  • Topics in the Foundations of General Relativity and Newtonian Gravitation Theoryby David B. Malament

    University of Chicago Press 2012; US$ 44.00

    In Topics in the Foundations of General Relativity and Newtonian Gravitation Theory , David B. Malament presents the basic logical-mathematical structure of general relativity and considers a number of special topics concerning the foundations of general relativity and its relation to Newtonian gravitation theory. These special topics include the geometrized formulation of Newtonian theory (also known as Newton-Cartan theory), the concept of rotation in general relativity, and Gödel spacetime. One of the highlights of the book is a no-go theorem that can be understood to show that there is no criterion of orbital rotation in general relativity that fully answers to our classical intuitions. Topics is intended for both students and... more...

  • Low Dimensional Topologyby Roger Fenn

    Cambridge University Press 1985; US$ 74.00

  • Trigonometric Delightsby Eli Maor

    Princeton University Press 2011; US$ 28.95

    Trigonometry has always been the black sheep of mathematics. It has a reputation as a dry and difficult subject, a glorified form of geometry complicated by tedious computation. In this book, Eli Maor draws on his remarkable talents as a guide to the world of numbers to dispel that view. Rejecting the usual arid descriptions of sine, cosine, and their trigonometric relatives, he brings the subject to life in a compelling blend of history, biography, and mathematics. He presents both a survey of the main elements of trigonometry and a unique account of its vital contribution to science and social development. Woven together in a tapestry of entertaining stories, scientific curiosities, and educational insights, the book more than lives up to... more...

  • Geometryby Edward Kohn

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2001; US$ 9.99

    CliffsQuickReview course guides cover the essentials of your toughest classes. Get a firm grip on core concepts and key material, and test your newfound knowledge with review questions. From planes, points, and postulates to squares, spheres, and slopes — and everything in between —  CliffsQuickReview Geometry can help you make sense of it all. This guide introduces each topic, defines key terms, and walks you through each sample problem step-by-step. Begin with a review of fundamental ideas such as theorems, angles, and intersecting lines. In no time, you'll be ready to work on other concepts such as Triangles and polygons: Classifying and identifying; features and properties; the Triangle Inequality Theorem;... more...

  • Least Action Principle Of Crystal Formation Of Dense Packing Type And Kepler's Conjectureby W Y Hsiang

    World Scientific 2001; US$ 88.40

    The dense packing of microscopic spheres (i.e. atoms) is the basic geometric arrangement in crystals of mono-atomic elements with weak covalent bonds, which achieves the optimal "known density" of p/√18. In 1611, Johannes Kepler had already "conjectured" that p/√18 should be the optimal "density" of sphere packings. Thus, the central problems in the study of sphere packings are the proof of Kepler's conjecture that p/√18 is the optimal density, and the establishing of the least action principle that the hexagonal dense packings in crystals are the geometric consequence of optimization of density. This important book provides a self-contained proof of both, using vector algebra and spherical geometry as the main techniques... more...

  • Lectures On Differential Geometryby S S Chern; W H Chen; K S Lam

    World Scientific 1999; US$ 75.40

    This book is a translation of an authoritative introductory text based on a lecture series delivered by the renowned differential geometer, Professor S S Chern in Beijing University in 1980. The original Chinese text, authored by Professor Chern and Professor Wei-Huan Chen, was a unique contribution to the mathematics literature, combining simplicity and economy of approach with depth of contents. The present translation is aimed at a wide audience, including (but not limited to) advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, as well as physicists interested in the diverse applications of differential geometry to physics. more...

  • Lectures On Lie Groupsby W Y Hsiang

    World Scientific 2000; US$ 41.60

    This invaluable book provides a concise and systematic introduction to the theory of compact connected Lie groups and their representations, as well as a complete presentation of the structure and classification theory. It uses a non-traditional approach and organization. There is a proper balance between, and a natural combination of, the algebraic and geometric aspects of Lie theory, not only in technical proofs but also in conceptual viewpoints. more...

  • Problems And Solutions In Mathematicsby L T Tsien

    World Scientific 1998; US$ 128.70

    This book contains a selection of more than 500 mathematical problems and their solutions from the PhD qualifying examination papers of more than ten famous American universities. The problems cover six aspects of graduate school mathematics: Algebra, Topology, Differential Geometry, Real Analysis, Complex Analysis and Partial Differential Equations. The depth of knowledge involved is not beyond the contents of the textbooks for graduate students, while solution of the problems requires deep understanding of the mathematical principles and skilled techniques. For students this book is a valuable complement to textbooks; for lecturers teaching graduate school mathematics, a helpful reference. more...
