Originally written in Russian and used in the Gelfand Correspondence School, "e;Lines and Curves"e; has since become a classic: the exposition maintains mathematical rigor while balancing creative storytelling and unusual examples of geometric properties.
The most recent methods in various branches of lattice path and enumerative combinatorics along with relevant applications are nicely grouped together and represented in this research contributed volume.
DeMYSTiFieD is your solution for tricky subjects like trigonometryIf you think a Cartesian coordinate is something from science fiction or a hyperbolic tangent is an extreme exaggeration, you need Trigonometry DeMYSTiFieD, Second Edition, to unravel this topic's fundamental concepts and theories at your own pace.
The book, based on the INdAM Workshop "e;Approximation Theory and Numerical Analysis Meet Algebra, Geometry, Topology"e; provides a bridge between different communities of mathematicians who utilize splines in their work.
The Hardy-Littlewood circle method was invented over a century ago to study integer solutions to special Diophantine equations, but it has since proven to be one of the most successful all-purpose tools available to number theorists.
A gentle introduction to the geometry of convex sets in n-dimensional spaceGeometry of Convex Sets begins with basic definitions of the concepts of vector addition and scalar multiplication and then defines the notion of convexity for subsets of n-dimensional space.
Geometric algebra (a Clifford Algebra) has been applied to different branches of physics for a long time but is now being adopted by the computer graphics community and is providing exciting new ways of solving 3D geometric problems.
Interest in the study of geometry is currently enjoying a resurgence-understandably so, as the study of curves was once the playground of some very great mathematicians.
This Lecture Notes volume is the fruit of two research-level summer schools jointly organized by the GTEM node at Lille University and the team of Galatasaray University (Istanbul): "e;Geometry and Arithmetic of Moduli Spaces of Coverings (2008)"e; and "e;Geometry and Arithmetic around Galois Theory (2009)"e;.
This book arose from a conference on "e;Singularities and Computer Algebra"e; which was held at the Pfalz-Akademie Lambrecht in June 2015 in honor of Gert-Martin Greuel's 70th birthday.
Using an elegant mixture of geometry, graph theory and linear analysis, this monograph completely solves a problem lying at the interface of Isogeometric Analysis (IgA) and Finite Element Methods (FEM).
Over the course of the last century, the systematic exploration of the relationship between Fourier analysis and other branches of mathematics has lead to important advances in geometry, number theory, and analysis, stimulated in part by Hurwitz's proof of the isoperimetric inequality using Fourier series.
This book covers recent advances in several important areas of geometric analysis including extremal eigenvalue problems, mini-max methods in minimal surfaces, CR geometry in dimension three, and the Ricci flow and Ricci limit spaces.
