I intended to give this book to my father in November, when we were all gathering in Bloomington, Indiana, for a long-overdue visit. Baker was a nature writer who spent winters on the United Kingdom’s Essex coast, watching the peregrine falcons who made the flat marshes home for a few months. The third book is the 50th anniversary edition of The Peregrine by J.A. I’m two-thirds of the way through Dimaline’s novel, way behind my original schedule to discuss it for this excerpt of Go Figure. The second is Cherie Dimaline’s award-winning The Marrow Thieves, a riveting dystopian tale that disinters the real horror of the Indian residential schools in Canada. That’s such an intimate thing, reading a person’s favorite book.
Steve loved the book, said it was probably his favorite, which is one of the reasons I haven’t even cracked the spine yet. Haruki Murakami’s Norwegian Wood, which was recommended to me by my husband’s long-time friend, Steve. There are three books that have been on my nightstand for two years now. The publication is a vital source of information for historians, mathematicians, and researchers interested in infinitesimal calculus.“Go Figure” is a regular feature at Bloom that highlights and celebrates the interdependence and integration of math and literature, and that will “chip away at the cult of youth that surrounds mathematical and scientific thinking.” Read the inaugural feature here. The book reviews the infinitesimal methods in England and Low Countries and rectification of arcs. Topics include the link between differential and integral processes, concept of tangent, first investigations of the cycloid, and arithmetization of integration methods.
The manuscript then examines infinitesimals and indivisibles in the early 17th century and further advances in France and Italy. Discussions focus on the growth of kinematics in the West, latitude of forms, influence of Aristotle, axiomatization of Greek mathematics, theory of proportion and means, method of exhaustion, discovery method of Archimedes, and curves, normals, tangents, and curvature. The publication first ponders on Greek mathematics, transition to Western Europe, and some center of gravity determinations in the later 16th century. The Origins of Infinitesimal Calculus focuses on the evolution, development, and applications of infinitesimal calculus. The publication is a vital source of information for historians, mathematicians, and researchers interested in infinitesimal calculus.
