O'Rourke Joseph: The Mathematics of
Origami

The Mathematics of Origami

Problem Solving in Mathematics and Beyond

This book tells the stories of some of the great quests of mathematics, such as the centuries-long pursuit for the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. These quests are searches for difficult-to-discover universal truths, pursued with passion not only by mathematicians and scientists, but by kings, emperors and even Jean-Luc Picard, the captain of Star Trek's Starship Enterprise. Some of their exploits are adventures as fascinating as any historical or current-day drama. The truths they have discovered help us understand not only mathematics, but also the Universe - and sometimes, ourselves.In addition to well-known quests such as Fermat's Last Theorem and the Goldbach Conjecture, some of the chapters describe more recent pursuits such as the Traveling Salesman Problem and the Multi-armed Bandit Problem. While some of the quests have been completed, others are still ongoing, and one (the Six Squares Problem) can be understood - and maybe even solved - by a five-year-old child.

Mathematics: The Quest For Truth And Beauty

Beading With Algorithms: Cellular Automata In Peyote Stitch

This practical guide to optimization combines mathematical theory with hands-on coding examples to explore how Python can be used to model problems and obtain the best possible solutions. Presenting a balance of theory and practical applications, it is the ideal resource for upper-undergraduate and graduate students in applied mathematics, data science, business, industrial engineering and operations research, as well as practitioners in related fields. Beginning with an introduction to the concept of optimization, this text presents the key ingredients of an optimization problem and the choices one needs to make when modeling a real-life problem mathematically. Topics covered range from linear and network optimization to convex optimization and optimizations under uncertainty. The book's Python code snippets, alongside more than 50 Jupyter notebooks on the author's GitHub, allow students to put the theory into practice and solve problems inspired by real-life challenges, while numerous exercises sharpen students' understanding of the methods discussed.

Hands-On Mathematical Optimization with Python

This text focuses on the parts of stochastic theory that are particularly relevant to applications. It begins with a description of Brownian motion and the associated stochastic calculus, including the relationship to partial differential equations. It then solves stochastic differential equations by a variety of methods. The author also studies in detail the one-dimensional case. The book concludes with a treatment of semigroups and generators, applying the theory of Harris chains to diffusions as well as weak convergence of Markov chains to diffusions.

Geometry Workbook for Anyone: Learn, Recap, Practice, Discover, Enjoy!This new volume focuses on problem-solving in plane geometry topics and is suitable for any reader with elementary geometrical knowledge at the secondary school level. The author has assembled an exceptional collection of geometry exercises with approximately equal weight allocated among different types of problems: proofs, calculations, and geometric straightedge-and-compass constructions.The book is divided into seven chapters, with sets of problems arranged in approximate order of increasing difficulty. The first chapter is devoted to a discussion of several useful strategies and techniques for approaching geometric problems. The next chapter presents warm-up exercises to 'stretch' geometric muscles and refresh the very basic facts about topics covered in subsequent chapters. Each of the following chapters: 'Triangles, ' 'Quadrilaterals, ' 'Circles, ' and 'Areas' has three sections (A, B, and C), starting with simple problems and questions (section A), progressing to intermediate problems (section B), and ending with more advanced and complex challenges (section C), some of which were offered in math Olympiads and various math contests. The final chapter is a mixture of challenging problems comprising material covered in previous chapters.At the end of the book, the 'Solutions and Answers' section provides detailed explanations and solutions for all the problems. In that section, for many interesting problems, the author reveals not just one but multiple alternative solutions, compares them, and discusses their effectiveness. The emphasis is on how to acquire insight and develop different strategies for tackling geometrical challenges. By solving these problems, readers discover fascinating links between them, unlock geometrical secrets, build self-confidence, and -- for many skeptics -- discover that learning geometry can be fun and enjoyable!

Learning Geometry Through Problem Solving

Fundamentals and Applications

Graph Theory

This book presents a comprehensive treatment of pricing and hedging soccer betting contracts using the modern techniques of probability, statistics, finance, and portfolio management. It introduces betting in general and then addresses the probabilistic intuition needed in the more complex world of soccer betting. The author presents an innovative perspective by thinking about betting odds in terms of the expected number of goals of both teams. In addition, when the betting market is in play, the book treats betting before the game and during the game separately.
