Na een mislukte liefdesrelatie met een gevierde filmheld besluit een jonge vrouw een agentschap op te richten om nieuwe en gevestigde filmsterren te begeleiden.

This textbook introduces geometric measure theory through the notion of currents. Currents, continuous linear functionals on spaces of differential forms, are a natural language in which to formulate types of extremal problems arising in geometry, and can be used to study generalized versions of the Plateau problem and related questions in geometric analysis. Motivating key ideas with examples and figures, this book is a comprehensive introduction ideal for both self-study and for use in the classroom. The exposition demands minimal background, is self-contained and accessible, and thus is ideal for both graduate students and researchers.

This book is written to be a convenient reference for the working scientist, student, or engineer who needs to know and use basic concepts in complex analysis. It is not a book of mathematical theory. It is instead a book of mathematical practice. All the basic ideas of complex analysis, as well as many typical applica tions, are treated. Since we are not developing theory and proofs, we have not been obliged to conform to a strict logical ordering of topics. Instead, topics have been organized for ease of reference, so that cognate topics appear in one place. Required background for reading the text is minimal: a good ground ing in (real variable) calculus will suffice. However, the reader who gets maximum utility from the book will be that reader who has had a course in complex analysis at some time in his life. This book is a handy com pendium of all basic facts about complex variable theory. But it is not a textbook, and a person would be hard put to endeavor to learn the subject by reading this book.

The book features an enhanced Preface designed to guide instructors in tailoring their courses effectively. It includes clear prerequisites and a structured roadmap to facilitate course development. Additionally, sample syllabi are provided to assist in planning and organization, making it a valuable resource for educators.

The book systematically explores the fundamental analytic and geometric aspects of Bergman's classic kernel theory, focusing on its invariance properties. Each chapter is enriched with illustrative examples to enhance understanding, alongside a collection of exercises designed to reinforce the concepts presented.

* Presented from a geometric analytical viewpoint, this work addresses advanced topics in complex analysis that verge on modern areas of research * Methodically designed with individual chapters containing a rich collection of exercises, examples, and illustrations

The evolution of mathematical proof is traced from its origins with ancient figures like Euclid and Pythagoras to its contemporary applications. The narrative spans across different cultures and historical periods, highlighting significant transformations in the understanding and significance of mathematical proof throughout the ages. This exploration reveals the profound impact of mathematics on various fields and illustrates its ongoing relevance in today's world.

The perfect supplement to the standard Discrete Mathematics texts, which tend to be dry, complicated, abstract, and inordinately expensive.

Big animals sleep, just like you! But where? And how? Let's take a look at what some big creatures do when you are asleep and the day is through. We're used to seeing animals during the day, but where and how do they sleep at night? From gorillas to elephants and ostriches to rhinos, plus anacondas and hippos and more, this rhyming book shows kids where big animals bed down in the wild.

Focusing on the essential role of logic in modern mathematics, this handbook aims to bridge the gap between complex mathematical concepts and those with basic mathematical knowledge. Unlike more specialized texts, it introduces key terminology and ideas in a clear manner, making it accessible to mathematical scientists who may not have a deep background in logic. The work is designed to provide a foundational understanding of modern logic, including contemporary topics, catering specifically to readers seeking to enhance their familiarity with the subject.
