This book gives an outline of the developments of differential geometry and topology in the twentieth century, especially those which will be closely related to new discoveries in theoretical physics.
A new foundation of Topology, summarized under the name Convenient Topology, is considered such that several deficiencies of topological and uniform spaces are remedied.
This proceedings volume can be considered as a monograph on the state-of-the-art in the wide range of analysis on infinite-dimensional algebraic-topological structures.
This book delivers stimulating input for a broad range of researchers, from geographers and ecologists to psychologists interested in spatial perception and physicists researching in complex systems.
"e;Descriptive Topology in Selected Topics of Functional Analysis"e; is a collection of recent developments in the field of descriptive topology, specifically focused on the classes of infinite-dimensional topological vector spaces that appear in functional analysis.
In recent times it has been stated that many dynamical systems of classical mathematical physics and mechanics are endowed with symplectic structures, given in the majority of cases by Poisson brackets.
In this thesis, the author develops numerical techniques for tracking and characterising the convoluted nodal lines in three-dimensional space, analysing their geometry on the small scale, as well as their global fractality and topological complexity---including knotting---on the large scale.
This book introduces path-breaking applications of concepts from mathematical topology to music-theory topics including harmony, chord progressions, rhythm, and music classification.
This book is a course in general topology, intended for students in the first year of the second cycle (in other words, students in their third univer- sity year).
The hexaflexagon is a folded paper strip of colored triangles that has long delighted people with how it "e;magically"e; changes its appearance when "e;flexed"e;.
This book highlights the latest advances in algebraic topology, from homotopy theory, braid groups, configuration spaces and toric topology, to transformation groups and the adjoining area of knot theory.
The second edition of this book updates and expands upon a historically important collection of mathematical problems first published in the United States by Birkhauser in 1981.
Quantum cohomology has its origins in symplectic geometry and algebraic geometry, but is deeply related to differential equations and integrable systems.
This collection of peer-reviewed workshop papers provides comprehensive coverage of cutting-edge research into topological approaches to data analysis and visualization.
From the reviews: "e;This is a very interesting book containing material for a comprehensive study of the cyclid homological theory of algebras, cyclic sets and S1-spaces.
Algebraic Topology is an introductory textbook based on a class for advanced high-school students at the Stanford University Mathematics Camp (SUMaC) that the authors have taught for many years.
Held during algebraic topology special sessions at the Vietnam Institute for Advanced Studies in Mathematics (VIASM, Hanoi), this set of notes consists of expanded versions of three courses given by G.
