  • Why Prove it Again?

    Alternative Proofs in Mathematical Practice

    by John W. Dawson, Jr. ...
    This monograph considers several well-known mathematical theorems and asks the question, “Why prove it again?” while examining alternative proofs. It explores the different rationales mathematicians may have for pursuing and presenting new proofs of previously established results, as well as how they judge whether two proofs of a given result are different. While a number of books have examined ... Read more

  • Geology of the Atlantic Ocean

    by John W. Dawson ...
    The Atlantic is also relatively deeper and less cumbered with islands than the Pacific, which has the higher ridges near its shores, constituting what some visitors to the Pacific coast of America have not inaptly called the "back of the world," while the wider slopes face the narrower ocean, into which for this reason the greater part of the drainage of the land is poured...a) What has at first ...

    Two Brothers, the Bering Sea, and One of the World's Deadliest Jobs

    by Andy Hillstrand, Johnathan Hillstrand, Malcolm MacPherson ...
    “Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep, so beware, beware,” goes the chorus of an old sailors’ sing-along that celebrates the allure and danger of the seafaring life. But make no mistake–there truly is much to beware for those who are drawn to risk their lives and seek their fortunes upon the waves. And perhaps none take more chances than the men and women who brave the tempestuous, bountiful ... Read more

  • The Reef

    A Passionate History

    by Iain McCalman ...
    Stretching 1,400 miles along the Australian coast and visible from space, the Great Barrier Reef is home to three thousand individual reefs, more than nine hundred islands, and thousands of marine species, and has alternately been viewed as a deadly maze, an economic bounty, a scientific frontier, and a precarious World Heritage site. Now the historian and explorer Iain McCalman takes us on a new ... Read more

  • A Tale of Two Fractals

    by A.A. Kirillov ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    Since Benoit Mandelbrot's pioneering work in the late 1970s, scores of research articles and books have been published on the topic of fractals. Despite the volume of literature in the field, the general level of theoretical understanding has remained low; most work is aimed either at too mainstream an audience to achieve any depth or at too specialized a community to achieve widespread use. ...

  • Reversibility in Dynamics and Group Theory

    by Anthony G. O'Farrell, Ian Short ...
    Series Book 416 - London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series
    Reversibility is a thread woven through many branches of mathematics. It arises in dynamics, in systems that admit a time-reversal symmetry, and in group theory where the reversible group elements are those that are conjugate to their inverses. However, the lack of a lingua franca for discussing reversibility means that researchers who encounter the concept may be unaware of related work in other ... Read more

  • Refinement Monoids, Equidecomposability Types, and Boolean Inverse Semigroups

    by Friedrich Wehrung ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    Adopting a new universal algebraic approach, this book explores and consolidates the link between Tarski's classical theory of equidecomposability types monoids, abstract measure theory (in the spirit of Hans Dobbertin's work on monoid-valued measures on Boolean algebras) and the nonstable K-theory of rings. This is done via the study of a monoid invariant, defined on Boolean inverse semigroups, ... Read more
