There has recently been a renewal of interest in Fokker-Planck operators, motivated by problems in statistical physics, in kinetic equations, and differential geometry. Compared to more standard problems in the spectral theory of partial differential operators, those operators are not self-adjoint and only hypoelliptic. The aim of the analysis is to give, as generally as possible, an accurate qualitative and quantitative description of the exponential return to the thermodynamical equilibrium. While exploring and improving recent results in this direction, this volume proposes a review of...

Generating a satisfactory classification image from remote sensing data is not a straightforward task. Many factors contribute to this difficulty including the characteristics of a study area, availability of suitable remote sensing data, ancillary and ground reference data, proper use of variables and classification algorithms, and the analyst's experience. An authoritative text, Advances in Environmental Remote Sensing: Sensors, Algorithms, and Applications compiles comprehensive review articles to examine the developments in concepts, methods, techniques, and...

Mirrors and Reflections is a systematic and elementary treatment of finite groups generated by reflections. The approach is based on fundamental geometric considerations in Coxeter complexes, and emphasizes the intuitive geometric aspects of the theory of reflection groups.

Key features: - Many important concepts in the proofs are illustrated in simple drawings, which give easy access to the theory - A large number of exercises at various levels of difficulty - Some Euclidean geometry is included along with the theory of convex polyhedra - Few prerequisites are necessary...

"In 1611, Kepler wrote an essay wondering why snowflakes always had perfect, sixfold symmetry. It's a simple enough question, but one that no one had ever asked before and one that couldn't actually be answered for another three centuries. Still, in trying to work out an answer, Kepler raised some fascinating questions about physics, math, and biology, and now you can watch in wonder as a great scientific genius unleashes the full force of his intellect on a seemingly trivial question, complete with new illustrations and essays to put it all in perspective."io9, from their list "10 Amazing...

Diese Einfuhrung besticht durch zwei ungewohnliche Aspekte: Sie gibt einen Einblick in die Mathematik als Bestandteil unserer Kultur, und sie vermittelt die Hintergrunde der Mathematik vom Schulstoff ausgehend bis zum Niveau von Mathematikvorlesungen im ersten Studienjahr. Die Stoffdarstellung geht vom Aufbau der naturlichen Zahlen aus; der Schwerpunkt liegt aber in den exakten Begrundungen der Zahlenbegriffe, der Geometrie der Ebene und der Funktionen einer Veranderlichen. Dabei werden alle Satze bis hin zum Hauptsatz der Algebra vollstandig bewiesen. Der klare Aufbau des Buches...

Diese dritte Auflage wurde zusammen mit dem zweitgenannten Autor kritisch durchgesehen, erganzt und verbessert. Ein weiteres Kapitel uber geometrische Funktionentheorie und schlichte Funktionen enthalt einen Beweis der Bieberbachschen Vermutung.

"Der ... vorliegende zweite Band der Funktionentheorie erfullt voll die Erwartungen, die der erste Band geweckt hat. Wieder beeindrucken vor allem die hochinteressanten historischen Bemerkungen zu den einzelnen Themenkreisen, als besonderer Leckerbissen wird das Gutachten von Gau uber Riemanns Dissertation vorgestellt... Jedes einzelne...

The monograph is devoted to one of the most important trends in contemporary mathematical physics, the investigation of evolution equations of many-particle systems of statistical mechanics. The book systematizes rigorous results obtained in this field in recent years, and it presents contemporary methods for the investigation of evolution equations of infinite-particle systems.

The book is intended for experts in statistical physics, mathematical physics, and probability theory and for students of universities specialized in mathematics and physics.

What is the "most uniform" way of distributing n points in the unit square? How big is the "irregularity" necessarily present in any such distribution? This book is an accessible and lively introduction to the area of geometric discrepancy theory, with numerous exercises and illustrations. In separate, more specialized parts, it also provides a comprehensive guide to recent research.
