Manual de matemáticas para preparación olímpica

This book presents plane geometry following Hilbert's axiomatic system. It is inspired on R. Hartshome's fantastic book Geometry: Euclid and Beyond, and can be considered as a careful exposition of most of chapter II of that book. It must be remarked that non-euclidean geometries, i.e. geometries not satisfying the fifth postulate of Euclid, enter the scene, in a natural way, from the very beginning. The vast majority of plane geometry texts are only concerned with euclidean geometry, loosing the oportunity of not only teaching rigorous reasoning to freshmen, but at the same time exposing...

La matemática antes de Grecia - Los griegos (aprox. 800 A. de C.-600 D. de C.) - Edad Media (aprox. 500 hasta 1400 D. de C.) - Humanismo (aprox. 1300-1580 D. de C.) - Barroco temprano (aprox. 1550 hasta 1650 D. de C.) - Periodo culminante del barroco (1625-1665) - Epoca final del barroco (1665-1730) - La ilustración (1700-1790).

This is a fascinating anthology of facts and anecdotes from the world of Mathematics that will impress any reader. We can find here, among other things, probability paradoxes, confusing Shakespeare's sonnets and theories about the chasing game, without forgetting the definitive demonstration of 1+1=2.

Este libro, fue escrito cuidadosamente para completar el curso iniciado en Álgebra, y como éste, refleja, en forma didáctica, los temas que el S.M.S.G. (Grupo para el estudio de las Matemáticas Escolares), ha recomendado como indispensables, ofreciendo una presentación modernizada de la Matemática tradicional.
