Constructive, Experimental, and Nonlinear Analysis
Presents 20 papers on different aspects of modern analysis including analytic and computational number theory, symbolic and numerical computation, theoretical and computational optimization, and recent development in non-smooth and functional analysis with applications to control theory. Applications in algorithmic number theory and tomography are also discussed. Many of the papers originated at a September 1999 workshop held at the University of Limoges. Among the topics are vector-valued perturbed minimization principles; rotundity related to Lipschitz separation; continued fractions, comparison algorithms, and fine structure constants; and codirectional compactness, metric regularity, and subdifferential calculus.

The Crossing of Heaven
Among the group of physics honors students huddled in 1957 on a Colorado mountain watching Sputnik bisect the heavens, one young scientist was destined, three short years later, to become a key player in America’s own top-secret spy satellite program. One of our era’s most prolific mathematicians, Karl Gustafson was given just two weeks to write the first US spy satellite’s software. The project would fundamentally alter America’s Cold War strategy, and this autobiographical account of a remarkable academic life spent in the top flight tells this fascinating inside story for the first time. Gustafson takes you from his early pioneering work in computing, through fascinating encounters with Nobel laureates and Fields medalists, to his current observations on mathematics, science and life. He tells of brushes with death, being struck by lightning, and the beautiful women who have been a part of his journey.
Stochastic Processes, Physics and Geometry: New Interplays. I
A selection of 21 contributions from invited speakers treat advanced topics at the interface between mathematics and physics. Most are high-level research papers, but some overview their topics, among which are growth and saturation in random media, the maximal dissipativity of the Dirichlet operator corresponding to the Burgers equation, the square of the self-intersection local time of Brownian motion, the spectral theory of sparse potentials, and diffusions on simple configuration spaces. Additional short contributions pay tribute to Swiss-born physicist Albeverio. A second volume presents selected volunteer papers. There is no index.

Multivariate Approximation Theory III
The Fourth International Symposium on Multivariate Approximation Theory was held at the Oberwolfach Mathematical Research Insti tute, Black Forest, W.-Germany, during the week of January 20 - 26, 1985. The preceding conferences on this topic were held in 1976, 1979, and 1982 * . We were pleased to have more than 50 mathematicians from 13 countries in attendance. The program in cluded 40 lectures. These Proceedings form a record of most of the papers presented at the Symposium. The topics treated cover different problems on multivariate approximation such as polynomial approximation on simplices, multivariate splines (box-splines, dimension of spline spaces), blending methods, multivariate He...
Numerical Analysis
This book introduces students with diverse backgrounds to various types of mathematical analysis that are commonly needed in scientific computing. The subject of numerical analysis is treated from a mathematical point of view, offering a complete analysis of methods for scientific computing with appropriate motivations and careful proofs. In an engaging and informal style, the authors demonstrate that many computational procedures and intriguing questions of computer science arise from theorems and proofs. Algorithms are presented in pseudocode, so that students can immediately write computer programs in standard languages or use interactive mathematical software packages. This book occasionally touches upon more advanced topics that are not usually contained in standard textbooks at this level.
Representations of Groups
Survey and research articles from the June 1994 seminar address representations of Lie algebraic, finite, and quantum groups and the relationships among these areas. Topics include complex reflection groups and their associated braid groups; automata to perform basic calculations in Coxeter groups; Heck algebras and representations of finite reductive groups; and Koszul algebras and duality. Of interest to graduate students and research mathematicians. No index. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Spline Functions and the Theory of Wavelets
This work is based on a series of thematic workshops on the theory of wavelets and the theory of splines. Important applications are included. The volume is divided into four parts: Spline Functions, Theory of Wavelets, Wavelets in Physics, and Splines and Wavelets in Statistics. Part one presents the broad spectrum of current research in the theory and applications of spline functions. Theory ranges from classical univariate spline approximation to an abstract framework for multivariate spline interpolation. Applications include scattered-data interpolation, differential equations and various techniques in CAGD. Part two considers two developments in subdivision schemes; one for uniform reg...
Representations of Algebras
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.
Numerical Methods in Scientific Computing:
This work addresses the increasingly important role of numerical methods in science and engineering. It combines traditional and well-developed topics with other material such as interval arithmetic, elementary functions, operator series, convergence acceleration, and continued fractions.
