Praise for George Francis's A Topological Picturebook:
Bravo to Springer for reissuing this exact and gorgeous booklet! It not just reminds the older new release of the pleasures of doing arithmetic by way of hand, but additionally exhibits the hot iteration what ``hands on'' particularly means.
- John Stillwell, collage of San Francisco
The Topological Picturebook has taught a complete new release of mathematicians to attract, to determine, and to think.
- Tony Robbin, artist and writer of Shadows of truth: The Fourth measurement in Relativity, Cubism, and smooth Thought
The vintage reference for a way to provide topological information visually, choked with extraordinary hand-drawn pictures of advanced surfaces.
- John Sullivan, Technische Universitat Berlin
A Topological Picturebook we could scholars see topology because the unique discoverers conceived it: concrete and visible, freed from the formalism that burdens traditional textbooks.
- Jeffrey Weeks, writer of The form of Space
A Topological Picturebook is a visible ceremonial dinner for an individual fascinated by mathematical images. Francis presents beautiful examples to construct one's "visualization muscles". while, he explains the underlying ideas and layout concepts for readers to create their very own lucid drawings.
- George W. Hart, Stony Brook University
In this number of narrative gem stones and fascinating hand-drawn photos, George Francis demonstrates the chicken-and-egg dating, in arithmetic, of snapshot and textual content. because the publication used to be first released, the case for images in arithmetic has been received, and now it's time to examine their which means. A Topological Picturebook is still indispensable.
- Marjorie Senechal, Smith collage and co-editor of the Mathematical Intelligencer

Algebraic topology (also referred to as homotopy idea) is a flourishing department of contemporary arithmetic. it's very a lot a global topic and this is often mirrored within the history of the 36 prime specialists who've contributed to the instruction manual. Written for the reader who already has a grounding within the topic, the quantity contains 27 expository surveys protecting the main lively parts of study.

This quantity is devoted to the reminiscence of the past due Oded Schramm (1961-2008), distinct mathematician. all through his profession, Schramm made profound and lovely contributions to arithmetic that may have an enduring effect. In those volumes, Editors Itai Benjamini and Olle Häggström have accumulated a few of his papers, supplemented with 3 survey papers through Steffen Rohde, Häggström and Cristophe Garban that additional elucidate his paintings.
We examine GIT quotients of polarized curves. extra particularly, we research the GIT challenge for the Hilbert and Chow schemes of curves of measure d and genus g in a projective area of size d-g, as d decreases with admire to g. We end up that the 1st 3 values of d at which the GIT quotients switch are given by means of d=a(2g-2) the place a=2, three.
