Berkovich, Vladimir G. Integration of One-forms on P-adic Analytic Spaces. (AM-162)
Princeton University Press 2006 0691127417 / 9780691127415 Hardcover Fine n/a Hardcover 9.2 x 6.3 x 0.7 inches
New. Fine in publisher's decorated boards. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.Among the many differences between classical and p-adic objects, those related to differential equations occupy a special place. For example, a closed p-adic analytic one-form defined on a simply-connected domain does not necessarily have a primitive in the class of analytic functions. In the early 1980s, Robert Coleman discovered a way to construct primitives of analytic one-forms on certain smooth p-adic analytic curves in a bigger class of functions. Since then, there have been several attempts to generalize his ideas to smooth p-adic analytic spaces of higher dimension, but the spaces considered were invariably associated with algebraic varieties.This book aims to show that every smooth p-adic analytic space is provided with a sheaf of functions that includes all analytic ones and satisfies a uniqueness property. It also contains local primitives of all closed one-forms with coefficients in the sheaf that, in the case considered by Coleman, coincide with those he constructed. In consequence, one constructs a parallel transport of local solutions of a unipotent differential equation and an integral of a closed one-form along a path so that both depend nontrivially on the homotopy class of the path. Both the author's previous results on geometric properties of smooth p-adic analytic spaces and the theory of isocrystals are further developed in this book, which is aimed at graduate students and mathematicians working in the areas of non-Archimedean analytic geometry, number theory, and algebraic geometry. About the Author Vladimir G. Berkovich is Matthew B. Rosenhaus Professor of Mathematics at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel. He is the author of "Spectral Theory and Analytic Geometry over Non-Archimedean Fields".

C. Pozrikidis Numerical Computation in Science and Engineering
Oxford University Press Inc, USA 1998-02-01 0195112539 / 9780195112535 Hardcover Fine n/a Hardcover
New. Fine in publisher's decorated laminated boards. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.Excellent textbook! I would like to use this text in an advanced undergraduate/graduate level course in fluid mechanics."--Michael T. Harris, University of Maryland... "This book discusses the fundamental and practical issues involved in a numerical computation. It illustrates practical implementation of numerical algorithms and presents alternative approaches. The book is geared for upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate courses or self-study." --Applied Mechanics "An excellent text that covers all aspects of computation required to solve engineering problems on computers. The chapters on numerical solutions are particularly good and they cover the latest methodology."--Ralph W. Pike, Louisiana State University ... Designed for non-expert students and researchers, this text provides an accessible introduction to scientific numerical computation and its applications. It assumes no prior knowledge beyond undergraduate calculus and elementary computer programming. Fundamental and practical issues are discussed in a unified manner with a generous, but not excessive, dose of numerical analysis. The topics are introduced on a need to know basis in order to concisely illustrate the practical implementation of a variety of algorithms and to demystify seemingly esoteric numerical methods. Algorithms that can be explained without too much elaboration and implemented within a few dozen lines of computer code are discussed in detail; those whose underlying theories require long, elaborate explanations are discussed at the level of first principles, and references for further information are given. The book uses schematic illustrations to demonstrate concepts and facilitate understanding by providing readers with a helpful interplay between ideas and visual images. Real-world examples, drawn from various branches of science and engineering, are presented in those cases where it would be difficult for readers to produce their own.Drawing a direct connection between numerical analysis and numerical computation, Numerical Computation in Science and Engineering serves as an ideal text for courses in numerical methods and as a supplement in any course involving numerical computation, including fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, control theory, and thermodynamics.

Casti, John L. Five More Golden Rules: Knots, Codes, Choas and Other Great Theories of 20th-century Mathematics
John Wiley & Sons Inc 2000 0471322334 / 9780471322337 Hardcover Near fine Near fine Hardcover
New. Near fine in publisher's cloth in like dust jacket. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.Bring more joy to your favorite math-head with Five More Golden Rules from science writer and national treasure John L. Casti. Though a quick glance through the book will cause an intense fight-or-flight response in the numerophobic, Casti's writing is lovely and lucid as ever, explaining not just equations and theorems but their significance in our lives. Having discovered in Five Golden Rules that he couldn't restrict himself to just five important 20th-century mathematical theories, this follow-up explores the intricacies of knot theory, functional analysis, control theory, chaotic systems, and information theory. Each of the five lively chapters introduces its subject with a seemingly unrelated anecdote that is (of course) informed by the theory in question. Then it's headlong into the wonderful details of postulation and demonstration that make math so much fun. Unlike a textbook, Five More Golden Rules meanders and breaks away from its proofs to discover relations between the symbols and the real world, from the stock market to the coastline of Norway. Besides giving the reader a break, this makes the abstract, almost ethereal concepts concrete and provides a definite advantage to the interested student. Perhaps textbook publishers should take note of this technique; until they do, we'll have to curl up with Casti's Five More Golden Rules if we want to have fun with our higher math. --Rob Lightner ... any reader with a nodding acquaintance with calculus should find the book interesting and informative& -- Mathematika... "...any reader with a nodding acquaintance with calculus should find the book interesting and informative..." (Mathematika) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

"This is a textbook for a second course in undergraduate abstract algebra. … Along the way, certain very interesting results are covered that are not often seen in books at this level … . includes numerous exercises which significantly extend material in the text." (William M. McGovern, SIAM Review, Vol. 47 (2), 2005) ... "The textbook focuses on the structure of fields and is intended for a second course in abstract algebra … The reader will learn about equations, both polynomial and differential … . In explaining these concepts, the author also provides … leads the reader along many interesting paths. … There are exercises at the end of each chapter, varying in degree from easy to difficult. … author has incorporated pictures from the history of mathematics, including scans of mathematical stamps and pictures of mathematicians." (Zentralblatt für Didaktik und Mathematik, February, 2005) ... "This nice volume starts with constructions with ruler and compass and uses these old problems as a peg for field theory, especially for Galois Theory. … it also deals with some mathematical pearls which one cannot find so easily in the textbooks and for which I like this text a lot … . The whole manuscript is written very carefully and can be heartily recommended to students and to teachers as well." (J. Schoissengeier, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 148 (4), 2006) ... ... "The book can … be described as a good second course in abstract algebra focusing on the structure of fields in general and field extensions in particular. … There are many exercises … most of them rather challenging. … it is a well written text which is especially suitable for students about to study abstract algebra seriously." (P. Shiu, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 90 (519), 2006) ...

Christopher Hughes Kripke: Names, Necessity, and Identity
Clarendon Press 2004-01-15 0198241070 / 9780198241072 Hardcover Fine Fine Hardcover
New. Fine in publisher's cloth in like dust jacket. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.A fine piece of work...Hughes's exposition is accurate and sophisticated, and his coverage is more than adequate. ...this is all the Kripke that you need to know about."--London Review of Books Saul Kripke, in a series of classic writings of the 1960s and 1970s, changed the face of metaphysics and philosophy of language. Christopher Hughes offers a careful exposition and critical analysis of Kripke's central ideas about names, necessity, and identity, and in the process makes significant contributions to continuing debates about such topics as modality, essence, natural kinds, and the relation between the mental and the physical. No specialist knowledge in either the philosophy of language or metaphysics is presupposed; Hughes's book will be valuable for anyone working on the ideas which Kripke made famous in the philosophy world.
