“There is much here to excite admiration and perplexity.”—Lord Rayleigh
“These web essays are designed for those who have already discovered the joys of mathematics as well as for those who may be uncomfortable with mathematics. Mathematics is a fast growing and evolving subject. The domain of ways that mathematics is being applied is growing by leaps and bounds. Examples include CT scans, audio CDs, face recognition systems, and cell phone technology. Our goal is to share our excitement about these developments with you.”
