The Mathematical MechanicUsing Physical Reasoning to Solve ProblemsMark Levi“This book is a fresh, insightful, and highly original presentation of mathematical physics that will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers. I have not seen anything like it before. It is a book that a physicist or engineer would be proud to have written, and the fact that it has been written by a mathematician only adds to the book’s authority. A definite winner.”—Paul J. Nahin, author of Digital Dice

The Gross-Zagier Formula on Shimura CurvesXinyi Yuan, Shou-wu Zhang & Wei ZhangThis comprehensive account of the Gross-Zagier formula on Shimura curves over totally real fields relates the heights of Heegner points on abelian varieties to the derivatives of L-series. The formula will have new applications for the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and Diophantine equations.
