Optimal control theory concerns the study of dynamical systems where one operates a control parameter with the goal of optimizing a given payoff function. This textbook provides an accessible, examples-led approach to the subject. The text focuses on systems modeled by differential equations, with applications drawn from a wide range of topics, ......
Scenes from the Early History of Algebraic Number Theory
In mathematics, technical difficulties can spark groundbreaking ideas. This book explores one such challenge: a problem that arose in the formative years of algebraic number theory and played a major role in the early development of the field. When nineteenth-century mathematicians set out to generalize E. E. Kummer's theory of ideal divisors in ......
This volume consists of surveys on topics to which Bernd Sturmfels has contributed over his mathematical career: invariant theory, Grobner bases, toric ideals and varieties, algebraic methods in discrete and convex optimization, hypergeometric systems, algebraic statistics, likelihood geometry, tropical geometry, chemical reaction networks, ......
Charlotte Angas Scott and Bryn Mawr College, 1880s to 1920s
This book examines the creation and character of mathematical training at Bryn Mawr College between 1885 and 1926 under the leadership of Charlotte Angas Scott. Though designated as a college, Bryn Mawr boasted the world's first graduate degree programs in which women taught women. Through detailed analysis of Scott's publications, student ......
This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Western Sectional Meeting on Algebraic Structures in Knot Theory held on May 6-7, 2023, at California State University, Fresno, California. Modern knot theory includes the study of a diversity of different knotted objects-classical knots, surface-links, knotoids, spatial graphs, and more. Knot ......
