Elementary Mathematics from an Advanced Standpoint : Arithmetic, Algebra, Analysis

Product Description

"Makes the reader feel the inspiration that comes from listening to a great mathematician." — Bulletin, American Mathematical SocietyA distinguished mathematician and educator enlivens abstract discussions of arithmetic, algebra, and analysis by means of graphical and geometrically perceptive methods. His three-part treatment begins with topics associated with arithmetic, including calculating with natural numbers, the first extension of the notion of number, special properties of integers, and complex numbers. Algebra-related subjects constitute the second part, which examines real equations with real unknowns and equations in the field of complex quantities. The final part explores elemen…
