A conference on Analytic Number Theory and Diophantine Problems was held from June 24 to July 3, 1984 at the Oklahoma State University in Stillwater. The conference was funded by the National Science Foundation, the College of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Mathematics at Oklahoma State University. The papers in this volume represent only a portion of the many talks given at the conference. The principal speakers were Professors E. Bombieri, P. X. Gallagher, D. Goldfeld, S. Graham, R. Greenberg, H. Halberstam, C. Hooley, H. Iwaniec, D. J. Lewis, D. W. Masser, H. L. Montgomery, A. Selberg, and R. C. Vaughan. Of these, Professors Bombieri, Goldfeld, Masser, and Vaughan gave three lect...
This book concentrates on the final chapter of the story of perhaps the most famous mathematics problem of our time: Fermat's Last Theorem. The full story begins in 1637, with Pierre de Fermat's enigmatic marginal note in his copy of Diophantus's Arithmetica. It ends with the spectacular solution by Andrew Wiles some 350 years later. The Fermat Diary provides a record in pictures and words of the dramatic time from June 1993 to August 1995, including the period when Wiles completed the last stages of the proof and concluding with the mathematical world's celebration of Wiles' result at Boston University. This diary takes us through the process of discovery as reported by those who worked on ...
Think you know everything there is to know about being Jewish? Oy vey, let me tell you, that’s a lot of drek to keep in one’s Yiddisher kop! But why be in the dark? Covering information on everything from religious history to the fashion world, the Ultimate Jewish Trivia Book delves into the whole megillah . . . and then some. Yes, there are a ton of Jewish holidays and the traditions that go with them, and even the uber-faithful sometimes get them mixed up. Sukkot? Real or imaginary? Cholent? A type of festival, a stew, or both? Jews have been entertaining the world at large for centuries. We have top contenders and players in just about every media: heayy hitters like Neil Simon, Steve...
'Motives' were introduced in the mid-1960s by Grothendieck to explain the analogies among the various cohomology theories for algebraic varieties, and to play the role of the missing rational cohomology. This work contains the texts of the lectures presented at the AMS-IMS-SIAM Joint Summer Research Conference on Motives, held in Seattle, in 1991.

This book represents the proceedings of a workshop on elliptic curves held in St. Adele, Quebec, in February 1992. Containing both expository and research articles on the theory of elliptic curves, this collection covers a range of topics, from Langlands's theory to the algebraic geometry of elliptic curves, from Iwasawa theory to computational aspects of elliptic curves. This book is especially significant in that it covers topics comprising the main ingredients in Andrew Wiles's recent result on Fermat's Last Theorem.
Aimed at presenting nontechnical explanations, all the essays in this collection of papers from the 1989 LMS Durham Symposium on L-functions are the contributions of renowned algebraic number theory specialists.
