Manifolds all of whose Geodesics are Closed (Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete. 2. Folge)

X 1 O S R Cher lecteur, J'entre bien tard dans l. a. sphere etroite des ecrivains au double alphabet, moi qui, il y a plus de quarante ans deja, avais accueilli sur mes terres un common epris de mathematiques. JI m'avait parle de ses projets grandioses en promettant d'ailleurs de m'envoyer ses ouvrages de geometrie.

Mathematical Excursions to the World's Great Buildings

From the pyramids and the Parthenon to the Sydney Opera condo and the Bilbao Guggenheim, this publication takes readers on an eye-opening journey of the math in the back of a few of the world's such a lot outstanding constructions. fantastically illustrated, the publication explores the milestones in simple arithmetic that brighten up the certainty of those structures and combines this with an in-depth examine their aesthetics, heritage, and constitution.

The Mathematics of Knots: Theory and Application: 1 (Contributions in Mathematical and Computational Sciences)

The current quantity grew out of the Heidelberg Knot idea Semester, prepared via the editors in wintry weather 2008/09 at Heidelberg collage. The contributed papers carry the reader modern at the at present so much actively pursued parts of mathematical knot thought and its purposes in mathematical physics and mobile biology.

Lectures on Algebraic Cycles (New Mathematical Monographs)

Spencer Bloch's 1979 Duke lectures, a milestone in sleek arithmetic, were out of print virtually seeing that their first e-book in 1980, but they've got remained influential and are nonetheless the easiest position to profit the guiding philosophy of algebraic cycles and factors. This version, now professionally typeset, has a brand new preface by way of the writer giving his standpoint on advancements within the box during the last 30 years.
