This introductory text explores the translation of geometric concepts into the language of numbers in order to define the position of a point in space (the orbit of a satellite, for example). The two-part treatment begins with discussions of the coordinates of points on a line, coordinates of points in a plane, and the coordinates of points in space. Part 2 examines geometry as an aid to calculation and the necessity and peculiarities of four-dimensional space. Written for systematic study, it features a helpful series of "road signs" in the margins, alerting students to passages requiring par

The need for improved mathematics education at the high school and college levels has never been more apparent than in the 1990’s. As early as the 1960’s, I.M. Gelfand and his colleagues in the USSR thought hard about this same question and developed a style for presenting basic mathematics in a clear and simple form that engaged the curiosity and intellectual interest of thousands of high school and college students. These same ideas, this development, are available in the following books to any student who is willing to read, to be stimulated, and to learn. "The Method of Coord

While the use of GPS technology is growing dramatically among land surveyors there is not a commensurate growth in the understanding of coordinate systems. It is not possible to survey accurately or use GPS properly without taking the shape of the earth into consideration and without a clear understanding of coordinate systems. Land Coordinates for Surveyors and Mappers covers ellipsoids, datums and plane coordinate systems as they are used in GIS and GPS. This new text also covers the geoid and the concepts of elevation. Each of these topics implies other issues from mapping angles to datum d

This book is about visualization, systematically incorporating the fantastic human pattern recognition into the problem-solving process, and focusing on parallel coordinates. The barrier, imposed by our three-dimensional habitation and perceptual experience, has been breached by this innovative and versatile methodology. The accurate visualization of multidimensional problems and multivariate data unlocks insights into the role of dimensionality. Beginning with an introductory chapter on geometry, the mathematical foundations are intuitively developed, interlaced with applications t

The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates is the most widely used and cited atlas of the mouse brain in print. It provides researchers and students with both accurate stereotaxic coordinates for laboratory use, and detailed delineations and indexing of structures for reference. The accompanying DVD provides drawings of brains structures that can be used as templates for making figures for publication. The 3rd edition is both a major revision and an expansion of previous editions. Delineations and photographs in the horizontal plane of section now complement the coronal and sagittal series, an
