This is the first truly comprehensive and thorough history of the development of mathematics and a mathematical community in the United States and Canada. This first volume of the multi-volume work takes the reader from the European encounters with North America in the fifteenth century up to the emergence of a research community the United States ......
Essays from the First 25 Years of the MAA Online Column, Devlin's Angle, 1996-2020
First published in January 1996, Devlin's Angle is a popular online monthly feature on the MAA Math Values website. In this book, Keith Devlin has celebrated the first quarter century of the MAA's web presence by curating a collection of 46 of the 288 posts from that period, chosen for their relevance to K-12 mathematics teaching. The posts are ......
Given a compact Lie group G and a commutative orthogonal ring spectrum R such that R[G]* = ?*(R ? G+) is finitely generated and projective over ?*(R), we construct a multiplicative G-Tate spectral sequence for each R-module X in orthogonal G-spectra, with E2-page given by the Hopf algebra Tate cohomology of R[G]* with coefficients in ?*(X). Under ......
A Panoply of Polygons presents and organizes hundreds of beautiful, surprising and intriguing results about polygons with more than four sides. (A Cornucopia of Quadrilaterals, a previous volume by the same authors, thoroughly explored the properties of four-sided polygons.) This panoply consists of eight chapters, one dedicated to polygonal ......
This volume contains the proceedings of the conference A Panorama on Singular Varieties, celebrating the 70th birthday of Le Dung Trang, held from February 7-10, 2017, at the University of Seville, IMUS, Seville, Spain. The articles cover a wide range of topics in the study of singularities and should be of great value to graduate students and ......
A Passage to Modern Analysis is an extremely well-written and reader-friendly invitation to real analysis. An introductory text for students of mathematics and its applications at the advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate level, it strikes an especially good balance between depth of coverage and accessible exposition. The examples, ......
The Memoirs of the AMS is devoted to the publication of new research in all areas of pure and applied mathematics. The Memoirs is designed particularly to publish long papers of groups of cognate papers in book form, and is under the supervision of the Editorial Committee of the AMS journal Transactions of the American Mathematical Society. All ......
