Topological Theory of Dynamical Systems: Recent Advances (repost)

Topological Theory of Dynamical Systems: Recent Advances By N. Aoki, K. Hiraide
English | 1994 | 424 Pages | ISBN: 0444899170 | PDF | 16 MB
This monograph aims to provide an advanced account of some aspects of dynamical systems in the framework of general topology, and is intended for use by interested graduate students and working mathematicians.

Although some of the topics discussed are relatively new, others are not: this book is not a collection of research papers, but a textbook to present recent developments of the theory that could be the foundations for future developments.
This book contains a new theory developed by the authors to deal with problems occurring in diffentiable dynamics that are within the scope of general topology. To follow it, the book provides an adequate foundation for topological theory of dynamical systems, and contains tools which are sufficiently powerful throughout the book.

Graduate students (and some undergraduates) with sufficient knowledge of basic general topology, basic topological dynamics, and basic algebraic topology will find little difficulty in reading this book.

Foxe's 'Book of Martyrs' and Early Modern Print Culture (repost)

Foxe's 'Book of Martyrs' and Early Modern Print Culture By John N. King
English | 2006 | 351 Pages | ISBN: 0521863813 | PDF | 8,3 MB
Second only to the Bible, John Foxe's Acts and Monuments, known as the Book of Martyrs, was the most influential book published in England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

The most complex and best illustrated English book of its time, it recounted in detail the experiences of hundreds of people who were burnt alive for their religious beliefs. John N. King offers the most comprehensive investigation yet of the compilation, printing, publication, illustration, and reception of the Book of Martyrs. He charts its reception across different editions by learned and unlearned, sympathetic and antagonistic readers. The many illustrations included here, most of which are reproduced for the first time, introduce readers to the visual features of early printed books and general printing practices both in England and continental Europe, and enhance this important contribution to early modern literary studies, cultural and religious history, and the history of the book.

Morphometric Tools for Landmark Data: Geometry and Biology (repost)

Morphometric Tools for Landmark Data: Geometry and Biology By Fred L. Bookstein
English | 1992 | 455 Pages | ISBN: 0521383854 | PDF | 10,2 MB
Morphometrics is the statistical study of biological shape and shape change. Its richest data are landmarks, points, such as the bridge of the nose, that have biological names as well as geometric locations. This book is the first systematic survey of morphometric methods for landmark data.

A Century of Mathematics in America, Part 1 (History of Mathematics, Vol. 1) (repost)

A Century of Mathematics in America, Part 1 (History of Mathematics, Vol. 1) By Peter Duren, Uta C. Merzbach
English | 1988 | 477 Pages | ISBN: 0821801244 | PDF | 8,1 MB
In the year 1888, Thomas S. Fiske and some of his colleagues at Columbia University founded the New York Mathematical Society. As the organization grew to national scope, the name was changed in 1894 to the American Mathematical Society.
Since that time, the Society has grown to represent a large and diverse group of mathematicians and to exert a strong influence on the progress of mathematical research throughout the world.

Observing the approach of the Centennial year, the AMS Committee on the Publication Program decided to mark the occasion with the publication of appropriate historical materials. The Committee on History of Mathematics
was appointed to organize and oversee the collection of suitable materials, and to continue a program of publication of mathematical history beyond the Centennial year. The members of the latter committee were Peter Duren (Chairman), Richard Askey, Bruno Harris, and Uta Merzbach.

Game Theory (repost)

Game Theory By Guillermo Owen
English | 1995 | 460 Pages | ISBN: 0125311516 | DJVU | 3,8 MB
Game Theory has served as a standard text for game theory courses since the publication of the First Edition in 1968. The Third Edition updates several recently developed subfields. It adds fresh chapters on subjects such as games with incomplete information and spatial games.

Owen has expanded "Two-Person General-Sum Games" into two chapters, the second becoming "Two-Person Cooperative Games." There are new sections in the chapters "Two-Person Cooperative Games" and "Indices of Power," and there is new information throughout the book on non-cooperative games. Game Theory remains the only book to cover all salient aspects of this field that, having displaced Keynesian economics, is making inroads throughout the social sciences.

Key Features
• Explains work of 1994 Nobel Prize Winners
• Full expansion of cooperative game theory sections
• Covers games with incomplete information
• Spatial games section features many illustrations
• Updated bibliography
