Fractal Geometry and Stochastics V (repost)




Christoph Bandt, Kenneth J. Falconer, "Fractal Geometry and Stochastics V"


2015 | ISBN-10: 3319186590 | 340 pages | PDF | 6 MB




This book brings together leading contributions from the fifth conference on Fractal Geometry and Stochastics held in Tabarz, Germany, in March 2014.




The book is divided into five sections covering different facets of this fast developing area: geometric measure theory, self-similar fractals and recurrent structures, analysis and algebra on fractals, multifractal theory, and random constructions. There are state-of-the-art surveys as well as papers highlighting more specific recent advances. The authors are world-experts who present their topics comprehensibly and attractively. The book provides an accessible gateway to the subject for newcomers as well as a reference for recent developments for specialists.




Authors include: Krzysztof Barański, Julien Barral, Kenneth Falconer, De-Jun Feng, Peter J. Grabner, Rostislav Grigorchuk, Michael Hinz, Stéphane Jaffard, Maarit Järvenpää, Antti Käenmäki, Marc Kesseböhmer, Michel Lapidus, Klaus Mecke, Mark Pollicott, Michał Rams, Pablo Shmerkin, and András Telcs.

Gauge theory, symplectic geometry and symplectic topology are important areas at the crossroads of several mathematical disciplines.










Divine Proportions: Rational Trigonometry to Universal Geometry




N J Wildberger, "Divine Proportions: Rational Trigonometry to Universal Geometry"


2005 | ISBN-10: 097574920X | 320 pages | PDF | 3 MB




This revolutionary book establishes new foundations for trigonometry and Euclidean geometry. It shows how to replace transcendental trig functions with high school arithmetic and algebra to dramatically simplify the subject, increase accuracy in practical problems, and allow metrical geometry to be systematically developed over a general field. This new theory brings together geometry, algebra and number theory and sets out new directions for algebraic geometry, combinatorics, special functions and computer graphics. The treatment is careful and precise, with over one hundred theorems and 170 diagrams, and is meant for a mathematically mature audience. Gifted high school students will find most of the material accessible, although a few chapters require calculus. Applications include surveying and engineering problems, Platonic solids, spherical and cylindrical coordinate systems, and selected physics problems, such as projectile motion and Snell"s law. Examples over finite fields are also included.
