  • Elements of Mathematics
    John Stillwell
    An exciting look at the world of elementary mathematicsElements of Mathematics takes readers on a fascinating tour that begins in elementary mathematics-but, as John Stillwell shows, this subject is not as elementary or straightforward as one might think. Not all topics that are part of today’s elementary mathematics were always considered as such, and great mathematical advanc...

  • Numbers and Geometry
    John Stillwell
    A beautiful and relatively elementary account of a part of mathematics where three main fields - algebra, analysis and geometry - meet. The book provides a broad view of these subjects at the level of calculus, without being a calculus book. Its roots are in arithmetic and geometry, the two opposite poles of mathematics, and the source of historic con...

  • Plane Algebraic Curves
    Egbert Brieskorn / Horst Knörrer / John Stillwell
    In a detailed and comprehensive introduction to the theory of plane algebraic curves, the authors examine this classical area of mathematics that both figured prominently in ancient Greek studies and remains a source of inspiration and a topic of research to this day. Arising from notes for a course given at the University of Bonn in Germany, 'Plane Algebraic Curves' reflects t...

  • Papers on Group Theory and Topology
    Max Dehn / John Stillwell
    The work of Max Dehn (1878-1952) has been quietly influential in mathematics since the beginning of the 20th century. In 1900 he became the first to solve one of the famous Hilbert problems (the third, on the decomposition of polyhedra), in 1907 he collaborated with Heegaard to produce the first survey of topology, and in 1910 he began publishing his ...

  • Classical Topology and Combinatorial Group Theory
    John Stillwell
    In recent years, many students have been introduced to topology in high school mathematics. Having met the Mobius band, the seven bridges of Konigsberg, Euler’s polyhedron formula, and knots, the student is led to expect that these picturesque ideas will come to full flower in university topology courses. What a disappointment 'undergraduate topology'...

  • Elements of Number Theory
    John Stillwell
    Solutions of equations in integers is the central problem of number theory and is the focus of this book. The amount of material is suitable for a one-semester course. The author has tried to avoid the ad hoc proofs in favor of unifying ideas that work in many situations. There are exercises at the end of almost every section, so that each new idea or...

  • Elements of Algebra
    John Stillwell
    Algebra is abstract mathematics - let us make no bones about it - yet it is also applied mathematics in its best and purest form. It is not abstraction for its own sake, but abstraction for the sake of efficiency, power and insight. Algebra emerged from the struggle to solve concrete, physical problems in geometry, and succeeded after 2000 years of fa...

  • Geometry of Surfaces
    John Stillwell
    The geometry of surfaces is an ideal starting point for learning geometry, for, among other reasons, the theory of surfaces of constant curvature has maximal connectivity with the rest of mathematics. This text provides the student with the knowledge of a geometry of greater scope than the classical geometry taught today, which is no longer an adequat...
