Statistical Thinking: Improving Business Performance

By Roger W Hoerl, Ronald D Snee

"This book will help managers who are undertaking improvement initiatives (six sigma, balanced scorecard, etc.) in their business understand the "why" and "what" of statistics (i.e., what we are trying to accomplish and the role that statistics can play) prior to getting into the "how" (i.e., statistical techniques).

In Pursuit of Zeta-3: The World's Most Mysterious Unsolved Math Problem

By Paul Nahin

An engrossing look at the history and importance of a centuries-old but still unanswered math problem For centuries, mathematicians the world over have tried, and failed, to solve the zeta-3 problem. Math genius Leonhard Euler attempted it in the 1700s and came up short. The straightforward puzzle considers if there exists a simple symbolic formula for the following: 1+(1/2)^3+(1/3)^3+(1/4)^3+.

Music by the Numbers: From Pythagoras to Schoenberg

By Eli Maor

How music has influenced mathematics, physics, and astronomy from ancient Greece to the twentieth century Music is filled with mathematical elements, the works of Bach are often said to possess a math-like logic, and Igor Stravinsky said "musical form is close to mathematics," while Arnold Schoenberg, Iannis Xenakis, and Karlheinz Stockhausen went further, writing music explicitly based on mathematical principles.

Symmetry

By Hermann Weyl

Symmetry is a classic study of symmetry in mathematics, the sciences, nature, and art from one of the twentieth century's greatest mathematicians. Hermann Weyl explores the concept of symmetry beginning with the idea that it represents a harmony of proportions, and gradually departs to examine its more abstract varieties and manifestations-as bilateral, translatory, rotational, ornamental, and crystallographic.
