Graduate Texts in Mathematics: Algebraic Geometry: A First Course (Hardback)
“These books are intended to introduce students to algebraic geometry; to give them a sense of the basic objects considered, the questions asked about them, and the sort of answers one can expect to obtain. It thus emphasizes the classical roots of the subject.” — From the back cover
A Course in Convexity (Graduate Studies in Mathematics, Volume 54, Hardcover)
“As a whole, [this book] is designed for graduate students interested in mathematical methods, computer science, electrical engineering, and operations research.”— from the back cover
Graduate Texts in Mathematics: Introduction to Topological Manifolds (Softcover)
“This book is an introduction to manifolds at the beginning graduate level. It contains the essential topological ideas that are needed for the further study of manifolds, particularly in the context of differential geometry, algebraic topology, and related fields. Its guiding philosophy is to develop these ideas rigorously but economically with minimal prerequisites and plenty of geometric intuition.” — From the back cover
Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics: Numbers and Geometry (Hardback)
“Numbers and Geometry is a beautiful and relatively elementary account of a part of mathematics where three main fields—algebra, analysis, and geometry—meet. The aim of this book is to give a broad view of these subjects at the level of calculus, without being a calculus (or a pre-calculus) book.” — From the back cover
Graduate Texts in Mathematics: Riemannian Manifolds: An Introduction to Curvature (Softcover)
“This book is designed for a one-quarter or one-semester graduate course on Riemannian geometry. It focuses on developing an intimate acquaintance with the geometric meaning of curvature and thereby introduces and demonstrates all the main technical tools needed for a more advanced study of Riemannian manifolds.” — From the back cover
