2nd IMA Conference on Mathematics of Robotics
This book highlights the mathematical depth and sophistication of techniques used in different areas of robotics. Each chapter is a peer-reviewed version of a paper presented during the 2021 IMA Conference on the Mathematics of Robotics, held online September 8–10, 2021. The conference gave a platform to researchers with fundamental contributions and for academic and to share new ideas. The book illustrates some of the current interest in advanced mathematics and robotics such as algebraic geometry, tropical geometry, monodromy and homotopy continuation methods applied to areas such as kinematics, path planning, swam robotics, dynamics and control. It is hoped that the conference and this publications will stimulate further related mathematical research in robotics.
Singularities
This volume contains the proceedings of the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications Participating Institutions Conference on Singularities, held at the University of Iowa in July 1986. The conference brought together an international group of researchers in algebraic and analytic singularity theory. This collection consists of research papers related to talks given at the conference. The field of singularities takes techniques from and gives results to many areas of mathematics, including algebraic and differential geometry and topology, complex analysis, Lie algebras and reflection groups, and combinatorics. All these areas are represented here with an emphasis on local algebraic, analytic and tangential properties, deformation and topology of singularities, and arrangements of hyperplanes.This volume will be of interest to current and prospective researchers in various aspects of singularity theory, as it provides an overview of the current state of singularity theory and details work in several subareas. Many of the articles provide a basis for further research, and a list of problems presented at the conference is included.
Mathematics Of Life
A new partnership of biologists and mathematicians is picking apart the hidden complexity of animals and plants to throw fresh light on the behaviour of entire organisms, how they interact and how changes in biological diversity affect the planet's ecological balance. Mathematics offers new and sometimes startling perspectives on evolution and how patterns of inheritance and population work out over time-scales ranging from millions to hundreds of years - as well as what's going on to change us right now. Ian Stewart, in characteristically clear and entertaining fashion, explores these and a whole range of pertinent issues, including how far genes control behaviour and the nature of life itself. He shows how far mathematicians and biologists are succeeding in tackling some of the most difficult scientific problems the human race has ever confronted and where their research is currently taking us.

Mathematics and the Real World
In this accessible and illuminating study of how the science of mathematics developed, a veteran math researcher and educator looks at the ways in which our evolutionary makeup is both a help and a hindrance to the study of math. Artstein chronicles the discovery of important mathematical connections between mathematics and the real world from ancient times to the present. The author then describes some of the contemporary applications of mathematics—in probability theory, in the study of human behavior, and in combination with computers, which give mathematics unprecedented power. The author concludes with an insightful discussion of why mathematics, for most people, is so frustrating. He argues that the rigorous logical structure of math goes against the grain of our predisposed ways of thinking as shaped by evolution, presumably because the talent needed to cope with logical mathematics gave the human race as a whole no evolutionary advantage. With this in mind, he offers ways to overcome these innate impediments in the teaching of math.
