I. M. Yaglom has written a very accessible history of 19th century mathematics, with emphasis on interesting biographies of the leading protagonists and on the subjects most closely related to the work of Klein and Lie, whose own work is not discussed in detail until late in the book. Starting with Galois and his contribution to the evolving subject of group theory Yaglom gives...(展开全部)

本书为西方史学家名著，自1913年初版以来，一再重版。作者古奇是英国第一流史学家。他博览群书，对十九世纪时的西方史学家作品很熟悉，对他们所写的人物(如拿破仑)或古代史(如希腊罗马的历史)都了如指掌，所以他对当时的史学家及其作品都有独到的评论。这部书也可以说是一部史学书评。

John Theodore Merz (1840-1922) was an industrial chemist and philosopher who came to Britain from his native Germany in 1867. His life-long work was dominated by the desire to contribute towards the unification of knowledge. Uniting the two cultures of science and the arts, Merz's "History of European Thought in the Nineteenth Century" is an extended survey of the development o...(展开全部)

A comprehensive and modern account of the structure and classification of Lie groups and finite-dimensional Lie algebras, by internationally known specialists in the field. This Encyclopaedia volume will be immensely useful to graduate students in differential geometry, algebra and theoretical physics.

A co-publication of the AMS and the London Mathematical Society Lie groups and algebraic groups are important in many major areas of mathematics and mathematical physics. We find them in diverse roles, notably as groups of automorphisms of geometric structures, as symmetries of differential systems, or as basic tools in the theory of automorphic forms. The author looks at their...(展开全部)

Provincializing the history of the Ottoman Empire, this book provides a critical approach to the projects of 'modernity' that took place in the Eastern Mediterranean over the past two centuries. Leaving their mark on this period are; the turmoil of insurgency in Greece and Egypt, a growing intervention of European Powers in Eastern Mediterranean politics, and the unfolding of l...(展开全部)
