By studying the degeneration of abelian varieties with PEL structures, this book explains the compactifications of smooth integral models of all PEL-type Shimura varieties, providing the logical foundation for several exciting recent developments. The book is designed to be accessible to graduate students who have an understanding of schemes and ab

This book introduces the theory of complex surfaces through a comprehensive look at finite covers of the projective plane branched along line arrangements. Paula Tretkoff emphasizes those finite covers that are free quotients of the complex two-dimensional ball. Tretkoff also includes background on the classical Gauss hypergeometric function of one

Spherical trigonometry was at the heart of astronomy and ocean-going navigation for two millennia. This title traces the rich history of this forgotten art, revealing how the cultures of classical Greece, medieval Islam, and the modern West used spherical trigonometry to chart the heavens and the Earth.

Hyperbolic geometry is the star. A strong effort has been made to convey not just denatured formal reasoning, but a living feeling for the subject. There are many figures, examples, and exercises of varying difficulty. This book develops some of the power of geometry in two and three dimensions, and the strong connection of geometry with topology.
