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.

Het vakgebied topologie is rijk aan leuke onderwerpen om over te vertellen: de Möbiusband, kleuren van landkaarten, drie gebieden met één gemeenschappelijke grens, de formule van Euler, Droste-effect, fractals en wilde sferen. In dit boek wordt topologie uitgelegd in de vorm van een strip, waarbij het verhaal in de tekeningen zit, aangevuld met een toelichtende tekst. Het eerste deel 'Topologie om je heen' is niet al te moeilijk, maar voor het tweede deel 'Topologie onder de loep' is meer ...

Thomas' Calculus: Early Transcendentals goes beyond memorizing formulas and routine procedures to help you develop deeper understanding. It guides you to a level of mathematical proficiency, with additional support if needed through its clear and intuitive explanations, current applications and generalized concepts. Technology exercises in every section use the calculator or computer for solving problems, and Computer Explorations offer exercises requiring a computer algebra system like Maple...

Gerd Gigerenzer's Reckoning with Risk: Learning to Live with Uncertainty illustrates how we can learn to make sense of statistics and turn ignorance into insight. However much we want certainty in our lives, it feels as if we live in an uncertain and dangerous world. But are we guilty of wildly exaggerating the chances of some unwanted event happening to us? Are we misled by our ignorance of the reality of risk? Far too many of us, argues Gerd Gigerenzer, are hampered by our own innumeracy, w...

Met Moderne Wiskunde ontwikkelt de leerling inzicht en begrip. Samen met de docent verkent en verdiept de leerling de wiskundeonderwerpen, waarna hij – op eigen niveau – de leerstof zelfstandig oefent en toepast.
