-Titulo Original : The Joy Of Abstraction An Exploration Of Math, Category Theory, And Life-Fabricante : Cambridge University Press-Descripcion Original: Mathematician and popular science author Eugenia Cheng is on a mission to show you that mathematics can be flexible, creative, and visual. This joyful journey through the world of abstract mathematics into category theory will demystify mathematical thought processes and help you develop your own thinking, with no formal mathematical background needed. The book brings abstract mathematical ideas down to earth using examples of social justice, current events, and everyday life - from privilege to COVID-19 to driving routes. The journey begins with the ideas and workings of abstract mathematics, after which you will gently climb toward more technical material, learning everything needed to understand category theory, and then key concepts in category theory like natural transformations, duality, and even a glimpse of ongoing research in higher-dimensional category theory. For fans of How to Bake Pi, this will help you dig deeper into mathematical concepts and build your mathematical background. Review ‘This book is an educational tour de force that presents mathematical thinking as a right-brained activity. Most ‘left brain/right brain’ education-talk is at best a crude metaphor; but by putting the main focus on the process of (mathematical) abstraction, Eugenia Cheng supplies the reader (whatever their ‘brain-type’) with the mental tools to make that distinction precise and potentially useful. The book takes the reader along in small steps; but make no mistake, this is a major intellectual journey. Starting not with numbers, but everyday experiences, it develops what is regarded as a very advanced branch of abstract mathematics (category theory, though Cheng really uses this as a proxy for mathematical thinking generally). This is not watered-down math; it’s the real thing. And it challenges the reader to think-deeply at times. We ‘left-brainers’ can learn plenty from it too.’ Keith Devlin, Stanford University (Emeritus), author of The Joy of Sets ‘Eugenia Cheng loves mathematics not the ordinary sort that most people encounter, but the most abstract sort that she calls ‘the mathematics of mathematics.’ And in this lovely excursion through her abstract world of Category Theory, she aims to give those who are willing to join her a glimpse of that world. The journey will change how they view mathematics. Cheng is a brilliant writer, with prose that feels like poetry. Her contagious enthusiasm makes her the perfect guide.’ John Ewing, President, Math for America ‘Eugenia Chengs singular contribution is in making abstract mathematics relevant to all through her great ingenuity in developing novel connections between logic and life. Her latest book, The Joy of Abstraction, provides a long awaited fully rigorous yet gentle introduction to the ‘mathematics of mathematics,’ allowing anyone to experience the joy of learning to think categorically.’ Emily Riehl, Johns Hopkins University, author of Category Theory in Context ‘Archimedes is quoted as having said once: ‘Mathematics reveals its secrets only to those who approach it with pure love, for its own beauty.’ In this fascinating book, Eugenia Cheng approaches the abstract mathematical area of Category Theory with pure love, to reveal its beauty to anybody interested in learning something about contemporary mathematics.’ Mario Livio, astrophysicist, author of The Golden Ratio and Brilliant Blunders Eugenia Cheng’s latest book will appeal to a remarkably broad and diverse audience, from non-mathematicians who would like to get a sense of what mathematics is really about, to experienced mathematicians who are not category theorists but would like a basic understanding of category theory. Speaking as one of the latter, I found it a real pleasure to be able to read the book without constantly having to stop and puzzle over the details. I have learnt a lot from it already, including what the famous Yoneda lemma is all about, and I look forward to learning mor...

-Titulo Original : How The War Was Won Air-sea Power And Allied Victory In World War Ii (cambridge Military Histories)-Fabricante : Cambridge University Press-Descripcion Original: World War II is usually seen as a titanic land battle, decided by mass armies, most importantly those on the Eastern Front. Phillips Payson OBrien shows us the war in a completely different light. In this compelling new history of the Allied path to victory, he argues that in terms of production, technology and economic power, the war was far more a contest of air and sea than of land supremacy. He shows how the Allies developed a predominance of air and sea power which put unbearable pressure on Germany and Japans entire war-fighting machine from Europe and the Mediterranean to the Pacific. Air and sea power dramatically expanded the area of battle and allowed the Allies to destroy over half of the Axis equipment before it had even reached the traditional battlefield. Battles such as El Alamein, Stalingrad and Kursk did not win World War II; air and sea power did. Review It has become the conventional wisdom that the Soviet Union won the Second World War with only minor contributions from the United States and Great Britain. Phillips Payson OBrien has written a superb rejoinder to such nonsense in a work that represents a major contribution to our understanding of that terrible conflict. It needs to be read by anyone interested in World War II. Williamson Murray, author of A War to Be Won: Fighting the Second World War This is a book anyone interested in the Second World War will want to read. It refocuses the story of the war away from the battlefield, to the air and the sea, and also to the transit depot, the maintenance facility, the training base. This is an imaginative, cliche-busting work which lays bare exactly when, how and where the Axis lost the war. David Edgerton, author of Britains War Machine: Weapons, Resources and Experts in the Second World War and Warfare State: Britain, 1920-1970 This extremely serious book attempts to re-evaluate World War II not in terms of great battles … but in terms of production, mobility, and economics. OBrien argues that victory or defeat in World War II must be seen during preproduction, production, and deployment … The work focuses on equipment, mobility, and detente … Especially for graduate students, professors of military history, and those generally interested in the history of Europe or the Far East. Summing up: essential. R. Higham, Choice A novel, provocative, and well-written study based on extensive documentary sources on both sides of the Atlantic. Its authors conviction that the effectiveness of tactical air power over strategic … was the most important lesson of the war, one that remains true to this day makes the book worth careful reading. With his emphasis on degrading an enemys mobility (perhaps a nod to Basil H. Liddell Harts indirect approach?) Phillips Payson OBrien offers a way forward for those working on AirSea Battle, area access, and area denial problems in modern warfare. His work will engage and instruct historians of World War II as well as current military officers, strategists, and decision-makers. Christopher Rein, Michigan War Studies Review Such a thoroughgoing revision of the history of the war will outrage many historians. … This is a brave, important and impressively researched book, and all who have written on the Second World War will have to consider O’Brien’s cogent arguments. A. W. Purdue, The Times Higher Education Supplement Phillips Payson O’Brien’s book is revisionist history at its best: thoughtful, well grounded in secondary and primary sources, and provocative. It is a mature work, the result of several years of research and reflection. … O’Brien deserves high praise for writing a book that will force scholars to think hard about the nature of World War II and perhaps also about the nature of modern warfare in general. Talbot C. Imlay, The Journal of Modern History ‘… recommended …’ Geoffrey Till, The Naval Review Book Description An important new history of air and sea p...
