De Gruyter Meanders: Sturm Global Attractors, Seaweed Lie Algebras and Classical Yang-Baxter Equation
Book SynopsisThis unique book’s subject is meanders (connected, oriented, non-self-intersecting planar curves intersecting the horizontal line transversely) in the context of dynamical systems. By interpreting the transverse intersection points as vertices and the arches arising from these curves as directed edges, meanders are introduced from the graphtheoretical perspective. Supplementing the rigorous results, mathematical methods, constructions, and examples of meanders with a large number of insightful figures, issues such as connectivity and the number of connected components of meanders are studied in detail with the aid of collapse and multiple collapse, forks, and chambers. Moreover, the author introduces a large class of Morse meanders by utilizing the right and left one-shift maps, and presents connections to Sturm global attractors, seaweed and Frobenius Lie algebras, and the classical Yang-Baxter equation.

De Gruyter Stereotype Spaces and Algebras
Book SynopsisThe term “stereotype space” was introduced in 1995 and denotes a category of locally convex spaces with surprisingly elegant properties. Its study gives an unexpected point of view on functional analysis that brings this fi eld closer to other main branches of mathematics, namely, to algebra and geometry. This volume contains the foundations of the theory of stereotype spaces, with accurate definitions, formulations, proofs, and numerous examples illustrating the interaction of this discipline with the category theory, the theory of Hopf algebras, and the four big geometric disciplines: topology, differential geometry, complex geometry, and algebraic geometry.

Oxford University Press Topology A Geometric Approach
Book SynopsisThis new-in-paperback introduction to topology emphasizes a geometric approach with a focus on surfaces. A primary feature is a large collection of exercises and projects, which fosters a teaching style that encourages the student to be an active class participant. A wide range of material at different levels supports flexible use of the book for a variety of students. Part I is appropriate for a one-semester or two-quarter course, and Part II (which is problem based) allows the book to be used for a year-long course which supports a variety of syllabuses.The over 750 exercises range from simple checks of omitted details in arguments, to reinforce the material and increase student involvement, to the development of substantial theorems that have been broken into many steps. The style encourages an active student role. Solutions to selected exercises are included as an appendix, with solutions to all exercises available to the instructor on a companion website.Trade ReviewIdeas are introduced in a geometric context and development of material always maintains its excitement.

This book explains the graphic design of illustrations from Thurston's world of low-dimensional geometry and topology. It presents the principles of linear and aerial perspective from the viewpoint of projective geometry.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "I was very pleasantly surprised when I opened the book. … this is really a much richer book. Indeed, the approach it offers to drawing can have a significant impact on how we teach and think about mathematics. … If you are good at visualization and illustration, this book can help you become better yet. … this will give you concrete and specific suggestions for developing your skills. If you just appreciate skillful drawing and illustration, this book deserves a look." (William J. Satzer, MathDL, December, 2006) "This book is a drawing manual for mathematicians. It is written by a great expert in the subject … . The author explained his techniques of drawing and of shading pictures, he explains when to use perspective and when not to use it, and so on. The numerous illustrations that are contained in this book as examples for drawing of mathematical objects are delightful … .

Separate chapters are devoted to the ideas of convergent sequences and series, continuous functions, differentiation, and the Riemann integral (of a real-valued function defined on a compact interval). The middle chapters cover general topology and a miscellany of applications: the Weierstrass and Stone-Weierstrass approximation theorems, the existence of geodesics in compact metric spaces, elements of Fourier analysis, and the Weyl equidistribution theorem. Next comes a discussion of differentiation of vector-valued functions of several real variables, followed by a brief treatment of measure and integration (in a general setting, but with emphasis on Lebesgue theory in Euclidean spaces). The final part of the book deals with manifolds, differential forms, and Stokes' theorem [in the spirit of M. Spivak's: ``Calculus on manifolds'' (1965; Zbl 141.05403)] which is applied to prove Brouwer's fixed point theorem and to derive the basic properties of harmonic functions, such as the Dirichlet principle''.

Springer New York An Introduction To Semiclassical And Microlocal Analysis Hb
Book SynopsisThis book presents the techniques used in the microlocal treatment of semiclassical problems coming from quantum physics in a pedagogical, way and is mainly addressed to non-specialists in the subject.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "The book is very clearly written, and is indeed much simpler than most of others. … this is an excellent book, suitable even for students with a poor background in the subject. In my opinion, every department offering courses on partial differential equations or asymptotic analysis should have it in the library. It will be very useful to all mathematicians working in semi-classical or microlocal analysis … ." (Yuri Safarov, Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Issue 35, 2003) "This is a concise and accessible book on the basic techniques of semiclassical and microlocal analysis. … An appendix provides a useful summary of the major formulas used in the text. Each chapter is followed by a collection of provocative and well chosen exercises. The exercises are essential for understanding the work and provide important applications. … the text does provide a very readable, clear, and concise introduction to semiclassical and microlocal analysis." (Peter D. Hislop, Mathematical Reviews, 2003 b) "The contents of the book correspond to a course at Ph. D. Level, given by the author at the Universities of Bologna and Paris-Nord. … the book collects in an original way standard results and new aspects of semi-classical microlocal analysis; the reading is suggested to non-specialists as well." (L. Rodino, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 994 (19), 2002) "This book presents most of the techniques used in the microlocal treatment of semiclassical problems coming from quantum physics. … The originality lies in the fact that the main features of analytic microlocal analysis are derived from a single and elementary a priori estimate. Various exercises illustrate the chief results of each chapter while introducing the reader to further developments of the theory. Applications to the study of the Schrödinger operator are also discussed, to further the understanding of new notions … ." (L’ Enseignement Mathematique, Vol. 48 (1-2), 2002) "The book under review consists of lecture notes corresponding to a course taught for several years at the universities of Paris-Nord (France) and Bologna (Italy). It is addressed mainly to non-specialists in the subject, and the prerequisites are essentially reduced to the basic notions of the theory of distributions. … The author tries to make clear how the things work and show examples where they can be applied.

Penguin Publishing Group Poincares Prize The HundredYear Quest to Solve One of Maths Greatest Puzzles
Book SynopsisThe amazing story of one of the greatest math problems of all time and the reclusive genius who solved itIn the tradition of Fermat’s Enigma and Prime Obsession, George Szpiro brings to life the giants of mathematics who struggled to prove a theorem for a century and the mysterious man from St. Petersburg, Grigory Perelman, who fi nally accomplished the impossible. In 1904 Henri Poincaré developed the Poincaré Conjecture, an attempt to understand higher-dimensional space and possibly the shape of the universe. The problem was he couldn’t prove it. A century later it was named a Millennium Prize problem, one of the seven hardest problems we can imagine. Now this holy grail of mathematics has been found.Accessibly interweaving history and math, Szpiro captures the passion, frustration, and excitement of the hunt, and provides a fascinating portrait of a contemporary noble-genius.
