Showing titles in Mathematics

Eso no estaba en mi libro de Matemáticas va más allá del consabido texto en el que se exponen de forma más o menos ordenada ciertos tópicos aritméticos, geométricos o algebraicos. Por el contrario, esta obra es un compendio que aborda el vasto universo de las matemáticas dando cabida a contenidos en apariencia dispares e inconexos, pero tremendamente sugestivos para el oyente.

En sus páginas, amenas y cargadas de revelaciones, se dan cita personajes, problemas, procedimientos, recreaciones y paradojas del más variado tenor: desde el curioso origen de los símbolos matemáticos más usuales...

René Descartes is one of the formative figures in Western philosophy, logic and mathematics. His famous statement: "I think, therefore I am," has become perhaps the most famous phrase in all of philosophy. Descartes’s ground-breaking writings attempted to establish unshakeable foundations of knowledge, and set a trend for subsequent Western philosophy, which has endlessly critiqued and expanded upon his ideas.
