The Riemann zeta function is one of the most studied objects in mathematics, and is of fundamental importance. In this book, based on his own research, Professor Motohashi shows that the function is closely bound with automorphic forms and that many results from there can be woven with techniques and ideas from analytic number theory to yield new insights into, and views of, th...(展开全部)

Superb study of one of the most influential classics in mathematics examines the landmark 1859 publication entitled "On the Number of Primes Less Than a Given Magnitude," and traces developments in theory inspired by it. Topics include Riemann's main formula, the prime number theorem, the Riemann-Siegel formula, large-scale computations, Fourier analysis, and other related topi...(展开全部)

Architecture needs mechanisms that allow it to become connected to culture. It achieves this by continually capturing the forces that shape society as material to work with. Architecture's materiality is therefore a composite one, made up of visible forces (structural, functional, physical) as well as invisible forces (cultural, political, temporal). Architecture progresses thr...(展开全部)

阿尔弗雷德•诺思•怀特海（Alfred North Whitehead），英国著名的数学家、哲学家和教育理论家，他是20世纪庞大的形而上学体系——“过程哲学”的创始人，同时也是学界公认的20世纪伟大的哲学家之一，他在宇宙论、认识论、宗教学说三个方面超越了前人。他的《过程与实在》一书，堪与康德的《纯粹理性批判》媲美。21世纪，怀特海的过程哲学影响遍及全球：他的万物皆有物质极和精神极的理论成为现代生态学的哲理基础；物理学中的量子论印证了他的学说。 周邦宪，翻译家。1996年开始致力于翻译、介绍怀特海的过程哲学。先后译有怀特海的《观念的冒险》《过程与实在》《宗教的形成》《符号的意义及效果》，美国过程哲学家罗伯特•梅斯勒的《过程—关系哲学：浅释怀特海》，美国建设性后现代哲学家大卫•雷•格里芬的《解开世界之死结》《复魅何须超自然主义》《怀特海的另类后现代哲学》...(展开全部)

Friedman argued that the best way to make sense of saving and spending was not, as Keynes had done, to resort to loose psychological theorizing, but rather to think of individuals as making rational plans about how to spend their wealth over their lifetimes. This wasn't necessarily an anti-Keynesian idea--in fact, the great Keynesian economist Franco Modi-gliani simultaneously ...(展开全部)

Winner of the 8th Annual AIA International Architecture Book Award for CriticismCan architecture help us find our place and way in today's complex world? Can it return individuals to a whole, to a world, to a community? Developing Giedion' s claim that contemporary architecture's main task is to interpret a way of life valid for our time, philosopher Karsten Harries answers tha...(展开全部)
