3. |  By: T. W. Körner Publisher: Cambridge University Press Publication Date: 31-DEC-2012 Insert Date: 25-APR-2013 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Vectors, Pure and Applied
Many books in linear algebra focus purely on getting students through exams, but this text explains both the how and the why of linear algebra and enables students to begin thinking like mathematicians. The author demonstrates how different topics (geometry, abstract algebra, numerical analysis, physics) make use of vectors in different ways and how these ways are connected, preparing students for further work in these areas. The book is packed with hundreds of exercises ranging from the routine to the challenging. Sketch solutions of the easier exercises are available online.

4. |  Representations of Lie Algebras By: Anthony Henderson Publisher: Cambridge University Press Publication Date: 16-AUG-2012 Insert Date: 19-APR-2013 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Representations of Lie Algebras
This bold and refreshing approach to Lie algebras assumes only modest prerequisites (linear algebra up to the Jordan canonical form and a basic familiarity with groups and rings), yet it reaches a major result in representation theory: the highest-weight classification of irreducible modules of the general linear Lie algebra. The author's exposition is focused on this goal rather than aiming at the widest generality and emphasis is placed on explicit calculations with bases and matrices. The book begins with a motivating chapter explaining the context and relevance of Lie algebras and...

7. |  Generic Inference: A Unifying Theory for Automated Reasoning Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Publication Date: 24-MAY-2011 Insert Date: 05-JAN-2013 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Generic Inference: A Unifying Theory for Automated Reasoning
This book provides a rigorous algebraic study of the most popular inference formalisms with a special focus on their wide application area, showing that all these tasks can be performed by a single generic inference algorithm. Written by the leading international authority on the topic, it includes an algebraic perspective (study of the valuation algebra framework), an algorithmic perspective (study of the generic inference schemes) and a "practical" perspective (formalisms and applications). Researchers in a number of fields including artificial intelligence, operational research,...

9. |  By: Calixto Badesa Publisher: Princeton University Press Publication Date: 05-JAN-2004 Insert Date: 03-OCT-2011 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: The Birth of Model Theory Löwenheim's theorem reflects a critical point in the history of mathematical logic, for it marks the birth of model theory--that is, the part of logic that concerns the relationship between formal theories and their models. However, while the original proofs of other, comparably significant theorems are well understood, this is not the case with Löwenheim's theorem. For example, the very result that scholars attribute to Löwenheim today is not the one that Skolem--a logician raised in the algebraic tradition, like Löwenheim--appears to have attributed to him. In The Birth of Model Theory ,...

10. |  General Theory of Algebraic Equations By: Etienne Bézout; Eric Feron Publisher: Princeton University Press Publication Date: 13-MAR-2006 Insert Date: 03-OCT-2011 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: General Theory of Algebraic Equations This book provides the first English translation of Bezout's masterpiece, the General Theory of Algebraic Equations . It follows, by almost two hundred years, the English translation of his famous mathematics textbooks. Here, Bézout presents his approach to solving systems of polynomial equations in several variables and in great detail. He introduces the revolutionary notion of the "polynomial multiplier," which greatly simplifies the problem of variable elimination by reducing it to a system of linear equations. The major result presented in this work, now known as "Bézout's theorem," is...

11. |  Quadrangular Algebras. (MN-46): By: Richard M. Weiss Publisher: Princeton University Press Publication Date: 19-SEP-2005 Insert Date: 03-OCT-2011 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Quadrangular Algebras. (MN-46): This book introduces a new class of non-associative algebras related to certain exceptional algebraic groups and their associated buildings. Richard Weiss develops a theory of these "quadrangular algebras" that opens the first purely algebraic approach to the exceptional Moufang quadrangles. These quadrangles include both those that arise as the spherical buildings associated to groups of type E 6 , E 7 , and E 8 as well as the exotic quadrangles "of type F4" discovered earlier by Weiss. Based on their relationship to exceptional algebraic groups, quadrangular algebras belong in a series...
