Discusses differential invariants of generalized spaces, including various discoveries in the field by Levi-Civita, Weyl, and the author himself, and theories of Schouten, Veblen, Eisenhart and others.
Intended for application of the operational calculus to mathematics, physics and technical problems, this title presents not only the basic principles, ideas and theorems, but also many worked-out problems from purely mathematical and physical as well as from technical fields.
Wallis was one of the most original mathematicians of the seventeenth century and he left his mark on mathematics in many ways. He introduced arithmetical limits into mathematics (his famous infinite-product expression for $\pi$ is an example). This book presents his work.
Suitable for courses that are designed for students who intend to teach mathematics.
Presents the axiom systems of non-Euclidean geometry. This book states and proves theorem after theorem of (hyperbolic) non-Euclidean geometry.
