Algebra and Algebraic Geometry

Applied Linear Algebra The Decoupling Principle, Second EditionLorenzo Sadun, University of Texas, Austin, TX

This text for junior and senior under-graduates treats diagonalization as a central tool in solving complicated problems in mathematics, physics and engineering. The theme of decompo-

sition into eigenspaces leads to sensible explanations of both theoretical and applied phenomena. This second edition includes a series of explorations allowing the reader to use technology for a deeper examination of the material.2008; 371 pp.; hardcover; ISBN: 978-0-8218-4441-0; List US$59; AMS members US$47; Order code: MBK/50

Real Analysis Frank Morgan, Williams College, Williamstown, MA

Reading your book is a refreshingly delightful change from the usual emphasis on series, rather than topology, as a foundation of analysis.—Robert Jones, University

of DusseldorfReal Analysis builds the theory behind calculus directly from the basic concepts of real numbers, limits, and open and closed sets in Rn . It gives the three characterizations of continuity: via epsilon-delta, sequences, and open sets. It gives the three characterizations of compactness: as “closed and bounded,” via sequences, and via open covers. Topics include Fourier series, the Gamma function, metric spaces, and Ascoli’s Theorem.The text not only provides efficient proofs, but also shows the student how to come up with them. The excellent exercises come with select solutions in the back. Here is a real analysis text that is short enough for the student to read and understand and complete enough to be the primary text for a serious under-graduate course.2005; 151 pp.; hardcover; ISBN: 978-0-8218-3670-5; List US$41; AMS members US$33; Order code: REAL

Real Analysis and Applications Including Fourier Series and the Calculus of VariationsFrank Morgan, Williams College, Williamstown, MA

Real Analysis and Applications starts with a streamlined, but complete approach to real analysis. It finishes with a wide variety of applications in Fourier series and the calculus of variations, including minimal surfaces, physics, economics, Riemannian geometry, and general relativity. The basic theory includes all the standard topics: limits of sequences, topology, compactness, the Cantor set and fractals, calculus with the Riemann integral, a chapter on the Lebesgue theory, sequences of functions, infinite series, and the exponential and Gamma functions. The applications conclude with a computation of the relativistic precession of Mercury’s orbit, which Einstein called “convincing proof of the correctness of the theory [of General Relativity].”The text not only provides clear, logical proofs, but also shows the student how to come up with them. The excellent exercises come with select solutions in the back. Here is a text which makes it possible to do the full theory and significant applications in one semester.2005; 197 pp.; hardcover; ISBN: 978-0-8218-3841-9; List US$41; AMS members US$33; Order code: REALAPP

Approximately Calculus Shahriar Shahriari, Pomona College, Claremont, CA

This fascinating book is a novel approach to undergraduate analysis, which combines most topics in single variable calculus with some elementary number theory. ... It is very well written and fully engages readers in its developments, often beginning with examples and leading them to develop generalizations and, ultimately, theorems and proofs. ... An attractive book, well worth consulting for ideas on presenting topics, or for examples.

Mathematical Publishing A GuidebookSteven G. Krantz, Washington University, St. Louis, MO

Every mathematician is involved in publishing. Throughout our careers, we are expected to publish our work: in journals, confer-ence proceedings and books. Later, we may be called to serve as an editor for a journal or book series. However, our training is for doing the mathematics, not publishing it. Here, finally, is a guidebook to the publishing of mathematics. It describes both the general setting of mathematical publishing and the specifics of all the various publishing situations a mathematician may encounter.

Geometry and TopologyThe Knot Book An Elementary Introduction to the Mathematical Theory of KnotsColin C. Adams, Williams College, Williamstown, MAFrom reviews of the first edition:

Amazingly understandable … After reading it twice, I still pick it up and scan it … this

book belongs in every mathematical library.—Charles Ashbacher, Book Reviews Editor, Journal of

Recreational Mathematics

Knots are familiar objects. We use them to moor our boats, to wrap our packages, to tie our shoes. Yet the mathematical theory of knots quickly leads to deep results in topology and geometry. The Knot Book is an introduction to this rich theory, starting from our familiar understanding of knots and a bit of college algebra and finishing with exciting topics of current research.The Knot Book is also about the excitement of doing mathematics. Colin Adams engages the reader with fascinating examples, superb figures, and thought-provoking ideas. He also presents the remarkable applications of knot theory to modern chemistry, biology, and physics.
