This calculus textbook aims to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of derivatives and integrals, balancing accessibility with necessary technical exercises. It is designed for beginners rather than advanced mathematicians, providing a pleasant learning experience while maintaining essential rigor in the subject matter.
Based on the work in algebraic geometry by Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel (1802–29), this monograph was originally published in 1959 and reprinted later in author Serge Lang's career without revision. The treatment remains a basic advanced text in its field, suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in mathematics. Prerequisites include some background in elementary qualitative algebraic geometry and the elementary theory of algebraic groups. The book focuses exclusively on Abelian varieties rather than the broader field of algebraic groups; therefore, the first chapter presents all the general results on algebraic groups relevant to this treatment. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction and concludes with a historical and bibliographical note. Topics include general theorems on Abelian varieties, the theorem of the square, divisor classes on an Abelian variety, functorial formulas, the Picard variety of an arbitrary variety, the I-adic representations, and algebraic systems of Abelian varieties. The text concludes with a helpful Appendix covering the composition of correspondences.
Focusing on Diophantine approximations, this book explores three key aspects: the formal connections between counting processes and relevant functions, the identification of these functions for classical numbers, and specific asymptotic estimates that are valid in almost all cases. Through significant examples, it aims to deepen understanding of these mathematical concepts and their interrelationships.
Focusing on the infinite dimensional representation theory of semisimple Lie groups, this book specifically examines SL2(R). It highlights the importance of this area in relation to fields like number theory, particularly through Langlands' work. The text aims to simplify the complexities of representation theory, which has evolved rapidly, making it challenging for newcomers. With only basic prerequisites in real analysis and differential equations, it is designed to be accessible to a broad audience, facilitating entry into this advanced subject.
This concise linear algebra text is designed for a one-term course. It explores the connection between geometry and algebra, starting with linear equations and matrices, then covering vector spaces, linear maps, scalar products, determinants, and eigenvalues. The book includes numerous exercises, both computational and conceptual.
