Augustin-Louis Cauchy
Author: Bruno BelhostePublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461229960
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
A great difficulty facing a biographer of Cauchy is that of delineating the curious interplay between the man, his times, and his scientific endeavors. Professor Belhoste has succeeded admirably in meeting this challenge and has thus written a vivid biography that is both readable and informative. His subject stands out as one of the most brilliant, versatile, and prolific fig ures in the annals of science. Nearly two hundred years have now passed since the young Cauchy set about his task of clarifying mathematics, extending it, applying it wherever possible, and placing it on a firm theoretical footing. Through Belhoste's work we are afforded a detailed, rather personalized picture of how a first rate mathematician worked at his discipline - his strivings, his inspirations, his triumphs, his failures, and above all, his conflicts and his errors.
George Gabriel Stokes

Book Description
George Gabriel Stokes was one of the most important mathematical physicists of the 19th century. During his lifetime he made a wide range of contributions, notably in continuum mechanics, optics and mathematical analysis. His name is known to generations of scientists and engineers through the various physical laws and mathematical formulae named after him, such as the Navier-Stokes equations in fluid dynamics. Born in Ireland into a family of academics, clergymen and physicians, he became the longest serving Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge. Impressive as his own scientific achievements were, he made an equally important contribution as a sounding board for his contemporaries, providing good judgement and mathematical rigour in his wide correspondence and during his 31 years as Secretary of the Royal Society where he played a major role in the direction of British science. Outside his own area he was a distinguished public servant and MP for Cambridge University. He was keenly interested in the relation between science and religion and wrote at length on their interaction. Stokes was a remarkable scientist who lived in an equally remarkable age of discovery and innovation. This edited collection of essays brings together experts in mathematics, physics and the history of science to cover the many facets of Stokes's life in a scholarly but accessible way to mark the bicentenary of his birth.

Introduction to Harmonic Analysis
Author: Ricardo A. SáenzPublisher: American Mathematical Society
ISBN: 147047199X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
This book gives a self-contained introduction to the modern ideas and problems of harmonic analysis. Intended for third- and fourth-year undergraduates, the book only requires basic knowledge of real analysis, and covers necessary background in measure theory, Lebesgue integration and approximation theorems. The book motivates the study of harmonic functions by describing the Dirichlet problem, and discussing examples such as solutions to the heat equation in equilibrium, the real and imaginary parts of holomorphic functions, and the minimizing functions of energy. It then leads students through an in-depth study of the boundary behavior of harmonic functions and finishes by developing the theory of harmonic functions defined on fractals domains. The book is designed as a textbook for an introductory course on classical harmonic analysis, or for a course on analysis on fractals. Each chapter contains exercises, and bibliographic and historical notes. The book can also be used as a supplemental text or for self-study.
