In this, one of the first books to appear in English on the theory of numbers, the eminent mathematician Hermann Weyl explores fundamental concepts in arithmetic. The book begins with the definitions and properties of algebraic fields, which are relied upon throughout. The theory of divisibility is then discussed, from an axiomatic viewpoint, rather than by the use of ideals. There follows an introduction to p-adic numbers and their uses, which are so important in modern number theory, and the book culminates with an extensive examination of algebraic number fields.

Hermann Weyl (1885-1955) was one of the twentieth century's most important mathematicians, as well as a seminal figure in the development of quantum physics and general relativity. He was also an eloquent writer with a lifelong interest in the philosophical implications of the startling new scientific developments with which he was so involved. Mind and Nature is a collection of Weyl's most important general writings on philosophy, mathematics, and physics, including pieces that have never before been published in any language or translated into English, or that have long been out...

In this renowned volume, Hermann Weyl discusses the symmetric, full linear, orthogonal, and symplectic groups and determines their different invariants and representations. Using basic concepts from algebra, he examines the various properties of the groups. Analysis and topology are used wherever appropriate. The book also covers topics such as matrix algebras, semigroups, commutators, and spinors, which are of great importance in understanding the group-theoretic structure of quantum mechanics.

Hermann Weyl was among the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century. He made...

Dieser Text ist die Transkription einer Vorlesung zur Funktionentheorie, die Hermann Weyl im Wintersemester 1910-11 an der Universitat Gottingen gehalten hat, kurz vor der Entstehung seines einflussreichen Buches uber Riemannsche Flachen, das auf der Fortsetzung dieser Vorlesung im Sommersemester 1911 beruht. Weyl betont in dieser Vorlesung die kinematische Deutung gebrochen-linearer Transformationen und die Beziehungen zwischen konformen Abbildungen und Stromungstheorie. Hohepunkt der Vorlesung ist der Vergleich der Riemannschen und Weierstrassschen Behandlung mehrdeutiger analytischer...

The description for this book, Meromorphic Functions and Analytic Curves. (AM-12), will be forthcoming.

Symmetry is a classic study of symmetry in mathematics, the sciences, nature, and art from one of the twentieth century's greatest mathematicians. Hermann Weyl explores the concept of symmetry beginning with the idea that it represents a harmony of proportions, and gradually departs to examine its more abstract varieties and manifestations--as bilateral, translatory, rotational, ornamental, and crystallographic. Weyl investigates the general abstract mathematical idea underlying all these special forms, using a wealth of illustrations as support. Symmetry is a work of seminal...
