Problems in dynamics have fascinated physical scientists (and mankind in general) for thousands of years. Notable among such problems are those of celestial mechanics, especially the study of the moti
This book is an abridged version of our two-volume opus Convex Analysis and Minimization Algorithms [18], about which we have received very positive feedback from users, readers, lecturers ever since
This work describes the fundamental principles, problems, and methods of classical mechanics focussing on its mathematical aspects. The authors have striven to give an exposition stressing the working
My purpose is to make the subject accessible to those who find it hard to read more advanced or more algebraically oriented treatments. At the same time I want to introduce topics which are at the for
本书作者是当代数学大师,这本教材的蓝本从1968年开始使用,先后两次改版,重印四次,非常适合学过微积分的高校数学系本科生使用。本书重点论述一致收敛、一到极限,以及在积分或微分情况下普遍的一致性等理论。
The preface to a textbook frequently contains the author's justification for offering the public "another book" on the given subject. For our chosen topic, the arithmetic of elliptic curves, there is
It is gratifying to learn that there is new life in an old field that has been at the center of one's existence for over a quarter of a century. It is particularly pleasing that the subject of Riemann
This book grew out of lectures on Riemann surfaces which the author gave at the universities of Munich, Regensburg and Munster. Its aim is to give an introduction to this rich and beautiful subject, w
This book is based on several courses given by the authors since 1966. It introduces the reader to the representation theory of compact Lie groups. We have chosen a geometrical and analytical approach
This book is the outcome of several courses and seminar talks held at the Instituto de Matematica Pura e Aplicada (IMPA) over the years.It is a greatly modified version of a previous work by the autho
This book is an introduction to the use of geometric partial differential equations (PDEs) in image processing and computer vision. This relatively new research area brings a number of new concepts in
After completing my dissertation in differential geometry, I returned to Maharishi University of Management to join the faculty there. The greatest need for my services was in the physics department,
