This volume focuses on the outstanding contributions made by botany and the mathematical sciences to the genesis and development of early modern garden art and garden culture.
In addition some advanced methods and extensions, including path integrals, jump diffusion and others are presented.The book consists of four parts: Analysis, Geometry, Perturbations and Applications.
In this monograph, the authors present a modern development of Euclidean geometry from independent axioms, using up-to-date language and providing detailed proofs.
This is an introductory book on the general theory of relativity based partly on lectures given to students of M.Sc. The second part builds the ma- ematical background and the third part deals with topics where mathematics developed in the second part is needed.
This book provides a scientific and intellectual biography of John von Neumann, who proposed a conception of the world as a mathematical game, one globally governed by a universal logic in which individual consciousness moved following different strategies.
This book studies observation and control operators for linear systems where the free evolution of the state can be described by an operator semigroup on a Hilbert space. It includes a large number of examples coming mostly from partial differential equations.
Travelers differ.At one extreme are random travelers who see what they accidentally bump into.At the other extreme are the lock-step travelers who follow a banner (or a red umbrella) and look when and where a voice tells them to look.

This book takes an interdisciplinary approach in discussing the evidence for and against the so-called 'hygiene hypothesis'. It does so in the context of Darwinian medicine, which deploys our knowledge of evolution in an effort to cast light on human diseases.
