Geometry -- Intuition and Concepts
This book deals with the geometry of the visual space in all its aspects. As in any branch of mathematics, the aim is to trace the hidden to the obvious; the peculiarity of geometry is that the obvious is sometimes literally before one's eyes. Starting from intuition, spatial concepts are embedded in the pre-existing mathematical framework of linear algebra and calculus. The path from visualization to mathematically exact language is the content of this book. This is intended to close an often-lamented gap in understanding between descriptive preschool and school geometry and the abstract concepts of linear algebra and calculus. At the same time, it justifies descriptive geometric argumentat...
Differentialgeometrie und Minimalflächen
Hier wird zum ersten Mal Studenten eines Anfängerkurses in Differenzialgeometrie die Theorie der Minimalflächen zugänglich gemacht. Das Buch bleibt dabei auf das Wesentliche beschränkt, ist immer gut lesbar und ausführlich motiviert. Für die Neuauflage wurde der Text in Zusammenarbeit mit J.-H. Eschenburg überarbeitet und aktualisiert. J. Jost ist seit 1993 Träger des Leibniz-Förderpreises, der an herausragende Wissenschaftler vergeben wird.
Sternstunden der Mathematik
Der Titel dieses Buches über Mathematik ist ausgeborgt von Stefan Zweigs "Sternstunden der Menschheit". Dort geht es um Weltgeschichte, doch es sind nicht so sehr die allseits bekannten historischen Ereignisse, an die erinnert wird, sondern etwas verborgenere, in denen sich gleichwohl das Weltgeschehen fokussierte. Von solchen Ereignissen hat auch die Wissenschaft und besonders die Mathematik viele zu bieten. Die Geschichten dieses Buches möchten mathematische Ideengeschichte nachzeichnen anhand einer sehr persönlich motivierten Auswahl von Ereignissen mit ihrem Vorher und Nachher, von Pythagoras bis Perelman. Der Weg von der Oberfläche zu einem tieferen Verstehen macht das Wesen der Mathematik aus, und besonders spektakuläre Durchbrüche dieser Art sind "Sternstunden". Will man sie verstehen, ist es gut, sich an die Quelle zu begeben, in die Zeit zu reisen, als der Durchbruch erzielt, die neuen Ideen geboren wurden, als man sich tastend und respektvoll auf ganz neues Gebiet vorwagte. Das Buch möchte zu einer Auseinandersetzung mit diesen Ideen anregen und dabei gleichermaßen mathematisch interessierte Laien und Fachleute ansprechen.
A Panoramic View of Riemannian Geometry
This book introduces readers to the living topics of Riemannian Geometry and details the main results known to date. The results are stated without detailed proofs but the main ideas involved are described, affording the reader a sweeping panoramic view of almost the entirety of the field. From the reviews "The book has intrinsic value for a student as well as for an experienced geometer. Additionally, it is really a compendium in Riemannian Geometry." --MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS

Algebraic Models in Geometry
Rational homotopy is a very powerful tool for differential topology and geometry. This text aims to provide graduates and researchers with the tools necessary for the use of rational homotopy in geometry. Algebraic Models in Geometry has been written for topologists who are drawn to geometrical problems amenable to topological methods and also for geometers who are faced with problems requiring topological approaches and thus need a simple and concrete introduction to rational homotopy. This is essentially a book of applications. Geodesics, curvature, embeddings of manifolds, blow-ups, complex and K hler manifolds, symplectic geometry, torus actions, configurations and arrangements are all covered. The chapters related to these subjects act as an introduction to the topic, a survey, and a guide to the literature. But no matter what the particular subject is, the central theme of the book persists; namely, there is a beautiful connection between geometry and rational homotopy which both serves to solve geometric problems and spur the development of topological methods.
Hermitian–Grassmannian Submanifolds
This book presents the proceedings of the 20th International Workshop on Hermitian Symmetric Spaces and Submanifolds, which was held at the Kyungpook National University from June 21 to 25, 2016. The Workshop was supported by the Research Institute of Real and Complex Manifolds (RIRCM) and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF). The Organizing Committee invited 30 active geometers of differential geometry and related fields from all around the globe to discuss new developments for research in the area. These proceedings provide a detailed overview of recent topics in the field of real and complex submanifolds.
Geometry and Topology: Aarhus
This volume includes both survey and research articles on major advances and future developments in geometry and topology. Papers include those presented as part of the 5th Aarhus Conference - a meeting of international participants held in connection with ICM Berlin in 1998 - and related papers on the subject. This collection of papers is aptly published in the Contemporary Mathematics series, as the works represent the state of research and address areas of future development in the area of manifold theory and geometry. The survey articles in particular would serve well as supplemental resources in related graduate courses.
