Paperback. Zustand: New. On August 8, 1900, at the second International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris, David Hilbert delivered his famous lecture in which he described twenty-three problems that were to play an influential role in mathematical research. A century later, on May 24, 2000, at a meeting at the College de France, the Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) announced the creation of a US$7 million prize fund for the solution of seven important classic problems which have resisted solution. The prize fund is divided equally among the seven problems. There is no time limit for their solution.The Millennium Prize Problems were selected by the founding Scientific Advisory Board of CMI--Alain Connes, Arthur Jaffe, Andrew Wiles, and Edward Witten--after consulting with other leading mathematicians. Their aim was somewhat different than that of Hilbert: not to define new challenges, but to record some of the most difficult issues with which mathematicians were struggling at the turn of the second millennium; to recognize achievement in mathematics of historical dimension; to elevate in the consciousness of the general public the fact that in mathematics, the frontier is still open and abounds in important unsolved problems; and to emphasize the importance of working towards a solution of the deepest, most difficult problems.The present volume sets forth the official description of each of the seven problems and the rules governing the prizes. It also contains an essay by Jeremy Gray on the history of prize problems in mathematics.A co-publication of the AMS and the Clay Mathematics Institute (Cambridge, MA).…

Hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 311 pages, clothbound - This overview of the photographs of Philip Trager offers readers full access to one of the twentieth century's most important photographers of architecture and dance, combining work from his previous monographs with unpublished photographs from a wide range of projects. His distinctly personal images of buildings are regarded as landmark works in architectural photography and have become standard documents for architectural and art historians, as well as architects. His expressionistic photographs of dancers in outdoor settings capture the essence of the work of many of the best contemporary choreographers and have reinvigorated the field of dance photography. Trager's existing books, are known for encapsulating the spirit of their subject matter within the first few luminous and compelling pages; they include Philip Trager: New York, The Villas of Palladio, Changing Paris, and Dancers. For this chronicle of Trager's entire career, essays by distinguished specialists preface each major theme. Includes an extensive interview with the artist, an illustrated section of selected projects and commissions, and a chronology and bibliography.…

FERMAT'S LAST THEOREM: SOLVED One of the most romantic stories in the history of mathematics. On offer is the famous May 1995 issue of Annals of Mathematics, given over entirely to Wiles' proof (with a supplementary paper by Wiles with Richard Taylor) of the famous conjecture, written by Pierre de Fermat in 1637 into the margin of his copy of the Arithmetica of Diophantus: if n>2, then an+bn=cn has no solutions in non zero integers a, b, and c. This is such an extraordinary statement because it is related to the Pythagorean theorem: a2+b2=c3, which is true of all right triangles, and which has many whole-number solutions - in fact infinitely many. Fermat tantalisingly wrote 'I have a truly marvellous demonstration of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain.' But in fact the apparatus necessarily to prove 'Fermat's Last Theorem' took more than three centuries to create, and required Wiles' brilliance and seven years of his own tireless work. As Simon Singh recounts in his classic popular book on the topic, a host of world-class mathematicians (Euler, Gauss, Galois, Kummer, Germain, Abel…) contributed partial solutions and mathematical tricks that would play a part in Wiles' masterpiece. The personal tale of Wiles' own journey to the proof is if anything more remarkable than the long history of the Theorem and those who have grappled with it. Wiles worked for many years to complete this work, first prematurely announcing his success in a lecture series in Cambridge in 1993. A mistake in this proof nearly proved fatal to the entire enterprise, but a little over a year later inspiration struck, Wiles proved the so-called 'Taniyama-Shimura Conjecture', and Fermat's Last Theorem in turn fell. This, as the great John Conway put it, was 'the proof of the century'. Singh goes further and calls it 'the world's most important proof'. Wiles list of honours is truly impressive, including prizes specifically for solving Fermat's Last Theorem, a knighthood, the Abel Prize, and the Copley Medal.…
