IT’S ABOUT TIME
Elementary Mathematical Aspects of Relativity

Roger Cooke
Apr 2017 410pp
9781470434830 Hardback £76.50 / €84.00

This book has three main goals. First, it explores a selection of topics from the early period of the
theory of relativity, focusing on particular aspects that are interesting or unusual. These include
the twin paradox; relativistic mechanics and its interaction with Maxwell’s laws; the earliest
triumphs of general relativity relating to the orbit of Mercury and the deflection of light passing
near the sun; and the surprising bizarre metric of Kurt Gödel, in which time travel is possible.
Second, it provides an exposition of the differential geometry needed to understand these
topics on a level that is intended to be accessible to those with just two years of university-level
mathematics as background. Third, it reflects on the historical development of the subject and
its significance for our understanding of what reality is and how we can know about the physical
universe. The book also takes note of historical prefigurations of relativity, such as Euler’s 1744
result that a particle moving on a surface and subject to no tangential acceleration will move
along a geodesic, and the work of Lorentz and Poincaré on space-time coordinate transformations
between two observers in motion at constant relative velocity.

The book is aimed at advanced undergraduate mathematics, science, and engineering majors
(and, of course, at any interested person who knows a little university-level mathematics). The
reader is assumed to know the rudiments of advanced calculus, a few techniques for solving
differential equations, some linear algebra, and basics of set theory and groups.

PUSHING LIMITS
From West Point to Berkeley & Beyond

Ted Hill
Apr 2017 334pp
9781470435844 Hardback £45.95 / €51.00

Pushing Limits: From West Point to Berkeley & Beyond challenges the myth that mathematicians lead
dull and ascetic lives. It recounts the unique odyssey of a noted mathematician who overcame
military hurdles at West Point, Army Ranger School and the Vietnam War, and survived many
civilian escapades - hitchhiking in third-world hotspots, fending off sharks in Bahamian reefs, and
camping deep behind the forbidding Iron Curtain. From ultra-conservative West Point in the ’60s
to ultra-radical Berkeley in the ’70s, and ultimately to genteel Georgia Tech in the ’80s, this is the
tale of an academic career as noteworthy for its offbeat adventures as for its teaching and research
accomplishments. It brings to life the struggles and risks underlying mathematical research, the
unparalleled thrill of making scientific breakthroughs, and the joy of sharing those discoveries
around the world. Hill’s book is packed with energy, humour, and suspense, both physical and
intellectual. Anyone who is curious about how a maverick mathematician thinks, who wants to
relive the zanier side of the ’60s and ’70s, who wants an armchair journey into the third world,
or who seeks an unconventional viewpoint about some of our more revered institutions, will be
drawn to this book.

…captivating memoir reveals an intriguing character who is part Renaissance Man, part Huckleberry
Finn.Fast-paced and often hilarious … provides some penetrating and impious insights into some of our
more revered institutions.
—Rick Atkinson, three-time Pulitzer Prize winner, author of The Long Gray Line

Thoughtful, funny, evocative, Ted Hill takes us through a life well-lived … an intensely personal story that
will appeal to every profession - and to every generation!

GAME THEORY, ALIVE AM

Anna R. Karlin & Yuval Peres
May 2017 396pp
9781470419820 Hardback £76.50 / €84.00

We live in a highly connected world with multiple self-interested agents interacting and
myriad opportunities for conflict and cooperation. The goal of game theory is to understand
these opportunities.

This book presents a rigorous introduction to the mathematics of game theory without
losing sight of the joy of the subject. This is done by focusing on theoretical highlights
(e.g., at least six Nobel Prize winning results are developed from scratch) and by presenting
exciting connections of game theory to other fields such as computer science (algorithmic game
theory), economics (auctions and matching markets), social choice (voting theory), biology
(signaling and evolutionary stability), and learning theory. Both classical topics, such as zero-
sum games, and modern topics, such as sponsored search auctions, are covered. Along the way,
beautiful mathematical tools used in game theory are introduced, including convexity, fixed-point
theorems, and probabilistic arguments.

The book is appropriate for a first course in game theory at either the undergraduate or graduate
level, whether in mathematics, economics, computer science, engineering, or statistics. The
importance of game-theoretic thinking transcends the academic setting - for every action
we take, we must consider not only its direct effects, but also how it influences the incentives
of others.

Game theory’s influence is felt in a wide range of disciplines, and the authors deliver masterfully on the
challenge of presenting both the breadth and coherence of its underlying world-view.The book achieves
a remarkable synthesis, introducing the reader to the blend of economic insight, mathematical elegance,
scientific impact, and counter-intuitive punch that characterizes game theory as a field.
—Jon Kleinberg, Cornell University, 2006 Nevanlinna Prize winner

A game theory textbook by people who love … games! It covers many classic as well as recent topics of
game theory.Its rigorous treatment, interspersed with illuminating examples, makes it a challenging
pleasure to read.
—Sergiu Hart, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

GAME THEORY
A Playful Introduction

Matt DeVos & Deborah Kent
Jan 2017 360pp
9781470422103 Paperback £49.95 / €55.00
Student Mathematical Library, Vol. 80

Offers a gentle introduction to the mathematics of both sides of game theory: combinatorial and
classical. The combination allows for a dynamic and rich tour of the subject united by a common
theme of strategic reasoning.

The first four chapters develop combinatorial game theory, beginning with an introduction to
game trees and mathematical induction, then investigating the games of Nim and Hackenbush.
The analysis of these games concludes with the cornerstones of the Sprague-Grundy Theorem
and the Simplicity Principle.

The last eight chapters of the book offer a scenic journey through the mathematical highlights
of classical game theory. This contains a thorough treatment of zero-sum games and the von
Neumann Minimax Theorem, as well as a student-friendly development and proof of the Nash
Equilibrium Theorem. The Folk Theorem, Arrow's voting paradox, evolutionary biology,
cake-cutting, and other engaging auxiliary topics also appear.

The book is designed as a textbook for an undergraduate mathematics class. With ample material
and limited dependencies between the chapters, the book is adaptable to a variety of situations
and a range of audiences. Instructors, students, and independent readers alike will appreciate the
flexibility in content choices as well as the generous sets of exercises at various levels.

LARGE DEVIATIONS

S.R.S. Varadhan
Dec 2016 104pp
9780821840863 Paperback £36.95 / €41.00
Courant Lecture Notes, Vol. 27

The theory of large deviations deals with rates at which probabilities of certain events decay as a
natural parameter in the problem varies. This book, which is based on a graduate course on large
deviations at the Courant Institute, focuses on three concrete sets of examples: (i) diffusions
with small noise and the exit problem, (ii) large time behavior of Markov processes and their
connection to the Feynman-Kac formula and the related large deviation behavior of the number
of distinct sites visited by a random walk, and (iii) interacting particle systems, their scaling limits,
and large deviations from their expected limits. For the most part the examples are worked out in
detail, and in the process the subject of large deviations is developed.

The book will give the reader a flavour of how large deviation theory can help in problems that are
not posed directly in terms of large deviations.

ORDERED GROUPS AND TOPOLOGY

Adam Clay & Dale Rolfsen
Dec 2016 154pp
9781470431068 Hardback £80.50 / €89.00
Graduate Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 176

Deals with the connections between topology and ordered groups. It begins with a self-contained
introduction to orderable groups and from there explores the interactions between orderability
and objects in low-dimensional topology, such as knot theory, braid groups, and 3-manifolds, as
well as groups of homeomorphisms and other topological structures. The book also addresses
recent applications of orderability in the studies of codimension-one foliations and
Heegaard-Floer homology. The use of topological methods in proving algebraic results is another
feature of the book.

The book was written to serve both as a textbook for graduate students, containing many
exercises, and as a reference for researchers in topology, algebra, and dynamical systems.

CARTAN FOR BEGINNERS
Differential Geometry via Moving Frames and
Exterior Differential Systems, Second Edition

Thomas A. Ivey & Joseph M. Landsberg
Jan 2017 455pp

9781470409869 Hardback £90.50 / €100.00

Graduate Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 175

Two central aspects of Cartan's approach to differential geometry are the theory of exterior
differential systems (EDS) and the method of moving frames. This book presents thorough
and modern treatments of both subjects, including their applications to both classic and
contemporary problems in geometry. It begins with the classical differential geometry of surfaces
and basic Riemannian geometry in the language of moving frames, along with an elementary
introduction to exterior differential systems. Key concepts are developed incrementally, with
motivating examples leading to definitions, theorems, and proofs.

Once the basics of the methods are established, the authors develop applications and advanced
topics. One notable application is to complex algebraic geometry, where they expand and update
important results from projective differential geometry. As well, the book features an introduction
to G-structures and a treatment of the theory of connections. The techniques of EDS are also
applied to obtain explicit solutions of PDEs via Darboux's method, the method of characteristics,
and Cartan's method of equivalence.

The second edition features three new chapters: on Riemannian geometry, emphasizing the use
of representation theory; on the latest developments in the study of Darboux-integrable systems;
and on conformal geometry, written in a manner to introduce readers to the related parabolic
geometry perspective.

DIFFERENTIAL GALOIS THEORY THROUGH
RIEMANN-HILBERT CORRESPONDENCE
An Elementary Introduction

Jacques Sauloy
Jan 2017 279pp
9781470430955 Hardback £90.50 / €100.00
Graduate Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 177

Differential Galois theory is an important, fast developing area which appears more and more in
graduate courses since it mixes fundamental objects from many different areas of mathematics
in a stimulating context. For a long time, the dominant approach, usually called Picard-Vessiot
Theory, was purely algebraic. This approach has been extensively developed and is well covered in
the literature. An alternative approach consists in tagging algebraic objects with transcendental
information which enriches the understanding and brings not only new points of view but
also new solutions. It is very powerful and can be applied in situations where the Picard-Vessiot
approach is not easily extended. This book offers a hands-on transcendental approach to
differential Galois theory, based on the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence. Along the way, it
provides a smooth, down-to-earth introduction to algebraic geometry, category theory and
tannakian duality.

Since the book studies only complex analytic linear differential equations, the main prerequisites
are complex function theory, linear algebra, and an elementary knowledge of groups and
of polynomials in many variables. A large variety of examples, exercises, and theoretical
constructions, often via explicit computations, offers first-year graduate students an accessible
entry into this exciting area.

QUIVER REPRESENTATIONS AND QUIVER VARIETIES

Alexander Kirillov, Jr.
Nov 2016 295pp
9781470423070 Hardback £90.50 / €100.00
Graduates Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 174

An introduction to the theory of quiver representations and quiver varieties, starting with basic
definitions and ending with Nakajima's work on quiver varieties and the geometric realization of
Kac–Moody Lie algebras.

The first part of the book is devoted to the classical theory of quivers of finite type. Here the
exposition is mostly self-contained and all important proofs are presented in detail. The second
part contains the more recent topics of quiver theory that are related to quivers of infinite type:
Coxeter functor, tame and wild quivers, McKay correspondence, and representations of Euclidean
quivers. In the third part, topics related to geometric aspects of quiver theory are discussed, such
as quiver varieties, Hilbert schemes, and the geometric realization of Kac–Moody algebras. Here
some of the more technical proofs are omitted; instead only the statements and some ideas of
the proofs are given, and the reader is referred to original papers for details. The exposition in the
book requires only a basic knowledge of algebraic geometry, differential geometry, and the theory
of Lie groups and Lie algebras. Some sections use the language of derived categories; however, the
use of this language is reduced to a minimum. The many examples make the book accessible to
graduate students who want to learn about quivers, their representations, and their relations to
algebraic geometry and Lie algebras.

ALGEBRA IN ACTION
A Course in Groups, Rings, and Fields

Shahriar Shahriari
Apr 2017 655pp
9781470428495 Hardback £120.00 / €130.00
Pure and Applied Undergraduate Texts, Vol. 27

Based on the author’s popular courses at Pomona College, this text provides a readable,
student-friendly, and somewhat sophisticated introduction to abstract algebra. It is aimed at
sophomore or junior undergraduates who are seeing the material for the first time. In addition
to the usual definitions and theorems, there is ample discussion to help students build intuition
and learn how to think about the abstract concepts. The book has over 1300 exercises and
mini-projects of varying degrees of difficulty, and, to facilitate active learning and self-study, hints
and short answers for many of the problems are provided. There are full solutions to over 100
problems in order to augment the text and to model the writing of solutions. Lattice diagrams are
used throughout to visually demonstrate results and proof techniques. The book covers groups,
rings, and fields. In group theory, group actions are the unifying theme and are introduced early.
Ring theory is motivated by what is needed for solving Diophantine equations, and, in field theory,
Galois theory and the solvability of polynomials take center stage. In each area, the text goes deep
enough to demonstrate the power of abstract thinking and to convince the reader that the subject
is full of unexpected results.

THE TOOLS OF MATHEMATICAL REASONING

Tamara J. Lakins
Oct 2016 217pp
9781470428990 Hardback £70.50 / €77.00
Pure and Applied Undergraduate Texts, Vol. 26

This accessible textbook gives beginning undergraduate mathematics students a first exposure
to introductory logic, proofs, sets, functions, number theory, relations, finite and infinite sets, and
the foundations of analysis. The book provides students with a quick path to writing proofs and a
practical collection of tools that they can use in later mathematics courses such as abstract algebra
and analysis. The importance of the logical structure of a mathematical statement as a framework
for finding a proof of that statement, and the proper use of variables, is an early and consistent
theme used throughout the book.

MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS AND ITS INHERENT NATURE

Hossein Hosseini Giv
Oct 2016 351pp
9781470428075 Hardback £90.50 / €100.00
Pure and Applied Undergraduate Texts, Vol. 25

Mathematical analysis is often referred to as generalized calculus. But it is much more than that.
This book has been written in the belief that emphasizing the inherent nature of a mathematical
discipline helps students to understand it better. With this in mind, and focusing on the essence
of analysis, the text is divided into two parts based on the way they are related to calculus:
completion and abstraction. The first part describes those aspects of analysis which complete
a corresponding area of calculus theoretically, while the second part concentrates on the way
analysis generalizes some aspects of calculus to a more general framework. Presenting the
contents in this way has an important advantage: students first learn the most important aspects
of analysis on the classical space R and then fill in the gaps of their calculus-based knowledge. Then
they proceed to a step-by-step development of an abstract theory, namely, the theory of metric
spaces which explores such crucial notions as limit, continuity, and convergence in a wider context.
The readers are assumed to have passed courses in one- and several-variable calculus and an
elementary course on the foundations of mathematics. A large variety of exercises and the
inclusion of informal interpretations of many results and examples will greatly facilitate the
reader's study of the subject.

LECTURES ON CHEVALLEY GROUPS

Robert Steinberg
Feb 2017 157pp
9781470431051 Paperback £35.95 / €40.00
University Lecture Series, Vol. 66

Robert Steinberg’s Lectures on Chevalley Groups were delivered and written during the author’s
sabbatical visit to Yale University in the 1967–1968 academic year. The work presents the
status of the theory of Chevalley groups as it was in the mid-1960s. Much of this material was
instrumental in many areas of mathematics, in particular in the theory of algebraic groups and in
the subsequent classification of finite groups. This posthumous edition incorporates additions
and corrections prepared by the author during his retirement, including a new introductory
chapter. A bibliography and editorial notes have also been added.

This is a great unsurpassed introduction to the subject of Chevalley groups that influenced generations of
mathematicians.I would recommend it to anybody whose interests include group theory.
—Efin Zelmanov, University of California, Los Angeles

Robert Steinberg’s lectures on Chevalley groups were given at Yale University in 1967.The notes for the
lectures contain a wonderful exposition of the work of Chevalley, as well as important additions to that
work due to Steinberg himself.The theory of Chevalley groups is of central importance not only for group
theory, but also for number theory and theoretical physics, and is as relevant today as it was in 1967.The
publication of these lecture notes in book form is a very welcome addition to the literature.

ALGEBRAIC INEQUALITIES: NEW VISTAS

Titu Andreescu & Mark Saul
Dec 2016 126pp
9781470434649 Paperback £41.95 / €46.00
MSRI Mathematical Circles Library, Vol. 19

This book starts with simple arithmetic inequalities and builds to sophisticated inequality results
such as the Cauchy-Schwarz and Chebyshev inequalities. Nothing beyond high school algebra
is required of the student. The exposition is lean. Most of the learning occurs as the student
engages in the problems posed in each chapter. And the learning is not "linear''. The central topic
of inequalities is linked to others in mathematics. Often these topics relate to much more than
algebraic inequalities.

There are also "secret'' pathways through the book. Each chapter has a subtext, a theme which
prepares the student for learning other mathematical topics, concepts, or habits of mind. For
example, the early chapters on the arithmetic mean/geometric mean inequality show how very
simple observations can be leveraged to yield useful and interesting results. Later chapters give
examples of how one can generalize a mathematical statement. The chapter on the Cauchy-
Schwarz inequality provides an introduction to vectors as mathematical objects. And there are
many other secret pathways that the authors hope the reader will discover and follow.
In the interest of fostering a greater awareness and appreciation of mathematics and its
connections to other disciplines and everyday life, MSRI and the AMS are publishing books in the
Mathematical Circles Library series as a service to young people, their parents and teachers, and the
mathematics profession.

IAS/PCMI-The Teacher Program Series, Vol. 5

A carefully sequenced collection of problem sets designed to develop several interconnected
mathematical themes, and one of the goals of the problem sets is for readers to uncover these
themes for themselves. The goal of Moving Things Around is to help participants make what might
seem to be surprising connections among seemingly different areas: permutation groups, number
theory, and expansions for rational numbers in various bases, all starting from the analysis of card
shuffles. Another goal is to use these connections to bring some coherence to several ideas that
run throughout school mathematics-rational number arithmetic, different representations for
rational numbers, geometric transformations, and combinatorics. The theme of seeking structural
similarities is developed slowly, leading, near the end of the course, to an informal treatment
of isomorphism.
