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.

This book aims to present to first and second year graduate students a beautiful and relatively accessible field of mathematics-the theory of singu- larities of stable differentiable mappings.

At the present time, the average undergraduate mathematics major finds mathematics heavily compartmentalized.

Nature is full of spidery patterns: lightning bolts, coastlines, nerve cells, termite tunnels, bacteria cultures, root systems, forest fires, soil cracking, river deltas, galactic distributions, mountain ranges, tidal patterns, cloud shapes, sequencing of nucleotides in DNA, cauliflower, broccoli, lungs, kidneys, the scraggly nerve cells that carry signals to and from your brain, the branching arteries and veins that make up your circulatory system.

This book was written to make learning introductory algebraic geometry as easy as possible.

Experience gained during a ten-year long involvement in modelling, program- ming and application in nonlinear optimization helped me to arrive at the conclusion that in the interest of having successful applications and efficient software production, knowing the structure of the problem to be solved is in- dispensable.

VII Preface In many fields of mathematics, geometry has established itself as a fruitful method and common language for describing basic phenomena and problems as well as suggesting ways of solutions.

This book provides an upto date information on metric, connection and curva- ture symmetries used in geometry and physics.

Since their invention in the late seventies, public key cryptosystems have become an indispensable asset in establishing private and secure electronic communication, and this need, given the tremendous growth of the Internet, is likely to continue growing.

This is a self-contained introduction to algebraic curves over finite fields and geometric Goppa codes.

Mixing may be thought of as the operation by which a system evolves from one state of simplicity (initial segregation) to another state of simplicity (complete uniformity).

Transportation problems belong to the domains mathematical program- ming and operations research.

Global optimization is one of the fastest developing fields in mathematical optimization.

Convexity of sets in linear spaces, and concavity and convexity of functions, lie at the root of beautiful theoretical results that are at the same time extremely useful in the analysis and solution of optimization problems, including problems of either single objective or multiple objectives.

This book contains the proceedings of the workshop Uncertainty in Geomet- ric Computations that was held in Sheffield, England, July 5-6, 2001.
