The Pulps: Fifty Years of American Pop Culture

Goodstone, Tony

Leopold Kronecker (1823-1891) made contributions to several branches of mathematics. He is known for his statement 'Die ganzen Zahlen hat der liebe Gott gemacht, alles andere ist Menschenwerk' ('Integers were made by God, everything else is the work of man'), which expresses his profound belief in the arithmetization of mathematics. His most important works are in the areas of elliptic functions, ideal theory, and the arithmetic of quadratic forms. He produced careful expositions of results in number theory from his own work and earlier work of others. This five-volume German-language set contains his collected works.

Mathematics

From the Preface: "This textbook has evolved from a set of lecture notes ... In both the course and the book, I have in mind first- or second-year graduate students in Mathematics and related fields such as Physics ... It is necessary for the reader to have a foundation in advanced calculus which includes familiarity with: least upper bound (LUB) and greatest lower bound (GLB), the concept of function, $\epsilon$'s and their companion $\delta$'s, and basic properties of sequences of real and complex numbers (convergence, Cauchy's criterion, the Weierstrass-Bolzano theorem). It is not presupposed that the reader is acquainted with vector spaces ... , matrices ... , or determinants ... There are over four hundred exercises, most of them easy ... It is my hope that this book, aside from being an exposition of certain basic material on Hilbert space, may also serve as an introduction to other areas of functional analysis."

Introduction to Hilbert Space

Berberian, Sterling K.

This remarkable book has endured as a true masterpiece of mathematical exposition. There are few mathematics books that are still so widely read and continue to have so much to offer--after more than half a century! The book is overflowing with mathematical ideas, which are always explained clearly and elegantly, and above all, with penetrating insight. It is a joy to read, both for beginners and experienced mathematicians.

Now, many of them, and dozens more of her stellar images - from every corner the state - are now available in Texas, a limited edition, highest-quality, 256-page, hardcover coffee-table book, with a foreword by Librarian of Congress James Billington. This new book also includes expansive introductory text written by renowned Texas historian and raconteur Lonn Taylor of Fort Davis, host of The Rambling Boy: Stories About Texas weekly radio series. As Taylor's introduction notes, "it is almost impossible to generalize about Texas. The red clay and Piney Woods of East Texas might well be in Alabama; the high desert of the Big Bend is indistinguishable from Chihuahua. The Spanish moss and oak trees of the Coastal Bend, to which my grandmother Taylor's family immigrated in the 1820s, could be in the Mississippi Delta they left behind. My cousins there have little in common with the Spanish-speaking vaqueros of the Brush Country farther south, or with the hardscrabble German farmers of the Hill Country, or the drought-ridden ranchers of West Texas, who included my mother's people. Geographers distinguish eighteen physical regions of Texas." Carol M. Highsmith's historic visual documentation of Texas presents emphatically memorable images of these distinctive regions, as well as many other aspects of the dynamic, multicultural state. Her images in this important new keepsake volume represent the very best images from her extraordinary exploration of Texas for the Library of Congress, the first of its kind since Dorothea Lange and other documentary photographers took to the dusty roads of America during the Great Depression more than 75 years ago. Dallas "philanthropreneur" Lyda Hill, who designated this spectacular new book, Texas, as "a masterpiece and a treasure", underwrote Highsmith's explorations of colossal Texas.
