Teaches how simple mathematics can help formulate and solve real problems of research interest in a range of fields, including biology, ecology, computer science, geophysics, engineering, and the social sciences. This book also includes traditional modeling topics such as predator-prey interaction, harvesting, and wars of attrition.

There is a well-known correspondence between the objects of algebra and geometry: a space gives rise to a function algebra; a vector bundle over the space corresponds to a projective module over this algebra; cohomology can be read off the de Rham complex; and so on. In this book Yuri Manin addresses a variety of instances in which the application

A study of the properties of manysided figures and their ability to deform, twist, and stretch without changing their shape. It offers an in-depth introduction to the field, providing explanations of what would today be considered the basic tools of algebraic topology.

Topological analysis consists of those basic theorems of analysis which are essentially topological in character, developed and proved entirely by topological and pseudotopological methods. The objective of this volume is the promotion, encouragement, and stimulation of the interaction between topology and analysis-to the benefit of both. Original

One of the great achievements of contemporary mathematics is the new understanding of four dimensions. Michael Freedman and Frank Quinn have been the principals in the geometric and topological development of this subject, proving the Poincar and Annulus conjectures respectively. Recognition for this work includes the award of the Fields Medal of t

During the summer of 1965, an informal seminar in geometric topology was held at the University of Wisconsin under the direction of Professor Bing. Twenty-five of these lectures are included in this study, among them Professor Bing's lecture describing the recent attacks of Haken and Poincare on the Poincare conjectures, and sketching a proof of Haken's main result.

Takes the reader from the late nineteenth century to the aftermath of Abu Ghraib, from slavery and the electric chair to electrotorture in American inner cities, and from French and British colonial prison cells and the Spanish-American War to the fields of Vietnam, the wars of the Middle East, and the democracies of Latin America and Europe.

Eclipses have captured attention and sparked curiosity about the cosmos since the first appearance of humankind. Having been blamed for everything from natural disasters to the fall of kings, they are now invaluable tools for understanding many celestial as well as terrestrial phenomena. This clear, easy-to-understand guide explains what causes tot

Derek Phillips presents a strong case for the importance of normative theories about the just social organization of society. Most sociologists urge the avoidance of value judgments, but Professor Phillips argues for a notion of a just social order that reflects a twin concern with explanatory and normative thinking. Originally published in 1986.
