Download or read book Mathematical Constants written by Steven R. Finch and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-08-18 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steven Finch provides 136 essays, each devoted to a mathematical constant or a class of constants, from the well known to the highly exotic. This book is helpful both to readers seeking information about a specific constant, and to readers who desire a panoramic view of all constants coming from a particular field, for example, combinatorial enumeration or geometric optimization. Unsolved problems appear virtually everywhere as well. This work represents an outstanding scholarly attempt to bring together all significant mathematical constants in one place.
