Handbook of Geometric Analysis, No. 3 (volume 14 of the Advanced Lectures in Mathematics series)
Geometric Analysis combines differential equations and differential geometry. An important aspect is to solve geometric problems by studying differential equations. Besides some known linear differential operators such as the Laplace operator, many differential equations arising from differential geometry are nonlinear. A particularly important example is the Monge-Ampère equation. Applications to geometric problems have also motivated new methods and techniques in differential equations.
Periscope-review: World News: Учеб.пособие по англ.яз. № 8
The manual consists of newspaper and magazine publications and information from main world media agencies as well such as BBC, CNN, CBC, Reuters etc. reporting about the most important and interesting events on the planet.
The book tackles some weighty issues, which certainly isn't unusual for a theoretical physics book, but one of the key features of this book is that the authors never lose sight of how important it is to confirm theory with experiment. Nor do they forget that the average reader doesn't care about esoteric concepts - they want to know why the theories are important in their lives. In other words, this book is best suited for the artful reader, who likes beautiful language more than mathematics, but is willing to tolerate some equations and be unintimidated by them.
