Groups Acting on Hyperbolic Space: Harmonic Analysis and Number TheoryGroups Acting on Hyperbolic Space: Harmonic Analysis and Number Theory

This book deals with a broad range of topics from the theory of automorphic functions on three-dimensional hyperbolic space and its arithmetic group theoretic and geometric ramifications. Starting off with several models of hyperbolic space and its group of motions the authors discuss the spectral theory of the Laplacian and Selberg's theory for cofinite groups. This culminates in explicit versions of the Selberg trace formula and the Selberg zeta-function.

The Brain: A Beginner's GuideThe Brain: A Beginner's Guide

It has been remarked that if the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't. From a brief history of neuroscience to the most up-to-date research on the brain processes behind a wide array of human activity, this accessible guide assumes no previous scientific knowledge, and offers a tantalizing glimpse into the functioning of man's most complex organ.
