What is a space-filling curve? What is the mathematical basis behind cryptography? How does the scanner at your grocery store know when it hasn't scanned a UPC number correctly? Now that Fermat's Last Theorem has been solved, what's the next big challenge for mathematicians? These questions and others are part of the explorations you'll take in The Mathematical Explorer.
The Mathematical Explorer is for everyone, young or old, who has ever delighted in finding the unexpected. You won't need a degree in higher math; all you'll need is a little basic algebra and a sense of fun. More than just an electronic textbook, The Mathematical Explorer is part guide, part calculator, part museum, part textbook -- and completely fun!
Developed by Stan Wagon and Wolfram Research, the Mathematical Explorer combines text, graphics, and formulas in an easy-to-use notebook interface that is completely interactive, making you a participant and not just a spectator to mathematical ideas. The Mathematical Explorer invites you to explore many interesting questions about both physical and abstract phenomena and to gain insight by computation and visualization.
