Why is the Devil thrilled when Hell gets its first mathematician? Originally appearing in The Mathematical Intelligencer, an expository mathematics magazine, these tales give a decidedly unconventional look at the world of mathematics and mathematicians.
Sure, to many, mathematics seems to come from hell, but the darkness in the title in fact refers to the lugubrious stories about... Læs mere
?We study the existence and regularity of optimal domains for functionals depending on the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian or of more general Schrödinger operators.
This beginners' course provides students with a general and sufficiently easy to grasp theory of... Læs mere
This book provides a systematic survey of classical and recent results on hyperbolic cross approximation. Motivated by numerous applications, the last two decades have seen great success in studying multivariate approximation.
