Aristotle's Philosophy of Action.

New York, Dover Publications 2011, cm.15x22, pp.VIII,315, brossura copertina figurata. Edizione rivista. This updated introduction to modern numerical analysis is a complete revision of a classic text originally written in Fortran but now featuring the programming language C++. It considers a relatively small number of basic concepts and techniques, focusing on how and why each method works. The authors offer careful consideration of error-analysis aspects related to the problems and algorithms. The treatment also reviews and solidifies basic concepts from elementary calculus, emphasizing theory and proofs. It makes repeated use of the mean-value theorem, intermediate-value theorem, and Taylor's series. Many exercises appear throughout the text, most with solutions, and an extensive tutorial explains how to solve problems with C++.

Presentaz.di Clara Silvia Roero. Firenze, Olschki 2007, cm.17x24, pp.X,200, 1 tav.ft. brossura Collana Accademia delle Scienze. Torino. I libri dell'Accademia,4. La feconda corrispondenza tra il mathematicorum princeps dell'epoca, Leonhard Euler e il giovane matematico Lagrange sfociò in uno scambio di vedute su importanti temi di analisi, di meccanica, di teoria dei numeri e di fisica matematica, che culminarono in sei fondamentali lavori di Euler pubblicati nei Mélanges de philosophie et de mathématique dell'Accademia: essi sono oggi proposti in questa riedizione che vuole celebrare il matematico nel terzo centenario della nascita. The productive correspondence between Leonhard Euler, the most famous mathematician of the period, and the young mathematician Lagrange led to an exchange of views on important topics in analysis, mechanics, number theory and mathematical physics. This exchange culminated in six of Euler's fundamental works, published in the Academy's Mélanges de philosophie et de mathématique and presented in this new edition, celebrating the third centenary of the mathematician's birth.
