Books by Felipe (City University of Hong Kong) Cucker

Felipe Cucker presents a unifying mathematical structure to explore the relationship between mathematics and the arts, including architecture, music, poetry and more. The book emerged from the author's undergraduate course, but requiring only basic high-school knowledge of mathematics it makes a fascinating read for anyone interested in the arts.

The goal of learning theory is to approximate a function from sample values. This is a general overview of the theoretical foundations, and is the first book to emphasize the approximation theory viewpoint. This emphasis provides a balanced approach, and will attract mathematicians to the problems raised.
