The American Mathematical Society, with the financial support of the National Science Foundation, held its First Summer Mathematical Institute from June 20 to July 31, 1953. The topic chosen was Lie theory, twenty-nine mathematicians active in this area attended. The six-week period provided opportunity both for the interchange of ideas and for the subsequent shaping of ideas into theorems. The five papers present some results achieved by the participants.--Foreword.
Based upon the principle that graph design should be a science, this book presents the principles of graph construction. The orientation of the material is toward graphs in technical writings, such as journal articles and technical reports. But much of the material is relevant for graphs shown in talks and for graphs in nontechnical publications. -- from back cover.
Volume I of this 2-volume textbook provides a lively and readable presentation of large parts of classical geometry. For each topic the author presents an esthetically pleasing and easily stated theorem - although the proof may be difficult and concealed. The mathematical text is illustrated with figures, open problems and references to modern literature, providing a unified reference to geometry in the full breadth of its subfields and ramifications.
As an introduction to fundamental geometric concepts and tools needed for solving problems of a geometric nature using a computer, this book fills the gap between standard geometry books, which are primarily theoretical, and applied books on computer graphics, computer vision, or robotics that do not cover the underlying geometric concepts in detail. Gallier offers an introduction to affine, projective, computational, and Euclidean geometry, basics of differential geometry and Lie groups, and explores many of the practical applications of geometry. Some of these include computer vision, efficient communication, error correcting codes, cryptography, motion interpolation, and robot kinematics. This comprehensive text covers most of the geometric background needed for conducting research in computer graphics, geometric modeling, computer vision, and robotics and as such will be of interest to a wide audience including computer scientists, mathematicians, and engineers.
This volume contains all twenty-three of the principal survey papers presented at the Symposium on Ordered Sets held at Banff, Canada from August 28 to September 12, 1981. The Symposium was supported by grants from the NATO Advanced Study Institute programme, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Canadian Mathematical Society Summer Research Institute programme, and the University of Calgary. tve are very grateful to these Organizations for their considerable interest and support. Over forty years ago on April 15, 1938 the first Symposium on Lattice Theory was held in Charlottesville, U.S.A. in conjunction with a meeting of the American Mathematical Society. Th...
A philosophically provocative treatment for general mathematicians. Reformulates the model theory underlying "non" standard mathematics within point set topology and presents new proofs for the various versions. The radical aspect is the introduction of relativity into the mathematical environment. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Dante placed the great geniuses of the pagan world, such as Plato and Aristotle, in Limbo, the first circle of Hell. They were not punished or tortured. Instead, they lived in a magnificent citadel of reason located in an idyllic valley with a beautiful meadow at its center. The light of their inner genius cast an enchanting glow over their world. We refer to this pagan citadel of rationalism as Castalia, or Logopolis, or the City of the Higher Sun, or Hyperborea. Are you a natural-born Castalian, or does reason nauseate you?
