covering topics such as stability analysis, bifurcation, singularities, and kneading theory. Rich with examples, the text effectively illustrates the theoretical concepts, making it a valuable resource for those delving into this specialized field.
