  • Lectures on the h-Cobordism Theorem

    by John Milnor ...
    Series series Princeton Legacy Library
    Important lectures on differential topology by acclaimed mathematician John MilnorThese are notes from lectures that John Milnor delivered as a seminar on differential topology in 1963 at Princeton University. These lectures give a new proof of the h-cobordism theorem that is different from the original proof presented by Stephen Smale. Milnor's goal was to provide a fully rigorous proof in terms ...

  • Dynamics in One Complex Variable

    Third Edition

    by John Milnor ...
    Series Book 160 - Annals of Mathematics Studies
    This volume studies the dynamics of iterated holomorphic mappings from a Riemann surface to itself, concentrating on the classical case of rational maps of the Riemann sphere. This subject is large and rapidly growing. These lectures are intended to introduce some key ideas in the field, and to form a basis for further study. The reader is assumed to be familiar with the rudiments of complex ... Read more

  • The Man of Numbers

    Fibonacci's Arithmetic Revolution

    by Keith Devlin ...
    In 1202, a 32-year old Italian finished one of the most influential books of all time, which introduced modern arithmetic to Western Europe. Devised in India in the 7th and 8th centuries and brought to North Africa by Muslim traders, the Hindu-Arabic system helped transform the West into the dominant force in science, technology, and commerce, leaving behind Muslim cultures which had long known it ...

  • Symmetry

    A Very Short Introduction

    by Ian Stewart ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    In the 1800s mathematicians introduced a formal theory of symmetry: group theory. Now a branch of abstract algebra, this subject first arose in the theory of equations. Symmetry is an immensely important concept in mathematics and throughout the sciences, and its applications range across the entire subject. Symmetry governs the structure of crystals, innumerable types of pattern formation, how ... Read more

  • Ellipsoidal Harmonics

    Theory and Applications

    by George Dassios ...
    Series Book 146 - Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications
    The sphere is what might be called a perfect shape. Unfortunately nature is imperfect and many bodies are better represented by an ellipsoid. The theory of ellipsoidal harmonics, originated in the nineteenth century, could only be seriously applied with the kind of computational power available in recent years. This, therefore, is the first book devoted to ellipsoidal harmonics. Topics are drawn ... Read more

  • Kinetic Boltzmann, Vlasov and Related Equations

    by Alexander Sinitsyn, Eugene Dulov, Victor Vedenyapin ...
    Boltzmann and Vlasov equations played a great role in the past and still play an important role in modern natural sciences, technique and even philosophy of science. Classical Boltzmann equation derived in 1872 became a cornerstone for the molecular-kinetic theory, the second law of thermodynamics (increasing entropy) and derivation of the basic hydrodynamic equations. After modifications, the ... Read more
