$105.28

by I. M. Gelfand (Author), Alexander Shen (Author)This book is about algebra. This is a very old science and its gems have lost their charm for us through everyday use. We have tried in this book to refresh them for you. The main part of the book is made up of problems. The best way to deal with them is: Solve the problem by yourself - compare your solution with the solution in the book (if it exists) - go to the next problem. However, if you have difficulties solving a problem (and some of t...

$61.54

by I. M. Gelfand (Author), Mark Saul (Author)"The idea behind teaching is to expect students to learn why things are true, rather than have them memorize ways of solving a few problems, as most of our books have done. [This] same philosophy lies behind the current text by Gel'fand and Shen. There are specific 'practical' problems but there is much more development of the ideas....[The authors] have shown how to write a serious yet lively book on algebra." --- R. Askey, The American Mathemati...

Introduction to Partial Differential Equations with MATLAB - Hardcover
