Calculus in Vector Spaces, Revised Expanded (Hardcover, 2nd edition): Lawrence Corwin Calculus in Vector Spaces, Revised Expanded (Hardcover, 2nd edition)
Lawrence Corwin
R4,082 Discovery Miles 40 820 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Calculus in Vector Spaces addresses linear algebra from the basics to the spectral theorem and examines a range of topics in multivariable calculus. This second edition introduces, among other topics, the derivative as a linear transformation, presents linear algebra in a concrete context based on complementary ideas in calculus, and explains differential forms on Euclidean space, allowing for Green's theorem, Gauss's theorem, and Stokes's theorem to be understood in a natural setting. Mathematical analysts, algebraists, engineers, physicists, and students taking advanced calculus and linear algebra courses should find this book useful.

Hideaki Ikoma, Shu Kawaguchi, Atsushi Moriwaki
R2,007 Discovery Miles 20 070 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The Mordell conjecture (Faltings's theorem) is one of the most important achievements in Diophantine geometry, stating that an algebraic curve of genus at least two has only finitely many rational points. This book provides a self-contained and detailed proof of the Mordell conjecture following the papers of Bombieri and Vojta. Also acting as a concise introduction to Diophantine geometry, the text starts from basics of algebraic number theory, touches on several important theorems and techniques (including the theory of heights, the Mordell-Weil theorem, Siegel's lemma and Roth's lemma) from Diophantine geometry, and culminates in the proof of the Mordell conjecture. Based on the authors' own teaching experience, it will be of great value to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in algebraic geometry and number theory, as well as researchers interested in Diophantine geometry as a whole.

Geometry of Curves (Hardcover): J.W. Rutter Geometry of Curves (Hardcover)
J.W. Rutter
R5,852 Discovery Miles 58 520 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Interest in the study of geometry is currently enjoying a resurgence-understandably so, as the study of curves was once the playground of some very great mathematicians. However, many of the subject's more exciting aspects require a somewhat advanced mathematics background. For the "fun stuff" to be accessible, we need to offer students an introduction with modest prerequisites, one that stimulates their interest and focuses on problem solving. Integrating parametric, algebraic, and projective curves into a single text, Geometry of Curves offers students a unique approach that provides a mathematical structure for solving problems, not just a catalog of theorems. The author begins with the basics, then takes students on a fascinating journey from conics, higher algebraic and transcendental curves, through the properties of parametric curves, the classification of limacons, envelopes, and finally to projective curves, their relationship to algebraic curves, and their application to asymptotes and boundedness. The uniqueness of this treatment lies in its integration of the different types of curves, its use of analytic methods, and its generous number of examples, exercises, and illustrations. The result is a practical text, almost entirely self-contained, that not only imparts a deeper understanding of the theory, but inspires a heightened appreciation of geometry and interest in more advanced studies.

An Invitation to the Rogers-Ramanujan Identities (Hardcover): Andrew V. Sills An Invitation to the Rogers-Ramanujan Identities (Hardcover)
Andrew V. Sills
R3,424 Discovery Miles 34 240 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The Rogers--Ramanujan identities are a pair of infinite series-infinite product identities that were first discovered in 1894. Over the past several decades these identities, and identities of similar type, have found applications in number theory, combinatorics, Lie algebra and vertex operator algebra theory, physics (especially statistical mechanics), and computer science (especially algorithmic proof theory). Presented in a coherant and clear way, this will be the first book entirely devoted to the Rogers-Ramanujan identities and will include related historical material that is unavailable elsewhere.

The Structure of Complex Lie Groups (Hardcover): Dong Hoon Lee The Structure of Complex Lie Groups (Hardcover)
Dong Hoon Lee
R5,830 Discovery Miles 58 300 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Complex Lie groups have often been used as auxiliaries in the study of real Lie groups in areas such as differential geometry and representation theory. To date, however, no book has fully explored and developed their structural aspects. The Structure of Complex Lie Groups addresses this need. Self-contained, it begins with general concepts introduced via an almost complex structure on a real Lie group. It then moves to the theory of representative functions of Lie groups- used as a primary tool in subsequent chapters-and discusses the extension problem of representations that is essential for studying the structure of complex Lie groups. This is followed by a discourse on complex analytic groups that carry the structure of affine algebraic groups compatible with their analytic group structure. The author then uses the results of his earlier discussions to determine the observability of subgroups of complex Lie groups. The differences between complex algebraic groups and complex Lie groups are sometimes subtle and it can be difficult to know which aspects of algebraic group theory apply and which must be modified. The Structure of Complex Lie Groups helps clarify those distinctions. Clearly written and well organized, this unique work presents material not found in other books on Lie groups and serves as an outstanding complement to them.

Michiel Hazewinkel, Nadiya M. Gubareni
R4,186 Discovery Miles 41 860 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The theory of algebras, rings, and modules is one of the fundamental domains of modern mathematics. General algebra, more specifically non-commutative algebra, is poised for major advances in the twenty-first century (together with and in interaction with combinatorics), just as topology, analysis, and probability experienced in the twentieth century. This volume is a continuation and an in-depth study, stressing the non-commutative nature of the first two volumes of Algebras, Rings and Modules by M. Hazewinkel, N. Gubareni, and V. V. Kirichenko. It is largely independent of the other volumes. The relevant constructions and results from earlier volumes have been presented in this volume.

The Riemann Hypothesis for Function Fields - Frobenius Flow and Shift Operators (Hardcover, New): Machiel van Frankenhuijsen The Riemann Hypothesis for Function Fields - Frobenius Flow and Shift Operators (Hardcover, New)
Machiel van Frankenhuijsen
R3,272 Discovery Miles 32 720 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book provides a lucid exposition of the connections between non-commutative geometry and the famous Riemann Hypothesis, focusing on the theory of one-dimensional varieties over a finite field. The reader will encounter many important aspects of the theory, such as Bombieri's proof of the Riemann Hypothesis for function fields, along with an explanation of the connections with Nevanlinna theory and non-commutative geometry. The connection with non-commutative geometry is given special attention, with a complete determination of the Weil terms in the explicit formula for the point counting function as a trace of a shift operator on the additive space, and a discussion of how to obtain the explicit formula from the action of the idele class group on the space of adele classes. The exposition is accessible at the graduate level and above, and provides a wealth of motivation for further research in this area.

Primality Testing and Integer Factorization in Public-Key Cryptography (Hardcover, 2nd ed. 2009): Song Y. Yan Primality Testing and Integer Factorization in Public-Key Cryptography (Hardcover, 2nd ed. 2009)
Song Y. Yan
R4,407 Discovery Miles 44 070 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The Primality Testing Problem (PTP) has now proved to be solvable in deterministic polynomial-time (P) by the AKS (Agrawal-Kayal-Saxena) algorithm, whereas the Integer Factorization Problem (IFP) still remains unsolvable in (P). There is still no polynomial-time algorithm for IFP. Many practical public-key cryptosystems and protocols such as RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) rely their security on computational intractability of IFP. Primality Testing and Integer Factorization in Public Key Cryptography, Second Edition, provides a survey of recent progress in primality testing and integer factorization, with implications to factoring based public key cryptography. Notable new features are the comparison of Rabin-Miller probabilistic test in RP, Atkin-Morain elliptic curve test in ZPP and AKS deterministic test. This volume is designed for advanced level students in computer science and mathematics, and as a secondary text or reference book; suitable for practitioners and researchers in industry. First edition was very positively reviewed by Prof Samuel Wagstaff at Purdue University in AMS Mathematical Reviews (See MR2028480 2004j: 11148), and by Professor J.T. Ayuso of University of Simon Bolivar in the European Mathematical Societya (TM)s review journal Zentralblatt fA1/4r Mathematik (see Zbl 1048.11103).

Automorphic Representations and L-Functions for the General Linear Group: Volume 1 (Hardcover): Dorian Goldfeld, Joseph Hundley Automorphic Representations and L-Functions for the General Linear Group: Volume 1 (Hardcover)
Dorian Goldfeld, Joseph Hundley
R3,377 Discovery Miles 33 770 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This graduate-level textbook provides an elementary exposition of the theory of automorphic representations and L-functions for the general linear group in an adelic setting. Definitions are kept to a minimum and repeated when reintroduced so that the book is accessible from any entry point, and with no prior knowledge of representation theory. The book includes concrete examples of global and local representations of GL(n), and presents their associated L-functions. In Volume 1, the theory is developed from first principles for GL(1), then carefully extended to GL(2) with complete detailed proofs of key theorems. Several proofs are presented for the first time, including Jacquet's simple and elegant proof of the tensor product theorem. In Volume 2, the higher rank situation of GL(n) is given a detailed treatment. Containing numerous exercises by Xander Faber, this book will motivate students and researchers to begin working in this fertile field of research.
