Felix Hausdorff - Gesammelte Werke Band 5: Astronomie, Optik und Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie (v. 5) (German and English Edition)by Josef Bemelmans; Christa Binder; Srishti D. Chatterji; Stefan Hildebrandt; Walter Purkert; Felix Schmeidler; Erhard Scholz
Springer 2006; US$ 149.00Band 5 umfaßt die Themenbereiche Astronomie, Optik und Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie. Er enthält Hausdorffs Dissertation über die Refraktion des Lichtes in der Atmosphäre, zwei Folgearbeiten zum gleichen Thema sowie die Habilitationsschrift über die Extinktion des Lichtes in der Atmosphäre. Es folgt eine Arbeit über geometrische Optik, die unmittelbar an die berühmte Publikation von H. Bruns über das Eikonal anschließt und in der Hausdorff die damals ganz neuen Lieschen Theorien für die Optik nutzbar zu machen suchte. Auf dem Gebiet der Stochastik veröffentlichte Hausdorff zwei längere Arbeiten, die in verschiedenen Bereichen der Versicherungsmathematik und der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung ihre Spuren hinterlassen haben. Von besonderem historischen... more...
Infinite Wordsby Dominique Perrin; Jean-Éric Pin
Elsevier 2004; US$ 180.00Infinite Words is an important theory in both Mathematics and Computer Sciences. Many new developments have been made in the field, encouraged by its application to problems in computer science. Infinite Words is the first manual devoted to this topic. Infinite Words explores all aspects of the theory, including Automata, Semigroups, Topology, Games, Logic, Bi-infinite Words, Infinite Trees and Finite Words. The book also looks at the early pioneering work of Büchi, McNaughton and Schützenberger. Serves as both an introduction to the field and as a reference book. Contains numerous exercises desgined to aid students and readers. Self-contained chapters provide helpful guidance for lectures. more...
Sobolev Spacesby Robert A. Adams; John J. F. Fournier
Elsevier 2003; US$ 140.00Sobolev Spaces presents an introduction to the theory of Sobolev Spaces and other related spaces of function, also to the imbedding characteristics of these spaces. This theory is widely used in pure and Applied Mathematics and in the Physical Sciences. This second edition of Adam's 'classic' reference text contains many additions and much modernizing and refining of material. The basic premise of the book remains unchanged: Sobolev Spaces is intended to provide a solid foundation in these spaces for graduate students and researchers alike. * Self-contained and accessible for readers in other disciplines. * Written at elementary level making it accessible to graduate students. more...

Springer 2008; US$ 149.00Der Mathematiker Hausdorff hat in seinem 1914 erschienen Buch ?Mengenlehre" erstmals den damals aktuellen Stand auf dem Gebiet der deskriptiven Mengenlehre dargestellt. Neben diesem Werk, das von Experten sorgfältig kommentiert wurde, präsentiert der 3. Band der Hausdorff-Edition seine veröffentlichten Arbeiten zur deskriptiven Mengenlehre und Topologie sowie zahlreiche Studien aus dem Nachlass. Darunter u. a. seine originelle Vorlesung im Sommersemester 1933 über algebraische Topologie. more...
Algebraic Groups and Number Theoryby Vladimir Platonov; Andrei Rapinchuk; Rachel Rowen
Elsevier 1993; US$ 121.00This milestone work on the arithmetic theory of linear algebraic groups is now available in English for the first time. Algebraic Groups and Number Theory provides the first systematic exposition in mathematical literature of the junction of group theory, algebraic geometry, and number theory. The exposition of the topic is built on a synthesis of methods from algebraic geometry, number theory, analysis, and topology, and the result is a systematic overview ofalmost all of the major results of the arithmetic theory of algebraic groups obtained to date. more...
