Cambridge University Press Rectifiability
Book SynopsisRectifiable sets, measures, currents and varifolds are foundational concepts in geometric measure theory. The last four decades have seen the emergence of a wealth of connections between rectifiability and other areas of analysis and geometry, including deep links with the calculus of variations and complex and harmonic analysis. This short book provides an easily digestible overview of this wide and active field, including discussions of historical background, the basic theory in Euclidean and non-Euclidean settings, and the appearance of rectifiability in analysis and geometry. The author avoids complicated technical arguments and long proofs, instead giving the reader a flavour of each of the topics in turn while providing full references to the wider literature in an extensive bibliography. It is a perfect introduction to the area for researchers and graduate students, who will find much inspiration for their own research inside.Table of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Preliminaries; 2. Rectifiable curves; 3. One-dimensional rectifiable sets; 4. Higher dimensional rectifiable sets; 5. Uniform rectifiability; 6. Rectifiability of measures; 7. Rectifiable sets in metric spaces; 8.

Cambridge University Press Numbers and Functions
Book SynopsisIn this updated edition of Numbers and Functions, the reader is invited to tackle each of the key concepts of mathematical analysis in turn, progressing from experience through a structured sequence of over 800 problems to concepts, definitions and proofs of classical real analysis.Trade Review'This third edition of Numbers and Functions continues the author's long-term commitment to support every reader in making sense of mathematics by responding to a succession of well-chosen questions that encourage personal reflection and discussion with others. Groups of questions are followed by a summary to build the bigger picture. Every chapter includes details of the historical development and ends with a full list of solutions. The author is aware of the difficulties that students encounter with the complexity of the limit concept and begins with a pragmatic approach to null sequences. This broadens into a full study of limits of sequences, completeness, and a full range of tests for convergence of infinite series … This latest edition maintains the original chapters of the original, while benefiting from detailed improvements that have arisen from the experience of many readers.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Global Dynamics
Book SynopsisA world model: economies, trade, migration, security and development aid. This bookprovides the analytical capability to understand and explore the dynamics of globalisation. It is anchored in economic input-output models of over 200 countries and their relationships through trade, migration, security and development aid. The tools of complexity science are brought to bear and mathematical and computer models are developed both for the elements and for an integrated whole. Models are developed at a variety of scales ranging from the global and international trade through a European model of inter-sub-regional migration to piracy in the Gulf and the London riots of 2011. The models embrace the changing technology of international shipping, the impacts of migration on economic development along with changing patterns of military expenditure and development aid. A unique contribution is the level of spatial disaggregation which presents each of 200+ countries and their muTable of ContentsNotes on Contributors xiii Acknowledgements xvii Part I GLOBAL DYNAMICS AND THE TOOLS OF COMPLEXITY SCIENCE 1 Global Dynamics and the Tools of Complexity Science 3Alan Wilson Reference 7 Part II TRADE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 2 The Global Trade System and Its Evolution 11Simone Caschili and Francesca Medda 2.1 The Evolution of the Shipping and Ports’ System 11 2.2 Analyses of the Cargo Ship Network 12 2.3 A Complex Adaptive Systems (CASs) Perspective 15 2.4 Conclusions: The Benefits of a Systems Perspective 20 References 21 Appendix 23 A.1 Complexity Science and Complex Adaptive Systems: Key Characteristics 23 A.1.1 Four Properties 24 A.1.2 Three Mechanisms 25 3 An Interdependent Multi-layer Model for Trade 26Simone Caschili, Francesca Medda, and Alan Wilson 3.1 Introduction 26 3.2 The Interdependent Multi-layer Model: Vertical Integration 27 3.3 Model Layers 30 3.3.1 Economic Layer 30 3.3.2 Social and Cultural Layer (Socio-cultural) 33 3.3.3 Physical Layer 34 3.4 The Workings of the Model 34 3.5 Model Calibration 35 3.6 Result 1: Steady State 39 3.7 Result 2: Estimation and Propagation of Shocks in the IMM 42 3.8 Discussion and Conclusions 48 References 48 4 A Global Inter-country Economic Model Based on Linked Input–Output Models 51Robert G.

Nova Science Publishers Inc From Chaos to Complexity Science. 20 Years of
Book SynopsisThis book is dedicated to the first ten years of Chaos and Complexity Letters - International Journal of Dynamical Systems Research. This journal was born to collect and disseminate complexity science related information to anybody interested in the topic; to speed up the evolutionary development of complexity science; to extend its interactions crossing over disciplines, levels of knowledge and geography; and to foster finding new pathways in research and new applications. The structure of CCL was specifically designed to add value to the trans-disciplinary approach while, at the same time, differentiating the epistemology of different contributions. In this enterprise we were sustained and inspired by two great companions that in different ways shared our project during its prehistory: Ilya Prigogine and Francisco Varela. This book collects 16 papers appeared on the first ten volumes of Chaos and Complexity Letters. They range from the life sciences, to STEM and economy, in accordance with the interdisciplinary mission of the journal. A special highlight starts with Acceleration and entropy: a macroscopic analogue of the twin paradox, possibly the last paper written by the Nobel Prize Ilya Prigogine with Gonzalo Ordonez. Important academic specialists who wrote in our scientific journal passed away. For example, Walter Freeman, Tullio Minelli, Ilya Prigogine, and Joseph P. Zbilut. This special issue is also dedicated to them. We are in opinion that their trajectories in life and research designed some contours of the shape of a new science to come.Table of ContentsPreface; Introduction; Acceleration and Entropy: A Macroscopic Analogue of the Twin Paradox; William James on Consciousness, Revisited; The Structural Equations Technique for Testing Hypotheses in Nonlinear Dynamics: Catastrophes, Chaos and Related Dynamics; Dynamical Prediction of Chaotic Time Series; Synchronization of Oscillators in Complex Networks; Contribution to the Debate on Linear and Nonlinear Analysis of the Electroencephalogram; Detection of Transient Synchronization in Multivariate Brain Signals Application to Event-Related Potentials; Brief Note on Recurrence Quantification Analysis of Bipolar Disorder Performed by Using a Van Der Pol Oscillator Model; Complex Dynamics of Visual Arts; Noninvertible Maps and Complex Basin Boundaries in Dynamic Economic Models with Coexisting Attractors; Adaptive Synchronization of Two Different Uncertain Chaotic Systems; Ex-tended Prigogine Theorem: Method for Universal Characterization of Complex System Evolution; A Beginners Guide to the Nature and Potentialities of Dynamical and Network Theory, Part I: A Very Very Brief Visual Introduction to the Theory of Dynamical Sys-tems; A Simple Model of Intermittent Chaos; Synchronization of Fractals in Logarithmic Spirals; Chaos in Returns and Volatilities of the London Gold Fix; Index.

Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics,U.S. Mastering Frequency Domain Techniques for the
Book SynopsisIn many dynamical systems, time delays arise because of the time it takes to measure system states, perceive and evaluate events, formulate decisions, and act on those decisions. The presence of delays may lead to undesirable outcomes; without an engineered design, the dynamics may underperform, oscillate, and even become unstable. How to study the stability of dynamical systems influenced by time delays is a fundamental question. Related issues include how much time delay the system can withstand without becoming unstable and how to change system parameters to render improved dynamic characteristics, utilize or tune the delay itself to improve dynamical behavior, and assess the stability and speed of response of the dynamics. Mastering Frequency Domain Techniques for the Stability Analysis of LTI Time Delay Systems addresses these questions for linear time-invariant (LTI) systems with an eigenvalue-based approach built upon frequency domain techniques. Readers will find key results from the literature, including all subtopics for those interested in deeper exploration. The book presents step-by-step demonstrations of all implementations—including those that require special care in mathematics and numerical implementation—from the simpler, more intuitive ones in the introductory chapters to the more complex ones found in the later chapters. Maple and MATLAB code is available from the author’s website.This multipurpose book is intended for graduate students, instructors, and researchers working in control engineering, robotics, mechatronics, network control systems, human-in-the-loop systems, human-machine systems, remote control and tele-operation, transportation systems, energy systems, and process control, as well as for those working in applied mathematics, systems biology, and physics. It can be used as a primary text in courses on stability and control of time delay systems and as a supplementary text in courses in the above listed domains.

Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics,U.S. The Theory of Composites
Book SynopsisComposites have been studied for more than 150 years, and interest in their properties has been growing. This classic volume provides the foundations for understanding a broad range of composite properties, including electrical, magnetic, electromagnetic, elastic and viscoelastic, piezoelectric, thermal, fluid flow through porous materials, thermoelectric, pyroelectric, magnetoelectric, and conduction in the presence of a magnetic field (Hall effect). Exact solutions of the PDEs in model geometries provide one avenue of understanding composites; other avenues include microstructure-independent exact relations satisfied by effective moduli, for which the general theory is reviewed; approximation formulae for effective moduli; and series expansions for the fields and effective moduli that are the basis of numerical methods for computing these fields and moduli. The range of properties that composites can exhibit can be explored either through the model geometries or through microstructure-independent bounds on the properties. These bounds are obtained through variational principles, analytic methods, and Hilbert space approaches. Most interesting is when the properties of the composite are unlike those of the constituent materials, and there has been an explosion of interest in such composites, now known as metamaterials. The Theory of Composites surveys these aspects, among others, and complements the new body of literature that has emerged since the book was written. It remains relevant today by providing historical background, a compendium of numerous results, and through elucidating many of the tools still used today in the analysis of composite properties. This book is intended for applied mathematicians, physicists, and electrical and mechanical engineers. It will also be of interest to graduate students.

World Scientific Europe Ltd Conformal Maps And Geometry
Book Synopsis'I very much enjoyed reading this book … Each chapter comes with well thought-out exercises, solutions to which are given at the end of the chapter. Conformal Maps and Geometry presents key topics in geometric function theory and the theory of univalent functions, and also prepares the reader to progress to study the SLE. It succeeds admirably on both counts.'MathSciNetGeometric function theory is one of the most interesting parts of complex analysis, an area that has become increasingly relevant as a key feature in the theory of Schramm-Loewner evolution.Though Riemann mapping theorem is frequently explored, there are few texts that discuss general theory of univalent maps, conformal invariants, and Loewner evolution. This textbook provides an accessible foundation of the theory of conformal maps and their connections with geometry.It offers a unique view of the field, as it is one of the first to discuss general theory of univalent maps at a graduate level, while introducing more complex theories of conformal invariants and extremal lengths. Conformal Maps and Geometry is an ideal resource for graduate courses in Complex Analysis or as an analytic prerequisite to study the theory of Schramm-Loewner evolution.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Bureaucracy, Collegiality and Social Change:
Book SynopsisThis insightful book theorizes the contrast between two logics of organization: bureaucracy and collegiality. Based on this theory and employing a new methodology to transform our sociological understanding, Emmanuel Lazega sheds light on complex organizational phenomena that impact markets, political economy, and social stratification. Lazega focuses on how organizations use and combine logics of bureaucracy and collegiality, deploying and developing the analysis of multilevel networks to explore how these logics coalesce and interact in organizational settings and stratigraphies. Revisiting sociological knowledge on various phenomena, such as coopetition in science, markets and government, the creation of new institutions in political economy and elite self-segregation, this book advances our perception of the changes introduced in the contemporary 'science of organizations' by the digitalization of society. Offering new theoretical insights into organizations, this book is crucial for sociologists of organizations and management scholars, as well as postgraduate students, in search of an innovative understanding of the trajectories of contemporary organizations. The analysis of multilevel networks will also benefit practitioners and analysts working in the field.Trade Review‘The text provides a fascinating and insightful look into the complexity of organizations.’ -- Cindy L Davis, International Social Science ReviewTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Imperial College Press Instabilities, Chaos And Turbulence (2nd Edition)
Book SynopsisThis book (2nd edition) is a self-contained introduction to a wide body of knowledge on nonlinear dynamics and chaos. Manneville emphasises the understanding of basic concepts and the nontrivial character of nonlinear response, contrasting it with the intuitively simple linear response. He explains the theoretical framework using pedagogical examples from fluid dynamics, though prior knowledge of this field is not required. Heuristic arguments and worked examples replace most esoteric technicalities. Only basic understanding of mathematics and physics is required, at the level of what is currently known after one or two years of undergraduate training: elementary calculus, basic notions of linear algebra and ordinary differential calculus, and a few fundamental physical equations (specific complements are provided when necessary). Methods presented are of fully general use, which opens up ample windows on topics of contemporary interest. These include complex dynamical processes such as patterning, chaos control, mixing, and even the Earth's climate. Numerical simulations are proposed as a means to obtain deeper understanding of the intricacies induced by nonlinearities in our everyday environment, with hints on adapted modelling strategies and their implementation.Table of ContentsIntroduction and Overview; First Steps in Nonlinear Dynamics; Life and Death of Dissipative Structures; Nonlinear Dynamics: From Simple to Complex; Applications of the Chaos Concept; Nonlinear Dynamics of Patterns; Open Flows; Instability and Transition; Developed Turbulence; Summary and Perspectives.

Imperial College Press Local Activity Principle: The Cause Of Complexity
Book SynopsisThe principle of local activity explains the emergence of complex patterns in a homogeneous medium. At first defined in the theory of nonlinear electronic circuits in a mathematically rigorous way, it can be generalized and proven at least for the class of nonlinear reaction-diffusion systems in physics, chemistry, biology, and brain research. Recently, it was realized by memristors for nanoelectronic device applications. In general, the emergence of complex patterns and structures is explained by symmetry breaking in homogeneous media, which is caused by local activity. This book argues that the principle of local activity is really fundamental in science, and can even be identified in quantum cosmology as symmetry breaking of local gauge symmetries generating the complexity of matter and forces in our universe. Applications are considered in economic, financial, and social systems with the emergence of equilibrium states, symmetry breaking at critical points of phase transitions and risky acting at the edge of chaos.Table of ContentsThe Local Activity Principle and the Emergence of Complexity; Local Activity and Edge of Chaos in Computer Visualization; The Local Activity Principle and the Expansion of the Universe; The Local Activity Principle and the Dynamics of Matter; The Local Activity Principle and the Evolution of Life; The Local Activity Principle and the Co-evolution of Technology; The Local Activity Principle and Innovation in the Economy and Society; The Message of the Local Activity Principle.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Clifford Analysis and Related Topics: In Honor of
Book SynopsisThis book, intended to commemorate the work of Paul Dirac, highlights new developments in the main directions of Clifford analysis. Just as complex analysis is based on the algebra of the complex numbers, Clifford analysis is based on the geometric Clifford algebras. Many methods and theorems from complex analysis generalize to higher dimensions in various ways. However, many new features emerge in the process, and much of this work is still in its infancy. Some of the leading mathematicians working in this field have contributed to this book in conjunction with “Clifford Analysis and Related Topics: a conference in honor of Paul A.M. Dirac,” which was held at Florida State University, Tallahassee, on December 15-17, 2014. The content reflects talks given at the conference, as well as contributions from mathematicians who were invited but were unable to attend. Hence much of the mathematics presented here is not only highly topical, but also cannot be found elsewhere in print. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to mathematicians and physicists working in these areas, as well as students seeking to catch up on the latest developments.Table of ContentsBallenger-Fazzone, K. and Nolder, C.

Book SynopsisThis textbook provides a gentle introduction to intersection homology and perverse sheaves, where concrete examples and geometric applications motivate concepts throughout. By giving a taste of the main ideas in the field, the author welcomes new readers to this exciting area at the crossroads of topology, algebraic geometry, analysis, and differential equations. Those looking to delve further into the abstract theory will find ample references to facilitate navigation of both classic and recent literature. Beginning with an introduction to intersection homology from a geometric and topological viewpoint, the text goes on to develop the sheaf-theoretical perspective. Then algebraic geometry comes to the fore: a brief discussion of constructibility opens onto an in-depth exploration of perverse sheaves. Highlights from the following chapters include a detailed account of the proof of the Beilinson–Bernstein–Deligne–Gabber (BBDG) decomposition theorem, applications of perverse sheaves to hypersurface singularities, and a discussion of Hodge-theoretic aspects of intersection homology via Saito’s deep theory of mixed Hodge modules. An epilogue offers a succinct summary of the literature surrounding some recent applications.Intersection Homology & Perverse Sheaves is suitable for graduate students with a basic background in topology and algebraic geometry. By building context and familiarity with examples, the text offers an ideal starting point for those entering the field.

Springer International Publishing AG Analysis and Quantum Groups
Book SynopsisThis volume presents a completely self-contained introduction to the elaborate theory of locally compact quantum groups, bringing the reader to the frontiers of present-day research. The exposition includes a substantial amount of material on functional analysis and operator algebras, subjects which in themselves have become increasingly important with the advent of quantum information theory. In particular, the rather unfamiliar modular theory of weights plays a crucial role in the theory, due to the presence of ‘Haar integrals’ on locally compact quantum groups, and is thus treated quite extensively The topics covered are developed independently, and each can serve either as a separate course in its own right or as part of a broader course on locally compact quantum groups. The second part of the book covers crossed products of coactions, their relation to subfactors and other types of natural products such as cocycle bicrossed products, quantum doubles and doublecrossed products. Induced corepresentations, Galois objects and deformations of coactions by cocycles are also treated. Each section is followed by a generous supply of exercises. To complete the book, an appendix is provided on topology, measure theory and complex function theory.Table of ContentsPreface.- Set theoretic preliminaries.- Banach spaces.- Bases in Banach spaces.- Operators on Hilbert spaces.- Spectral theory.- States and representations.- Types of von Neumann algebras.- Tensor products.- Unbounded operators.- Tomita-Takesaki theory.- Spectra and type III factors.- Quantum groups and duality.- Special cases.- Classical crossed products.- Crossed products for quantum groups.- Generalized and continuous crossed products.- Basic construction and quantum groups.- Galois objects and cocycle deformations.- Doublecrossed products of quantum groups.- Induction.-Appendix.- Bibliography.- Index.- Exercises.

Springer International Publishing AG Decomposition of Jacobians by Prym Varieties
Book SynopsisThis monograph studies decompositions of the Jacobian of a smooth projective curve, induced by the action of a finite group, into a product of abelian subvarieties. The authors give a general theorem on how to decompose the Jacobian which works in many cases and apply it for several groups, as for groups of small order and some series of groups. In many cases, these components are given by Prym varieties of pairs of subcovers. As a consequence, new proofs are obtained for the classical bigonal and trigonal constructions which have the advantage to generalize to more general situations. Several isogenies between Prym varieties also result.Trade Review“The book is very well written, and gives a number of results, and of examples, interesting in some fields of Algebraic Geometry, specially those concerning algebraic curves, or equivalently, Riemann surfaces.

Springer International Publishing AG Algebraic Curves and Riemann Surfaces for
Book SynopsisThe theory relating algebraic curves and Riemann surfaces exhibits the unity of mathematics: topology, complex analysis, algebra and geometry all interact in a deep way. This textbook offers an elementary introduction to this beautiful theory for an undergraduate audience. At the heart of the subject is the theory of elliptic functions and elliptic curves. A complex torus (or “donut”) is both an abelian group and a Riemann surface. It is obtained by identifying points on the complex plane. At the same time, it can be viewed as a complex algebraic curve, with addition of points given by a geometric “chord-and-tangent” method. This book carefully develops all of the tools necessary to make sense of this isomorphism. The exposition is kept as elementary as possible and frequently draws on familiar notions in calculus and algebra to motivate new concepts. Based on a capstone course given to senior undergraduates, this book is intended as a textbook for courses at this level and includes a large number of class-tested exercises.

Springer International Publishing AG Birational Geometry, Kähler–Einstein Metrics and
Book SynopsisThis book collects the proceedings of a series of conferences dedicated to birational geometry of Fano varieties held in Moscow, Shanghai and PohangThe conferences were focused on the following two related problems:• existence of Kähler–Einstein metrics on Fano varieties• degenerations of Fano varietieson which two famous conjectures were recently proved. The first is the famous Borisov–Alexeev–Borisov Conjecture on the boundedness of Fano varieties, proved by Caucher Birkar (for which he was awarded the Fields medal in 2018), and the second one is the (arguably even more famous) Tian–Yau–Donaldson Conjecture on the existence of Kähler–Einstein metrics on (smooth) Fano varieties and K-stability, which was proved by Xiuxiong Chen, Sir Simon Donaldson and Song Sun. The solutions for these longstanding conjectures have opened new directions in birational and Kähler geometries. These research directions generated new interesting mathematical problems, attracting the attention of mathematicians worldwide.These conferences brought together top researchers in both fields (birational geometry and complex geometry) to solve some of these problems and understand the relations between them. The result of this activity is collected in this book, which contains contributions by sixty nine mathematicians, who contributed forty three research and survey papers to this volume. Many of them were participants of the Moscow–Shanghai–Pohang conferences, while the others helped to expand the research breadth of the volume—the diversity of their contributions reflects the vitality of modern Algebraic Geometry.Table of ContentsT.

Springer International Publishing AG Abelian Varieties over the Complex Numbers: A
Book SynopsisThis textbook offers an introduction to abelian varieties, a rich topic of central importance to algebraic geometry. The emphasis is on geometric constructions over the complex numbers, notably the construction of important classes of abelian varieties and their algebraic cycles.The book begins with complex tori and their line bundles (theta functions), naturally leading to the definition of abelian varieties. After establishing basic properties, the moduli space of abelian varieties is introduced and studied. The next chapters are devoted to the study of the main examples of abelian varieties: Jacobian varieties, abelian surfaces, Albanese and Picard varieties, Prym varieties, and intermediate Jacobians. Subsequently, the Fourier–Mukai transform is introduced and applied to the study of sheaves, and results on Chow groups and the Hodge conjecture are obtained.This book is suitable for use as the main text for a first course on abelian varieties, for instance as a second graduate course in algebraic geometry. The variety of topics and abundant exercises also make it well suited to reading courses. The book provides an accessible reference, not only for students specializing in algebraic geometry but also in related subjects such as number theory, cryptography, mathematical physics, and integrable systems.Trade Review“The reorganization of the topics is fine surgical work. Several portions of the original monograph are sewn in a natural way in the new book, adding examples or additional text when necessary, and re-arranging the focus to make it a more friendly introduction to the subject. Careful attention to details and the required background makes the book under review accessible to an interested reader and could be a used as textbook for a course on abelian varieties.” (Felipe Zaldivar, MAA Reviews, June 18, 2023)Table of Contents1. Line Bundles on Complex Tori.- 2 Abelian Varieties.- 3 Moduli Spaces.- 4 Jacobian Varieties.- 5 Main Examples of Abelian Varieties.- 6 The Fourier Transform for Sheaves and Cycles.- 7 Introduction to the Hodge Conjecture for Abelian Varieties.

Birkhauser Verlag AG Visual Complex Functions: An Introduction with
Book SynopsisThis book provides a systematic introduction to functions of one complex variable. Its novel feature is the consistent use of special color representations – so-called phase portraits – which visualize functions as images on their domains.Reading Visual Complex Functions requires no prerequisites except some basic knowledge of real calculus and plane geometry. The text is self-contained and covers all the main topics usually treated in a first course on complex analysis. With separate chapters on various construction principles, conformal mappings and Riemann surfaces it goes somewhat beyond a standard programme and leads the reader to more advanced themes.In a second storyline, running parallel to the course outlined above, one learns how properties of complex functions are reflected in and can be read off from phase portraits. The book contains more than 200 of these pictorial representations which endow individual faces to analytic functions. Phase portraits enhance the intuitive understanding of concepts in complex analysis and are expected to be useful tools for anybody working with special functions – even experienced researchers may be inspired by the pictures to new and challenging questions.Visual Complex Functions may also serve as a companion to other texts or as a reference work for advanced readers who wish to know more about phase portraits.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“This textbook is an introduction to the classical theory of functions of one complex variable. Its distinctive feature are the graphical representations of functions, being the most useful tool in teaching and generally in mathematics. … The self-sufficiency of the textbook and the broad range of graphical examples makes the book useful for students as well as teachers of mathematics. … the book can be warmly recommended both to experts and to a new generation of mathematicians.” (Stanislawa Kanas, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1264, 2013)“Anyone who works with complex variables should read this book. … Visual Complex Functions is a beautiful and careful presentation of an entire advanced introduction to complex analysis based on phase portraits and, where appropriate, other kinds of computer-generated pictures. … My understanding of many ideas and phenomena deepened through reading this book.” (Lloyd N.

De Gruyter Topics in Complex Analysis
Book SynopsisThis graduate-level mathematics textbook provides an in-depth and readable exposition of selected topics in complex analysis. The material spans both the standard theory at a level suitable for a first-graduate class on the subject and several advanced topics delving deeper into the subject and applying the theory in different directions. The focus is on beautiful applications of complex analysis to geometry and number theory. The text is accompanied by beautiful figures illustrating many of the concepts and proofs. Among the topics covered are asymptotic analysis; conformal mapping and the Riemann mapping theory; the Euler gamma function, the Riemann zeta function, and a proof of the prime number theorem; elliptic functions, and modular forms. The final chapter gives the first detailed account in textbook format of the recent solution to the sphere packing problem in dimension 8, published by Maryna Viazovska in 2016 — a groundbreaking proof for which Viazovska was awarded the Fields Medal in 2022. The book is suitable for self-study by graduate students or advanced undergraduates with an interest in complex analysis and its applications, or for use as a textbook for graduate mathematics classes, with enough material for 2-3 semester-long classes. Researchers in complex analysis, analytic number theory, modular forms, and the theory of sphere packing, will also find much to enjoy in the text, including new material not found in standard textbooks.
