How Small Social Systems Work: From Soccer Teams to Jazz Trios and Families - Paperback

$53.98

by Yair Neuman (Author)Most of us are intuitively familiar with small social systems, such as families and soccer teams.

The current manuscript, which emerged from high-level scientific publications on the subject, aims to bridge this gap in our understanding of small social systems. The book aims to explain, ...

Undecidability, Uncomputability, and Unpredictability - Paperback

$145.78

by Anthony Aguirre (Editor), Zeeya Merali (Editor), David Sloan (Editor)For a brief time in history, it was possible to imagine that a sufficiently advanced intellect could, given sufficient time and resources, in principle understand how to mathematically prove everything that was true. They could discern what math corresponds to physical laws, and use those laws to predict anything that happens before it happens. That time has passed. Gödel's undecidability results (the incompleteness theor...

The Fabulous Fibonacci Numbers - Paperback

$22.95

by Alfred S. Posamentier (Author), Ingmar Lehmann (Author)The most ubiquitous, and perhaps the most intriguing, number pattern in mathematics is the Fibonacci sequence.
