Čísel hra kouzelná por Irving Adler

Populárně psaná a s efektní názorností koncipovaná knížka ukazuje principy matematiky a jejich mnohotvaré praktické použití. Při elementárním výkladu je čtenář zasvěcen i do základů matematické abstrakce. Předvádějí se zde způsoby, jak matematicky vyjádřit fyzikální zákony a vysvětluje se skladba číselných soustav. V polytematickém záběru publikace, pokud se jedná o aplikace matematické vědy, zasahuje autorův pohled též k astronomii a k počítacím strojům, ale i k různým početním hříčkám.… (más)
