(Paperback)

Offers an introduction to the mathematical discipline known as the Theory of Games. This book opens by addressing 'matrix games'. It continues with a treatment of games in extensive form and also deals with games that have an infinite number of pure strategies for the two players. It features examples and exercises, and various historical notes.

As the title indicates, the content of these notes is a lengthy construction of techniques devised to study specific differential geometric problems. In this introduction we state our main objectives and illustrate by examples some of their geometric implications.

(Paperback)

Starting with the elementary theory of Lie groups of matrices, this book arrives at the definition, elementary properties, and first applications of cohomological induction. It is based on a one-semester course given at the State University of New York, Stony Brook in fall, 1986.

The description for this book, Linear Inequalities and Related Systems. (AM-38), will be forthcoming.

(Paperback)

In real-world problems related to finance, business, and management, mathematicians and economists frequently encounter optimization problems. This book develops linear programming methods for their solutions. It introduces the basic theory of linear inequalities and describes the simplex method used to solve them.

Random matrix theory, both as an application and as a theory, has evolved rapidly over the years. This title chronicles these developments, emphasizing log-gases as a physical picture. It covers topics such as beta ensembles and Jack polynomials. It develops the application and theory of Gaussian and circular ensembles of random matrix theory.

(Paperback)

Offers an account of Kiyosi Ito's program. This book offers an account of integral curves on the space of probability measures. It provides a systematic development of Ito's theory of stochastic integration: first for Brownian motion and then for continuous martingales.

(Paperback)

A collection of papers on mathematical aspects of nonlinear dispersive equations, including both expository and technical papers that reflect a number of advances in the field. The expository papers describe the state of the art and research directions. The technical papers concentrate on a specific problem and the related analysis.

(Hardback)

Develops a theory of mathematics as a multi-semiotic discourse from the perspective of M.A.K. Halliday's systemic functional linguistics.

(Paperback)

In this classic of statistical mathematical theory, Harald Cramer joins the two major lines of development in the field: while British and American statisticians were developing the science of statistical inference, French and Russian probabilitists transformed the classical calculus of probability into a rigorous and pure mathematical theory.

(Paperback)

The emigration of mathematicians from Europe during the Nazi era signaled an irrevocable and important historical shift for the international mathematics world. This book presents an account of this exodus. It describes the flight of more than 140 mathematicians, their reasons for leaving, and the political and economic issues involved.

(Paperback)

Contrary to popular belief--and despite the expulsion, emigration, or death of many German mathematicians--substantial mathematics was produced in Germany during 1933-1945. In this landmark social history of the mathematics community in Nazi Germany, Sanford Segal examines how the Nazi years affected the personal and academic lives of those German

(Paperback)

Explains how to become a 'good guesser'. This work explores techniques of guessing, inductive reasoning, and reasoning by analogy, and the role they play in the most rigorous of deductive disciplines.

Explains how to become a "good guesser." This two-volume work explores techniques of guessing, inductive reasoning, and reasoning by analogy, and the role they play in the most rigorous of deductive disciplines.

(Paperback)

Presenting mathematical ideas of people from a variety of small-scale and traditional cultures, this book humanizes our view of mathematics and expands our conception of what is mathematical. It demonstrates that traditional cultures have mathematical ideas that are far more substantial and sophisticated than is generally acknowledged.

(Hardback)

Traces the origins and development of mathematics in the ancient Middle East, from its earliest beginnings in the fourth millennium BCE to the end of indigenous intellectual culture in the second century BCE when cuneiform writing was gradually abandoned.

(Paperback)

The formulation, analysis, and re-evaluation of mathematical models in population biology has become a valuable source of insight to mathematicians and biologists alike. This book presents an overview and selected sample of these results and ideas, organized by biological theme rather than mathematical concept.
