This innovative math instruction resource covers a range of advanced topics, including first and second-order differential equations, the annihilator method, and the application of linear algebra in solving differential equations. It also explores nonlinear systems and partial differential equations, integrating concepts from Newtonian mechanics. The inclusion of "Romeo and Juliet" suggests an interdisciplinary approach, possibly illustrating mathematical concepts through literary examples, enhancing the learning experience.

Featuring strategies for solving the puzzles and computations illustrated using the SAGE open-source computer algebra system, the second edition of Adventures in Group Theory is perfect for mathematics enthusiasts and for use as a supplementary textbook.

Focusing on problem-solving strategies, this second edition offers insights into puzzles and computations through the SAGE open-source computer algebra system. It's designed for mathematics enthusiasts and serves as an excellent supplementary textbook, enhancing understanding of group theory concepts.

Using an original mode of presentation, and emphasizing the computational nature of the subject, this book explores a number of the unsolved problems that still exist in coding theory. A well-established and highly relevant branch of mathematics, the theory of error-correcting codes is concerned with reliably transmitting data over a ‘noisy’ channel. Despite frequent use in a range of contexts, the subject still contains interesting unsolved problems that have resisted solution by some of the most prominent mathematicians of recent decades. Employing Sage—a free open-source mathematics software system—to illustrate ideas, this book is intended for graduate students and researchers in algebraic coding theory. The work may be used as supplementary reading material in a graduate course on coding theory or for self-study.

The book contains surveys on the current state and the historical background of cryptography. It will be useful to mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers, as well as historians with an interest in cryptography.
