"The book is highly recommended as a text for an introductory course in nonlinear analysis and bifurcation theory . . . reading is fluid and very pleasant . . . style is informal but far from being imprecise."

--MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS (Review of the First Edition)

Here is a book that will be a joy to the mathematician or graduate student of mathematics---or even the well-prepared undergraduate---who would like, with a minimum of background and preparation, to understand some of the beautiful results at the heart of nonlinear analysis. Based on...

The volume develops a thorough theory of singular fibers of generic differentiable maps. This is the first work that establishes the foundational framework of the global study of singular differentiable maps of negative codimension from the viewpoint of differential topology. The book contains not only a general theory, but also some explicit examples together with a number of very concrete applications.

This is a very interesting subject in differential topology, since it shows a beautiful interplay between the usual theory of singularities of differentiable maps and the geometric...

A spatial logic is a formal language interpreted over any class of structures featuring geometrical entities and relations, broadly construed. In the past decade, spatial logics have attracted much attention in response to developments in such diverse fields as Artificial Intelligence, Database Theory, Physics, and Philosophy. The aim of this handbook is to create, for the first time, a systematic account of the field of spatial logic. The book comprises a general introduction, followed by fourteen chapters by invited authors. Each chapter provides a self-contained overview of its topic,...

With the groundwork laid in the first volume (EMS 15) of the Commutative Harmonic Analysis subseries of the Encyclopaedia, the present volume takes up four advanced topics in the subject: Littlewood-Paley theory for singular integrals, exceptional sets, multiple Fourier series and multiple Fourier integrals.
