This volume contains the proceedings of the conference on Formal and Analytic Solutions of Diff. Equations, held from June 28-July 2, 2021, and hosted by University of Alcala, Alcala de Henares, Spain. The manuscripts cover recent advances in the study of formal and analytic solutions of different kinds of equations such as ordinary differential equations, difference equations, $q$-difference equations, partial differential equations, moment differential equations, etc. Also discussed are related topics such as summability of formal solutions and the asymptotic study of their solutions. The volume is intended not only for researchers in this field of knowledge but also for students who aim to acquire new techniques and learn recent results.

The book provides the reader with an overview of the actual state of research in ordinary and partial differential equations in the complex domain. Topics include summability and asymptotic study of both ordinary and partial differential equations, and also q-difference and differential-difference equations. This book will be of interest to researchers and students who wish to expand their knowledge of these fields.With the latest results and research developments and contributions from experts in their field, Formal and Analytic Solutions of Differential Equations provides a valuable contribution to methods, techniques, different mathematical tools, and study calculations.

These proceedings provide methods, techniques, different mathematical tools and recent results in the study of formal and analytic solutions to Diff. (differential, partial differential, difference, q-difference, q-difference-differential.... ) Equations.  They consist of selected contributions from the conference "Formal and Analytic Solutions of Diff.  Equations", held at Alcalá de Henares, Spain during September 4-8, 2017. Their topics include summability and asymptotic study of both ordinary and partial differential equations. The volume is divided into four parts. The first paper is a survey of the elements of nonlinear analysis. It describes the algorithms to obtain asymptotic expansion of solutions of nonlinear algebraic, ordinary differential, partial differential equations, and of systems of such equations. Five works on formal and analytic solutions of PDEs are followed by five papers on the study of solutions of ODEs. The proceedings conclude withfive works on related topics, generalizations and applications. All contributions have been peer reviewed by anonymous referees chosen among the experts on the subject.The volume will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in theoretical and applied mathematics, physics and engineering seeking an overview of the recent trends in the theory of formal and analytic solutions of functional (differential, partial differential, difference, q-difference, q-difference-differential) equations in the complex domain.

This textbook provides a thorough introduction to the differential geometry of parametrized curves and surfaces, along with a wealth of applications to specific architectural elements. Geometric elements in architecture respond to practical, physical and aesthetic needs. Proper understanding of the mathematics underlying the geometry provides control over the construction. This book relates the classical mathematical theory of parametrized curves and surfaces to multiple applications in architecture. The presentation is mathematically complete with numerous figures and animations illustrating the theory, and special attention is given to some of the recent trends in the field. Solved exercises are provided to see the theory in practice.Intended as a textbook for lecture courses, Parametric Geometry of Curves and Surfaces is suitable for mathematically-inclined students in engineering, architecture and related fields, and can also serve as a textbook for traditional differential geometry courses to mathematics students. Researchers interested in the mathematics of architecture or computer-aided design will also value its combination of precise mathematics and architectural examples.

With a balanced combination of longer survey articles and shorter, peer-reviewed research-level presentations on the topic of differential and difference equations on the complex domain, this edited volume presents an up-to-date overview of areas such as WKB analysis, summability, resurgence, formal solutions, integrability, and several algebraic aspects of differential and difference equations.
