Abstract Algebra: A Comprehensive Treatment (Pure and Applied Mathematics #267)
by Freddy Van Oystaeyen Claudia MeniniIn one exceptional volume, Abstract Algebra covers subject matter typically taught over the course of two or three years and offers a self-contained presentation, detailed definitions, and excellent chapter-matched exercises to smooth the trajectory of learning algebra from zero to one. Field-tested through advance use in the ERASMUS educational project in Europe, this ambitious, comprehensive book includes an original treatment of representation of finite groups that avoids the use of semisimple ring theory and explains sets, maps, posets, lattices, and other essentials of the algebraic language; Peano's axioms and cardinality; groupoids, semigroups, monoids, groups; and normal subgroups.
Abstract Algebra: An Interactive Approach (Second Edition) (Textbooks in Mathematics)
by William Paulsen<p>The new edition of Abstract Algebra: An Interactive Approach presents a hands-on and traditional approach to learning groups, rings, and fields. It then goes further to offer optional technology use to create opportunities for interactive learning and computer use. This new edition offers a more traditional approach offering additional topics to the primary syllabus placed after primary topics are covered. This creates a more natural flow to the order of the subjects presented. This edition is transformed by historical notes and better explanations of why topics are covered. <p>This innovative textbook shows how students can better grasp difficult algebraic concepts through the use of computer programs. It encourages students to experiment with various applications of abstract algebra, thereby obtaining a real-world perspective of this area. Each chapter includes, corresponding Sage notebooks, traditional exercises, and several interactive computer problems that utilize Sage and Mathematica® to explore groups, rings, fields and additional topics. This text does not sacrifice mathematical rigor. It covers classical proofs, such as Abel’s theorem, as well as many topics not found in most standard introductory texts. The author explores semi-direct products, polycyclic groups, Rubik’s Cube®-like puzzles, and Wedderburn’s theorem. The author also incorporates problem sequences that allow students to delve into interesting topics, including Fermat’s two square theorem.</p>
Abstract Algebra: A First Course
by Dan SaracinoThis book is intended for use in a junior-senior level course in abstract algebra. The Second Edition of this text maintains the clear exposition, logical organization, and accessible breadth of coverage that have been its hallmarks. It plunges directly into algebraic structures and incorporates a large number of examples to clarify abstract concepts as they arise. Proofs of theorems do more than just prove the stated results; Saracino examines them so readers gain a better impression of where the proofs come from and why they proceed as they do. Most of the exercises range from easy to moderately difficult and ask for understanding of ideas rather than flashes of insight. The new edition introduces five new sections on field extensions and Galois theory, increasing its versatility by making it appropriate for a two-semester as well as a one-semester course.
Abstract Algebra (Third Edition)
by John A. Beachy William D. BlairBeachy and Blair’s clear narrative presentation responds to the needs of inexperienced students who stumble over proof writing, who understand definitions and theorems but cannot do the problems, and who want more examples that tie into their previous experience. The authors introduce chapters by indicating why the material is important and, at the same time, relating the new material to things from the student’s background and linking the subject matter of the chapter to the broader picture.

Abstract Analytic Number Theory (Dover Books on Mathematics #Volume 12)
by John Knopfmacher"This book is well-written and the bibliography excellent," declared Mathematical Reviews of John Knopfmacher's innovative study. The three-part treatment applies classical analytic number theory to a wide variety of mathematical subjects not usually treated in an arithmetical way. The first part deals with arithmetical semigroups and algebraic enumeration problems; Part Two addresses arithmetical semigroups with analytical properties of classical type; and the final part explores analytical properties of other arithmetical systems.Because of its careful treatment of fundamental concepts and theorems, this text is accessible to readers with a moderate mathematical background, i.e., three years of university-level mathematics. An extensive bibliography is provided, and each chapter includes a selection of references to relevant research papers or books. The book concludes with an appendix that offers several unsolved questions, with interesting proposals for further development.
Abstract Calculus: A Categorical Approach (Chapman & Hall/CRC Monographs and Research Notes in Mathematics)
by Francisco Javier Garcia-PachecoAbstract Calculus: A Categorical Approach provides an abstract approach to calculus. It is intended for graduate students pursuing PhDs in pure mathematics but junior and senior researchers in basically any field of mathematics and theoretical physics will also be interested. Any calculus text for undergraduate students majoring in engineering, mathematics or physics deals with the classical concepts of limits, continuity, differentiability, optimization, integrability, summability, and approximation. This book covers the exact same topics, but from a categorical perspective, making the classification of topological modules as the main category involved. Features Suitable for PhD candidates and researchers Requires prerequisites in set theory, general topology, and abstract algebra, but is otherwise self-contained Dr. Francisco Javier García-Pacheco is a full professor and Director of the Departmental Section of Mathematics at the College of Engineering of the University of Cádiz, Spain.
Abstract Lie Algebras
by David J WinterSolid but concise, this account of Lie algebra emphasizes the theory's simplicity and offers new approaches to major theorems. Author David J. Winter, a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Michigan, also presents a general, extensive treatment of Cartan and related Lie subalgebras over arbitrary fields.Preliminary material covers modules and nonassociate algebras, followed by a compact, self-contained development of the theory of Lie algebras of characteristic 0. Topics include solvable and nilpotent Lie algebras, Cartan subalgebras, and Levi's radical splitting theorem and the complete reducibility of representations of semisimple Lie algebras. Additional subjects include the isomorphism theorem for semisimple Lie algebras and their irreducible modules, automorphism of Lie algebras, and the conjugacy of Cartan subalgebras and Borel subalgebras. An extensive theory of Cartan and related subalgebras of Lie algebras over arbitrary fields is developed in the final chapter, and an appendix offers background on the Zariski topology.
Abstract Methods in Partial Differential Equations
by Robert W. CarrollDetailed and self-contained, this treatment is directed to graduate students with some previous exposure to classical partial differential equations.

Abstract Parabolic Evolution Equations and Łojasiewicz–Simon Inequality I: Abstract Theory (SpringerBriefs in Mathematics)
by Atsushi YagiThe classical Łojasiewicz gradient inequality (1963) was extended by Simon (1983) to the infinite-dimensional setting, now called the Łojasiewicz–Simon gradient inequality. This book presents a unified method to show asymptotic convergence of solutions to a stationary solution for abstract parabolic evolution equations of the gradient form by utilizing this Łojasiewicz–Simon gradient inequality.In order to apply the abstract results to a wider class of concrete nonlinear parabolic equations, the usual Łojasiewicz–Simon inequality is extended, which is published here for the first time. In the second version, these abstract results are applied to reaction–diffusion equations with discontinuous coefficients, reaction–diffusion systems, and epitaxial growth equations. The results are also applied to the famous chemotaxis model, i.e., the Keller–Segel equations even for higher-dimensional ones.
Abstract Parabolic Evolution Equations and Łojasiewicz–Simon Inequality II: Applications (SpringerBriefs in Mathematics)
by Atsushi YagiThis second volume continues the study on asymptotic convergence of global solutions of parabolic equations to stationary solutions by utilizing the theory of abstract parabolic evolution equations and the Łojasiewicz–Simon gradient inequality. In the first volume of the same title, after setting the abstract frameworks of arguments, a general convergence theorem was proved under the four structural assumptions of critical condition, Lyapunov function, angle condition, and gradient inequality. In this volume, with those abstract results reviewed briefly, their applications to concrete parabolic equations are described.Chapter 3 presents a discussion of semilinear parabolic equations of second order in general n-dimensional spaces, and Chapter 4 is devoted to treating epitaxial growth equations of fourth order, which incorporate general roughening functions. In Chapter 5 consideration is given to the Keller–Segel equations in one-, two-, and three-dimensional spaces. Some of these results had already been obtained and published by the author in collaboration with his colleagues. However, by means of the abstract theory described in the first volume, those results can be extended much more.Readers of this monograph should have a standard-level knowledge of functional analysis and of function spaces. Familiarity with functional analytic methods for partial differential equations is also assumed.
Abstract Sets and Finite Ordinals: An Introduction to the Study of Set Theory
by G. B. KeeneThis text unites the logical and philosophical aspects of set theory in a manner intelligible both to mathematicians without training in formal logic and to logicians without a mathematical background. It combines an elementary level of treatment with the highest possible degree of logical rigor and precision.Starting with an explanation of all the basic logical terms and related operations, the text progresses through a stage-by-stage elaboration that proves the fundamental theorems of finite sets. It focuses on the Bernays theory of finite classes and finite sets, exploring the system's basis and development, including Stage I and Stage II theorems, the theory of finite ordinals, and the theory of finite classes and finite sets. This volume represents an excellent text for undergraduates studying intermediate or advanced logic as well as a fine reference for professional mathematicians.

Abzähltheorie nach Pólya (essentials)
by Karl-Heinz ZimmermannIm Zentrum dieses essentials steht der gefeierte Abzählsatz von Pólya. Damit lassen sich kombinatorische Objekte mit Symmetrien abzählen, wie etwa Halsketten mit bunten Perlen und Würfel mit gefärbten Seiten, aber auch Graphen und Bäume. Die Gruppentheorie wird dafür benutzt, die Symmetrien der abzuzählenden Figuren zu beschreiben. Darauf aufbauend kann anhand der Operation der jeweiligen Symmetriegruppe auf den gefärbten Figuren die Anzahl der verschiedenen Muster ermittelt werden. Grundlegend hierfür ist das Lemma von Burnside. Aus seiner gewichteten Fassung wird unter Einbeziehung der Zyklenindexpolynome von Symmetriegruppen der berühmte Pólyasche Satz hergeleitet. Einige Beispiele runden die Darstellung ab.

by Hassan Farhat Joon Sang Lee Sasidhar KondarajuColloids are ubiquitous in the food, medical, cosmetics, polymers, water purification, and pharmaceutical industries. The thermal, mechanical, and storage properties of colloids are highly dependent on their interface morphology and their rheological behavior. Numerical methods provide a convenient and reliable tool for the study of colloids. Accelerated Lattice Boltzmann Model for Colloidal Suspensions introduce the main building-blocks for an improved lattice Boltzmann-based numerical tool designed for the study of colloidal rheology and interface morphology. This book also covers the migrating multi-block used to simulate single component, multi-component, multiphase, and single component multiphase flows and their validation by experimental, numerical, and analytical solutions. Among other topics discussed are the hybrid lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for surfactant-covered droplets; biological suspensions such as blood; used in conjunction with the suppression of coalescence for investigating the rheology of colloids and microvasculature blood flow. The presented LBM model provides a flexible numerical platform consisting of various modules that could be used separately or in combination for the study of a variety of colloids and biological flow deformation problems.
Accelerated Life Testing of One-shot Devices: Data Collection and Analysis
by Narayanaswamy Balakrishnan Man Ho Ling Hon Yiu SoProvides authoritative guidance on statistical analysis techniques and inferential methods for one-shot device life-testing Estimating the reliability of one-shot devices—electro-expolsive devices, fire extinguishers, automobile airbags, and other units that perform their function only once—poses unique analytical challenges to conventional approaches. Due to how one-shot devices are censored, their precise failure times cannot be obtained from testing. The condition of a one-shot device can only be recorded at a specific inspection time, resulting in a lack of lifetime data collected in life-tests.
