This is a short text in linear algebra, intended for a one-term course. He then starts with a discussion of linear equations, matrices and Gaussian elimination, and proceeds to discuss vector spaces, linear maps, scalar products, determinants, and eigenvalues.
Outlines an elementary, one semester course, which exposes students to both the process of rigor, and the rewards inherent in taking an axiomatic approach to the study of functions of a real variable. This book focuses on questions which give analysis its inherent fascination.
This book begins with an exposition of the basic theory of vector spaces and proceeds to explain the fundamental structure theorem for linear maps, including eigenvectors and eigenvalues, quadratic and hermitian forms, diagnolization of symmetric, hermitian, and unitary linear maps and matrices, triangulation, and Jordan canonical form.
It is Pure Mathematics, and it is sure to appeal to the budding pure mathematician. In this new introduction to undergraduate real analysis the author takes a different approach from past studies of the subject, by stressing the importance of pictures in mathematics and hard problems.
" Our goals, like those of the other books in the series, are to explain connections and common viewpoints between various mathematical areas, to emphasize the motivation for studying certain prob lem areas, and to present the historical development of our subject.
This book develops the theory of multivariable analysis, building on the single variable foundations established in the companion volume, Real Analysis: Foundations and Functions of One Variable.
Written to accompany a one- or two-semester course, this text combines rigor and wit to cover a plethora of topics from integers to uncountable sets. It teaches methods such as axiom, theorem, and proof through the mathematics rather than in abstract isolation.
This best-selling textbook for a second course in linear algebra is aimed at undergrad math majors and graduate students. The text focuses on the central goal of linear algebra: understanding the structure of linear operators on finite-dimensional vector spaces.
This book clearly explains the important theorems of single variable calculus. It includes an elementary introduction to complex numbers and complex-valued functions, key applications of calculus, and an introduction to probability and information theory.
For three decades, this classic has been a must-have textbook for transitional courses from calculus to analysis, celebrated for its clear style and simple proofs. This edition adds material on the irrationality of pi, the Baire category theorem and more.
This updated and revised second edition is designed to help students advance from basic calculus to higher-level linear and abstract algebra and number theory. It introduces an array of fundamental structures and shows how to balance intuition and rigor.
This self-contained introduction to modern cryptography emphasizes the mathematics behind the theory of public key cryptosystems and digital signature schemes. The book focuses on these key topics. It includes exercises and examples at the end of each section.
yet it provides coverage of the main topics usually studied in the standard course, as well as an introduction to using computer algebra packages to solve and understand partial differential equations.For the 3rd edition the section on numerical methods has been considerably expanded to reflect their central role in PDE's.
This concise, up-to-date textbook is designed for the standard sophomore course in differential equations. The basic ideas, models, and solution methods are presented in a user friendly format that is accessible to engineers, scientists, economists, and mathematics majors.
Concentrates on how to make predictions about the numbers of each kind of basic state of a quantum system from only two ingredients: the symmetry and linear model of quantum mechanics.
Intended as a rigorous first course, the book introduces and develops the various axioms slowly, and then, in a departure from other texts, continually illustrates the major definitions and axioms with two or three models, enabling the reader to picture the idea more clearly.
This introduction to first-order logic clearly works out the role of first-order logic in the foundations of mathematics, particularly the two basic questions of the range of the axiomatic method and of theorem-proving by machines.
"This book is the first volume of a two-volume textbook for undergraduates and is indeed the crystallization of a course offered by the author at the California Institute of Technology to undergraduates without any previous knowledge of number theory.
The authors' novel approach to some interesting mathematical concepts - not normally taught in other courses - places them in a historical and philosophical setting.
Covers various basic topics in calculus of several variables, including vectors, curves, functions of several variables, gradient, tangent plane, maxima and minima, potential functions, curve integrals, Green's theorem, multiple integrals, surface integrals, Stokes' theorem, and the inverse mapping theorem and its consequences.
Linear Programming and Its Applications is intended for a first course in linear programming, preferably in the sophomore or junior year of the typical undergraduate curriculum.
This popular and successful text was originally written for a one-semester course in linear algebra at the sophomore undergraduate level. A compact, but mathematically clean introduction to linear algebra with particular emphasis on topics in abstract algebra, the theory of differential equations, and group representation theory.
An introduction to the variational methods used to formulate and solve mathematical and physical problems, allowing the reader an insight into the systematic use of elementary (partial) convexity of differentiable functions in Euclidian space.
The first edition (94301-3) was published in 1995 in TIMS and had 2264 regular US sales, 928 IC, and 679 bulk. This new edition updates the text to Mathematica 5.0 and offers a more extensive treatment of linear algebra. It has been thoroughly revised and corrected throughout.
Hermann Minkowski recast special relativity as essentially a new geometric structure for spacetime. This book looks at the ideas of both Einstein and Minkowski, and then introduces the theory of frames, surfaces and intrinsic geometry, developing the main implications of Einstein's general relativity theory.
The purpose of this book is to revive some of the beautiful results obtained by various geometers of the 19th century, and to give its readers a taste of concrete algebraic geometry.
Conics and Cubics offers an accessible and well illustrated introduction to algebraic curves. By classifying irreducible cubics over the real numbers and proving that their points form Abelian groups, the book gives readers easy access to the study of elliptic curves.
