  • Handbook of Econometrics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 3
    • Michael D. Intriligator + 1 more
    • English
    The Handbook is a definitive reference source and teaching aid for econometricians. It examines models, estimation theory, data analysis and field applications in econometrics. Comprehensive surveys, written by experts, discuss recent developments at a level suitable for professional use by economists, econometricians, statisticians, and in advanced graduate econometrics courses.

  • A Theory of Sets

    • 2nd Edition
    • Volume 108
    • English
    This book provides graduate students and professional mathematicians with a formal unified treatment of logic and set theory. The formalization can be used without change to build just about any mathematical structure on some suitable foundation of definitions and axioms. In addition to most of the topics considered standard fare for set theory several special ones are treated. This book will be found useful as a text for a substantial one-semester course in set theory and that the student will find continuing use for the formal and highly flexible language

  • Number Theory

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 20
    • English
    This book is written for the student in mathematics. Its goal is to give a view of the theory of numbers, of the problems with which this theory deals, and of the methods that are used. We have avoided that style which gives a systematic development of the apparatus and have used instead a freer style, in which the problems and the methods of solution are closely interwoven. We start from concrete problems in number theory. General theories arise as tools for solving these problems. As a rule, these theories are developed sufficiently far so that the reader can see for himself their strength and beauty, and so that he learns to apply them. Most of the questions that are examined in this book are connected with the theory of diophantine equations - that is, with the theory of the solutions in integers of equations in several variables. However, we also consider questions of other types; for example, we derive the theorem of Dirichlet on prime numbers in arithmetic progressions and investigate the growth of the number of solutions of congruences.

  • Complex Cobordism and Stable Homotopy Groups of Spheres

  • Complex Analysis, Functional Analysis and Approximation Theory

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 125
    • J. Mujica
    • English
    This proceedings volume contains papers of research of expository nature, and is addressed to research workers and advanced graduate students in mathematics. Some of the papers are the written and expanded texts of lectures delivered at the conference, whereas others have been included by invitation.

  • Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science VII

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 114
    • R. Barcan Marcus + 2 more
    • English

  • An Introduction to Differentiable Manifolds and Riemannian Geometry

    • 2nd Edition
    • Volume 120
    • English

  • Stability of Functional Differential Equations

    • 1st Edition
    • English
    This book provides an introduction to the structure and stability properties of solutions of functional differential equations. Numerous examples of applications (such as feedback systrems with aftereffect, two-reflector antennae, nuclear reactors, mathematical models in immunology, viscoelastic bodies, aeroautoelastic phenomena and so on) are considered in detail. The development is illustrated by numerous figures and tables.

  • Cubic Forms

    Algebra, Geometry, Arithmetic
    • 2nd Edition
    • Volume 4
    • Yu.I. Manin
    • English
    Since this book was first published in English, there has been important progress in a number of related topics. The class of algebraic varieties close to the rational ones has crystallized as a natural domain for the methods developed and expounded in this volume. For this revised edition, the original text has been left intact (except for a few corrections) and has been brought up to date by the addition of an Appendix and recent references.The Appendix sketches some of the most essential new results, constructions and ideas, including the solutions of the Luroth and Zariski problems, the theory of the descent and obstructions to the Hasse principle on rational varieties, and recent applications of K-theory to arithmetic.

  • Handbook of Mathematical Economics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 3
    • English
    The Handbook of Mathematical Economics aims to provide a definitive source, reference, and teaching supplement for the field of mathematical economics. It surveys, as of the late 1970's the state of the art of mathematical economics. This is a constantly developing field and all authors were invited to review and to appraise the current status and recent developments in their presentations. In addition to its use as a reference, it is intended that this Handbook will assist researchers and students working in one branch of mathematical economics to become acquainted with other branches of this field. Volume I deals with Mathematical Methods in Economics, including reviews of the concepts and techniques that have been most useful for the mathematical development of economic theory. Volume II elaborates on Mathematical Approaches to Microeconomic Theory, including consumer, producer, oligopoly, and duality theory, as well as Mathematical Approaches to Competitive Equilibrium including such aspects of competitive equilibrium as existence, stability, uncertainty, the computation of equilibrium prices, and the core of an economy.
