Designed for a first course in real variables, this text presents the fundamentals for more advanced mathematical work, particularly in the areas of complex variables, measure theory, differential equations, functional analysis, and probability.
Several recent investigations have focused attention on spaces and manifolds which are non-compact but where the problems studied have some kind of "e;control near infinity"e;.
This book evaluates and suggests potentially critical improvements to causal set theory, one of the best-motivated approaches to the outstanding problems of fundamental physics.
This excellent introduction to topology eases first-year math students and general readers into the subject by surveying its concepts in a descriptive and intuitive way, attempting to build a bridge from the familiar concepts of geometry to the formalized study of topology.
This introductory volume provides the basics of surface-knots and related topics, not only for researchers in these areas but also for graduate students and researchers who are not familiar with the field.
"e;Categorical Perspectives"e; consists of introductory surveys as well as articles containing original research and complete proofs devoted mainly to the theoretical and foundational developments of category theory and its applications to other fields.
This textbook covers topics of undergraduate mathematics in abstract algebra, geometry, topology and analysis with the purpose of connecting the underpinning key ideas.
Motivated by applications in theoretical computer science, the theory of finite semigroups has emerged in recent years as an autonomous area of mathematics.
This book provides a concise introduction to topology and is necessary for courses in differential geometry, functional analysis, algebraic topology, etc.
This two-volume book collects the lectures given during the three months cycle of lectures held in Northern Italy between May and July of 2001 to commemorate Professor Bernard Dwork (1923 - 1998).
Symmetries in dynamical systems, "e;KAM theory and other perturbation theories"e;, "e;Infinite dimensional systems"e;, "e;Time series analysis"e; and "e;Numerical continuation and bifurcation analysis"e; were the main topics of the December 1995 Dynamical Systems Conference held in Groningen in honour of Johann Bernoulli.
This book provides a new, comprehensive, and self-contained account of Oka theory as an introduction to function theory of several complex variables, mainly concerned with the Three Big Problems (Approximation, Cousin, Pseudoconvexity) that were solved by Kiyoshi Oka and form the basics of the theory.
This book offers a comprehensive introduction by three of the leading experts in the field, collecting fundamental results and open problems in a single volume.
