Abstract

An accessible, streamlined, and user-friendly approach to calculusCalculus is a beautiful subject that most of us learn from professors, textbooks, or supplementary texts. Each of these resources has strengths but also weaknesses. In Calculus Simplified, Oscar Fernandez combines the strengths and omits the weaknesses, resulting in a "Goldilocks approach" to learning calculus: just the right level of detail, the right depth of insights, and the flexibility to customize your calculus adventure.Fernandez begins by offering an intuitive introduction to the three key ideas in calculus-limits, derivatives, and integrals. The mathematical details of each of these pillars of calculus are then covered in subsequent chapters, which are organized into mini-lessons on topics found in a college-level calculus course. Each mini-lesson focuses first on developing the intuition behind calculus and then on conceptual and computational mastery. Nearly 200 solved examples and more than 300 exercises allow for ample opportunities to practice calculus. And additional resources-including video tutorials and interactive graphs-are available on the book's website.Calculus Simplified also gives you the option of personalizing your calculus journey. For example, you can learn all of calculus with zero knowledge of exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions-these are discussed at the end of each mini-lesson. You can also opt for a more in-depth understanding of topics-chapter appendices provide additional insights and detail. Finally, an additional appendix explores more in-depth real-world applications of calculus.Learning calculus should be an exciting voyage, not a daunting task. Calculus Simplified gives you the freedom to choose your calculus experience, and the right support to help you conquer the subject with confidence.· An accessible, intuitive introduction to first-semester calculus· Nearly 200 solved problems and more than 300 exercises (all with answers)· No prior knowledge of exponential, logarithmic, or trigonometric functions required· Additional online resources-video tutorials and supplementary exercises-provided

Abstract

The role of entanglement is to substantially enhance the speed of computations by a process that classical computers could not achieve. Indeed, entanglement is something mysterious from quantum mechanics that has no equivalent in classical mechanics. An enormous quantity of work has been carried in the past decades to answer some natural questions about entanglement. How to know if a state is entangled or not (Separability problem)? If a state is entangled, how much is it, and how far from a separable state is it (Entanglement measure)? Can an entangled state perform the same tasks as another entangled state (Entanglement classification)? These questions are increasingly mastered over time and are the keystone of progress in quantum computation, in conjunction with technical progress. Entanglement classification fails to be finite when we consider something greater than a 4-qubit system. This issue has been analysed and solved by Masoud Gharahi, Stefano Mancini and Giorgio Ottaviani in their paper with help of algebraic geometry. The purpose of this thesis is to make a detailed overview of the notions this article needs to be understood.

Abstract

Measured geodesic laminations are a natural generalization of simple closed curves in surfaces, and they play a decisive role in various developments in two-and three-dimensional topology, geometry, and dynamical systems. This book presents a self-contained and comprehensive treatment of the rich combinatorial structure of the space of measured geodesic laminations in a fixed surface. Families of measured geodesic laminations are described by specifying a train track in the surface, and the space of measured geodesic laminations is analyzed by studying properties of train tracks in the surface. The material is developed from first principles, the techniques employed are essentially combinatorial, and only a minimal background is required on the part of the reader. Specifically, familiarity with elementary differential topology and hyperbolic geometry is assumed. The first chapter treats the basic theory of train tracks as discovered by W. P. Thurston, including recurrence, transverse recurrence, and the explicit construction of a measured geodesic lamination from a measured train track. The subsequent chapters develop certain material from R. C. Penner's thesis, including a natural equivalence relation on measured train tracks and standard models for the equivalence classes (which are used to analyze the topology and geometry of the space of measured geodesic laminations), a duality between transverse and tangential structures on a train track, and the explicit computation of the action of the mapping class group on the space of measured geodesic laminations in the surface.

Abstract

The aim of this book is to study harmonic maps, minimal and parallel mean curvature immersions in the presence of symmetry. In several instances, the latter permits reduction of the original elliptic variational problem to the qualitative study of certain ordinary differential equations: the authors' primary objective is to provide representative examples to illustrate these reduction methods and their associated analysis with geometric and topological applications. The material covered by the book displays a solid interplay involving geometry, analysis and topology: in particular, it includes a basic presentation of 1-cohomogeneous equivariant differential geometry and of the theory of harmonic maps between spheres.
