Download Geometry of Cauchy-Riemann Submanifolds by Sorin Dragomir, Mohammad Hasan Shahid, Falleh R. Al-Solamy PDF

By Sorin Dragomir, Mohammad Hasan Shahid, Falleh R. Al-Solamy

This e-book gathers contributions through revered specialists at the conception of isometric immersions among Riemannian manifolds, and specializes in the geometry of CR constructions on submanifolds in Hermitian manifolds. CR buildings are a package deal theoretic recast of the tangential Cauchy–Riemann equations in complicated research regarding numerous complicated variables. The publication covers a variety of themes reminiscent of Sasakian geometry, Kaehler and in the community conformal Kaehler geometry, the tangential CR equations, Lorentzian geometry, holomorphic statistical manifolds, and paraquaternionic CR submanifolds.

Intended as a tribute to Professor Aurel Bejancu, who came across the proposal of a CR submanifold of a Hermitian manifold in 1978, the ebook presents an up to date assessment of a number of issues within the geometry of CR submanifolds. offering unique info at the latest advances within the zone, it represents an invaluable source for mathematicians and physicists alike.

Download Johannes de Tinemue's Redaction of Euclid's Elements, the by H. L. L. Busard PDF

By H. L. L. Busard

Euklids Hauptwerk, die Elemente, gilt als dasjenige wissenschaftliche Werk, das am häufigsten bearbeitet und benutzt wurde; es warfare ueber 2000 Jahre lang nicht nur das mathematische Lehrbuch schlechthin, sondern es beeinfluáte auch die Entwicklung anderer wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen. Das Werk wurde im 12. Jahrhundert aus dem Arabischen ins Lateinische uebersetzt, u.a. von Adelhard von bathtub. Diese Übersetzung wurde der Ausgangspunkt fuer zahlreiche weitere Bearbeitungen, wie die Redaktion, die um 1200 wahrscheinlich von Johannes de Tinemue angefertigt wurde. Campanus, der in den Jahren 1255/59 die fuer Jahrhunderte maágebende Euklid-Ausgabe besorgte, hat diese Redaktion sehr wahrscheinlich auch gekannt. "It is remember the fact that that the well known Euclid editor Busard has back discovered a masterly edition." Mathematical experiences "àBusard's version is critical for our figuring out of excessive medieval arithmetic. " Centaurus.

Download Gems of Geometry by John Barnes PDF

By John Barnes

Based on a chain of lectures for grownup scholars, this energetic and unique ebook proves that, faraway from being a dusty, uninteresting topic, geometry is in truth packed with good looks and fascination. The author's infectious enthusiasm is positioned to exploit in explaining the various key suggestions within the box, beginning with the Golden quantity and taking the reader on a geometric trip through Shapes and Solids, in the course of the Fourth size, completing with Einstein's Theories of Relativity.

Equally compatible as a present for an adolescent or as a nostalgic trip again into the area of arithmetic for older readers, John Barnes' ebook is the precise antidote for a person whose maths classes in class are a resource of painful stories. the place as soon as geometry used to be a resource of misunderstanding and frustration, Barnes brings enlightenment and entertainment.

In this moment variation, influenced via fresh lectures at Oxford, extra fabric and additional illustrations were additional on many issues together with colored Cubes, Chaos and Crystals.

Download Algebra and Geometry by Alan F. Beardon PDF

By Alan F. Beardon

Describing cornerstones of arithmetic, this simple textbook offers a unified method of algebra and geometry. It covers the tips of advanced numbers, scalar and vector items, determinants, linear algebra, crew idea, permutation teams, symmetry teams and features of geometry together with teams of isometries, rotations, and round geometry. The publication emphasises the interactions among subject matters, and every subject is continually illustrated by utilizing it to explain and speak about the others. Many principles are built progressively, with each one element offered at a time whilst its value turns into clearer. to help during this, the textual content is split into brief chapters, every one with workouts on the finish. The similar site good points an HTML model of the e-book, additional textual content at better and reduce degrees, and extra workouts and examples. It additionally hyperlinks to an digital maths word list, giving definitions, examples and hyperlinks either to the publication and to exterior resources.
