A grasp of the precision, beauty, and complexity of mathematics requires an understanding of some of the subject's technical aspects. The real number system provides an ideal framework for cultivating such an appreciation, and this detailed investigation of the system offers an accessible introducti

โฆ Synopsis
HIS course of study is intended to acquaint the student with the
basic facts of a mathematical system of great importance:ยท The
course, while being quite detailed and technical, is of great cultural
value to nonscience students. It seems that one cannot have any
real understanding of what mathematics is about, what its methods
are, and what is meant by mathematical creativity without having
detailed experience in some technical aspect of mathematics.

This book provides a unique and alternative approach to the study of nonlinear control systems, with applications. The approach presented is based on the use of algebraic methods which are intrinsically linear, rather than differential geometric methods, which are more commonly found in other refere
