Geometric algebra is still treated as an obscure branch of algebra and most books have been written by competent mathematicians in a very abstract style. This restricts the readership of such books especially by programmers working in computer graphics, who simply want guidance on algorithm design.

Geometric algebra provides a unified algebraic system for solving a wide variety of geometric problems. John Vince reveals the beauty of this algebraic framework and communicates to the reader new and unusual mathematical concepts using colour illustrations, tabulations, and...

The 2007 Abel Symposium took place at the University of Oslo in August 2007. The goal of the symposium was to bring together mathematicians whose research efforts have led to recent advances in algebraic geometry, algebraic K-theory, algebraic topology, and mathematical physics. A common theme of this symposium was the development of new perspectives and new constructions with a categorical flavor. As the lectures at the symposium and the papers of this volume demonstrate, these perspectives and constructions have enabled a broadening of vistas, a synergy between once-differentiated...

Integral transforms, such as the Laplace and Fourier transforms, have been major tools in mathematics for at least two centuries. In the last three decades the development of a number of novel ideas in algebraic geometry, category theory, gauge theory, and string theory has been closely related to generalizations of integral transforms of a more geometric character.

"Fourier Mukai and Nahm Transforms in Geometry and Mathematical Physics" examines the algebro-geometric approach (Fourier Mukai functors) as well as the differential-geometric constructions (Nahm). Also included is a...

This textbook equips graduate students and advanced undergraduates with the necessary theoretical tools for applying algebraic geometry to information theory, and it covers primary applications in coding theory and cryptography. Harald Niederreiter and Chaoping Xing provide the first detailed discussion of the interplay between nonsingular projective curves and algebraic function fields over finite fields. This interplay is fundamental to research in the field today, yet until now no other textbook has featured complete proofs of it. Niederreiter and Xing cover classical applications like...

Die Theorie Riemannscher Flachen wird als ein Mikrokosmos der Reinen Mathematik dargestellt, in dem Methoden der Topologie und Geometrie, der komplexen und reellen Analysis sowie der Algebra zusammenwirken, um die reichhaltige Struktur dieser Flachen aufzuklaren. Viele Beispiele und Bilder, die in der historischen Entwicklung eine Rolle spielten, erganzen die Darstellung. Das Buch beruht auf Vorlesungen und Seminaren im Anschluss an eine Einfuhrung in die komplexe Funktionentheorie. Wegen seiner Methodenvielfalt enthalt es gleichzeitig Einfuhrungen in die Topologie (Fundamentalgruppe,...
