Do the Math Uneducated Guesses
Number-Crunching
Using Evidence to Uncover Misguided Education Policies
Taming Unruly Computational Problems from Mathematical Physics to Science Fiction
Howard Wainer “With his usual verve, flair, and disdain for pious nonsense, Howard Wainer offers a refreshingly fact-based view of a complex problem: the use of tests in educational selection and evaluation. A must-read for anyone involved in these issues and a fun read for anyone who wishes to be educated and entertained at the same time.” —Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Laureate in Economics, Princeton University Cloth $24.95 978-0-691-14928-8
Paul J. Nahin “While there is a plethora of computational physics books, only this one brings the sheer joy and fascination of the subject to the general reader. The problems in Number-Crunching are nicely selected, the prose is clear and humorous, and the solutions range from the interesting to the gloriously counterintuitive.” —Lawrence Weinstein, coauthor of Guesstimation Cloth $29.95 978-0-691-14425-2

Pythagoras’ Revenge
Mathematical Perspective and Fractal Geometry in Art
A Mathematical Mystery
Marc Frantz & Annalisa Crannell
Arturo Sangalli
“This entire book is a thing of beauty: the mathematics, the visual art, the writing, the exercises, and the organization. The authors’ passion and excitement for their subject matter is apparent on every page. I am in awe.” —Robert Bosch, Oberlin College
“Who would have guessed that a murder-treasure mystery lay hidden behind a geometric formula familiar to every high-schooler? Weaving a wealth of mathematical scholarship into a compellingly plotted novel, Sangalli recounts a fascinating tale of ancient arson and modern sleuthing.” —Bryce Christensen, Booklist

Hypoelliptic Laplacian and Orbital Integrals
Functional Analysis
Jean-Michel Bismut This book uses the hypoelliptic Laplacian to evaluate semisimple orbital integrals in a formalism that unifies index theory and the trace formula. Annals of Mathematics Studies, 177 Phillip A. Griffiths, John N. Mather, and Elias M. Stein, Series Editors Paper $65.00 978-0-691-15130-4 Cloth $110.00 978-0-691-15129-8
Introduction to Further Topics in Analysis
Elias M. Stein & Rami Shakarchi This is the fourth and final volume in the Princeton Lectures in Analysis, a series of textbooks that aim to present, in an integrated manner, the core areas of analysis. Beginning with the basic facts of functional analysis, this volume looks at Banach spaces, Lp spaces, and distribution theory, and highlights their roles in harmonic analysis.
