One of the most intriguing problems of modern number theory is to relate the arithmetic of abelian varieties to the special values of associated L-functions.
Today, certain computer software systems exist which surpass the computational ability of researchers when their mathematical techniques are applied to many areas of science and engineering.
Algebraic specification, nondeterminism and term rewriting are three active research areas aiming at concepts for the abstract description of software systems: Algebraic specifications are well-suited for describing data structures and sequential software systems in an abstract way.
The purpose of this monograph is to provide a concise introduction to the theory of generalized inverses of matrices that is accessible to undergraduate mathematics majors.
Quadratic Algebras, Clifford Algebras, and Arithmetic Forms introduces mathematicians to the large and dynamic area of algebras and forms over commutative rings.
Linear chain substances span a large cross section of contemporary chemis- try ranging from covalent polymers, organic charge transfer complexes to nonstoichiometric transition metal coordination complexes.
This volume contains five review articles, two in the Algebra part and three in the Geometry part, surveying the fields of cate- gories and class field theory, in the Algebra part, and of Finsler spaces, structures on differentiable manifolds, and packing, cover- ing, etc.
In the second edition of this popular and successful text the number of exercises has been drastically increased (to a minimum of 25 per chapter); also a new chapter on the Jordan normal form has been added.
In this presentation of the Galois correspondence, modem theories of groups and fields are used to study problems, some of which date back to the ancient Greeks.
Building on rudimentary knowledge of real analysis, point-set topology, and basic algebra, Basic Algebraic Topology provides plenty of material for a two-semester course in algebraic topology.
Emphasizing active learning, this text not only teaches abstract algebra but also provides a deeper understanding of what mathematics is, how it is done, and how mathematicians think.
With a substantial amount of new material, the Handbook of Linear Algebra, Second Edition provides comprehensive coverage of linear algebra concepts, applications, and computational software packages in an easy-to-use format.
This proceedings volume documents the contributions presented at the CONIAPS XXVII International Conference on Recent Advances in Pure and Applied Algebra.
Clifford algebras are at a crossing point in a variety of research areas, including abstract algebra, crystallography, projective geometry, quantum mechanics, differential geometry and analysis.
There is at present a growing body of opinion that in the decades ahead discrete mathematics (that is, "e;noncontinuous mathematics"e;), and therefore parts of applicable modern algebra, will be of increasing importance.
Line and hyperplane location problems play an important role not only in operations research and location theory, but also in computational geometry and robust statistics.
This textbook is distinguished from other texts on the subject by the depth of the presentation and the discussion of the calculus of moving surfaces, which is an extension of tensor calculus to deforming manifolds.
By focusing on quadratic numbers, this advanced undergraduate or master's level textbook on algebraic number theory is accessible even to students who have yet to learn Galois theory.
