This book seeks to explore the history of descriptive geometry in relation to its circulation in the 19th century, which had been favoured by the transfers of the model of the Ecole Polytechnique to other countries.
The contributions in this volume-dedicated to the work and mathematical interests of Oleg Viro on the occasion of his 60th birthday-are invited papers from the Marcus Wallenberg symposium and focus on research topics that bridge the gap among analysis, geometry, and topology.
This book introduces the theory of complex surfaces through a comprehensive look at finite covers of the projective plane branched along line arrangements.
Over the field of real numbers, analytic geometry has long been in deep interaction with algebraic geometry, bringing the latter subject many of its topological insights.
