A textbook for either a semester or year course for graduate students of mathematics who have had at least one course in topology. Introduces continuum theory through a combination of classical and modern techniques. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or....
The Separable Galois Theory of Commutative Rings
2nd Edition
By Andy R. Magid
July 14, 2014
The Separable Galois Theory of Commutative Rings, Second Edition provides a complete and self-contained account of the Galois theory of commutative rings from the viewpoint of categorical classification theorems and using solely the techniques of commutative algebra. Along with updating nearly ...
Geomathematically Oriented Potential Theory
1st Edition
By Willi Freeden, Christian Gerhards
October 30, 2012
As the Earth`s surface deviates from its spherical shape by less than 0.4 percent of its radius and today’s satellite missions collect their gravitational and magnetic data on nearly spherical orbits, sphere-oriented mathematical methods and tools play important roles in studying the Earth’s ...

Classes of Modules
1st Edition
By John Dauns, Yiqiang Zhou
June 19, 2006
Because traditional ring theory places restrictive hypotheses on all submodules of a module, its results apply only to small classes of already well understood examples. Often, modules with infinite Goldie dimension have finite-type dimension, making them amenable to use with type dimension, but ...
Non-Unique Factorizations: Algebraic, Combinatorial and Analytic Theory
1st Edition
By Alfred Geroldinger, Franz Halter-Koch
January 13, 2006
From its origins in algebraic number theory, the theory of non-unique factorizations has emerged as an independent branch of algebra and number theory. Focused efforts over the past few decades have wrought a great number and variety of results. However, these remain dispersed throughout the vast ...
Analysis and Approximation of Contact Problems with Adhesion or Damage
1st Edition
By Mircea Sofonea, Weimin Han, Meir Shillor
September 26, 2005
Research into contact problems continues to produce a rapidly growing body of knowledge. Recognizing the need for a single, concise source of information on models and analysis of contact problems, accomplished experts Sofonea, Han, and Shillor carefully selected several models and thoroughly study...
