Sinopsis

It is often said that mathematics and music go together, and that people with a special aptitude for mathematics often have similar gifts in music.nbsp; Some music is very profound, and listeners find that there is far more in it than they appreciated at a first hearing.nbsp; A similar point can be made about an understanding of mathematics. This book introduces the reader to various topics in mathematics and is intended for precocious high school students andnbsp;college students justnbsp;beginning their study of mathematics.nbsp; The topics discussed in this book include a variety of results in number theory involving squares, and also complex numbers, early algebraic ideas such as the Euclidean algorithm, geometricalnbsp;constructions created by the Greeks, and more recentnbsp;topics such as group theory.
