Indice

Sommario:

Questo articolo raccoglie una richiesta fattami da Zeno, il grande admin: pubblicare sul mio blog una versione adattata ad articolo di un mio post, tramite il quale consigliavo dei libri di matematica, partendo da un livello piuttosto semplice fino ad arrivare ad un livello piuttosto avanzato.

L'articolo contiene un totale di sedici libri: quattro di livello base, cinque di livello intermedio, cinque di livello avanzato e, infine, due libri riguardanti l'uso di programmi per la matematica al calcolatore.

Per ogni libro viene riportata l'indicazione della lingua in cui è stato scritto e della sua difficoltà (per esempio se l'inglese è discorsivo o tecnico), il suo codice ISBN e il suo indice, per intero, oppure il riferimento al proprio sito web.

Anche all'interno dei vari livelli che ho individuato la complessità è crescente: il primo della lista è il libro più semplice, poi si va verso quello più approfondito.

I libri che riporto qui non sono libri di matematica teorica, ma libri di matematica applicata, dato il carattere tecnico del sito.

Per una più facile ed agevole ricerca del libro interessato, consiglio l'utilizzo del comando "mostra indice", in alto a destra in questa pagina, vicino al comando per convertire l'articolo in formato pdf.

Buona consultazione!

Libri di livello base:

Ecco un libro che NON è un libro tecnico, ma non per questo è meno importante. Non troverete ricette o metodi ma dalla lettura imparerete cosa significa ragionare come un matematico e apprezzerete la matematica come strumento di pensiero e di fantasia. Indispensabile per tenere la mente aperta senza rischiare che il cervello possa cadervi fuori. Leggetelo d'estate sdraiati su un'amaca in un posto sperduto e vi perderete ancora di più ... comincerete a ragionare da matematici! Indispensabile per un tecnico.

Da pagina 167: 

 The motto which I should adopt against a course calculated to stop
the progress of discovery would be—remember √(-1).

Mai più senza numeri complessi! Dopo aver studiato questo libro, che contiene tutto ciò che può servire ad un tecnico riguardo a numeri complessi, non potrete più dire di non saperli (se è vero che non li sapete...). E' un libro introduttivo perché non contiene le trasformate integrali e altri operatori utili al fisico o all'ingegnere.

Ecco l'indice del libro:

ISBN: 0131473824

Questo libro insegna a cavarsela con l'algebra lineare, abilità tecnica fondamentale. Su questo sito potete leggere l'indice. Mentre su questo potete trovare la pagina in cui Olver parla del suo libro, pubblica l'errata corrige e tante tante altre informazioni. Presenta anche altri libri, di livello un po' più avanzato. Utile e bella è questa pagina, sempre di Olver, attraverso la quale si possono leggere i capitoli non pubblicati del libro, da scaricare prima che diventino un nuovo libro pubblicato. I capitoli non pubblicati appartengono ad un livello un po' alto rispetto a questa fascia. Riuscirete a comprenderli pienamente al livello successivo.

Passiamo all'analisi, materia che risulta essere fondamentale per tutta la fisica e l'ingegneria.

kA Kit Tung, Partial differential equations and Fourier analysis

lingua: inglese tecnico.
ISBN: NA

Le equazioni differenziali alle derivate parziali sono un argomento davvero interessante e davvero sorprendente per il numero di applicazioni in campo fisico. Quelle lineari non possono non essere nel bagaglio culturale matematico di qualunque tecnico.

Potete consultare qui l'intero libro. Il primo capitolo effettua una review delle equazioni differenziali ordinarie, il secondo invece tratta le origini fisiche delle equazioni differenziali alle derivate parziali confrontandole con quelle ordinarie. Gli altri capitoli entrano nel merito e discutono le tecniche di soluzione, anche tramite l'analisi di Fourier.

Libri di livello avanzato:

Dopo tutta questa faticaccia potete prendervi una meritatissima vacanza.

Il secondo volume approfondisce quanto trattato nel primo. Sono introdotte le tecniche analitiche e gli operatori pseudodifferenziali, incluse le misure di Wiener. Interessantissime le discussioni sugli operatori ellittici, la teoria dello scattering, la teoria degli operatori di Dirac, la teoria del moto Browniano e le equazioni della diffusione.

ISBN: 0387946527

Questo è un libro di livello davvero avanzato: vengono discusse le equazioni alle derivate parziali non lineari. Ho deciso di inserire questo libro per continuità con gli altri due, altrimenti non l'avrei fatto. Si discute la meccanica relativistica e numerosi problemi di geometria differenziale, come il problema delle superifici minime e le mappe armoniche. Vengono studiati anche i problemi di diffusione non lineare, spazi di Sobolev,spazi di Holder, spazi di Hardy e di Morrey. Vengono trattati gli operatori paradifferenziali tramite molecolarità di calcolo. Molto faticoso e per veri duri. Do not try this at home.

Programmi per la matematica:

In questa sezione volevo inserire qualche libro, destinato al matematico di professione, per imparare ad usare i tool più belli di manipolazione matematica. La preghiera è però di non usarli se non si ha ben chiaro che cosa si stia facendo. Troppe volte mi è capitato di vedere persone che trovavano risultati un po' "esotici" senza rendersi minimamente conto del madornale errore (velocità complesse o pari a 4c, Energie di TJ, Temperature pari a -100K, rendimenti pari a 10, probabilità negative...). Purtroppo però molto spesso le cose non vanno così bene. Capita, talvolta, che il risultato sia verosimile ma errato e, da questa eventualità, non c'è difesa se non quella data dall'occhio esperto e dal controllo attento di chi inserisce il modello fisico all'interno del tool matematico. Gli inglesi dicono "do not toy with fire".

Conclusioni:

Concludo con alcune citazioni, utili per meglio comprendere il linguaggio matematico, del matematico statunitense Sean Mauch:


Phrases often have different meanings in mathematics than in everyday usage. Here I have collected definitions of some mathematical terms which might confuse the novice.


  • beyond the scope of this text: Beyond the comprehension of the author.


  • difficult: Essentially impossible. Note that mathematicians never refer to problems they have solved as being difficult. This would either be boastful, (claiming that you can solve difficult problems), or self-deprecating, admitting that you found the problem to be difficult).


  • interesting: This word is grossly overused in math and science. It is often used to describe any work that the author has done, regardless of the work's significance or novelty. It may also be used as a synonym for difficult. It has a completely different meaning when used by the non-mathematician. When I tell people that I am a mathematician they typically respond with: "That must be interesting.", which means: "I don't know anything about math or what mathematicians do." I typically answer, "No. Not really."


  • non-obvious or non-trivial: Real fuckin' hard.


  • one can prove that . . . : The "one" that proved it was a genius like Gauss. The phrase literally means "you haven't got a chance in hell of proving that . . . "


  • simple: Mathematicians communicate their prowess to colleagues and students by referring to all problems as simple or trivial. If you ever become a math professor, introduce every example as being "really quite trivial."


Una volta si diceva "e non finisce qui". Per adesso, invece, la cosa finisce proprio qui. Questo però non vuol dire che, nel caso in cui mi venga in mente qualche altro bel libro che mi è piaciuto studiare, non possa nuovamente rendervi partecipi di un po' di quella che, per me, è bella matematica.

Leggendo il thread "Approfondire la matematica " by Max2433B0, sono tornato su questo spettacolare articolo, e mi son reso conto che mi era sfuggita un'osservazione by DirtyDeeds : "Per ciò che riguarda alcuni classici russi di matematica e fisica, le edizioni Mir ne avevano proposto una traduzione italiana" .. edizioni mir :) .. in matematica sono molto arrugginito,tant'è che seguo con interesse il thread di Max2433B0, tradurre poi non ne parliamo .. :).. :)

"un grammo di osservazione non vale una tonnellata di teoria?" Che ti devo dire, è diventato simpatico già dall'intro di wikipedia: "astronomo, divulgatore scientifico e autore di fantascienza statunitense."

meglio cosi'..., perche' molti ci fanno i "caconi" con i libri stranieri. Comunque a parte la sterilizzazione universitaria, a cui credo solo per una certa percentuale, ci sono ottimi testi di matematica in italiano. Magari facendo uno sforzo in piu' potresti aiutare tanta gente che sa studiare solo in italiano. Molta di questa vuole imparare solo cose a livello basilare, quelle che servono, per lavorare a livello di elettronica, elettrotecnica, non il teorema del Lerch, gli integrali di Lebesgue, o l'integrazione di astruse equazioni differenziali: vogliono sapere derivate, limiti, integrali comuni, la trasformata di Laplace e di Fourier. Ma con questo, non voglio condizionare il tuo pensiero, come io ho il mio. Sono anni che sono nel mondo del lavoro nell'elettronica degli apparati militari e sapessi quante pubblicazioni e libri stranieri, soprattutto in americano ed in inglese ho letto, ma ho sempre apprezzato la pubblicazione in italiano, perche' completamente comprensibile senza equivoci per uno che vive qui in italia. Comunque anche gli italiani "gliel'ammollano"... Auguri per le tue attivita' e senza spirito polemico, era solo per esprimere il mio punto di vista, che e' umano e relativo, come gli altri.

Ho inserito l'unico libro in Italiano che mi piace, di matematica. Purtroppo la matematica Italiana soffre della settorializzazione universitaria e purtroppo anche un po' di obsolescenza, per i molti conosciuti motivi. Quindi, secondo me, l'Italia non riesce più a produrre testi rimarchevoli, che, qualora ci fossero, inserirei più che volentieri (dura realtà). Avrei forse potuto inserire qualche testo della scuola russa (ma anche per loro si trovano solo traduzioni in Inglese, non volendo mettere l'edizione scritta in russo), purtroppo però, sugli argomenti di punta (PDE e NLPDE) non sono più molto più aggiornati e i grandi classici che trattano gli argomenti di base sono difficili da reperire.

Sono stato selettivo verso i testi in Inglese, forse, ma l'ho fatto perchè sono tanti (quindi è facile trovare buoni testi) e l'Inglese è una lingua ampiamente diffusa. Discriminatorio non credo, perchè avrei più che volentieri inserito altri testi in Italiano, se ne avessi trovati di validi. Non ho pensato di inserire altre lingue (ci sono dei buoni testi in Francese, per esempio) per non inserire troppi testi e non creare dei doppioni su testi equivalenti. Infine, non avendo consigliato di buttare via i propri testi di letteratura Italiana (che è molto bella) in favore di quella anglosassone, ma avendo consigliato testi tecnici, credo di non essere un "fanatico intellettuale" :-)
Ciao,
Pietro.

Ma e' necessario sapere la matematica da libri in inglese. Premetto che leggo molte cose in inglese per lavoro, di tutto dalla sicurezza, lla fisica, alla matematica, ecc. Cio' mi sembra un po' selettivo e discriminatorio, soprattutto verso la grande fascia di lettori che vogliono imparare con la nostra lingua, dato che siamo in italia. Su, mettici qualche testo in italiano, ce ne sono tanti ottimi. Non sconfiniamo, almeno spero di no, nel fanatismo intellettuale.

Ecco infatti... per ora che sto studiando comunicazioni elettriche mi piacerebbe approfondire questo argomento per estenderlo alla teoria dei segnali... purtroppo mi sa che per ora devo rinunciare, prima di tutto perché non ritengo di avere il bagaglio teorico adeguato, e poi il tempo tiranno che mi manca a causa del lavoro :((( p.s. ho appena aperto il capitolo del libro di F.M. del mio docente che tratta Wavelet e analisi multi-risoluzione e sto leggendo x curiosità qualcosa, imbattendomi in cose del tipo: operatori di annichilazione e creazione, vettore vacuum, tight frame, MRA di Haar... HO CHIUSO IL LIBRO!!! Ihihihihih :P:P

@DD: si potrebbe fare un libro con tutti i tuoi consigli e commenti del forum, EY edizioni. Credo che sarebbe molto bello e molto utile. Il mio contributo potrebbe essere quello di darti una mano nella raccolta e organizzazione, non credo molto di più.
BTW, grazie a tutti ragazzi, siete fantastici!

@Lele:Grazie a te!
@Jordan20:Sì, si usano molto in Fisica Matematica, in meccanica quantistica e, più in generale, in modellistica quando si ha un variazionale tempo-frequenza del segnale. Il loro limite più grande è che sono soggette al principio di indeterminazione, scalare e vettoriale. Sono molto utili anche in analisi armonica per le alte frequenze per creare modelli di propagazione ondulatoria.
@sebago:Messere, volger lo palato allo oppressor anglofono l'è cosa dura, in particolar pella Italiana lingua, le cui gesta scienzifiche, poeticali e musiche riempirommi il cuor delle passate gesta, ma lo diniego ha come maleconseguenzia la presa in retroposizione, per li motivi già dispiegati dal poeta DD. Vi esorto dunque, o cavalier, che farete pure che domane o l'altro l'anglofon volgo se ne venga con voi a dimorare, di parer che il godimento vi accompagni nelle brave e balsame letture.

@sebago: la mia impressione è che i libri italiani, ahinoi, siano molto legati alle deprimenti vicende degli ordinamenti universitari, con il risultato che non si scrivono più libri di ampio respiro, almeno così mi sembra. Per ciò che riguarda alcuni classici russi di matematica e fisica, le edizioni Mir ne avevano proposto una traduzione italiana, ormai da ricercarsi sulle bancarelle. Però permettimi un consiglio: non chiuderti ai libri in inglese, ti perderesti dei libri straordinari! Per quel che riguarda invece un "mio" libro, devo darti una delusione: molto probabilmente non ci sarà mai ;-) Il motivo principale è che non saprei su cosa scriverlo, non sono veramente specialista di nulla. Il secondo è che per scrivere un *buon* libro ci va tempo, molto tempo, diciamo due-dieci anni, a seconda di quanto tempo uno ci può dedicare, e considerando quanto sono ondivago nelle passioni scientifiche, non me la sentirei di impegnarmi per così tanto tempo su un progetto. E per finire: bravo Pietro! :-)

All'ultimo momento mi è scappato il tasto "invia" ma volevo aggiungere: a quando un libro di Pietro Baima o di DirtyDeeds o di Carloc o di ... ? (non cito RenzoDF perché, suo dicere, è un idraulico...) Ri-ciao

Bell'elenco, Pietro. Una curiosità: ma nell'italica lingua, ad esclusione di quello di Giovanni Prodi, niente altro? Chi non è anglofono (e non ha intenzione di diventarlo, come il sottoscritto) deve dunque sottomettersi, obtorto collo, all'odiata albione? Possibile che in questa top list siano pressoché assenti i matematici italiani (ovvero: siamo dunque così scarsi a livello internazionale)? Ciao

Bellissima rassegna Pietro!!! Le wavelets e la teoria che ci sta attorno è qualcosa di molto interessante... le ho sentite nominare per la prima volta dal mio docente di Fisica Matematica che ne ha fatto qualche cenno... ed ho seguito una volta un seminario all'università in merito a questo tema (ma ho capito veramente pochissimo :PPP)
