A Panoply of Polygons presents and organizes hundreds of beautiful, surprising and intriguing results about polygons with more than four sides. (A Cornucopia of Quadrilaterals, a previous volume by the same authors, thoroughly explored the properties of four-sided polygons.) This panoply consists of eight chapters, one dedicated to polygonal ......
Given a compact Lie group G and a commutative orthogonal ring spectrum R such that R[G]* = ?*(R ? G+) is finitely generated and projective over ?*(R), we construct a multiplicative G-Tate spectral sequence for each R-module X in orthogonal G-spectra, with E2-page given by the Hopf algebra Tate cohomology of R[G]* with coefficients in ?*(X). Under ......
Essays from the First 25 Years of the MAA Online Column, Devlin's Angle, 1996-2020
First published in January 1996, Devlin's Angle is a popular online monthly feature on the MAA Math Values website. In this book, Keith Devlin has celebrated the first quarter century of the MAA's web presence by curating a collection of 46 of the 288 posts from that period, chosen for their relevance to K-12 mathematics teaching. The posts are ......
How are maps created? What is the process that enables a location on the Earth's surface to become a point on a sheet of paper? The answer lies in map projections. This book provides a highly readable account of the theory that underpins all major map projections, starting from the concept of map distortion, which all flat maps necessarily ......
This is the first truly comprehensive and thorough history of the development of a mathematical community in the United States and Canada. This second volume starts at the turn of the twentieth century with a mathematical community that is firmly established and traces its growth over the next forty years, at the end of which the American ......
This is the first truly comprehensive and thorough history of the development of mathematics and a mathematical community in the United States and Canada. This first volume of the multi-volume work takes the reader from the European encounters with North America in the fifteenth century up to the emergence of a research community the United States ......
This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on Combinatorial and Geometric Representation Theory, held virtually on November 20-21, 2021. The articles offer an engaging look into recent advancements in geometric representation theory. Despite diverse subject matters, a common thread uniting the articles of this volume is the ......
A Friendly Introduction to Abstract Algebra offers a new approach to laying a foundation for abstract mathematics. Prior experience with proofs is not assumed, and the book takes time to build proof-writing skills in ways that will serve students through a lifetime of learning and creating mathematics. The author's pedagogical philosophy is that ......
A First Course in Stochastic Calculus is a complete guide for advanced undergraduate students to take the next step in exploring probability theory and for master's students in mathematical finance who would like to build an intuitive and theoretical understanding of stochastic processes. This book is also an essential tool for finance ......
