Book excerpt: This little book is conceived as a service to mathematicians attending the 1998 International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin. It presents a comprehensive, condensed overview of mathematical activity in Berlin, from Leibniz almost to the present day (without, however, including biographies of living mathematicians). Since many towering figures in mathematical history worked in Berlin, most of the chapters of this book are concise biographies. These are held together by a few survey articles presenting the overall development of entire periods of scientific life at Berlin. Overlaps between various chapters and differences in style between the chap ters were inevitable, but sometimes this provided opportunities to show different aspects of a single historical event - for instance, the Kronecker-Weierstrass con troversy. The book aims at readability rather than scholarly completeness. There are no footnotes, only references to the individual bibliographies of each chapter. Still, we do hope that the texts brought together here, and written by the various authors for this volume, constitute a solid introduction to the history of Berlin mathematics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematics: intellectual endeavor, production factor, key technology, key to key technologies? Mathematics is all of these; the last three of its facets are not well known, though. They have been the focus of the research and development in the Berlin-based DFG Research Center MATHEON in the last twelve years. Through these activities, MATHEON has become an international trademark. Its mission and its strategies for carrying out creative, application-driven research in mathematics and cooperating in the solution of complex problems in key technologies are by now a role model for the development of many other centers. Modern key technologies have become highly sophisticated, integrating aspects of engineering, computer, business and other sciences. At the same time, the innovation cycles get shorter and shorter. These simultaneous challenges can be mastered only by qualitatively and quantitatively rigorous methods. And that is where mathematics is indispensable. Flexible mathematical models, as well as fast and accurate methods for numerical simulation and optimization, open new possibilities to handle the indicated complexities, to react quickly, and to explore new options. Researchers in mathematical fields such as optimization, discrete mathematics, numerical analysis, scientific computing, applied analysis and stochastic analysis have to work hand in hand with scientists and engineers to fully exploit this potential and to strengthen the transversal role of mathematics in solving the challenging problems in key technologies. This book presents in seven chapters the research highlights of the research work carried out in the MATHEON application areas: Life Sciences, Networks, Production, Electronic and Photonic Devices, Finance, Visualization, and Education. The chapters summarize many of the contributions, put them in the context of current mathematical research activities, and outline their impact in various key technologies. To make some of the results more easily accessible to the general public, a large number of ``showcases'' are presented that illustrate a few success stories.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide the mathematical foundations of numerical methods, to analyze their basic theoretical properties and to demonstrate their performances on examples and counterexamples. Within any specific class of problems, the most appropriate scientific computing algorithms are reviewed, their theoretical analyses are carried out and the expected results are verified using the MATLAB software environment. Each chapter contains examples, exercises and applications of the theory discussed to the solution of real-life problems. While addressed to senior undergraduates and graduates in engineering, mathematics, physics and computer sciences, this text is also valuable for researchers and users of scientific computing in a large variety of professional fields.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of fast computers and the search for efficient algorithms revolutionized combinatorics and brought about the field of discrete mathematics. This book is an introduction to the main ideas and results of discrete mathematics, and with its emphasis on algorithms it should be interesting to mathematicians and computer scientists alike. The book is organized into three parts: enumeration, graphs and algorithms, and algebraic systems. There are 600 exercises with hints and solutions to about half of them. The only prerequisites for understanding everything in the book are linear algebra and calculus at the undergraduate level. Praise for the German edition… This book is a well-written introduction to discrete mathematics and is highly recommended to every student of mathematics and computer science as well as to teachers of these topics. —Konrad Engel for MathSciNet Martin Aigner is a professor of mathematics at the Free University of Berlin. He received his PhD at the University of Vienna and has held a number of positions in the USA and Germany before moving to Berlin. He is the author of several books on discrete mathematics, graph theory, and the theory of search. The Monthly article Turan's graph theorem earned him a 1995 Lester R. Ford Prize of the MAA for expository writing, and his book Proofs from the BOOK with Günter M. Ziegler has been an international success with translations into 12 languages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book summarizes the state-of-the-art of research on control of self-organizing nonlinear systems with contributions from leading international experts in the field. The first focus concerns recent methodological developments including control of networks and of noisy and time-delayed systems. As a second focus, the book features emerging concepts of application including control of quantum systems, soft condensed matter, and biological systems. Special topics reflecting the active research in the field are the analysis and control of chimera states in classical networks and in quantum systems, the mathematical treatment of multiscale systems, the control of colloidal and quantum transport, the control of epidemics and of neural network dynamics.
