Designed for an undergraduate course or for independent study, this text presents sophisticated mathematical ideas in an elementary and friendly fashion. The fundamental purpose of this book is to engage the reader and to teach a real understanding of mathematical thinking while conveying the beauty and elegance of mathematics. The text focuses on teaching the understanding of mathematical proofs. The material covered has applications both to mathematics and to other subjects. The book contains a large number of exercises of varying difficulty, designed to help reinforce basic concepts and to motivate and challenge the reader. The sole prerequisite for understanding the text is basic high sc...
A leading importer of limited-production wines of character and quality takes us on an intimate tour through family-owned vineyards in France and Italy and reflects upon the last three decades of controversy, hype, and change in the world of wine In the late 1970s, Neal I. Rosenthal set out to learn everything he could about wine. Today, he is one of the most successful importers of traditionally made wines produced by small family-owned estates in France and Italy. Rosenthal has immersed himself in the culture of Old World wine production, working closely with his growers for two and sometimes three generations. He is one of the leading exponents of the concept of "terroir"—the notion tha...
The earthy Maoist Revolution produced several generations of privileged, elitist leaders. They, and their no-less mini-monarch offspring continued a hard core of leadership dominating all major industries. Han Kai, the grandson of one who marched with Mao, attended America’s best boarding schools and universities; these earmarks projected him to manage Chinese Sovereign Fund investments in the US. He encounters the plotting Greta Stadler, an American committed to recovering Nazi-looted art rightfully owned by her ancestors lost to the Holocaust. The unlikely twosome greedily engages in deceptions that dust away all obstacles to their rubbery restlessness for vast wealth.
This volume is designed to appeal to two different, yet intersecting audiences: linear algebraists and operator theorists. The first half contains a thorough treatment of classical and recent results on triangularization of collections of matrices, while the remainder describes what is known about extensions to linear operators on Banach spaces. It will thus be useful to everyone interested in matrices or operators since the results involve many other topics.
This book offers an elementary and engaging introduction to operator theory on the Hardy-Hilbert space. It provides a firm foundation for the study of all spaces of analytic functions and of the operators on them. Blending techniques from "soft" and "hard" analysis, the book contains clear and beautiful proofs. There are numerous exercises at the end of each chapter, along with a brief guide for further study which includes references to applications to topics in engineering.
THE STORIES: When Peter finally gets a good break for his Hollywood script, he finds himself PITCHING TO THE STAR of the pilot show. Promised control over something he's worked long and hard on, he finds his integrity and his storyline attacked eve
In recent years there has been a large amount of work on invariant subspaces, motivated by interest in the structure of non-self-adjoint of the results have been obtained in operators on Hilbert space. Some the context of certain general studies: the theory of the characteristic operator function, initiated by Livsic; the study of triangular models by Brodskii and co-workers; and the unitary dilation theory of Sz. Nagy and Foia!? Other theorems have proofs and interest independent of any particular structure theory. Since the leading workers in each of the structure theories have written excellent expositions of their work, (cf. Sz.-Nagy-Foia!? [1], Brodskii [1], and Gohberg-Krein [1], [2]),...
