Book Description
For several centuries, analysis has been one of the most prestigious and important subjects in mathematics. The present book sets off by tracing the evolution of mathematical analysis, and then endeavours to understand the developments of main trends, problems, and conjectures. It features chapters on general topology, 'classical' integration and measure theory, functional analysis, harmonic analysis and Lie groups, theory of functions and analytic geometry, differential and partial differential equations, topological and differential geometry. The ubiquitous presence of analysis also requires the consideration of related topics such as probability theory or algebraic geometry. Each chapter features a comprehensive first part on developments during the period 1900-1950, and then provides outlooks on representative achievements during the later part of the century. The book provides many original quotations from outstanding mathematicians as well as an extensive bibliography of the seminal publications. It will be an interesting and useful reference work for graduate students, lecturers, and all professional mathematicians and other scientists with an interest in the history of mathematics.

Mathematical Events of the Twentieth Century
Author: Vladimir I. Arnold
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9783642062254
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book contains several contributions on the most outstanding events in the development of twentieth century mathematics, representing a wide variety of specialities in which Russian and Soviet mathematicians played a considerable role. The articles are written in an informal style, from mathematical philosophy to the description of the development of ideas, personal memories and give a unique account of personal meetings with famous representatives of twentieth century mathematics who exerted great influence in its development. This book will be of great interest to mathematicians, who will enjoy seeing their own specialities described with some historical perspective. Historians will read it with the same motive, and perhaps also to select topics for future investigation.

Real Mathematical Analysis
Author: Charles Chapman Pugh
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387216847
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 445
Book Description
Was plane geometry your favourite math course in high school? Did you like proving theorems? Are you sick of memorising integrals? If so, real analysis could be your cup of tea. In contrast to calculus and elementary algebra, it involves neither formula manipulation nor applications to other fields of science. None. It is Pure Mathematics, and it is sure to appeal to the budding pure mathematician. In this new introduction to undergraduate real analysis the author takes a different approach from past studies of the subject, by stressing the importance of pictures in mathematics and hard problems. The exposition is informal and relaxed, with many helpful asides, examples and occasional comments from mathematicians like Dieudonne, Littlewood and Osserman. The author has taught the subject many times over the last 35 years at Berkeley and this book is based on the honours version of this course. The book contains an excellent selection of more than 500 exercises.

Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 666
Book Description
This book is a well-informed and detailed analysis of the problems and development of algebraic topology, from Poincaré and Brouwer to Serre, Adams, and Thom. The author has examined each significant paper along this route and describes the steps and strategy of its proofs and its relation to other work. Previously, the history of the many technical developments of 20th-century mathematics had seemed to present insuperable obstacles to scholarship. This book demonstrates in the case of topology how these obstacles can be overcome, with enlightening results.... Within its chosen boundaries the coverage of this book is superb.

A History of Mathematics
Author: Luke Hodgkin
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191664367
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
A History of Mathematics: From Mesopotamia to Modernity covers the evolution of mathematics through time and across the major Eastern and Western civilizations. It begins in Babylon, then describes the trials and tribulations of the Greek mathematicians. The important, and often neglected, influence of both Chinese and Islamic mathematics is covered in detail, placing the description of early Western mathematics in a global context. The book concludes with modern mathematics, covering recent developments such as the advent of the computer, chaos theory, topology, mathematical physics, and the solution of Fermat's Last Theorem. Containing more than 100 illustrations and figures, this text, aimed at advanced undergraduates and postgraduates, addresses the methods and challenges associated with studying the history of mathematics. The reader is introduced to the leading figures in the history of mathematics (including Archimedes, Ptolemy, Qin Jiushao, al-Kashi, al-Khwarizmi, Galileo, Newton, Leibniz, Helmholtz, Hilbert, Alan Turing, and Andrew Wiles) and their fields. An extensive bibliography with cross-references to key texts will provide invaluable resource to students and exercises (with solutions) will stretch the more advanced reader.

Pages : 404
Book Description
This book is intended as a serious introduction to the studyof mathematical analysis. In contrast to calculus, mathematical analysis does not involve formula manipulation, memorizing integrals or applications to other fields of science. No.It involves geometric intuition and proofs of theorems. It ispure mathematics! Given the mathematical preparation andinterest of our intended audience which, apart from mathematics majors, includes students of statistics, computer science, physics, students of mathematics education and students of engineering, we have not given the axiomatic development of the real number system. However, we assumethat the reader is familiar with sets and functions. This bookis divided into two parts. Part I covers elements of mathematical analysis which include: the real number system, bounded subsets of real numbers, sequences of real numbers, monotone sequences, Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem, Cauchysequences and completeness of R, continuity, intermediatevalue theorem, continuous maps on [a, b], uniform continuity, closed sets, compact sets, differentiability, series of nonnegative real numbers, alternating series, absolute and conditional convergence; and re-arrangement of series. The contents of Part I are adequate for a semester course in mathematical analysis at the 200 level. Part II covers Riemannintegrals. In particular, the Riemann integral, basic properties of Riemann integral, pointwise convergence of sequencesof functions, uniform convergence of sequences of functions, series of real-valued functions: term by term differentiationand integration; power series: uniform convergence of powerseries; uniform convergence at end points; and equi-continuity are covered. Part II covers the standard syllabus for asemester mathematical analysis course at the 300 level. Thetopics covered in this book provide a reasonable preparationfor any serious study of higher mathematics. But for one toreally benefit from the book, one must spend a great deal ofixtime on it, studying the contents very carefully and attempting all the exercises, especially the miscellaneous exercises atthe end of the book. These exercises constitute an importantintegral part of the book.Each chapter begins with clear statements of the most important theorems of the chapter.
