    An introduction to semi-Riemannian geometry as a foundation for general relativitySemi-Riemannian Geometry: The Mathematical Language of General Relativity is an accessible exposition of the mathematics underlying general relativity. The book begins with background on linear and multilinear algebra, general topology, and real analysis. This is followed by material on the classical theory of curves and surfaces, expanded to include both the Lorentz and Euclidean signatures. The remainder of the book is devoted to a discussion of smooth manifolds, smooth manifolds with boundary, smooth manifolds with a connection, semi-Riemannian manifolds, and differential operators, culminating in applications to Maxwell's equations and the Einstein tensor. Many worked examples and detailed diagrams are provided to aid understanding. This book will appeal especially to physics students wishing to learn more differential geometry than is usually provided in texts on general relativity.

    With a focus on one central theme (the Impossibility Theorem) throughout, this highly accessible introduction to Galois theory presents a classical treatment of the topic and poses questions related to the solvability of polynomial equations by radicals. Modern points of view are also discussed in contrast to the historical development and context.

    An introduction to classical biostatistical methods in epidemiology, this text provides an introduction to a range of methods used to analyze epidemiologic data, with a focus on nonregression techniques. It also includes a discussion of measurement issues in epidemiology, especially confounding, with an overview of logistic and Cox regression.
