Hardback. Condizione: New. Mathematicians delight in finding surprising connections between seemingly disparate areas of mathematics. Whole domains of modern mathematics have arisen from exploration of such connections--consider analytic number theory or algebraic topology. Finding Ellipses is a delight-filled romp across a three-way unexpected connection between complex analysis, linear algebra, and projective geometry.The book begins with Blaschke products, complex-analytic functions that are generalizations of disk automorphisms. In the analysis of Blaschke products, we encounter, in a quite natural way, an ellipse inside the unit disk. The story continues by introducing the reader to Poncelet's theorem--a beautiful result in projective geometry that ties together two conics and, in particular, two ellipses, one circumscribed by a polygon that is inscribed in the second. The Blaschke ellipse and the Poncelet ellipse turn out to be the same ellipse, and the connection is illuminated by considering the numerical range of a $2 \times 2$ matrix. The numerical range is a convex subset of the complex plane that contains information about the geometry of the transformation represented by a matrix. Through the numerical range of $n \times n$ matrices, we learn more about the interplay between Poncelet's theorem and Blaschke products.The story ranges widely over analysis, algebra, and geometry, and the exposition of the deep and surprising connections is lucid and compelling. Written for advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students, this book would be the perfect vehicle for an invigorating and enlightening capstone exploration. The exercises and collection of extensive projects could be used as an embarkation point for a satisfying and rich research project.You are invited to read actively using the accompanying interactive website, which allows you to visualize the concepts in the book, experiment, and develop original conjectures.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The letters of Monsignor Firmin M. Schmidt are a firsthand account of the experiences of an administrator of a Capuchin Franciscan mission in the early 1960s. Written almost sixty years ago to Mary C. Schmidt, his sister, the letters offer a singular perspective regarding missionary work in the New Guinea Highlands. Letters to Mary: A Missionary Writes Home from New Guinea, 1959-1963 presents a selection of fifty-five of the many letters he wrote to Mary. Having served as a priest of the Order of Friars Minor (OFM), Capuchin, Fr. Firmin M. Schmidt was ordained a Monsignor and appointed the head of the Capuchin Franciscan Mission in Papua New Guinea in 1959, spending thirty-six years administering the Mission. The Papuan Highlands were among the last places on earth to be subject to the influences of Europeans, with parts opened up by Australians only after World War II. The letters provide information about the numerous challenges facing the head of a Catholic mission in the Highlands, including staffing, travel in mountainous terrain to outstations, being accessible only by air, etc. The letters also tell about his new experiences with the Papuans, including details about their culture. In addition to the letters, the book provides an introduction that tells of Msgr. Firmin's family background and education. In addition, three appendices follow the letters: an account of the founding of the Capuchin Franciscan Mission in Papua, anthropological information about the culture of the Papuans, and a brief history of European contact/colonization in Papua.…
