This unique text provides a geometric approach to group theory and linear algebra, bringing to light the interesting ways in which these subjects interact. Requiring few prerequisites beyond understanding the notion of a proof, the text aims to give students a strong foundation in both geometry and algebra. Starting with preliminaries (relations, elementary combinatorics, and induction), the book then proceeds to the core topics: the elements of the theory of groups and fields (Lagrange's Theorem, cosets, the complex numbers and the prime fields), matrix theory and matrix groups, determinants, vector spaces, linear mappings, eigentheory and diagonalization, Jordan decomposition and normal fo...
Representations of Groups contains papers presented at the Canadian Mathematical Society Annual Seminar held in June 1994, in Banff, Alberta, Canada.
This volume is the collection of papers dedicated to Yozo Matsushima on his 60th birthday, which took place on February 11, 1980. A conference in Geometry in honor of Professor Matsushima was held at the University of Notre Dame on May 14 and 15, 1980. Some of the papers in this volume were delivered on this occasion. 0 00 0\ - 15 S. Kobayashi, University 27 R. Ogawa, Loyola 42 P. Ryan, Indiana 1 W. Stoll 2 W.

This volume contains the proceedings of the Tsukuba International Conference on Representations of Algebras and Related Topics (fifth ICRA), held at the University of Tsukuba, August 13-18, 1990. The conference focused on the rapid development of research on representations of finite-dimensional algebras and group representations. A subset of the fifty-seven lectures are collected here, together with a number of other papers not originally presented at the conference. With contributions by some of the world's leading experts in this area, this book provides a valuable overview of the frontier of research in representations of algebras.
This volume is the hardcopy version of the electronic manuscript, "Proceedings of the Organic Mathematics Workshop" held at Simon Fraser University in December 1995 (www.cecm.sfu.ca/organics). The book provides a fixed, easily referenced, and permanent version of what is otherwise an evolving document. Contained in this work is a collection of articles on experimental and computational mathematics contributed by leading mathematicians around the world. The papers span a variety of mathematical fields - from juggling to differential equations to prime number theory. The book also contains biographies and photos of the contributing mathematicians and an in-depth characterization of organic mathematics.
These proceedings report a number of lecture series delivered during the Workshop on Representation Theory of Algebras and Related Topics held at Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) in August 1994. The workshop was dedicated to recent advances in the field and its interaction with other areas of mathematics, such as algebraic geometry, ring theory, and representation of groups. The program of the Workshop consisted of 9 lecture series. In addition there was a Tame Day consisting of 6 lectures reporting on the recent advances in the study of tame algebras and their module categories. During the Workshop there was a session devoted to the exhibition of computer programs developed by participants. These programs are implementations of algorithms related to the calculation of important aspects of algebras and their module categories.
The Sixth International Conference on Representations of Algebras was held at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, in August 1992. This refereed volume contains papers presented at the conference, as well as a number of papers submitted after the conference. Describing developments at the forefront of the field, this book will be of interest to algebraists working in the field of representation theory.
This book contains the proceedings of a special session held during the Summer Meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society in 1990. The articles collected here reflect the diverse interests of the participants but are united by the common theme of the interplay among geometry, global analysis, and topology. The topics covered include applications to low dimensional manifolds, control theory, integrable systems, Lie algebras of operators, and algebraic geometry and provide an insight into some recent trends in these areas.
