Great vintage book!

Product Description: Lie groups and their representations occupy an important place in mathematics with applications in such diverse fields as differential geometry, number theory, differential equations and physics. In 1977 a symposium was held in Oxford to introduce this rapidly developing and expanding subject to non-specialists...read more

Product Description: These notes are based on the course of lectures I gave at Harvard in the fall of 1964. They constitute a self-contained account of vector bundles and K-theory assuming only the rudiments of point-set topology and linear algebra. One of the features of the treatment is that no use is made of ordinary homology or cohomology theory...read more

Product Description: Although the Fields Medal does not have the same public recognition as the Nobel Prizes, they share a similar intellectual standing. It is restricted to one field - that of mathematics - and an age limit of 40 has become an accepted tradition...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Offers the addresses given at a Westminster Abbey ceremony honoring the British physicist, which discuss his life, his character and its effect on his work, and his discoveries in quantum theory, antimatter, and related fields (view table of contents)

Professor Atiyah is one of the greatest living mathematicians and is well known throughout the mathematical world. He is a recipient of the Fields Medal, the mathematical equivalent of the Nobel Prize, and is still at the peak of his career. His huge number of published papers, focusing on the areas of algebraic geometry and topology, have here been collected into six volumes, divided thematically for easy reference by individuals interested in a particular subject. This six volume set of the collected works of professor Sir Michael Atiyah includes: Collected Works: Volume 1: Early Papers; General papers Collected Works: Volume 2: K-Theory Collected Works: Volume 3: Index Theory: 1 Collected Works: Volume 4: Index Theory: 2 Collected Works: Volume 5: Gauge Theories New for 2004-Collected Works: Volume 6: Publications since 1987, including his work on skyrmions, "Atiyah's axioms" for topological quantum field theories, monopolies, knots, K-Theory, equivalent problems, point particles, and M-Theory.

Product Description: Systems governed by non-linear differential equations are of fundamental importance in all branches of science, but our understanding of them is still extremely limited. In this book a particular system, describing the interaction of magnetic monopoles, is investigated in detail...read more
