The Cauchy-Schwarz Master Class : An Introduction to the Art of Mathematical Inequalities
[Buy it!] | J. Michael Steele | USD 55.30
(Fri May 24 04:17:37 2024) | Choosebooks/ZVAB | AHA-BUCH GmbH | ISBN10: 052154677X, ISBN13: 9780521546775, [publisher: Cambridge University Press] Softcover Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This lively, problem-oriented text, first published in 2004, is designed to coach readers toward mastery of the most fundamental mathematical inequalities. With the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality as the initial guide, the reader is led through a sequence of fascinating problems whose solutions are presented as they might have been discovered - either by one of history's famous mathematicians or by the reader. The problems emphasize beauty and surprise, but along the way readers will find systematic coverage of the geometry of squares, convexity, the ladder of power means, majorization, Schur convexity, exponential sums, and the inequalities of Hölder, Hilbert, and Hardy. The text is accessible to anyone who knows calculus and who cares about solving problems. It is well suited to self-study, directed study, or as a supplement to courses in analysis, probability, and combinatorics.
