Brouwer's Cambridge Lectures on Intuitionism
Luitzen Egburtus Jan Brouwer founded a school of thought whose aim was to include mathematics within the framework of intuitionistic philosophy; mathematics was to be regarded as an essentially free development of the human mind. What emerged diverged considerably at some points from tradition, but intuitionism has survived well the struggle between contending schools in the foundations of mathematics and exact philosophy. Originally published in 1981, this monograph contains a series of lectures dealing with most of the fundamental topics such as choice sequences, the continuum, the fan theorem, order and well-order. Brouwer's own powerful style is evident throughout the work.
Brouwer Degree
This monograph explores the concept of the Brouwer degree and its continuing impact on the development of important areas of nonlinear analysis. The authors define the degree using an analytical approach proposed by Heinz in 1959 and further developed by Mawhin in 2004, linking it to the Kronecker index and employing the language of differential forms. The chapters are organized so that they can be approached in various ways depending on the interests of the reader. Unifying this structure is the central role the Brouwer degree plays in nonlinear analysis, which is illustrated with existence, surjectivity, and fixed point theorems for nonlinear mappings. Special attention is paid to the computation of the degree, as well as to the wide array of applications, such as linking, differential and partial differential equations, difference equations, variational and hemivariational inequalities, game theory, and mechanics. Each chapter features bibliographic and historical notes, and the final chapter examines the full history. Brouwer Degree will serve as an authoritative reference on the topic and will be of interest to professional mathematicians, researchers, and graduate students.
L.E.J. Brouwer – Topologist, Intuitionist, Philosopher
Dirk van Dalen’s biography studies the fascinating life of the famous Dutch mathematician and philosopher Luitzen Egbertus Jan Brouwer. Brouwer belonged to a special class of genius; complex and often controversial and gifted with a deep intuition, he had an unparalleled access to the secrets and intricacies of mathematics. Most mathematicians remember L.E.J. Brouwer from his scientific breakthroughs in the young subject of topology and for the famous Brouwer fixed point theorem. Brouwer’s main interest, however, was in the foundation of mathematics which led him to introduce, and then consolidate, constructive methods under the name ‘intuitionism’. This made him one of the main prot...
Champions of Enlightenment
Jan F. Brouwer's second book 'Champions of Enlightenment' discusses the spirituality of some of the most famous thinkers of world history, like Friedrich Nietzsche, Alan Watts, Osho, Etty Hillesum, Aldous Huxley and many more. Some you might know already. Others will be new to you. But what all the 30 thinkers in this volume have in common is their ecstatic love for the Divine. Beware. This love may prove to be very contagious!
Reflection on Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem
Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Mathematics - Algebra, grade: 2.5, , language: English, abstract: The Brouwer’s Fixed Point Theorem is one of the most well known and important existence principles in mathematics. Since the theorem and its many equivalent formulations or extensions are powerful tools in showing the existence of solutions for many problems in pure and applied mathematics, many scholars have been studying its further extensions and applications. The Brouwer Theorem itself gives no information about the location of fixed points. However, effective ways have been developed to calculate or approximate the fixed points. Such techniques are important in various applications including calculation of economic equilibria. Because Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem has a significant role in mathematics, there are many generalizations and proofs of this theorem. In this paper, we will try to show several proves of Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem. First, let’s take a look at Brouwer Theorem from real world illustrations. There are several real world examples, and we will take in consideration few of them.
Methods in Nonlinear Analysis
This book offers a systematic presentation of up-to-date material scattered throughout the literature from the methodology point of view. It reviews the basic theories and methods, with many interesting problems in partial and ordinary differential equations, differential geometry and mathematical physics as applications, and provides the necessary preparation for almost all important aspects in contemporary studies. All methods are illustrated by carefully chosen examples from mechanics, physics, engineering and geometry.
L. E. J. Brouwer Collected Works
L. E. J. Brouwer Collected Works, Volume 2: Geometry, Analysis, Topology, and Mechanics focuses on the contributions and principles of Brouwer on geometry, topology, analysis, and mechanics, including non-Euclidean spaces, integrals, and surfaces. The publication first ponders on non-Euclidean spaces and integral theorems, lie groups, and plane transition theorem. Discussions focus on remarks on multiple integrals, force field of the non-Euclidean spaces with negative curvature, difference quotients and differential quotients, characterization of the Euclidean and non-Euclidean motion groups, and continuous one-one transformations of surfaces in themselves. The book also takes a look at vector fields on surfaces and new methods in topology, including continuous vector distributions on surfaces and orthogonal trajectories of the orbits of a one parameter plane projective group. The book then ponders on mechanics and topology of surfaces, as well as the motion of a particle on the bottom of a rotating vessel under the influence of gravitational force. The publication is a valuable reference for researchers interested in geometry, topology, analysis, and mechanics.
