When Least Is Best: How Mathematicians Discovered Many Clever Ways to Make Things as Small (or as Large) as Possible
by Nahin, Paul J.
|
| |
| What's the best way to photograph a speeding bullet? How can lost hikers find their way out of a forest? This engaging and witty volume answers these intriguing questions and more. It shows how life often works at the extremes -- with values becoming as small (or as large) as possible -- and how mathematicians over the centuries have struggled to calculate these problems of minima and maxima. | | |
