Complex Geometry of Groups
This volume presents the proceedings of the I Iberoamerican Congress on Geometry: Cruz del Sur held in Olmué, Chile. The main topic was "The Geometry of Groups: Curves, Abelian Varieties, Theoretical and Computational Aspects". Participants came from all over the world. The volume gathers the expanded contributions from most of the participants in the Congress. Articles reflect the topic in its diversity and unity, and in particular, the work done on the subject by Iberoamerican mathematicians. Original results and surveys are included on the following areas: curves and Riemann surfaces, abelian varieties, and complex dynamics. The approaches are varied, including Kleinian groups, quasiconformal mappings and Teichmüller spaces, function theory, moduli spaces, automorphism groups,merican algebraic geometry, and more.
Quasiconformal Mappings and Analysis
In honor of Frederick W. Gehring on the occasion of his 70th birthday, an international conference on ""Quasiconformal mappings and analysis"" was held in Ann Arbor in August 1995. The 9 main speakers of the conference (Astala, Earle, Jones, Kra, Lehto, Martin, Pommerenke, Sullivan, and Vaisala) provide broad expository articles on various aspects of quasiconformal mappings and their relations to other areas of analysis. 12 other distinguished mathematicians contribute articles to this volume.
Citizens and Sportsmen
Fútbol, or soccer as it is called in the United States, is the most popular sport in the world. Millions of people schedule their lives and build identities around it. The World Cup tournament, played every four years, draws an audience of more than a billion people and provides a global platform for displays of athletic prowess, nationalist rhetoric, and commercial advertising. Fútbol is ubiquitous in Latin America, yet few academic histories of the sport exist, and even fewer focus on its relevance to politics in the region. To fill that gap, this book uses amateur fútbol clubs in Chile to understand the history of civic associations, popular culture, and politics. In Citizens and Sport...
Analysis
Representing the proceedings of the First Chilean Symposium of Mathematics, this outstanding volume provides a review of the work currently being done by leading Chilean mathematicians.
Plasma Physics
This book contains a broad spectrum of plasma physics areas, from magnetic confinement (tokamaks) to spectroscopy in plasmas. The invited papers of the LAWPP present mini-courses for graduate students and review papers in each area, also updating the new ideas in the field.

Publisher Description
Patrick Suppes: Scientific Philosopher
Patrick Suppes is a philosopher and scientist whose contributions range over probability and statistics, mathematical and experimental psychology, the foundations of physics, education theory, the philosophy of language, measurement theory, and the philosophy of science. He has also been a pioneer in the area of computer assisted instruction. In each of these areas, Suppes has provided seminal ideas that in some cases led to shaping the direction of research in the field. The papers contained in this collection were commissioned with the mandate of advancing research in their respective fields rather than retrospectively surveying the contributions that Suppes himself has made. The authors f...
Mathematical Logic and Formal Systems
This unique collection of research papers provides an important contribution to the area of Mathematical Logic and Formal Systems. Exploring interesting practical applications as well as problems for further investigation, this single-source reference discusses the interpretations of the concept of probability and their relationship to statistical methods ... illustrates the problem of set theoretical foundations and category theory ... treats the various aspects of the theory of large cardinals including combinatorial properties of some sets naturally related to them ... resolves an open problem in the theory of relations ... and characterizes interpretations of elementary theories as functors between categories whose objects are structures. Written by world-renowned authorities in their fields, Mathematical Logic and Formal Systems is important reading for logicians, pure and applied mathematicians, and graduate students in logic courses.

Logic Colloquium '88
The result of the European Summer Meeting of the Association for Symbolic Logic, this volume gives an overview of the latest developments in most of the major fields of logic being actively pursued today.As well as selected papers, the two panel discussions are also included, on ``Trends in Logic'' and ``The Teaching of Logic''.
