Tutorium Analysis 1 und Lineare Algebra 1: Mathematik von Studenten für Studenten erklärt und kommentiert
by Florian Modler Martin KrehDieses Buch soll Ihnen als Mathematik-Erstsemester den Einstieg und Umstieg von der Schulmathematik in die Hochschulmathematik erleichtern und Ihnen somit helfen, viele der üblichen Erstsemester-Fehler zu vermeiden. Denn aller Anfang ist schwer und die Autoren wollen versuchen, Ihnen den Anfang so leicht wie möglich zu machen und Ihnen helfen, Schwierigkeiten zu überstehen, die im ersten Semester ganz normal sind. Das Buch ist anders als alle anderen, denn es wurde von Studenten geschrieben, die Erfahrung als Tutor, Übungsleiter und Korrektoren haben. Dadurch wissen die Autoren zum einen, welche Themen schwer verständlich sind und besonders ausführlich behandelt werden müssen und zum anderen kennen sie häufige Fehler und können auf diese hinweisen. In dem Buch gibt es einen mathematischen Teil, den der Student für Prüfungen beherrschen muss. Bei Fragen oder Problemen kann er dann in dem kommentierten Teil nachschauen und dort ausführliche Erklärungen, Hilfen und Beispiele der Autoren finden. So verfügt der Leser über zweierlei: Einerseits über die mathematisch exakte Definition oder den mathematisch präzisen Satz und Beweis und anderseits über Hilfen und Anschauungen, die ebenso wichtig sind, um den Stoff zu verstehen.Das Buch ist in der 4. Auflage um weitere Beispiele und zwei Beispielklausuren ergänzt worden. Stimmen zur 1. Auflage: „Es handelt sich also um ein sehr empfehlenswertes Buch für Einsteiger in das Studienfach Mathematik, welches sowohl umfangreich als auch verständlich gestaltet ist.“ Maik Messerschmidt auf www.uni-online.de„Super für den Studienbeginn! Kann dieses Buch nur jedem empfehlen, der im ersten Semester eine Vorlesung in Analysis oder Linearer Algebra hört! Habe schon einige Mathebücher durch und einige Sachen hatte ich trotzdem noch nicht richtig verstanden. Mit Hilfe dieses Buches jedoch wurden viele (komplizierte) Sachverhalte viel verständlicher.“ Kundenrezension auf www.amazon.de

Tutorium Mathe für Biologen: Von Studenten für Studenten
by Lorenz Adlung Christian Hopp Alexandra Köthe Niko Schnellbächer Oskar StauferWarum ein Mathebuch für Biologen von Studenten für Studenten?Wir wissen, was man an Mathe für Bio wirklich für die Prüfungen und die Bachelorarbeit braucht. Wir haben selbst Bio oder Mathe/Physik studiert und hautnah erlebt, wie unglaublich beliebt Mathe für Biologen ist. Neben einer „natürlichen Abneigung“ liegt es oft daran, dass die Lehre selten anwendungsbezogen ist. Wir haben uns bemüht, in einem Buch nur das aufzuführen, was man als Biologe wirklich benötigt und alles andere konsequent wegzulassen. Es gibt ständig Bezüge zu Publikationen aus den modernen Biowissenschaften. Solche relevanten Beispiele werden euch bestimmt hilfreich sein. Und das Beste: Das Buch ist garantiert häschenfrei! Wir rechnen nicht mit Hasenpopulationen sondern aktuellen Beispielen wie z.B. Signalwegen. Inhaltlich deckt das Buch den Stoff der ersten Mathevorlesungen für Biologen an den meisten Unis ab.

Twelve Landmarks of Twentieth-Century Analysis
by D. Choimet H. Queffélec Michaël Monerau Danièle Gibbons Greg GibbonsThe striking theorems showcased in this book are among the most profound results of twentieth-century analysis. The authors' original approach combines rigorous mathematical proofs with commentary on the underlying ideas to provide a rich insight into these landmarks in mathematics. Results ranging from the proof of Littlewood's conjecture to the Banach–Tarski paradox have been selected for their mathematical beauty as well as educative value and historical role. Placing each theorem in historical perspective, the authors paint a coherent picture of modern analysis and its development, whilst maintaining mathematical rigour with the provision of complete proofs, alternative proofs, worked examples, and more than 150 exercises and solution hints. This edition extends the original French edition of 2009 with a new chapter on partitions, including the Hardy–Ramanujan theorem, and a significant expansion of the existing chapter on the Corona problem.

This curated collection provides a wealth of historical knowledge that is relevant for every practicing psychometrician. Introspective and insightful, it exhibits the wide array of opinions and visions in the field. Readers are invited to critically reflect on what holds this diverse field together, and what challenges and opportunities are on the horizon.
Twenty Is Too Many
by Kate DukeTwenty guinea pigs can be too many--especially if all of them are crammed on a small and tipsy boat. In this charming and boisterous book about subtraction, the guinea pigs begin to jump ship, each in his or her own funny and unique way. While children follow the story of the ever-shrinking gang of guinea pigs, they can count the furry pals leaping on and around oversized numerals representing the number of cavorting cavies on the page. A simple equation that shows the subtraction is printed along the bottom of each spread, reinforcing the concept.Like its successful predecessor, One Guinea Pig Is Not Enough, this book tells a story while teaching a number concept.
Twenty Lectures on Algorithmic Game Theory
by Tim RoughgardenComputer science and economics have engaged in a lively interaction over the past fifteen years, resulting in the new field of algorithmic game theory. Many problems that are central to modern computer science, ranging from resource allocation in large networks to online advertising, involve interactions between multiple self-interested parties. Economics and game theory offer a host of useful models and definitions to reason about such problems. The flow of ideas also travels in the other direction, and concepts from computer science are increasingly important in economics. This book grew out of the author's Stanford University course on algorithmic game theory, and aims to give students and other newcomers a quick and accessible introduction to many of the most important concepts in the field. The book also includes case studies on online advertising, wireless spectrum auctions, kidney exchange, and network management.

Twisted Isospectrality, Homological Wideness, and Isometry: A Sample of Algebraic Methods in Isospectrality (SpringerBriefs in Mathematics)
by Gunther Cornelissen Norbert PeyerimhoffThe question of reconstructing a geometric shape from spectra of operators (such as the Laplace operator) is decades old and an active area of research in mathematics and mathematical physics. This book focusses on the case of compact Riemannian manifolds, and, in particular, the question whether one can find finitely many natural operators that determine whether two such manifolds are isometric (coverings).The methods outlined in the book fit into the tradition of the famous work of Sunada on the construction of isospectral, non-isometric manifolds, and thus do not focus on analytic techniques, but rather on algebraic methods: in particular, the analogy with constructions in number theory, methods from representation theory, and from algebraic topology.The main goal of the book is to present the construction of finitely many “twisted” Laplace operators whose spectrum determines covering equivalence of two Riemannian manifolds.The book has a leisure pace and presents details and examples that are hard to find in the literature, concerning: fiber products of manifolds and orbifolds, the distinction between the spectrum and the spectral zeta function for general operators, strong isospectrality, twisted Laplacians, the action of isometry groups on homology groups, monomial structures on group representations, geometric and group-theoretical realisation of coverings with wreath products as covering groups, and “class field theory” for manifolds. The book contains a wealth of worked examples and open problems. After perusing the book, the reader will have a comfortable working knowledge of the algebraic approach to isospectrality. This is an open access book.

Twistor Sigma Models: Gravity, Amplitudes, and Flat Space Holography (Springer Theses)
by Atul SharmaIn recent decades, twistor theory has grown into an irreplaceable tool for the study of scattering amplitudes in gauge theory and gravity. This book introduces the reader to cutting-edge advances in twistor theory and its applications to general relativity. The problem of graviton scattering in four dimensions is shown to be dual to dramatically simpler computations in a two-dimensional CFT known as a twistor sigma model. Twistor sigma models are the first step toward a holographic description of gravity in asymptotically flat space-times. They underpin the infinitely many asymptotic symmetries of flat space physics discovered in celestial holography, and extend them to exciting new arenas like curved space-times. They also yield intrinsically mathematical results in the field of hyperkähler manifolds. This volume will be of broad interest to students and researchers looking for an accessible entry point into twistor geometry, scattering amplitudes, and celestial holography. It will also provide an invaluable reference for specialists by bringing together results from a host of different disciplines.

Two Algebraic Byways from Differential Equations: Gröbner Bases and Quivers (Algorithms and Computation in Mathematics #28)
by Kenji Iohara Philippe Malbos Masa-Hiko Saito Nobuki TakayamaThis edited volume presents a fascinating collection of lecture notes focusing on differential equations from two viewpoints: formal calculus (through the theory of Gröbner bases) and geometry (via quiver theory). Gröbner bases serve as effective models for computation in algebras of various types. Although the theory of Gröbner bases was developed in the second half of the 20th century, many works on computational methods in algebra were published well before the introduction of the modern algebraic language. Since then, new algorithms have been developed and the theory itself has greatly expanded. In comparison, diagrammatic methods in representation theory are relatively new, with the quiver varieties only being introduced – with big impact – in the 1990s. Divided into two parts, the book first discusses the theory of Gröbner bases in their commutative and noncommutative contexts, with a focus on algorithmic aspects and applications of Gröbner bases to analysis on systems of partial differential equations, effective analysis on rings of differential operators, and homological algebra. It then introduces representations of quivers, quiver varieties and their applications to the moduli spaces of meromorphic connections on the complex projective line. While no particular reader background is assumed, the book is intended for graduate students in mathematics, engineering and related fields, as well as researchers and scholars.
Two and Three Dimensional Calculus: with Applications in Science and Engineering

The Two-Dimensional Ising Model: Second Edition
by Barry M. Mccoy Prof. Tai Tsun Wu"Of all the systems in statistical mechanics on which exact calculations have been performed," declare the authors of this text, "the two-dimensional Ising model is not only the most thoroughly investigated; it is also the richest and most profound." Originally published in 1973, this is the definitive survey of the Ising model, a mathematical model of ferromagnetism in statistical mechanics. This updated edition of the classic text features an extensive section on new developments. Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students of physics, it is also suitable for physicists working in statistical mechanics and related fields. Following a brief introductory chapter, the book explores statistical mechanics, the one-dimensional Ising model, dimer statistics, specific heat of Onsager's lattice in the absence of a magnetic field, boundary specific heat and magnetization, and boundary spin-spin correlation functions. Subsequent chapters cover the correlation functions, Wiener-Hopf sum equations, spontaneous magnetization, behavior of the correlation functions, asymptotic expansion, and boundary hysteresis and spin probability functions. Two other chapters examine Ising models with random impurities in terms of specific heat and boundary effects. The book concludes with a new chapter examining developments in the field since 1973.
Two-dimensional Product Cubic Systems, Vol. VII: Self- Quadratic Vector Fields
by Albert C. LuoThis book is the seventh of 15 related monographs, concerns nonlinear dynamics and singularity of cubic dynamical systems possessing a product-cubic vector field and a self-univariate quadratic vector field. The equilibrium singularity and bifurcation dynamics are discussed. The saddle-source (sink) is the appearing bifurcations for saddle and source (sink). The double-saddle equilibriums are the appearing bifurcations of the saddle-source and saddle-sink, and also the appearing bifurcations of the network of saddles, sink and source. The infinite-equilibriums for the switching bifurcations include: • inflection-saddle infinite-equilibriums, • hyperbolic-source (sink) infinite-equilibriums, • up-down (down-up) saddle infinite-equilibriums, • inflection-source (sink) infinite-equilibriums.
The Two-Dimensional Riemann Problem in Gas Dynamics (Monographs And Surveys In Pure And Applied Mathematics Ser. #98)
by Jiequan Li Tong Zhang Shuli YangThe Riemann problem is the most fundamental problem in the entire field of non-linear hyperbolic conservation laws. Since first posed and solved in 1860, great progress has been achieved in the one-dimensional case. However, the two-dimensional case is substantially different. Although research interest in it has lasted more than a century, it has yielded almost no analytical demonstration. It remains a great challenge for mathematicians.This volume presents work on the two-dimensional Riemann problem carried out over the last 20 years by a Chinese group. The authors explore four models: scalar conservation laws, compressible Euler equations, zero-pressure gas dynamics, and pressure-gradient equations. They use the method of generalized characteristic analysis plus numerical experiments to demonstrate the elementary field interaction patterns of shocks, rarefaction waves, and slip lines. They also discover a most interesting feature for zero-pressure gas dynamics: a new kind of elementary wave appearing in the interaction of slip lines-a weighted Dirac delta shock of the density function. The Two-Dimensional Riemann Problem in Gas Dynamics establishes the rigorous mathematical theory of delta-shocks and Mach reflection-like patterns for zero-pressure gas dynamics, clarifies the boundaries of interaction of elementary waves, demonstrates the interesting spatial interaction of slip lines, and proposes a series of open problems. With applications ranging from engineering to astrophysics, and as the first book to examine the two-dimensional Riemann problem, this volume will prove fascinating to mathematicians and hold great interest for physicists and engineers.
Two-dimensional Self and Product Cubic Systems, Vol. II: Crossing-linear and Self-quadratic Product Vector Field
by Albert C. LuoThis book is the thirteenth of 15 related monographs on Cubic Dynamical Systems, discusses self- and product-cubic systems with a crossing-linear and self-quadratic products vector field. Equilibrium series with flow singularity are presented and the corresponding switching bifurcations are discussed through up-down saddles, third-order concave-source (sink), and up-down-to-down-up saddles infinite-equilibriums. The author discusses how equilibrium networks with paralleled hyperbolic and hyperbolic-secant flows exist in such cubic systems, and the corresponding switching bifurcations obtained through the inflection-source and sink infinite-equilibriums. In such cubic systems, the appearing bifurcations are: saddle-source (sink) hyperbolic-to-hyperbolic-secant flows double-saddle third-order saddle, sink and source third-order saddle-source (sink)
