Mathematical Discovery
IMPORTANT NOTICE FEB 10, 2012 |
This web site is being redesigned and moving to a new server. Go to ClassicalRealAnalysis.info for all resources now. The .com site will reopen as a commercial site for the sale of paperback copies of our texts. | Why the move: MS Office Live has hosted this service since 2008. Originally they offered free domain name and free hosting for small businesses. Last year they cancelled free domain name. This year they cancelled free hosting. Since this web site is not portable the way MS designed it, we have reworked everything and found a new host (Gigapros). The new site: ClassicalRealAnalysis.info is still under construction but has all the FREE files available as well as instructions for purchase of paperbacks. Come back to ClassicalRealAnalysis.com after April 2012 to see a leaner more commercial site. The .info site will be the site most students are looking for. |
FREE PDF POLICY: Our new policy is to distribute completely FREE PDF files for all of our texts. You can find the files on ClassicalRealAnalysis.info | How you can help: The goal of the new .INFO site is to offer a broad range of free and/or inexpensive resources for mathematics students. Send us your comments or post them on the new BLOG that you will find on the site. Since the site is under construction you suggestions for design improvement are really very welcome. Many students have thanked us for supplying the free materials: |

BISAC: Mathematics / General
This book is an outgrowth of classes given at the University of California, Santa Barbara, mainly for students who had little mathematical background. Many of the students indicated they never understood what mathematics was all about (beyond what they learned in algebra and geometry). Was there any more mathematics to be discovered or created? How could one actually discover or create new mathematics? In order to give these students some sort of answers to such questions, we designed a course in which the students could actually participate in the discovery of mathematics.
