Algebraic Theory of Locally Nilpotent Derivations (Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences #136.3)
by Gene FreudenburgThis book explores the theory and application of locally nilpotent derivations, a subject motivated by questions in affine algebraic geometry and having fundamental connections to areas such as commutative algebra, representation theory, Lie algebras and differential equations. The author provides a unified treatment of the subject, beginning with 16 First Principles on which the theory is based. These are used to establish classical results, such as Rentschler's Theorem for the plane and the Cancellation Theorem for Curves. More recent results, such as Makar-Limanov's theorem for locally nilpotent derivations of polynomial rings, are also discussed. Topics of special interest include progress in classifying additive actions on three-dimensional affine space, finiteness questions (Hilbert's 14th Problem), algorithms, the Makar-Limanov invariant, and connections to the Cancellation Problem and the Embedding Problem. A lot of new material is included in this expanded second edition, such as canonical factorization of quotient morphisms, and a more extended treatment of linear actions. The reader will also find a wealth of examples and open problems and an updated resource for future investigations.
Algebraic Theory of Numbers
by Pierre Samuel Allan J. SilbergerAlgebraic number theory introduces students not only to new algebraic notions but also to related concepts: groups, rings, fields, ideals, quotient rings and quotient fields, homomorphisms and isomorphisms, modules, and vector spaces. Author Pierre Samuel notes that students benefit from their studies of algebraic number theory by encountering many concepts fundamental to other branches of mathematics — algebraic geometry, in particular.This book assumes a knowledge of basic algebra but supplements its teachings with brief, clear explanations of integrality, algebraic extensions of fields, Galois theory, Noetherian rings and modules, and rings of fractions. It covers the basics, starting with the divisibility theory in principal ideal domains and ending with the unit theorem, finiteness of the class number, and the more elementary theorems of Hilbert ramification theory. Numerous examples, applications, and exercises appear throughout the text.
Algebraic Theory of Quadratic Numbers (Universitext)
by Mak TrifkovićBy focusing on quadratic numbers, this advanced undergraduate or master's level textbook on algebraic number theory is accessible even to students who have yet to learn Galois theory. The techniques of elementary arithmetic, ring theory and linear algebra are shown working together to prove important theorems, such as the unique factorization of ideals and the finiteness of the ideal class group The book concludes with two topics particular to quadratic fields: continued fractions and quadratic forms The treatment of quadratic forms is somewhat more advanced than usual, with an emphasis on their connection with ideal classes and a discussion of Bhargava cubes. The numerous exercises in the text offer the reader hands-on computational experience with elements and ideals in quadratic number fields The reader is also asked to fill in the details of proofs and develop extra topics, like the theory of orders Prerequisites include elementary number theory and a basic familiarity with ring theory.

Algebraic Topology: A First Course (Contemporary Mathematics Ser. #Vol. 58)
by Marvin J. GreenbergGreat first book on algebraic topology. Introduces (co)homology through singular theory.
Algebraic Topology: VIASM 2012–2015 (Lecture Notes in Mathematics #2194)
by H. V. Hưng Nguyễn Lionel SchwartzHeld during algebraic topology special sessions at the Vietnam Institute for Advanced Studies in Mathematics (VIASM, Hanoi), this set of notes consists of expanded versions of three courses given by G. Ginot, H. -W. Henn and G. Powell. They are all introductory texts and can be used by PhD students and experts in the field. Among the three contributions, two concern stable homotopy of spheres: Henn focusses on the chromatic point of view, the Morava K(n)-localization and the cohomology of the Morava stabilizer groups. Powell's chapter is concerned with the derived functors of the destabilization and iterated loop functors and provides a small complex to compute them. Indications are given for the odd prime case. Providing an introduction to some aspects of string and brane topology, Ginot's contribution focusses on Hochschild homology and its generalizations. It contains a number of new results and fills a gap in the literature.
Algebraic Topology
by Allen HatcherIn most major universities one of the three or four basic first-year graduate mathematics courses is algebraic topology. This introductory text is suitable for use in a course on the subject or for self-study, featuring broad coverage and a readable exposition, with many examples and exercises. The four main chapters present the basics: fundamental group and covering spaces, homology and cohomology, higher homotopy groups, and homotopy theory generally. The author emphasizes the geometric aspects of the subject, which helps students gain intuition. A unique feature is the inclusion of many optional topics not usually part of a first course due to time constraints: Bockstein and transfer homomorphisms, direct and inverse limits, H-spaces and Hopf algebras, the Brown representability theorem, the James reduced product, the Dold-Thom theorem, and Steenrod squares and powers.
Algebraic Topology
by Simon Rubinstein-Salzedo Clark Bray Adrian ButscherAlgebraic Topology is an introductory textbook based on a class for advanced high-school students at the Stanford University Mathematics Camp (SUMaC) that the authors have taught for many years. Each chapter, or lecture, corresponds to one day of class at SUMaC. The book begins with the preliminaries needed for the formal definition of a surface. Other topics covered in the book include the classification of surfaces, group theory, the fundamental group, and homology. This book assumes no background in abstract algebra or real analysis, and the material from those subjects is presented as needed in the text. This makes the book readable to undergraduates or high-school students who do not have the background typically assumed in an algebraic topology book or class. The book contains many examples and exercises, allowing it to be used for both self-study and for an introductory undergraduate topology course.

Algebraisches Denken im Arithmetikunterricht der Grundschule: Muster entdecken – Strukturen verstehen (Mathematik Primarstufe und Sekundarstufe I + II)
by Kathrin Akinwunmi Anna Susanne SteinwegDieses Buch thematisiert algebraisches Denken in der Grundschule als wesentlichen Kern der übergreifenden Leitidee „Muster, Strukturen und funktionaler Zusammenhang“ in den aktuellen KMK-Bildungsstandards.Für algebraische Lehr-Lernprozesse ist eine Unterscheidung zwischen sichtbaren Mustern und allgemeinen Strukturen wesentlich; eine solche wird hier vorgelegt und an vielen Beispielen konkretisiert: Muster machen aufmerksam und lassen neugierig werden. Die Suche nach Begründungen des Musters erwartet, die Tür zu dahinterliegenden Strukturen zu öffnen. Strukturen, d. h. die mathematischen Eigenschaften und Relationen, können so als ursächlich für die Regelmäßigkeit des Musters erkannt werden.Für die unterrichtliche Förderung und gezielte Unterstützung der algebraischen Denkentwicklung werden in diesem Buch einerseits Grundideen algebraischen Denkens für den Arithmetikunterricht ausgearbeitet und andererseits Prinzipien für Unterricht zu algebraischen Grundideen und ihr Zusammenspiel mit prozessbezogenen, allgemeinen Kompetenzen erläutert. Den vier algebraischen Grundideen folgend werden vielfältige, didaktisch aufbereitete Anregungen zur praktischen Umsetzung sowie jeweils entsprechendes Hintergrundwissen angeboten.Das Buch richtet sich an Lehramtsstudierende, an angehende und bereits praktizierende Lehrkräfte sowie an Personen, die in der Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung tätig sind.
Algebras of Holomorphic Functions and Control Theory
by Amol SasaneThis accessible, undergraduate-level text illustrates the role of algebras of holomorphic functions in the solution of an important engineering problem: the stabilization of a linear control system. Its concise and self-contained treatment avoids the use of higher mathematics and forms a bridge to more advanced treatments. The treatment consists of two components: the algebraic framework, which serves as the abstract language for posing and solving the problem of stabilization; and the analysis component, which examines properties of specific rings of holomorphic functions. Elementary, self-contained, and constructive proofs elucidate the explorations of rings of holomorphic functions relevant in control theory. Introductory chapters on control theory and stable transfer functions are followed by surveys of unstable plants and the stabilization problem and its solution. The text concludes with suggestions for further reading and a bibliography.

Algebras, Rings and Modules, Volume 2: Non-commutative Algebras and Rings
by Michiel Hazewinkel Nadiya M. GubareniThe theory of algebras, rings, and modules is one of the fundamental domains of modern mathematics. General algebra, more specifically non-commutative algebra, is poised for major advances in the twenty-first century (together with and in interaction with combinatorics), just as topology, analysis, and probability experienced in the twentieth century. This is the second volume of Algebras, Rings and Modules: Non-commutative Algebras and Rings by M. Hazewinkel and N. Gubarenis, a continuation stressing the more important recent results on advanced topics of the structural theory of associative algebras, rings and modules.

Algorithm-Driven Truss Topology Optimization for Additive Manufacturing
by Christian ReintjesSince Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques allow the manufacture of complex-shaped structures the combination of lightweight construction, topology optimization, and AM is of significant interest. Besides the established continuum topology optimization methods, less attention is paid to algorithm-driven optimization based on linear optimization, which can also be used for topology optimization of truss-like structures.To overcome this shortcoming, we combined linear optimization, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), numerical shape optimization, and numerical simulation into an algorithm-driven product design process for additively manufactured truss-like structures. With our Ansys SpaceClaim add-in construcTOR, which is capable of obtaining ready-for-machine-interpretation CAD data of truss-like structures out of raw mathematical optimization data, the high performance of (heuristic-based) optimization algorithms implemented in linear programming software is now available to the CAD community.
Algorithm Engineering: Selected Results and Surveys (Lecture Notes in Computer Science #9220)
by Lasse Kliemann Peter SandersAlgorithm Engineering is a methodology for algorithmic research that combines theory with implementation and experimentation in order to obtain better algorithms with high practical impact. Traditionally, the study of algorithms was dominated by mathematical (worst-case) analysis. In Algorithm Engineering, algorithms are also implemented and experiments conducted in a systematic way, sometimes resembling the experimentation processes known from fields such as biology, chemistry, or physics. This helps in counteracting an otherwise growing gap between theory and practice.
Algorithm Portfolios: Advances, Applications, and Challenges (SpringerBriefs in Optimization)
by Dimitris Souravlias Konstantinos E. Parsopoulos Ilias S. Kotsireas Panos M. PardalosThis book covers algorithm portfolios, multi-method schemes that harness optimization algorithms into a joint framework to solve optimization problems. It is expected to be a primary reference point for researchers and doctoral students in relevant domains that seek a quick exposure to the field. The presentation focuses primarily on the applicability of the methods and the non-expert reader will find this book useful for starting designing and implementing algorithm portfolios. The book familiarizes the reader with algorithm portfolios through current advances, applications, and open problems. Fundamental issues in building effective and efficient algorithm portfolios such as selection of constituent algorithms, allocation of computational resources, interaction between algorithms and parallelism vs. sequential implementations are discussed. Several new applications are analyzed and insights on the underlying algorithmic designs are provided. Future directions, new challenges, and open problems in the design of algorithm portfolios and applications are explored to further motivate research in this field.
Algorithmen in der Graphentheorie: Ein konstruktiver Einstieg in die Diskrete Mathematik (essentials)
by Katja Mönius Jörn Steuding Pascal StumpfDieses essential liefert eine Einführung in die Graphentheorie mit Fokus auf ihre algorithmischen Aspekte; Vorkenntnisse werden dabei nicht benötigt. Ein Graph ist ein Gebilde bestehend aus Ecken und verbindenden Kanten. Wir untersuchen Kreise in Graphen, wie sie etwa beim Problem der Handlungsreisenden oder des chinesischen Postboten auftreten, fragen uns, wie sich mithilfe von Graphen (und insbesondere Bäumen) Routen planen lassen, und machen uns an die Färbung von Graphen, wobei keine benachbarten Ecken mit derselben Farbe versehen werden sollen. Diese klassischen Themen der Graphentheorie werden durch eine Vielzahl von Illustrationen und Algorithmen untermalt, über deren Laufzeit wir uns ebenfalls Gedanken machen. Viele bunte Beispiele erleichtern den Einstieg in dieses aktuelle und vielseitige Gebiet der Mathematik.
