Description of  Foundation Mathematics for Computer Science: A Visual Approach

3031665481 pdf 3031665481 pdf In this book, John Vince has reviewed and edited the third edition and added chapters on statistics, Georg Riemanns hypothesis, eigen vectors, curves, analytic geometry and Fourier analysis. These subjects complement the existing chapters on visual mathematics, numbers, algebra, logic, combinatorics, probability, modular arithmetic, trigonometry, coordinate systems, determinants, vectors, complex numbers, matrices, geometric matrix transforms, differential and integral calculus. During this journey, the author touches upon more esoteric topics such as quaternions, octonions, Grassmann algebra, barycentric coordinates, transfinite sets and prime numbers. John Vince describes a range of mathematical topics that provide a solid foundation for an undergraduate course in computer science, starting with a review of number systems and their relevance to digital computers and finishing with calculating area and volume using calculus. Readers will find that the authors visual approach should greatly improve their understanding as to why certain mathematical structures exist, together with how they are used in real-world applications.
