For freshman/sophomore-level courses treating calculus of both one and several variables.While it covers all the material needed by students in engineering, science, and mathematics, this calculus text remains the shortest mainstream calculus book available-ideal for instructors who want a no-nonsense, concisely written text. The authors make effective use of computing technology, graphics, and applications. At least two technology projects are presented in each chapter. This popular book is acc...

A textbook for second-year graduate students who are familiar with algebraic topology, function theory, and elementary differential geometry. The collection of seminar notes constitutes an introduction to complex algebraic geometry, focusing on its transcendental aspect. Annotation copyright Book Ne

The wide-ranging debate brought about by the calculus reform movement has had a significant impact on textbooks. In response to many of the questions and concerns surrounding this debate, the authors have written a modern calculus textbook for students majoring in mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering and related fields. The text is aimed at the average student who does not already know the subject, whose background is somewhat weak in some areas, and who needs a significant motivation to...

Decomposable sets since T. R. Rockafellar in 1968 are one of basic notions in nonlinear analysis, especially in the theory of multifunctions. A subset K of measurable functions is called decomposable if (Q) for all and measurable A. This book attempts to show the present stage of "decomposable analysis" from the point of view of fixed point theory. The book is split into three parts, beginning with the background of functional analysis, proceeding to the theory of multifunctions and lastly, t...

The demand for more reliable geometric computing in robotics, computer vision and graphics has revitalized many venerable algebraic subjects in mathematics - among them, Grassmann-Cayley algebra and Geometric Algebra. Nowadays, they are used as powerful languages for projective, Euclidean and other classical geometries.This book contains the author and his collaborators' most recent, original development of Grassmann-Cayley algebra and Geometric Algebra and their applications in automated reason...

While Teach Yourself Calculus is perfect for beginners who want to acquire a working knowledge of calculus, at the same time it is an excellent tool for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge beyond the basics. In a progressive, step-by-step fashion, the book builds from the ground up to offer comprehensive coverage of a range of more advanced topics such as multiple integrals. Each chapter features numerous worked examples and graded exercises.

Diagram geometry provides a range of techniques that enable an interaction between group theory and geometry. These techniques allow the mathematician to get information on a multi-dimensional geometric object from some knowledge of its bi-dimensional properties. This book introduces these techniques and provides a survey of the development of the subject of diagram geometry. The first three chapters are descriptive; a number of examples are presented, basic concepts are explained, and the re...

This monograph presents theoretical methods involving the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman formalism in conjunction with set-valued techniques of nonlinear analysis to solve significant problems in dynamics and control. The emphasis is on issues of reachability, feedback control synthesis under complex state constraints, hard or double bounds on controls, and performance in finite time. Guaranteed state estimation, output feedback control, and hybrid dynamics are also discussed. Although the focus is on...

This is the sixth published volume of the Israel Seminar on Geometric Aspects of Functional Analysis. The previous volumes are 1983-84 published privately by Tel Aviv University 1985-86 Springer Lecture Notes, Vol. 1267 1986-87 Springer Lecture Notes, Vol. 1317 1987-88 Springer Lecture Notes, Vol. 1376 1989-90 Springer Lecture Notes, Vol. 1469 As in the previous vC!lumes the central subject of -this volume is Banach space theory in its various aspects. In view of the spectacular development in i...

The goal of this book is to explain, at the graduate student level, how tropical geometry can be accessed via geometric combinatorics. This way the book offers a viable path to a topic of very active research. At the same time the reader learns how a number of seemingly unrelated combinatorial results fall into place, once viewed through the "tropical lens". No attempt is made to cover the entire field of tropical geometry, which has been evolving too rapidly anyway to be covered by a book so sm...
