Algebra and Algebraic GeometryLinear Algebra in Action Second Edition

Harry Dym, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel

It is a wonderful book: very accessible and rigorous [at] the same time, containing basic and not-so-basic facts, discussing many (sometimes unexpected) applications. … Given that and the wonderful way this book was written and organized, I think it can be used by many readers: engineering students, mathematics students, research mathematicians, and researchers in any other field where linear algebra is applied. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in “working” linear algebra.

—Mihaela Poplicher, MAA Reviews

This new edition, augmented with a number of new revisions, introductory sessions, and exercises, provides a user-friendly introduction to the basic and advanced techniques of linear algebra from the point of view of a working analyst.

Readership: Graduate students interested in linear algebra or any subject that uses linear algebra.

AnalysisFundamentals of Mathematical Analysis Paul J. Sally, Jr., University of Chicago, IL

This textbook is a thorough treatment of real analysis for an upper undergraduate or beginning graduate course. Three key features distinguish the book from others of a similar nature and are important for the use of this book as a text: 1) the collection of exercises throughout, which serves as an essential component of the student’s learning; 2) a set of independent projects presented at the end of each chapter; and 3) a series of challenge problems that increase in difficulty as the chapters progress. In the Preface, the author states that “learning serious mathematics is about engag-ing with problems, from kindergarten to graduate school and beyond.” This book offers the student a fine gateway into that advanced world of mathematics that he or

she has yet to explore.

Readership: Undergraduate and graduate students interested in learning and teaching real analysis.

ApplicationsCombinatorial Game TheoryAaron N. Siegel, San Francisco, CA

Aaron Siegel has been the major contributor to Combinatorial Game Theory over the last decade or so. Now, in this authoritative work, he has made the latest results in the theory accessible, so that the subject will achieve the place in mathematics that it deserves.

—Richard Guy, University of Calgary

For those wishing to know about combinatorial games in depth this is the book to read. … Aaron Siegel is currently the strongest researcher in the field and has been involved with many of the central developments. In this book, he has brought them together. Moreover, he includes asides and details that explain how and why certain directions were taken; important insights from an expert. … [He] has kept the tone of the book light and infused it with history, anecdotes, and

important observations making it an entertaining as well as an educational read.

—Richard Nowakowski, MAA Reviews

Differential EquationsAn Introduction to Stochastic Differential EquationsLawrence C. Evans, University of California, Berkeley, CA

This book covers the most important elementary facts regarding stochastic differential equations; it also describes some of the applications to partial differential equations, optimal stopping, and options pricing. The book’s style is intuitive rather than formal, and emphasis is made on clarity. This book will be very helpful to starting graduate students and strong undergraduates as well as to others who want to gain knowledge of stochastic differential equations. I recommend this book enthusiastically.

Geometry and TopologyAxiomatic Geometry John M. Lee, University of Washington, Seattle, WA

”Jack Lee’s book will be extremely valuable for future high school math teachers. It is perfectly designed for students just learning to write proofs; complete beginners can use the appendices to get started, while more experienced students can jump right in. The axioms, definitions, and theorems are developed meticulously, and the book culminates in several chapters on hyperbolic geometry—a lot of fun, and a nice capstone to a two-quarter course on axiomatic geometry.”

—John H. Palmieri, University of Washington

Designed for advanced undergraduates who plan to teach secondary school geometry, this book tells the story of how the axiomatic method has progressed from Euclid’s time to ours, as a way of understanding what mathematics is, how we read and evaluate mathe-

matical arguments, and why mathematics has achieved the level of certainty it has.

Readership: Undergraduate students interested in geometry and secondary mathematics teaching.

Mathematics of Probability Daniel W. Stroock, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA

“This book is a very thorough advanced undergraduate/beginning graduate course on probability theory for students who have a good background in modern mathematical ideas. … [W]hat distin-guishes this book from its many competitors is the thoroughness of argument, and the tasteful choice of auxiliary topics that complement the main menu. … [A] very good book on which to base a grad-uate course or to use for self-study.”

—David Applebaum, University of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, UK

This book covers the basics of modern probability theory without using or introducing abstract measure theory.
