The Theory of holomorphic functions of several complex variables is undergoing rapid developments. An important aspect of this developmnet is the study of zero sets of functions which are of great importance in algebraic and differential geometry and related areas. This is the first book to be published in which zero sets of holomorphic functions of several complex variables are studied from a geometric point of view.
The object of this book is to introduce the reader to some of the most important techniques of modern global geometry. In writing it we had in mind the beginning graduate student willing to specialize in this very challenging field of mathematics. The necessary prerequisite is a good knowledge of the calculus with several variables, linear algebra and some elementary point-set topology.
Lessons from Good Language Learners (Cambridge Language Teaching Library)
Although many teachers and texts give a strong nod in the direction of learner-centered learning, changing the paradigm and providing the neces sary knowledge and skills for teachers has proven to be quite daunting. Perhaps the task is larger and more complex than many of us realized 30 years ago This volume attempts to take Rubin’s initiative further by investigating a wide range of variables, any one of which has the potential to affect how students learn, and which, in combination, present an extremely complex picture.
Factor fearlessly, conquer the quadratic formula, and solve linear equations There's no doubt that algebra can be easy to some while extremely challenging to others. If you're vexed by variables, Algebra I For Dummies, 2nd Edition provides the plain-English, easy-to-follow guidance you need to get the right solution every time!
