Jeremy Gray Reihenfolge der Bücher

This work delves into the intricate contributions of Henri Poincaré across mathematics, physics, and philosophy. It explores his groundbreaking ideas and theories, highlighting his influence on modern science and thought. The book examines Poincaré's approach to topics such as topology, celestial mechanics, and the foundations of mathematics, while also addressing his philosophical insights regarding the nature of knowledge and reality. Through this comprehensive analysis, readers gain a deeper understanding of Poincaré's legacy and its enduring impact on various fields.

Focusing on the period from 1880 to 1920, the book explores the evolution of mathematics as a modernist movement akin to developments in art and literature. Jeremy Gray investigates the interplay between mathematics and various disciplines such as physics, philosophy, and psychology. He highlights the popularization of mathematics and its role in shaping the professional identity of mathematicians. Additionally, the work delves into the profound, often unanswerable questions that arose from this modernist transformation, showcasing its broader cultural implications.

Based on a course for third-year university students, the book contains numerous historical and mathematical exercises, offers extensive advice to the student on how to write essays, and can easily be used in whole or in part as a course in the history of mathematics.

Though little known outside of his field, Bernhard Riemann was one of the most important and influential mathematicians of the modern era. His early work prepared the way for Einstein's general theory of relativity, and his breakthroughs in geometry, topology, analysis, and number theory continue to inspire and challenge mathematicians today. In Simply Riemann, author Jeremy Gray takes us into the mind of a great mathematician, exploring the ideas beneath the technicalities, and providing an insightful portrait of a would-be pastor who found himself increasingly "called" by the abstract beauty of numbers.

Based on the latest historical research, Worlds Out of Nothing is the first book to provide a course on the history of geometry in the 19th century. Topics include projective geometry, especially the concept of duality, non- Euclidean geometry, and more.

Straight from the heart -- real-life couples share inspiring, edifying stories of Mars and Venus in love.Millions of readers have learned about relationships from John Gray's previous bestsellers, such as Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, Mars and Venus on a Date; and Mars and Venus in the Bedroom. Inspired by this enthusiasm, Gray asked a number of readers to share their own stories of how they've put his principles to work in their relationships. The result is this amazing collection of first-person accounts-along with Gray's own enlightening commentary-that will have you laughing, crying, and nodding in recognition. Gray's contributors answer such questions as: What problems have you had in your relationship, and how have you overcome them? What special things do you and your partner do for each other? How do you best communicate with each other? How do you practice what you've learned? How does your love feel different now from how it felt before? Their answers illustrate more eloquently than any textbook how to use Gray's advice and counsel to create your own fulfilling, healthy, and loving relationships.

Cet ouvrage raconte l'histoire des 23 problèmes que le grand mathématicien allemand David Hilbert a proposés à la sagacité des mathématiciens lors d'un congrès à Paris, en 1900. Ces problèmes ont considérablement influencé la recherche en mathématiques depuis cette date. Jeremy Gray propose une vision générale du développement des mathématiques de la fin du XIX e siècle à nos jours. Pour ce faire, il a replacé les mathématiques dans leur contexte historique, social et culturel. On trouve ainsi de nombreux développements sur différentes écoles de mathématiques : Bourbaki en France, l'école soviétique, les mathématiques aux Etats-Unis... et des notices biographiques sur de grands mathématiciens. Les problèmes sont présentés sans formalisme excessif (quelques compléments mathématiques sont présentés en encarts), ce qui rend le texte accessible à un large lectorat . Pierre Cartier présente en Introduction à la version française de ce livre : «les défis relevés par les mathématiciens de l'ère "post-hilbertienne"».
