The purpose of GLIMPSES OF ALGEBRA AND GEOMETRY is to fill a gap between undergraduate and graduate mathematics studies. It is one of the few undergraduate texts to explore the subtle and sometimes puzzling connections between Number Theory, Classical Geometry and Modern Algebra in a clear and easily understandable style. Over 160 computer generated images accessible to readers via the World Wide Web, facilitate an understanding of mathematical concepts and proofs even further. GLIMPSES also sheds light on some of the links between the first recorded intellectual attempts to solve ancient problems of Number Theory and Geometry and twentieth century mathematics. The text is divided into subtexts of four levels (indicated by the card symbols in Bridge) according to the readers aptitude. GLIMPSES will appeal to students who wish to learn modern mathematics, but have few prerequisite courses, and to high-school teachers who always had a keen interest in mathematics, but seldom the time to pursue background technicalities. Even postgraduate mathematicians will enjoy being able to browse through a number of mathematical disciplines in one sitting. Highlights of GLIMPSES include dicussions of: Rationality, Elliptic Curves and Fermat's Last Theorem, Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, Mbuis Geometry, Hyperbolic Geometry and Riemann Surfaces, Platonic Solids, Topology of Surfaces, The Four Color Theorem and The Fourth Dimension. Material from this volume can be taught the traditional way using slides, or interactively in a computer lab or teaching facility equipped with a PC or a workstation connected to an LCD-panel. Because there is a great deal of information, interactive graphics, and animations available over the Web, the author also includes recommended Web sites at the end of each section.

This book is devoted to the study of harmonic and minimal maps. It is primarily concerned with the relation between harmonicity and minimality. It develops a generalized Hodge-deRham theory, which leads naturally into the concept of harmonicity of maps.

Instead of a grammar divorced from life, Dr. Toth's text is based on artifacts from museums around the world--many of which the author has visited and translated himself: archives, monuments, and canonical inscriptions. To anchor the book in the physical world, each chapter ends with an analysis of an actual artifact. Along with the text, the author has provided a website, that contains passages, exercises, illustrations, and further examples of the language in its original contexts. This is not a book for hoary scholars, but for beginners; as all of us are beginners at some time, in one thing or another. No sophisticated knowledge of grammar is needed. The book has been in use for the last 12 years at Rutgers University. During this time, it has been refined to make it more user-friendly.
