Questo (Robert B. Banks, <em>Towing Icebergs, Falling Dominoes, and Other Adventures in Applied Mathematics<\/em>, Princeton University Press 1998, pag. 328, ISBN 9780691059488) non \u00e8 un libro di matematica ricreativa. Avrei anche qualche dubbio a definirlo un libro di divulgazione matematica. Lo \u00e8 nel senso che dimostra come la si pu\u00f2 usare per calcolare cosa succede nelle circostanze che possono o no capitare nella vita di tutti i giorni: perch\u00e9 un bravo golfista riesce a colpire una pallina e farla inizialmente salire con una parabola diretta verso l&#8217;alto, o cosa bisognerebbe fare per portare degli iceberg fino a San Francisco per aumentare la dotazione d&#8217;acqua potabile. Per\u00f2 il libro \u00e8 pi\u00f9 che altro una specie di testo ausiliario per un corso universitario: gli esempi portano sempre (&#8220;naturalmente&#8221;&#8230;) a equazioni differenziali se non addirittura integro-differenziali che non sono certo alla portata di tutti. Insomma, i casi sono due: o vi mettete a rifare tutti i conti e svolgere gli esercizi, oppure fate come me e gli date solo una scorsa fidandovi dei risultati e imparando parecchie curiosit\u00e0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pi\u00f9 che altro un testo di
