Considers the so-called Unlikely Intersections, a topic that embraces well-known issues, such as Lang's and Manin-Mumford's, concerning torsion points in subvarieties of tori or abelian varieties. This book considers algebraic subgroups that meet a given subvariety in a set of unlikely dimension.

At the beginning of Europe's turbulent seventeenth century, no one knew how the brain worked. By the century's close, the science of the brain had taken root, helping to overturn many common misconceptions about the human body as well as to unseat centuries-old philosophies of man and God.

Since its introduction by Friedhelm Waldhausen in the 1970s, the algebraic K-theory of spaces has been recognized as the main tool for studying parametrized phenomena in the theory of manifolds. However, a full proof of the equivalence relating the two areas has not appeared until now. This book presents such a proof, essentially completing Waldhau

Addresses the fundamental effects of space on the dynamics of individual species and on the structure, dynamics, diversity, and stability of multispecies communities. This book highlights the importance of space to five topical areas: stability, patterns of diversity, invasions, coexistence, and pattern generation.

Few developments in the intellectual life of the past quarter-century have provoked more controversy than the attempt to engineer human-like intelligence by artificial means. Born of computer science, this effort has sparked a continuing debate among the psychologists, neuroscientists, philosophers,and linguists who have pioneered--and criticized--

This book provides the scientific underpinning for the Greeks' philosophy of "do no harm to any animal, human or not," by examining paediatrics, diseases of the brain, new surgical techniques, in vitro research, the human genome and proteome projects.

Pure and applied mathematicians, physicists, scientists, and engineers use matrices and operators and their eigenvalues in quantum mechanics, fluid mechanics, structural analysis, acoustics, ecology, numerical analysis, and many other areas. This is the work on nonnormal matrices and operators.

Analyzes theoretical and empirical work on insect sperm competition. This work considers both male and female interests in sperm utilization and the sexual conflict that can arise when these differ. It covers the mechanics of sperm transfer and utilization, morphology, physiology, and behavior.

(Paperback)

Proves an analogue of Thurston's celebrated hyperbolic Dehn surgery theorem in the context of complex hyperbolic discrete groups, and then derives two main geometric consequences from it. This book is suitable for graduate students interested in this area of research, as well as researchers in allied fields such as Kleinian groups and CR geometry.

Spiders In My House is a 1 through 10 very clever rhyming counting book for very young children. The pages are filled with silly and colorful pictures of various spiders one might find throughout their house in early Spring.

The concepts of a spin manifold, spinor fields, Dirac operators, and A-genera are presented comprehensively in this book. It also features the development of the theory of Cl-linear elliptic operators and the associated index theorem, which connects certain subtle spin-corbordism invariants to classical questions in geometry.

Spokes 1: The Science of Existence surveys the cosmos (cosmogony, cosmology, astrophysics) and explains physics (Newtonian and modern, including relativity and quantum mechanics), Earth science, chemistry, the origin of life (abiogenesis), cell biology (cytology), and genetics. Spokes 1 presents core concepts concisely and understandably. Go to IshiNobu.com for more information.

What makes populations stabilize What makes them fluctuate Are populations in complex ecosystems more stable than populations in simple ecosystems This text addresses these questions and introduces non-linear mathematical models and the study of deterministic chaos into ecology.

(Hardback)

Develops a general stability analysis and control design framework for nonlinear large-scale interconnected dynamical systems, and presents a treatment on vector Lyapunov function methods, vector dissipativity theory, and decentralized control architectures.

(Hardback)

Covers stability and stabilization of equilibria for both linear and nonlinear time-invariant systems of ordinary differential equations. Suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the sciences, engineering, and mathematics, this book takes a modern approach that bridges the gap between linear and nonlinear systems.

(Paperback)

Examines theories of population stability and shows how laboratory research on model populations - particularly blowflies, Tribolium, and Drosophila - contributes to our understanding of population dynamics and the evolution of stability. This book analyzes techniques for inferring whether a given population is in balance or not.
