The Nature and Growth of Modern Mathematics

Now available in a one-volume paperback, this book traces the development of the most important mathematical concepts, giving special attention to the lives and thoughts of such mathematical innovators as Pythagoras, Newton, Poincare, and Godel. Beginning with a Sumerian short story--ultimately linked to modern digital computers--the author clearly introduces concepts of binary operations; point-set topology; the nature of post-relativity geometries; optimization and decision processes; ergodic theorems; epsilon-delta arithmetization; integral equations; the beautiful "ideals" of Dedekind and Emmy Noether; and the importance of "purifying" mathematics. Organizing her material in a conceptual rather than a chronological manner, she integrates the traditional with the modern, enlivening her discussions with historical and biographical detail.

A History of Women in Mathematics

From ancient Greece to medieval Baghdad, from Revolutionary France to China's Qing Dynasty, women mathematicians have worked alongside men to a degree that was denied them in most other fields of scientific inquiry. Locked out of biological studies first by restrictions on their freedom of travel and later because of concerns that they would be corrupted by evolutionary thought, effectively barred from experimental physics for centuries through lack of access to specialized equipment, and inconsistently permitted a medical education, women have, for three thousand years and more, been a steady presence during every great mathematical era. They have contributed to the fundamentals of geometry...

Partially Ordered Groups

Recently the theory of partially ordered groups has been used by analysts, algebraists, topologists and model theorists. This book presents the most important results and topics in the theory with proofs that rely on (and interplay with) other areas of mathematics. It concludes with a list of some unsolved problems for the reader to tackle. In stressing both the special techniques of the discipline and the overlap with other areas of pure mathematics, the book should be of interest to a wide audience in diverse areas of mathematics.

The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction, 1908-2008: People, Events, and Challenges in Mathematics Education

The book presents the history of ICMI trough a prosopographical approach. In other words, it pays a lot of attention to the actors of the International movement. The portraits of the members of the ICMI Central Committees (1908-1936) and ICMI Executive Committees (1952-2008), and other eminent figures in ICMI history, who have passed away in the first 100 years of its life, are the guiding thread of the volume. Each portrait includes: · Biographical information · An outline of the various contributions made by the individual in question to the study of problems pertaining to mathematics teaching/education · Primary bibliography · Secondary with particular attention to the publications co...

First Trilogy about Sylow Theory in Locally Finite Groups

Part 1 (ISBN 978-3-7568-0801-4) of the Trilogy is based on the BoD-Book "Characterising locally finite groups satisfying the strong Sylow Theorem for the prime p - Revised edition" (see ISBN 978-3-7562-3416-5). The First edition of Part 1 (see ISBN 978-3-7543-6087-3) removes the highlights in light green of the Revised edition, adds 14 pages to the AGTA paper and 10 pages to the Revised edition. It includes Reference [11] resp. [10] as Appendix 1 resp. Appendix 2 and calls to mind Professor Otto H. Kegel's contribution to the conference Ischia Group Theory 2016. The Second edition introduces a uniform page numbering, adds page numbers to the appendices, improves 19 pages, adds Pages 109 to 1...

Characterising Locally Finite Groups Satisfying the Strong Sylow Theorem for the Prime p - Part 1 of a Trilogy

Part 1 of the Trilogy "Characterising Locally Finite Groups Satisfying the Strong Sylow Theorem for the Prime p" & "About the Strong Sylow Theorem for the Prime p in Simple Locally Finite Groups" & "The Strong Sylow Theorem for the Prime p in Projective Special Linear Locally Finite Groups" is based on the beauteous BoD-Book "Characterising locally finite groups satisfying the strong Sylow Theorem for the prime p - Revised edition" (see ISBN 978-3-7562-3416-5) which in turn has been based on the author's research paper "Characterising Locally Finite Groups Satisfying the Strong Sylow Theorem for the Prime p" that was published on pp. 13-39 of Volume 13 of the gratifyingly open access mathema...

Characterising locally finite groups satisfying the strong Sylow Theorem for the prime p

The Revised edition is based on the author's paper "Characterising Locally Finite Groups Satisfying the Strong Sylow Theorem for the Prime p" which has been published on pp. 13-39 of Volume 13 of the very fine open access mathematical journal Advances in Group Theory and Applications (AGTA) (see https://www.advgrouptheory.com/journal/#read). For that paper the author has transferred the copyright to AGTA. The Revised edition introduces quite a number of corrections and embellishments, highlighted in light green, which could not have been considered by AGTA, and especially a much more beautiful line and page formatting. For these enhancements the author has kept the copyright. The Revised edition adds Pages i to vi, Pages 26a to 26f and Pages xiii to xviii to the AGTA paper which either are required for a book - the front matter (die "Titelei") - or describe related aspects and background which cannot be published in a mathematical journal. The Revised edition incorporates major revisions by the author and by editors as well as some supplementary material designed to bring the research paper up to date.
