{"product_id":"mathematical-bridge-a-stephen-fletcher-hewson-9789812834072","title":"Mathematical Bridge, A: An Intuitive Journey in Higher Mathematics (2nd Edition)","description":"Although higher mathematics is beautiful, natural and interconnected, to the uninitiated it can feel like an arbitrary mass of disconnected technical definitions, symbols, theorems and methods. An intellectual gulf needs to be crossed before a true, deep appreciation of mathematics can develop. This book bridges this mathematical gap. It focuses on the process of discovery as much as the content, leading the reader to a clear, intuitive understanding of how and why mathematics exists in the way it does.The narrative does not evolve along traditional subject lines: each topic develops from its simplest, intuitive starting point; complexity develops naturally via questions and extensions. Throughout, the book includes levels of explanation, discussion and passion rarely seen in traditional textbooks. The choice of material is similarly rich, ranging from number theory and the nature of mathematical thought to quantum mechanics and the history of mathematics. It rounds off with a selection of thought-provoking and stimulating exercises for the reader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Fletcher Hewson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9812834079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789812834072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.50d","brand":"Stephen Fletcher Hewson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48014155251967,"sku":"9789812834072","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_caafc2de-f525-471a-a387-43a872fa02ec.jpg?v=1767747064","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mathematical-bridge-a-stephen-fletcher-hewson-9789812834072","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
