Brings together a number of lectures given between 1993 and 1999 as part of a series hosted by the Federal University of Pernambuco, in which researchers came to Recife, Brazil, to lecture on classical or celestial mechanics. This work is aimed at graduate students and researchers interested in Hamiltonian dynamics and celestial mechanics.

In this book, the author introduces classical logic alongside constructive, relevant, comparative, and other nonclassical logics. It begins with brief introductions to informal set theory and general topology, and avoids advanced algebra; thus it is self-contained and suitable for readers with little background in mathematics.

Relates the systems of mathematical logic to their original motivations to formalize reasoning in mathematics. This book also shows how mathematical logic can be used to formalize particular systems of mathematics. It sets out the formalization not only of arithmetic, but also of group theory, field theory, and linear orderings.

The term "classical" is used to describe everything from the poems of Homer to entire periods of Greek and Roman antiquity. But just how did the concept evolve This collection of essays by leading classics scholars from the United States and Europe challenges the limits of the understanding of the term.

Provides the means to master gauge field theory prior to the advanced study of quantum mechanics. This book begins with the basic concepts on which gauge field theory is built. It introduces gauge-invariant Lagrangians and describes the spectra of linear perturbations, including perturbations above nontrivial ground states.

The theory of games, first given a rigorous formulation by von Neumann in 1928, is a subfield of mathematics and economics that models situations in which individuals compete and cooperate with each other. This book assembles the fundamental contributions in this field. It is useful for researchers in game theory and for students.

In the earlier monograph Pseudo-reductive Groups, Brian Conrad, Ofer Gabber, and Gopal Prasad explored the general structure of pseudo-reductive groups. In this new book, Classification of Pseudo-reductive Groups, Conrad and Prasad go further to study the classification over an arbitrary field. An isomorphism theorem proved here determines the auto

In 1970, Phillip Griffiths envisioned that points at infinity could be added to the classifying space D of polarized Hodge structures. This book realizes this by creating a logarithmic Hodge theory. It uses the logarithmic structures begun by Fontaine-Illusie to revive nilpotent orbits as a logarithmic Hodge structure.

Presents a comprehensive analysis of one of the significant thinkers of modern Europe. This book combines social and military history and psychological interpretation with a study of Clausewitz's military theories and of his unduly neglected historical and political writing. It is useful for anyone interested in Clausewitz and his theories.

How does life on our planet respond to--and shape--climate This question has never been more urgent than it is today, when humans are faced with the daunting task of guiding adaptation to an inexorably changing climate. This concise, accessible, and authoritative book provides an unmatched introduction to the most reliable current knowledge about

The effect of climate on historical change represents an exciting frontier for reading and research. In this volume scholars contribute to an area of interdisciplinary study which has not been systematically explored by climatologists and historians working together. Originally published in 1981.

Suitable for any science or engineering student who has completed two semesters of calculus and one semester of calculus-based physics, this book describes the climate system based on observations of the mean climate state and its variability. It explains how the climate system works and why the climate is changing.
