Author Sue Goodman piques student curiosity and interest without losing necessary rigor so that they can appreciate the beauty and fun of mathematics. The text demonstrates that mathematics is an active and ever-changing field with many problems still unsolved, and students will see how the various areas of mathematics ? algebra, combinatorics, geometry, calculus, and differential equations ? interact with topology. Students learn some of the major ideas and results in the field, do explorations and fairly elementary proofs, and become aware of some recent questions.

Do you know why you can change log(x)+log(y) to a different form, but not log(x+y)? This page helps you make sense out of the laws of logarithms.

But at the same time, it is a joyful celebration of the subject--and a stern lecture to those who would sully it by dilettantism or attempts to make it merely useful. "The mathematician's patterns," G.H. Hardy declares, "like the painter's or the poet's, must be beautiful; the ideas, like the colours or the words, must fit together in a harmonious way. Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics."

One of the major highlights of his career has been an announcement of a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem in 1993 and a discovery of a beautiful method to complete that proof in 1994.

AMSI's premises were provided by the University of Melbourne and are located at 111 Barry Street, Carlton. AMSI's mission is to become a nationally and internationally recognised centre for the mathematical sciences, providing service to its member institutions, improving the international competitiveness of Australian industry and commerce and enhancing the national level of school mathematics, by the provision and support of mathematical and stati Educational > Mathematics narky Mon, 05 Jun 2006 23:49:47 GMT http://www.latrobe.edu.au/handbook/2007/undergraduate/science-tech/single-degrees/sbmss.htm In the last 50 years, mathematics has found widespread applications in areas as diverse as information technology, economics, management, finance and biology, as well as deepening its traditional relationships with physics, chemistry and engineering. Statistical science plays a crucial role in providing the tools necessary for the understanding of scientific, engineering and economic data. Demand for mathematicians and statisticians is currently high. This degree course provides the opportunity for students to combine significant studies in mathematics and statistics with units from a wide variety of disciplines, including those with which mathematics and statistics have not traditionally been associated. In doing this, students have the opportunity to desi Educational > University > LaTrobe narky Sun, 23 Jul 2006 22:55:18 GMT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bijection In mathematics, a bijection, or a bijective function is a function f from a set X to a set Y with the property that, for every y in Y, there is exactly one x in X such that f(x) = y. Alternatively, f is bijective if it is a one-to-one correspondence between those sets; i.e., both one-to-one (injective) and onto (surjective).[1] (See also Bijection, injection and surjection.)
