Few books on Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) have the elegant geometric insight of this one, which puts emphasis on the qualitative and geometric properties of ODEs and their solutions, rather than on routine presentation of algorithms.

Outer billiards is a basic dynamical system defined relative to a convex shape in the plane. B H Neumann introduced this system in the 1950s, and J Moser popularized it as a toy model for celestial mechanics. All along, the Moser-Neumann question has been one of the central problems in the field. This title offers solution to the problem.

A monograph that associates p-adic period domains to arbitrary reductive groups. Using the concept of rigid-analytic period maps, it investigates the relation of p-adic period domains to moduli space of p-divisible groups. It also establishes non-archimedean uniformization theorems for general Shimura varieties.

Examines how advances in philosophy were led by scientific discoveries - the more humankind understood about the physical world, the more curious we became. Drawing on work by Descartes, Galileo, Hume, Kant, Leibniz, and Newton, this book helps readers understand science through the lens of philosophy.

This book is meant to give an account of recent developments in the theory of Plateau's problem for parametric minimal surfaces and surfaces of prescribed constant mean curvature ("H-surfaces") and its analytical framework. A comprehensive overview of the classical existence and regularity theory for disc-type minimal and H-surfaces is given and re

Traces the growth of mathematical modernism from its roots in problem solving and theory to its interactions with physics, philosophy, theology, psychology, and ideas about real and artificial languages. This book is suitable for mathematicians and historians.

This work looks at polyominoes, invented by Solomon Golomb, which have contributed to the study of combinatorial geometry and tiling theory. This work takes readers on a mathematical journey through the world of the polyomino.

This book represents the first synthesis of the considerable body of new research into positive definite matrices. These matrices play the same role in noncommutative analysis as positive real numbers do in classical analysis. They have theoretical and computational uses across a broad spectrum of disciplines, including calculus, electrical enginee

This book develops arithmetic without the induction principle, working in theories that are interpretable in Raphael Robinson's theory Q. Certain inductive formulas, the bounded ones, are interpretable in Q. A mathematically strong, but logically very weak, predicative arithmetic is constructed. Originally published in 1986. The Princeton Legacy

Seeks to describe the development in recent decades of sieve methods able to detect prime numbers. This work covers topics such as; primes in short intervals, the greatest prime factor of the sequence of shifted primes, Goldbach numbers in short intervals, the distribution of Gaussian primes, and the recent work of John Friedlander, and Iwaniec.

Offers a modern and authoritative treatment of the mathematical processes that underlie performance modeling. This book looks at the fundamentals of probability theory, from the basic concepts of set-based probability, through probability distributions, to bounds, limit theorems, and the laws of large numbers.

Through a set of lively anecdotes and essays, Nathaniel Borenstein traces the divergence between the fields of software engineering and user-centered software design, and attempts to reconcile the needs of people in both camps. Originally published in 1991. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make avai
