Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This open access volume gives a panorama of Shape Computation, exploring its diverse design practices and interdisciplinary applications. Originating in the seminal 1972 article by George Stiny and James Gipsthat introduced shape grammars as a new computational paradigm, Shape Computation challenges traditional notions of visual and symbolic calculation, particularly in art and design.As we mark the 50th anniversary (1972-2022) of Stiny and Gips's essay, this volume reflects on Shape Computation's past, present, and future. While this theory hasflourishedin recent yearsat the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), contributions and applications have come from institutions globally. This approach offers an alternative paradigm for design computing, emphasizing generative descriptions through shapes and rules over symbolic instructions.With examples spanning shape grammars, art, architecture, design theory, and more, this volume provides insights into the evolution and significance of this computational approach. Experts and students will appreciate it as a comprehensive introduction to Shape Computation and a valuable historical reference.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The purpose of this book is to provide an invitation to the beautiful and important subject of ergodic theorems, both classical and modern, which lies at the intersection of many fundamental mathematical disciplines: dynamical systems, probability theory, topology, algebra, number theory, analysis and functional analysis. The book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students as well as non-specialists with basic knowledge of functional analysis, topology and measure theory.Starting from classical ergodic theorems due to von Neumann and Birkhoff, the state-of-the-art of modern ergodic theorems such as subsequential, multiple and weighted ergodic theorems are presented. In particular, two deep connections between ergodic theorems and number theory are discussed: Furstenberg's famous proof of Szemerédi's theorem on existence of arithmetic progressions in large sets of integers, and the Sarnak conjecture on the random behavior of the Möbius function.An extensive list of references to other literature for readers wishing to deepen their knowledge is provided.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The solitaire game 'The Tower of Hanoi' was invented in the 19th century by the French number theorist Édouard Lucas. The book presents its mathematical theory and offers a survey of the historical development from predecessors up to recent research. In addition to long-standing myths, it provides a detailed overview of the essential mathematical facts with complete proofs, and also includes unpublished material, e.g., on some captivating integer sequences. The main objects of research today are the so-called Hanoi graphs and the related Sierpinski graphs. Acknowledging the great popularity of the topic in computer science, algorithms, together with their correctness proofs, form an essential part of the book. In view of the most important practical applications, namely in physics, network theory and cognitive (neuro)psychology, the book also addresses other structures related to the Tower of Hanoi and its variants.The updated second edition includes, for the first time in English, the breakthrough reached with the solution of the 'The Reve's Puzzle' in 2014. This is a special case of the famed Frame-Stewart conjecture which is still open after more than 75 years. Enriched with elaborate illustrations, connections to other puzzles and challenges for the reader in the form of (solved) exercises as well as problems for further exploration, this book is enjoyable reading for students, educators, game enthusiasts and researchers alike.Excerpts from reviews of the first edition:'The book is an unusual, but very welcome, form of mathematical writing: recreational mathematics taken seriously and serious mathematics treated historically. I don't hesitate to recommend this book to students, professional research mathematicians, teachers, and to readers of popular mathematics who enjoy more technical expository detail.'Chris Sangwin, The Mathematical Intelligencer 37(4) (2015) 87f.'The book demonstrates that the Tower of Hanoi has a very rich mathematical structure, and as soon as we tweak the parameters we surprisingly quickly find ourselves in the realm of open problems.'László Kozma, ACM SIGACT News 45(3) (2014) 34ff.'Each time I open the book I discover a renewed interest in the Tower of Hanoi. I am sure that this will be the case for all readers.'Jean-Paul Allouche, Newsletter of the European Mathematical Society 93 (2014) 56.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This award-winning monograph explores advanced topics in harmonic analysis, addressing both classical and contemporary problems. Several connections to number theory, crystallography or atomic theory are also surveyed. The term 'suprematism' refers to a certain geometric point of view underlying proofs and arguments.The opening of the book is dedicated to a few results, with short statements and proofs, that could be called 'mathematical haikus'. Then, in the first part of the book, singular integrals beyond the classical Calderón-Zygmund theory, such as Vitali-type covering lemmas and estimates for the corresponding maximal operators, are explored. The exponential overlapping of parallelepipeds, the strong maximal function, and Zygmund's conjecture about monotonic bases are also covered. The core of this part is devoted to the Kakeya maximal function and its relation to the spherical summation of Fourier series and integrals. The two-dimensional case is well understood, but the case of higher dimensions still presents many open problems and conjectures. The chapters in the second part of the book treat questions at the interface of harmonic analysis and number theory, including applications of the Poisson summation formula to crystallography and arithmetic, estimates of the Minkowski dimension of Riemann graphs, random lattice point problems, and the role of Weyl sums in atomic energy oscillations.With a focus on rigorous research insights for graduate students and researchers in mathematics, this book provides a comprehensive journey through the hidden landscapes of harmonic analysis.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Alexander Grothendieck is often considered one of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century (if not all time), and his unique vision continues to impact and inspire many fields and researchers today. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, this edited volume explores the profound influence his work and ideas have had not only on mathematics, but also on logic and philosophy. Chapters are written by international scholars, and many were inspired by talks given at the conference 'Grothendieck, A Multifarious Giant' at Chapman University (May 24-28, 2022). Some chapters are written from a historical perspective and discuss the development of the main themes that characterized Grothendieck's work. Others are more mathematical in nature, analyzing and extending some of his more relevant and obscure results that are still not well understood. Philosophical implications and applications in logic are the subjects of other chapters. This volume will be of interest not only to mathematicians working in algebraic geometry, category theory, and other areas to which Grothendieck contributed, but also to philosophers, logicians, and historians of science. 528 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This bookprovides an overview of the latest developments concerning the moduli of K3surfaces. It is aimed at algebraic geometers, but is also of interest to numbertheorists and theoretical physicists, and continues the tradition of relatedvolumes like 'The Moduli Space of Curves' and 'Moduli of Abelian Varieties,'which originated from conferences on the islands Texel and Schiermonnikoog andwhich have become classics.K3 surfacesand their moduli form a central topic in algebraic geometry and arithmeticgeometry, and have recently attracted a lot of attention from bothmathematicians and theoretical physicists. Advances in this field often resultfrom mixing sophisticated techniques from algebraic geometry, lattice theorynumber theory, and dynamical systems. The topic has received significantimpetus due to recent breakthroughs on the Tate conjecture, the study ofstability conditions and derived categories, and links with mirror symmetry andstring theory. At the sametime, the theory of irreducible holomorphicsymplectic varieties, the higher dimensional analogues of K3 surfaces, hasbecome a mainstream topic in algebraic geometry.Contributors:S.
