Gronwall's Nomographic Work","description":"Calculating Curves is a book about a beautiful but forgotten paper of Thomas Hakon Gronwall. Gronwall was a Swedish mathematician and an American immigrant who published over 80 papers in pure and applied mathematics. He was a practicing civil engineer in Europe and the United States as well as a professor at Princeton University. The paper considered in the book was the first work to produce a necessary and sufficient condition for the representability problem of a graphical problem-solving construct called an alignment nomogram. The book includes a biography of Gronwall, a translation of the paper with an extensive commentary and a complete bibliography of Gronwall's work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ron Doerfler, Scott Guthery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0983700435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780983700432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Docent Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.37d","brand":"Ron Doerfler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980746752255,"sku":"9780983700432","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5fbeda29-367a-495f-8d02-f14e4b603f7c.jpg?v=1683251657","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/calculating-curves-ron-doerfler-9780983700432","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
