    Content: "Flavors of Geometry is a volume of lectures on four geometrically influenced fields of mathematics that have experienced great development in recent years." "Growing out of a series of introductory lectures given at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in January 1995 and January 1996, the book presents chapters on hyperbolic geometry, dynamics in several complex variables, convex geometry, and volume estimation, by masters in their respective fields. Each lecture begins with a discussion of elementary concepts, examines the highlights of the field, and concludes with a look at more advanced material. The style and presentation of the chapters are clear and accessible, and most of the lectures are richly illustrated. Bibliographies and indexes are included to encourage further reading on the topics discussed." "These lectures are an excellent starting place for graduate students and will also interest researchers wanting a "flavor" of new developments in geometry."--BOOK JACKET.

    Content: Das zweite und dritte Jahrhundert vor Christus brachten in der antiken Welt der Griechen eine explosionsartige Entwicklung der Naturwissenschaften und Technologien hervor. Die griechische Kultur hatte ihren Höhepunkt in der Kunst, Literatur und der Philosophie bereits überschritten, als im Zeitalter des Archimedes und Euclids die Naturwissenschaft im heutigen Sinne entstand und einen technologischen Aufschwung ermöglichte, der erst im 18. Jahrhundert seinesgleichen fand. Diese wissenschaftliche Revolution wurde von weitreichenden Veränderungen auf vielen anderen Gebieten wie der Kunst und Medizin begleite und bewirkte gleichzeitig eine Bewusstseinsänderung. Was waren die Meilensteine diese kometenhaften Aufschwungs der Naturwissenschaft vor 2300 Jahren? Warum sind sie heute sogar unter Naturwissenschaftlern, Altophilologen und Historikern so wenig bekannt? Wie ist ihr Verhältnis zu den Naturwissenschaften wie wir sie heute von der Schule kennen? Dies sind einige der Fragen, die dieses Buch aufgreift, in der Überzeugung, dass diese auch heute noch relevant sind. TOC: Introduction.- 1. The Birth of Science.- 2. Hellenistic Mathematics.- 3.

    Content: This book develops some of the extraordinary richness, beauty, and power of geometry in two and three dimensions, and the strong connection of geometry with topology. Hyperbolic geometry is the star. A strong effort has been made to convey not just denatured formal reasoning (definitions, theorems, and proofs), but a living feeling for the subject. There are many figures, examples, and exercises of varying difficulty. This book was the origin of a grand scheme developed by Thurston that is now coming to fruition. In the 1920s and 1930s the mathematics of two-dimensional spaces was formalized. It was Thurston's goal to do the same for three-dimensional spaces. To do this, he had to establish the strong connection of geometry to topology--the study of qualitative questions about geometrical structures. The author created a new set of concepts, and the expression "Thurston-type geometry" has become a commonplace.Three-Dimensional Geometry and Topology had its origins in the form of notes for a graduate course the author taught at Princeton University between 1978 and 1980. Thurston shared his notes, duplicating and sending them to whoever requested them. Eventually, the mailing list grew to more than one thousand names. The book is the culmination of two decades of research and has become the most important and influential text in the field. Its content also provided the methods needed to solve one of mathematics' oldest unsolved problems--the Poincaré Conjecture. In 2005 Thurston won the first AMS Book Prize, for Three-dimensional Geometry and Topology. The prize recognizes an outstanding research book that makes a seminal contribution to the research literature. Thurston received the Fields Medal, the mathematical equivalent of the Nobel Prize, in 1982 for the depth and originality of his contributions to mathematics. In 1979 he was awarded the Alan T.Waterman Award, which recognizes an outstanding young researcher
