 Название: Математический беспредел. От элементарной математики к возвышенным абстракциям Автор: Юджиния Ченг Издательство: Питер Год: 2019 Формат: pdf Размер: 20 Мб Качество: Хорошее Язык: Русский
Можете представить себе что-нибудь огромнее Вселенной, но в то же время спокойно помещающееся в вашей голове? Что же это такое? Бесконечность! Юджиния Ченг отправляет нас в потрясающее математическое путешествие, чтобы разобраться в самых загадочных математических абстракциях. Почему некоторые числа невозможно сосчитать? Почему бесконечность + 1 не то же самое, что 1 + бесконечность? Мы узнаем о парадоксе «Гранд-отеля», сможем накормить 7 миллиардов человек с помощью шахматной доски и даже получим бесконечное количество печенек из маленького (конечного) кусочка теста. Всё это позволит понять и полюбить такую странную и загадочную абстрактную математику. Невероятная книга об огромной и бесконечной Вселенной увлекает и интригует, показывая, как один маленький математический символ вмещает в себя огромную идею.

 Автор: Г. И. Покровский Название: Гидродинамика высоких скоростей Издательство: М:, Знание Год: 1966 Страниц: 48 Формат: DJVU, PDF Размер: 10 МБ
Величина скорости — понятие, конечно, относительное. В технике и природе встречаются чрезвычайно различные скорости. Например, геологические изменения, приводящие к подъему или опусканию земной поверхности, протекают со скоростями, равными долям миллиметра в год. По сравнению с этим скорость перемещения улитки покажется грандиозной... |
