The Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences de N. J. A. Sloane

The Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences

Autor N. J. A. Sloane, Simon Plouffe
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 apr 1995

Descoperim în The Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences un instrument de lucru indispensabil pentru orice cercetător care utilizează modelarea matematică, de la teoria numerelor la chimie organică și botanică. Aplicabilitatea sa practică rezidă în capacitatea de a identifica rapid un șir necunoscut apărut într-o cercetare, oferind imediat contextul matematic și sursele bibliografice necesare. Notăm cu interes că această ediție, semnată de N. J. A. Sloane și Simon Plouffe, extinde considerabil lucrarea clasică anterioară, depășind pragul de 5000 de secvențe catalogate.

Structura volumului este concepută pentru eficiență: primele capitole funcționează ca un curs intensiv despre analiza diferențelor, funcții generatoare și metode de investigare computerizată a șirurilor. Progresia editorială conduce cititorul de la tehnici de analiză manuală la utilizarea versiunilor on-line și a bazelor de date pe suport magnetic, asigurând o acoperire metodologică completă. În corpul principal al enciclopediei, fiecare secvență beneficiază de o descriere riguroasă, fiind adesea însoțită de eseuri care explică originile și conexiunile cu alte structuri matematice.

Comparabil cu Handbook of Discrete and Combinatorial Mathematics în rigurozitate, volumul de față este actualizat pentru nevoile contemporane de documentare rapidă, axându-se specific pe catalogarea exhaustivă a șirurilor, spre deosebire de abordarea tematică mai largă a lui Kenneth H. Rosen. Față de CRC Standard Mathematical Tables and Formulas, care oferă o privire de ansamblu asupra formulelor matematice, lucrarea lui Sloane rămâne sursa de referință unică pentru identificarea precisă a termenului următor într-o progresie complexă, fiind susținută de o bibliografie de peste 25 de pagini.

Of interest to those working in: number theory, combinatronics, graph theory, discrete mathematics, computer science, algebra, geometry, communications, information theory, physics, chemistry, statistics, botany, and zoology.

De ce să citești această carte

Această enciclopedie este esențială pentru matematicieni, informaticieni și ingineri care au nevoie să identifice rapid tipare numerice. Cititorul câștigă acces la o bază de date masivă, dublată de metode practice de analiză a secvențelor. Este recomandată bibliotecilor universitare și profesioniștilor care doresc să conecteze datele experimentale cu literatura matematică existentă, economisind timp prețios de cercetare prin utilizarea unui sistem de referințe încrucișate extrem de bine pus la punct.

Descriere scurtă

This encyclopedia contains more than 5000 integer sequences, over half of which have never before been catalogued. Because the sequences are presented in the most natural form, and arranged for easy reference, this book is easier to use than the authors earlier classic A Handbook of Integer Sequences<$>. The Encyclopedia<$> gives the name, mathematical description, and citations to literature for each sequence. Following sequences of particular interest, thereare essays on their origins, uses, and connections to related sequences (all cross-referenced). A valuable new feature to this text is the inclusion of a number of interesting diagrams and illustrations related to selected sequences.

The initial chapters are both amusing and enlightening. They serve as a delightful introduction to the subject and a short course on how to identify and work with integer sequences. This encyclopedia brings Sloanes ground-breaking Handbook<$> up to date, more than doubling its size, and linking both the old and the new material to an extensive bibliography (over 25 pages long), of current and classic references. An index to all the sequences in the book is also available separately on disk in Macintosh and IBM formats.

  • Contains more than 5000 integer sequences
  • Gives the name and mathematical description of each sequence
  • Provides citations to literature for each sequence
  • Extensively cross-referenced
  • Lists a bibliography of more than 25 pages

Recenzii

"In spite of the large number of published mathematical tables, until the appearance of the first authors A Handbook of Integer Sequences in 1974 there was no table of sequences of integers. The 1974 book remedied this situation to a certain extent, and the present work is a greatly expanded version of that book. The main table contains 5488 sequences of integers (compared with 2372 in the first book), collected from all branches of mathematics and science. The sequences arearranged in numerical order, and for each one a brief description and a reference is given.
An invaluable tool. I shall say no more about this marvelous reference except that every recreational mathematician should buy a copy forthwith." --MARTIN GARDNER in Scientific American

"There are twice as many sequences as there were in Sloane's Handbook and those who have the Handbook will want The Encyclopedia....Many people who have searched in vain for some of the sequences missing from the Handbook will be quick to get copies of this new and expanded version to track down these missing sequences." --RICHARD K. GUY, University of Calgary

"What's the next whole number in this sequence: 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, 22, 29? The answer can be found in one of more than 5,000 entries in The Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences." --SCIENCE NEWS

"The number of sequences cataloged here is more than double the tally of the previous incarnation....If libraries shelve this book in the reference section, they should consider aquiring a second copy for circulation. The book will likely be in high demand, not just by researchers, but by browsers at all levels who will especially appreciate the entertaining commentaries interspersed every few pages throughout the encyclopedia. Highly recommended for all academic libraries." --CHOICE

"Incomparable, eccentric, yet very useful. Contains thousands of 'well-defined and interesting' infinite integer sequences together with references for each. Sequences are arranged lexicographically and (to minimize errors) typeset from computer tape. If you ever wondered what comes after 1,2,4,8,18,71...this is the place to look it up." --American Mathematical Monthly
