Die ideale Vorbereitung für die Mathematikvorlesungen im Grundstudium. Dieser Brückenkurs hilft den Studierenden, vor oder zu Beginn des Studiums die unentbehrlichen mathematischen Grundkenntnisse aufzufrischen oder nachzulernen. Die einzelnen Abschnitte sind nicht aufeinander aufgebaut, sodass sich der Studierende auf die Gebiete konzentrieren kann, in denen er Schwierigkeiten oder Lücken hat. Am Ende eines jeden Kapitels befinden sich Aufgaben, deren Lösungen sich, zur Kontrolle, im Anhang befinden. Das Buch richtet sich an alle Studierenden, die in ihrem Studium mit Mathematik zu tun haben.

Dieses Werk gibt eine überwiegend elementare Einführung in philosophische Probleme und Hintergründe des mathematischen Denkens und Sprechens, Lehrens und Lernens. Sie wendet sich an Lehrende und Studierende der Mathematik und der Philosophie. Ausgangspunkt und immer wieder Bezugspunkt sind die reellen Zahlen. In pointierter Weise werden mathematische und philosophische Probleme und Fragen vermerkt, die sich auf dem Weg zu ihnen stellen. Ein umfangreicher Abriss von Auffassungen aus der Geschichte der Mathematik und der Philosophie bis hin zu aktuellen Strömungen bildet den Hintergrund für ihre eingehende Diskussion. Kapitel über Mengenlehre, Logik und Axiomatik, über ungelöste und unlösbare Probleme und fundamentale Ergebnisse schließen den Text ab.

Homology theory is a powerful algebraic tool that is at the centre of current research in topology and its applications. This accessible textbook will appeal to mathematics students interested in the application of algebra to geometrical problems, specifically the study of surfaces (sphere, torus, Mobius band, Klein bottle). In this introduction to simplicial homology - the most easily digested version of homology theory - the author studies interesting geometrical problems, such as the structure of two-dimensional surfaces and the embedding of graphs in surfaces, using the minimum of algebraic machinery and including a version of Lefschetz duality. Assuming very little mathematical knowledge, the book provides a complete account of the algebra needed (abelian groups and presentations), and the development of the material is always carefully explained with proofs given in full detail. Numerous examples and exercises are also included, making this an ideal text for undergraduate courses or for self-study.

This informal introduction provides a fresh perspective on isomorphism theory, which is the branch of ergodic theory that explores the conditions under which two measure preserving systems are essentially equivalent. It contains a primer in basic measure theory, proofs of fundamental ergodic theorems, and material on entropy, martingales, Bernoulli processes, and various varieties of mixing. Original proofs of classic theorems - including the Shannon-McMillan-Breiman theorem, the Krieger finite generator theorem, and the Ornstein isomorphism theorem - are presented by degrees, together with helpful hints that encourage the reader to develop the proofs on their own. Hundreds of exercises and open problems are also included, making this an ideal text for graduate courses. Professionals needing a quick review, or seeking a different perspective on the subject, will also value this book.

This new edition of Introduction to Lattices and Order presents a radical reorganization and updating, though its primary aim is unchanged. The explosive development of theoretical computer science in recent years has, in particular, influenced the book's evolution: a fresh treatment of fixpoints testifies to this and Galois connections now feature prominently. An early presentation of concept analysis gives both a concrete foundation for the subsequent theory of complete lattices and a glimpse of a methodology for data analysis that is of commercial value in social science. Classroom experience has led to numerous pedagogical improvements and many new exercises have been added. As before, exposure to elementary abstract algebra and the notation of set theory are the only prerequisites, making the book suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students. It will also be a valuable resource for anyone who meets ordered structures.
