Providing an overview of the state of the art on rationality questions in algebraic geometry, this volume gives an update on the most recent developments.

Serge Lang was an iconic figure in mathematics, both for his own important work and for the indelible impact he left on the field of mathematics, on his students, and on his colleagues.

An Illustrated Introduction to Topology and Homotopy explores the beauty of topology and homotopy theory in a direct and engaging manner while illustrating the power of the theory through many, often surprising, applications.

This book discusses the importance of flag varieties in geometric objects and elucidates its richness as interplay of geometry, combinatorics and representation theory.

First published in 1987, the seven chapters that comprise this book review contemporary work on the geometric side of robotics.

REFLECTIONS ON SPACETIME - FOUNDATIONS, PHILOSOPHY AND HISTORY During the academic year 1992/93, an interdisciplinary research group constituted itself at the Zentrum fUr interdisziplinare Forschung (ZiF) in Bielefeld, Germany, under the title 'Semantical Aspects of Spacetime Theories', in which philosophers and physicists worked on topics in the interpretation and history of relativity theory.

This textbook covers topics of undergraduate mathematics in abstract algebra, geometry, topology and analysis with the purpose of connecting the underpinning key ideas.

This book focuses on origami from the point of view of computer science.

A unique presentation of modern geometric methods in quantum field theory for researchers and graduate students in mathematics and physics.

This engaging review guide and workbook is the ideal tool for sharpening your Trigonometry skills!

This easy-to-read introduction takes the reader from elementary problems through to current research.

Motivated by applications in theoretical computer science, the theory of finite semigroups has emerged in recent years as an autonomous area of mathematics.

Starting in 1996, a sequence of articles appeared in the Journal of Nonlinear Science dedicated to the memory of one of its original editors, Juan-Carlos Simo, Applied Me- chanics, Stanford University.

This revised edition is made up of two parts: theory and applications.

The present volume contains invited talks of 11th biennial conference on "e;Emerging Mathematical Methods, Models and Algorithms for Science and Technology"e;.

Foliation theory has its origins in the global analysis of solutions of ordinary differential equations: on an n-dimensional manifold M, an [autonomous] differential equation is defined by a vector field X ; if this vector field has no singularities, then its trajectories form a par- tition of M into curves, i.

This book introduces the reader to basic notions of integrable techniques for one-dimensional quantum systems.

Practice makes perfect!

Although research in curve shortening flow has been very active for nearly 20 years, the results of those efforts have remained scattered throughout the literature.
