The Commentary of Al-Nayrizi on Book I of Euclid's Elements of Geometry: With an Introduction on the Transmission of Euclid's Elements in the Middle A
ISBN: 9780391041929 / Angielski / Twarda / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For more than two millennia, the Elements of Geometry by the Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria (ca. 300 B.C.E. ) was held to be "the supreme example of the exercise of human reason" and "a paradigm of rational certainty" (from the preface, after Simon Blackburn). The Commentary of al-Nayrizi on Book I of Euclid's Elements of Geometry introduces readers to the transmission of Euclid's Elements from the Middle East to the Latin West in the medieval period and then offers the first English translation of al-Nayrizi's (d. ca. 922) Arabic commentary on Book I. The Three Volumes...

Integrable Hamiltonian Systems: Geometry, Topology, Classification
ISBN: 9780415298056 / Angielski / Twarda / 746 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Integrable Hamiltonian systems have been of growing interest over the past 30 years and represent one of the most intriguing and mysterious classes of dynamical systems. This book explores the topology of integrable systems and the general theory underlying their qualitative properties, singularites, and topological invariants.
The authors, both of whom have contributed significantly to the field, develop the classification theory for integrable systems with two degrees of freedom. This theory allows one to distinguish such systems up to two natural equivalence relations: the equivalence...

Theory of Convex Structures: Volume 50
ISBN: 9780444815057 / Angielski / Twarda / 539 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Presented in this monograph is the current state-of-the-art in the theory of convex structures. The notion of convexity covered here is considerably broader than the classic one; specifically, it is not restricted to the context of vector spaces. Classical concepts of order-convex sets (Birkhoff) and of geodesically convex sets (Menger) are directly inspired by intuition; they go back to the first half of this century. An axiomatic approach started to develop in the early Fifties. The author became attracted to it in the mid-Seventies, resulting in the present volume, in which graphs appear...

The book also...

"Since the ancient Greeks, the visualization of space has been a challenge that has intrigued men of learning. Through centuries of thoughtful looking, a number of three-dimensional figures or polyhedral, as the Greeks called them, have been discovered, admired, and wondered at for their mathematical elegance and beauty. And they have been put to use in remarkably diverse ways by engineers and builders, chemists and crystallographers, architects and sculptors. This book describes very clearly and...
