    Description

    There is a long tradition of relating the history of mathematics to its teaching, and increasingly this has extended throughout mathematical education. This volume brings together articles from well known figures in this area, and provides many insights, both in particular cases and in generality, into how the history of mathematics can find application in the teaching of mathematics itself. Educators at all levels, and mathematicians interested in the history of their subject, will find much of interest in this book.

    • Should interest a wide range of educators
    • Has been thoroughly edited to form a coherent whole
    • Will also interest mathematicians interested in the history of their subject

    Reviews & endorsements

    'The result is a beautifully presented book whose contributors are international specialists in the history of mathematics and its use in teaching. The book is completed by numerous illustrations as well at the end by Notes on COntributors. To sum up, we may recommend it as an inspiring work especially for those teaching mathematics at any level, for studnets, and in general, for anybody who is interested in mathematics and its historical aspects.' Acta. Sci. Math.

    Probability in the Engineering and Informational Sciences

    : Journal

    The primary focus of the journal is on stochastic modelling in the physical and engineering sciences, with particular emphasis on queueing theory, reliability theory, inventory theory, simulation, mathematical finance and probabilistic networks and graphs. Papers on analytic properties and related disciplines are also considered, as well as more general papers on applied and computational probability, if appropriate. Readers include academics working in statistics, operations research, computer science, engineering, management science and physical sciences as well as industrial practitioners engaged in telecommunications, computer science, financial engineering, operations research and management science.

    Journal of Applied Probability
    Journal of Applied Probability

    : Journal

    Cambridge University Press will be publishing the Journal of Applied Probability from 2016.With a publication record spanning more than five decades, the Journal of Applied Probability is the oldest journal devoted to the publication of research in the field of applied probability. It is an international journal published by the Applied Probability Trust, and it serves as a companion publication to the Advances in Applied Probability. Its wide audience includes leading researchers across the entire spectrum of applied probability, including biosciences applications, operations research, telecommunications, computer science, engineering, epidemiology, financial mathematics, the physical and social sciences, and any field where stochastic modeling is used.A submission to Applied Probability represents a submission that may, at the Editor-in-Chief’s discretion, appear in either the Journal of Applied Probability or the Advances in Applied Probability. Typically, shorter papers appear in the Journal, with longer contributions appearing in the Advances.
