This book is sooooooo informational! It rocks! It has a lot of info on everything about Greece! It has alot of great pictures of artifacts. It also has pictures of Gods and/or Godesses fighting mythical creatures. I REALLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!

Commutative Ring Theory (Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics)

H. Matsumura

Cambridge University Press, 1989

Truly Beautiful
Matsumura has achieved a great success with this book. The first nine chapters contain all of the algebra used in Hartshorne's _Algebraic Geometry_, and a reader who masters all of that material will be well on the way to a solid understanding of algebraic geometry. ...

Undergraduate Commutative Algebra (London Mathematical Society Student Texts)

Miles Reid

Cambridge University Press, 1996

"Undergraduate" in the best way
The material in this book is not usually considered "undergraduate": Noether normalization, spectra of rings, discrete valuation rings, and more. But this book makes them very clear. It is more geometrical, and has more motivation, than Atiyah and MacDonald ...

Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series)

Cambridge University Press, 2004

Peter Swinnerton-Dyer's mathematical career encompasses more than 60 years' work of amazing creativity. This volume, dedicated to him on the occasion of his 75th birthday, provides contemporary insight into several subjects in which his influence has been notable. The contributions come from leading researchers in analytic and arithmetic number ...

Solitons: Differential equations, symmetries and infinite dimensional algebras (Cambridge Tracts in ...

T. Miwa, M. Jimbo, ...

Cambridge University Press, 2000

Excellent introduction to Kyoto school approach to integrable models
There are various approaches to classical integrable models. Each comes from a different school, and each has a certain flavour. Examples include: The Hamiltonian approach of the Faddeev school, the algebraic geometric approach of the Novikov school, and the analytic ...

Asheville and Western North Carolina in World War II (NC) (Images of America)
Reid Chapman, Deborah Miles

Arcadia Publishing, 2006

World War II served as a rallying call in Asheville and Western North Carolina, putting the citizens back to work. Asheville's two strongest economic sectors, tourism and medicine; its beautiful isolation; and advanced hospitals served the nation's needs during the Second World War. The United States secreted German and Japanese businessmen, ...

Geometry and Topology
Miles Reid, Balazs Szendroi

Cambridge University Press, 2005

Geometry is central to many branches of mathematics and physics, and offers a complete range of views on the universe. This introduction includes many simple explanations and examples. With minimal prerequisites, the book provides a first glimpse of many research topics in modern algebra, geometry and theoretical physics. The book is based on many ...

Undergraduate Algebraic Geometry (London Mathematical Society Student Texts)

Miles Reid

Cambridge University Press, 1989

baked just right for the first timers !
There are many good books on the subject of algebraic geometry, so what was the use of one more - asks the author in the preface to this book. But there are none -at the UG level- which for the first time reveal to the younger mathematicians the secrets of this vast ...
