Presents research on understanding, teaching, and learning mathematics at the post-secondary level. This book offers some preliminary results on student learning using technology when lessons are delivered via the Internet.

Based on courses given by the author at MIT and at Rome University in spring 1997, this book presents an introduction to algebraic aspects of conformal field theory. It includes material on the foundations of a rapidly growing area of algebraic conformal theory.

Presents the basics of linear algebra, with an emphasis on nonstandard and interesting proofs. This book features about 230 problems with solutions. It is suitable as a supplementary text for an undergraduate or graduate algebra course.

Suitable for both students and teachers who love mathematics and want to study its various branches beyond the limits of school curriculum. This book contains vast theoretical and problem material in main areas of what authors consider to be 'extracurricular mathematics'.

A guide to the qualitative theory of foliations. It features topics including: analysis on foliated spaces, characteristic classes of foliations and foliated manifolds. It is suitable as a supplementary text for a topics course at the advanced graduate level.

Presents the translation from the Japanese textbook for the grade 10 course, 'Basic Mathematics'. This book covers algebra (including quadratic functions, equations, and inequalities), trigonometric functions, and plane coordinate geometry.

Suitable for undergraduates studying real analysis, this book presents the theory behind calculus directly from the basic concepts of real numbers, limits, and open and closed sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$. It gives the three characterizations of continuity: via epsilon-delta, sequences, and open sets.

Presents an introduction to functional analysis and the initial fundamentals of $C^*$- and von Neumann algebra theory in a form suitable for both intermediate graduate courses and self-study. The authors provide an account of the introductory portions of this important and technically difficult subject.

Presents modern algebra. This book includes such topics as affine and projective spaces, tensor algebra, Galois theory, Lie groups, and associative algebras and their representations. It is suitable for independent study for advanced undergraduates and graduate students.

Probability theory has become a convenient language and a useful tool in many areas of modern analysis. This book intends to explore part of this connection concerning the relations between Brownian motion on a manifold and analytical aspects of differential geometry. It begins with a review of stochastic differential equations on Euclidean space.

Mirror symmetry began when theoretical physicists made some astonishing predictions about rational curves on quintic hypersurfaces in four-dimensional projective space. This book presents a comprehensive monograph on mirror symmetry, covering the original observations by the physicists.

Offers a perspective on how 4-manifold theory was studied before the discovery of modern-day Seiberg-Witten theory. This book predates Donaldson's applications of the subject to 4-manifold topology, where the central concern was the geometry of the moduli space.

In May 1974, the American Mathematical Society sponsored a special symposium on the mathematical consequences of the Hilbert problems, held at Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, Illinois. This title contains the proceedings of that symposium and includes papers corresponding to the invited addresses with one exception.

Produced under the auspices of the International Mathematical Union (IMU), this volume was born as part of the activities observing the World Mathematical Year 2000. It consists of 30 articles that also offer reflections about the amazing mathematical progress we have witnessed in this century.
