Engineering professor Barbara Oakley knows firsthand how it feels to struggle with math. She flunked her way through high school math and s...

From ancient times, mathematics has developed side-by-side with physics; only in the last two hundred years they came apart as different branches of science. Extensive use of mathematics in other sciences, such as biology, chemistry, economics, pharmacology, environmental and social sciences is even more recent. Nowadays, knowledge of mathematical techniques is indispensable also for students and researchers in these fields.

The series of textbooks “Mathematics that Works” presents mathem...

De ontwikkeling van de complexe getallen heeft een belangrijke bijdrage

geleverd aan de ontwikkeling van een groot aantal onderwerpen in

de wiskunde. In dit boekje kun je lezen via welke vragen en ideeën de

complexe getallen zijn ontstaan. Verder bestuderen we eigenschappen van

enkele complexe functies. Ook de mogelijkheid om complexe getallen te

gebruiken bij het oplossen van meetkundige vraagstukken komt aan bod.

Om een en ander te illustreren maken we gebruik van GeoGebra. Dat geeft
