(Paperback)

Includes fifteen articles which focus on the developments in complex analysis. This work covers a spectrum of research using the methods of partial differential equations as well as differential and algebraic geometry. It covers topics that include invariants of manifolds, the complex Neumann problem, complex dynamics, Ricci flows, and more.

(Paperback)

A study of the generating functions constructed from special cycles, both divisors and zero-cycles, on the arithmetic surface "M" attached to a Shimura curve "M" over the field of rational numbers.

(Paperback)

Experts from diverse fields, including artificial life, cognitive science, economics, developmental and evolutionary biology, and the arts, discuss modularity.

(Paperback)

Through an integration of systematics, genetics, and related disciplines, the Modern Synthesis of Evolutionary Biology came into being over fifty years ago. Knowledge of evolution has since been transformed by several revolutions: the way we interpret the fossil record has been radically affected by theories of continental drift and asteroid impact

Develops techniques based on two ingredients: the theory of perverse sheaves and Larsen's Alternative. These techniques are then used to calculate the geometric monodromy groups attached to some specific universal families of (L-functions attached to) character sums over finite fields.

Tracking these great and terrible beasts through the toughest terrain in the world, Quammen is equally intrigued by the traditional relationship between the great predators and the people who live among them, and weaves into his story the fears and myths that have haunted humankind for 3000 years.

A ground-breaking book that will do for morality what THE LANGUAGE INSTINCT did for language.

(Paperback)

Presents articles which are based on invited talks presented at a conference honoring Nobel laureate Philip W Anderson of Princeton University, who coined the phrase "More is different". This title covers numerous topics under the umbrellas of superconductivity, superfluidity, magnetism, electron localization, and interacting electronic systems.

(Paperback)

Draws from many diverse fields of theoretical physics to present problems in which the answer differs from what our intuition had led us to expect. This book is suitable for both graduate students and their teachers.

Since the middle of the 19th century, debates over evolution have occurred almost non-stop. This resource provides synopses of various major persons, organisations and places involved in the long history of the evolution-creationism controversies.

One classical application of Morse theory includes the attempt to understand, with only limited information, the large-scale structure of an object. This kind of problem occurs in mathematical physics, dynamic systems, and mechanical engineering. This book offers an exposition of Morse theory by John Milnor, recipient of the Fields Medal in 1962.

(Paperback)

This book develops a new theory of multi-parameter singular integrals associated with Carnot-Caratheodory balls. Brian Street first details the classical theory of Calderon-Zygmund singular integrals and applications to linear partial differential equations. He then outlines the theory of multi-parameter Carnot-Caratheodory geometry, where the main

This is the first book-length treatment of mathematical models of muscle functions. Although physiologists, biophysicists, and bioengineers often mention these models, particularly the important Huxley models, Thomas A. McMahon is the first completely to explain them.

Combines ancient mythology and modern mathematics. This book offers helpful hints and complete solutions, and the appendixes include a brief history of the Hercules tale, and a review of mathematics.

(Paperback)

How might Hercules, the most famous of the Greek heroes, have used mathematics to complete his astonishing Twelve Labors From conquering the Nemean Lion and cleaning out the Augean Stables, to capturing the Erymanthean Boar and entering the Underworld to defeat the three-headed dog Cerberus, Hercules and his legend are the inspiration for this boo
