Algebraic GeometryA Problem Solving Approach

Thomas Garrity et al.A problem-driven introduction to algebraic geometry that requires its readers to think through the mathematics, thereby truly grasping the con-cepts.

Difference SetsConnecting Algebra,

Combinatorics, and Geometry

Emily H. Moore, Grinnell College, IA, and Harriet S. Pollatsek, Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, MAThe goal of this book is to

serve prospective undergraduate researchers of difference sets, as well as to provide a rich text for a senior seminar or capstone course in mathematics, with the hope that readers will acquire a solid foundation that will empower them to explore the literature on difference sets independently.

Euler Through TimeA New Look at Old Themes

V. S. Varadarajan, University of California, Los Angeles, CA

...[T]he author has admirably managed to organize the text in such a manner that an inter-

ested non-specialist will find the whole story comprehensible, absorbing, and enjoyable. This book has been written with the greatest insight, expertise, experience, and passion on the part of the author, and it should be seen as what it really is: a cultural jewel in the math-ematical literature as a whole!

A Mathematician’sSurvival GuideGraduate School and Early

Career Development

Steven G. Krantz, Washington University, St. Louis, MO

In his inimitable and forthright style, Steven Krantz addresses the major issues of graduate school, including choosing a program, passing the qualifying exams, finding an advisor, writ-ing a thesis, and getting that first job, all the while avoiding generalities and giving clear advice on how to handle real situations.

Introduction to Representation TheoryPavel Etingof et al. with historical interludes by Slava Gerovitch, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA

The goal of this book is to give a “holistic” introduction to representation theory, pre-senting it as a unified subject which studies representations of associative algebras and treating the representation theories of groups, Lie algebras, and quivers as special cases.

Stephen Smale: TheMathematicianWho Broke the DimensionBarrier

Steve Batterson, Emory University, Atlanta, GA

To write this biography involved tremendous work, but the result is brilliant … accessible for nonmathematicians … On the other hand, the author’s skillful presentation of Smale’s mathematical discoveries will surely attract the interest of professional mathematicians … In many respects it is a masterpiece.
