The hidden history of the pocket calculator―a device that ushered in modern mathematics, helped build the atomic bomb, and went with us to the moon―and the mathematicians, designers, and inventors who brought it to life
Starting with hands, abacus, and slide rule, humans have always reached for tools to simplify math. The pocket calculator changed our world, until it was supplanted by more modern devices that, in a cruel twist of irony, it helped...

I HATE MATH.....There I said it! I bet thousands of students and parents have said it. When I was really having problems with Algebra in the 9th grade, my Grandmother ( who was a teacher) told me "math isn't hard if you understand it".
When I started my career in teaching math in Jacksonville Florida I soon learned that all the math books we had were lacking really good easy to understand instructions on explaining specific areas. Most of...

La matemática moderna se construye sobre las teorías desarrolladas en el siglo pasado por las escuelas francesas, en particular, por la escuela formada por los matemáticos reunidos bajo el seudónimo de Nicolas Bourbaki. Entre tantas grandes ideas, hay una que es fundamental, y es la de función entre conjuntos. Este libro está dedicado a entender dicho concepto.En el primer capítulo se estudia la definición de función entre conjuntos tomando...
