by Rainer Kress (Author)This volume is intended as an introduction into numerical analysis for students in mathematics, physics, and engineering. Instead of attempting to exhaustively cover all parts of numerical analysis, the goal is to guide the reader towards the basic ideas and general principles by way of considering main and important numerical algorithms. Given the rapid development of numerical methods, a reasonable introduction to numerical analysis has to confine itself to presentin...

$89.08

by George E. Martin (Author)This is a text on geometric constructions--a popular area of mathematics since the time of Plato to the modern classroom. The author takes advantage of modern algebra and the resultant coordinate geometry to analyze and classify these problems. Various geometric construction tools are associated with various algebraic fields of numbers and elements of algebra are necessarily encountered while exploring the constructions.

$129.53

by Rajendra Bhatia (Author)A good part of matrix theory is functional analytic in spirit. This statement can be turned around. There are many problems in operator theory, where most of the complexities and subtleties are present in the finite-dimensional case. My purpose in writing this book is to present a systematic treatment of methods that are useful in the study of such problems. This book is intended for use as a text for upper division and gradu- ate courses. Courses based on parts of ...

Introduction to Arakelov Theory - Paperback

$194.38

by Serge Lang (Author)Arakelov introduced a component at infinity in arithmetic considerations, thus giving rise to global theorems similar to those of the theory of surfaces, but in an arithmetic context over the ring of integers of a number field. The book gives an introduction to this theory, including the analogues of the Hodge Index Theorem, the Arakelov adjunction formula, and the Faltings Riemann-Roch theorem. The book is intended for second year graduate students and researchers in th...

Differential Geometry: Manifolds, Curves, and Surfaces: Manifolds, Curves, and Surfaces - Paperback

$113.38

by Marcel Berger (Author), Silvio Levy (Translator), Bernard Gostiaux (Author)This book consists of two parts, different in form but similar in spirit. The first, which comprises chapters 0 through 9, is a revised and somewhat enlarged version of the 1972 book Geometrie Differentielle. The second part, chapters 10 and 11, is an attempt to remedy the notorious absence in the original book of any treatment of surfaces in three-space, an omission all the more unforgivable in that surfaces are so...

What Is Random?: Chance and Order in Mathematics and Life - Paperback

$19.42

by Edward Beltrami (Author)Order is an illusion, the quantum theorists tell us; at bottom the world is ruled by quantum indeterminacy. Yet randomness is also an illusion: the appearance of randomness is only a sign of ignorance, of our inability to detect the pattern. Does randomness really exist? In this wonderfully thought-provoking little book, mathematician Ed Beltrami shows how order and randomness are really two sides of the same mysterious coin. Number of Pages: 201 Dimensions: 0.51 x ...

Introduction to Mathematical Structures and Proofs - Hardcover

$97.13

by Larry J. Gerstein (Author)"...Gerstein wants-very gently-to teach his students to think. He wants to show them how to wrestle with a problem (one that is more sophisticated than "plug and chug"), how to build a solution, and ultimately he wants to teach the students to take a statement and develop a way to prove it...Gerstein writes with a certain flair that I think students will find appealing. For instance, after his discussion of cardinals he has a section entitled Languages and Finite ...

$89.08

by Rolf Socher-Ambrosius (Author), Patricia Johann (Author)The idea of mechanizing deductive reasoning can be traced all the way back to Leibniz, who proposed the development of a rational calculus for this purpose. But it was not until the appearance of Frege's 1879 Begriffsschrift-"not only the direct ancestor of contemporary systems of mathematical logic, but also the ancestor of all formal languages, including computer programming languages" ([Dav83])-that the fundamental concepts of mode...
