Features: With the advancement of technology, it is becoming increasingly difficult for students and teachers to obtain direct and rapid solutions to fundamental science and algebra problems. Therefore, they will welcome the book "Science Classification Handbook: Algebra" published by American FactsOnFile Publishing. The "Science Classification Handbook" series covers the following disciplines: physics, biology, chemistry, earth science, oceanography, space and astronomy, weather and climate, calculus, and geometry, making it an invaluable bilingual dictionary series organized by systematic academic classification. The "Science Classification Handbook: Algebra" published by American FactsOnFile Publishing includes the following sections:
Terminology: The book contains over 350 entries, with many entries accompanied by simple diagrams to help explain their meanings. Topics include: area, compound numbers, finite sets, logarithms, operations, parabolas, the Pythagorean theorem, radius, right angles, and integers, etc.
People: It introduces more than 100 scientists and mathematicians from ancient times to the present, whose discoveries have advanced human understanding of algebra. These scientists include: Dame Mary Lucy Cartwright, Pierre de Fermat, Carl Friedrich Gauss, Hipparchus, Pierre-Simon Laplace, Claudius Ptolemaus Johann von Neumann, etc.
Chronology: It spans over 4,000 years of algebraic development from ancient Greece to the present, including major discoveries and significant events in algebra: The Greek philosopher Pythagoras established a community with many male and female followers (known as the Pythagorean Brotherhood), dedicated to philosophical and mathematical research (around 549 BC); the Greek mathematician Apollonius of Perga estimated the value of π to be 3.1416 (around 200 BC); the French scholar Fran?ois Viète published "Analytic Art" and established the fundamental principles of algebra (1591); the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler invented f(x) as the notation for functions (1727); the British mathematician Andrew John Wiles was determined to solve Fermat's Last Theorem at the age of 10 (1963), etc.
The series published by American FactsOnFile Publishing is equipped with a convenient index, making it easy for students and teachers to quickly verify information. This book places algebra within the broader context of science, highlighting the close connections between all disciplines and enabling comparison and integration of information across different fields.
