Geometry: Euclid And Beyond (Undergraduate Texts In Mathematics)
by Robin HartshorneIn recent years, I have been teaching a junior-senior-level course on the classi cal geometries. This book has grown out of that teaching experience. I assume only high-school geometry and some abstract algebra. The course begins in Chapter 1 with a critical examination of Euclid's Elements. Students are expected to read concurrently Books I-IV of Euclid's text, which must be obtained sepa rately. The remainder of the book is an exploration of questions that arise natu rally from this reading, together with their modern answers. To shore up the foundations we use Hilbert's axioms. The Cartesian plane over a field provides an analytic model of the theory, and conversely, we see that one can introduce coordinates into an abstract geometry. The theory of area is analyzed by cutting figures into triangles. The algebra of field extensions provides a method for deciding which geometrical constructions are possible. The investigation of the parallel postulate leads to the various non-Euclidean geometries. And in the last chapter we provide what is missing from Euclid's treatment of the five Platonic solids in Book XIII of the Elements. For a one-semester course such as I teach, Chapters 1 and 2 form the core material, which takes six to eight weeks.
Genetics: From Genes to Genomes
by Hartwell Janice FischerGenetics : from genes to genomes represents a new approach to an undergraduate course in genetics. It reflects the way we, the authors, currently view the molecular basis of life. We integrate: formal genetics: the rules by which genes are transmitted. Molecular genetics: the structure of DNA and how it directs the structure of proteins. Digital analysis and genomics: recent technologies that allow a comprehensive analysis of the entire gene set and its expression in an organism. Human genetics: how genes contribute to health and diseases, including cancer. The unity of life-forms: the synthesis of information from many different organisms into coherent models. Molecular evolution: the molecular mechanisms by which biological systems, whole organisms, and populations have evolved and diverged.
Simply Scheme: Introducing Computer Science (2nd edition)
by Brian Harvey Matthew WrightA textbook for the introductory computer science course, using Scheme instead of a more traditional programming language. The primary goal in Parts I-V is preparation for the Scheme-based Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, while the focus of Part VI is to connect the course with the kinds of programming used in "real world" application programs like spreadsheets and databases. A PC or Macintosh diskette is available. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc. , Portland, Or.
