In Pursuit of Zeta-3: The World's Most Mysterious Unsolved Math Problem by Paul

Description: In Pursuit of Zeta-3 by Paul Nahin Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description For centuries, mathematicians the world over have tried, and failed, to solve the zeta-3 problem. Math genius Leonhard Euler attempted it in the 1700s and came up short. The straightforward puzzle considers if there exists a simple symbolic formula for the following: 1+(1/2)^3+(1/3)^3+(1/4)^3+...But why is this issue - the sum of the reciprocals of the positive integers cubed - so important? With In Pursuit of Zeta-3, popular math writer Paul Nahin investigates the history and significance of this mathematical conundrum.Drawing on detailed examples, historical anecdotes, and even occasionally poetry, Nahin sheds light on the richness of the nature of zeta-3. He shows its intimate connections to the Riemann hypothesis, another mathematical mystery that has stumped mathematicians for nearly two centuries. He looks at its links with Eulers achievements and explores the modern research area of Euler sums, where zeta-3 occurs frequently. An exact solution to the zeta-3 question wouldnt simply satisfy pure mathematical interest: it would have critical ramifications for applications in physics and engineering, such as quantum electrodynamics. Challenge problems with detailed solutions and MATLAB code are included at the end of each of the books sections.Detailing the trials and tribulations of mathematicians who have approached one of the fields great unsolved riddles, In Pursuit of Zeta-3 will tantalise curious math enthusiasts everywhere.Nahins style is entertaining, directly addressing his readers. . . . Highly recommended. Adhemar Bultheel, MAA ReviewsThis book will be both enjoyable and a rich source of useful as well as intriguing information to a wide range of readers. Michael Th.
