We study embeddings of PSL2(pa) into exceptional groups G(pb)forG = F4,E6,2E6,E7,andp aprimewitha,b positive integers. With a few possible exceptions, we prove that any almost simple group with socle PSL2(pa), that is maximal inside an almost simple exceptional group of Lie type F4, E6, 2E6 and E7, is the fixed points under the Frobenius map of a ......
Max Dehn (1878-1952) is known to mathematicians today for his seminal contributions to geometry and topology-Dehn surgery, Dehn twists, the Dehn invariant, etc. He is also remembered as the first mathematician to solve one of Hilbert's famous problems. However, Dehn's influence as a scholar and teacher extended far beyond his mathematics. Dehn ......
This book offers an introduction to the use of matrix theory and linear algebra in modeling the dynamics of biological populations. Matrix algebra has been used in population biology since the 1940s and continues to play a major role in theoretical and applied dynamics for populations structured by age, body size or weight, disease states, ......
This book presents nine variations on a classic and beloved puzzle type. Building upon the rules of Sudoku, the puzzles in this volume introduce new challenges by adding clues involving sums, differences, means, divisibility, and more. Each of the first eight chapters presents a rule system followed by a series of puzzles that progress in ......
