Algebra marked the beginning of modern mathematics, moving it beyond arithmetic, which involves calculations featuring given numbers, to problems where some quantities are unknown. Now, it stands as a pillar of mathematics, underpinning the quantitative sciences, both social and physical.This Very Short Introduction explains algebra from scratch. Over the course of ten logical chapters, Higgins offers a step by step approach for readers keen on developing their understanding of algebra. Using theory and example, he renews the reader''s aquaintance with school mathematics, before taking them progressively further and deeper into the subject.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Numbers are integral to our everyday lives and feature in everything we do. In this Very Short Introduction Peter M. Higgins, the renowned mathematics writer, unravels the world of numbers; demonstrating its richness, and providing a comprehensive view of the idea of the number. Higgins paints a picture of the number world, considering how the modern number system matured over centuries. Explaining the various number types and showing how they behave, he introduces key concepts such as integers, fractions, real numbers, and imaginary numbers. By approaching the topic in a non-technical way and emphasising the basic principles and interactions of numbers with mathematics and science, Higgins also demonstrates the practical interactions and modern applications, such as encryption of confidential data on the internet.

Techniques of Semigroup Theory

This book introduces recently developed ideas and techniques in semigroup theory to provide a handy reference guide previously unavailable in a single volume. The opening chapter provides sufficient background to enable the reader to follow any of the subsequent chapters, and would by itself be suitable for a first course in semigroup theory. The second chapter gives an account of free inverse semigroups leading to proofs of the McAlister P-theorems. Subsequent chapters have the underlying theme of diagrams and mappings, and the new material includes the theory of biordered sets of Nambooripad and Easdown, the semigroup diagrams of Remmers and Jackson with applications to the one-relator, and other word problems, a short proof of Isbell's Zigzag theorem with applications to epimorphisms and amalgams, together with combinatorial, probabalistic and graphical techniques used to prove results including Schein's Covering Theorem and Howie's Gravity Formula for finite full transformation semigroups. Nearly two hundred exercises serve the dual purpose of illustrating the richness of the subject while allowing the reader to come to grips with the material.

What can you do with your maths? You can use it to thoroughly understand all manner of things that cannot be dealt with in any other way. This book serves up a variety of problems and shows how mathematics answers them. Topics range from cracking codes to the persistence of recessive genes; from logic puzzles to classical geometry; and from planetary motion questions to predicting the market share of competing companies. And there are other problems where the mathematics itself is intrinsically surprising and interesting.

Seit Jahrhunderten sind Menschen fasziniert von Zahlen. Zahlen sind jedem vertraut und bilden ein wesentliches Fundament für unser Verständnis der Welt. Und doch ist uns das Zahlensystem nicht „einfach so“ gegeben, sondern es hat sich über Jahrtausende entwickelt. Trotz aller Fortschritte kann auch heute noch jedes Kind Fragen in Bezug auf Zahlen stellen, die niemand beantworten kann. Viele ungelöste Probleme im Zusammenhang mit Zahlen erscheinen wie skurrile Seltsamkeiten von geringem Nutzen, andere wiederum behindern den grundlegenden Fortschritt in wichtigen Forschungsbereichen der modernen Mathematik.Peter Higgins verarbeitet Jahrhunderte des Fortschritts zu einer erbaulichen Erzählung, die das Geheimnisvolle der Zahlen hervorhebt und erklärt, wie die verschiedenen Arten von Zahlen aufgetaucht sind und weshalb sie nützlich sind. Das Buch enthält viele historische Anmerkungen und interessante Beispiele, und es behandelt einfache Zahlenrätsel und Zaubertricks ebenso wie aufschlussreiche Verbindungen zu Problemen des Alltags: Wie bleiben beim Shoppen im Internet Einzelheiten zu unseren Bankdaten geheim? Wie groß sind die Chancen, beim Russisch Roulette zu gewinnen oder einen Flush im Poker zu erhalten?Higgins gelingt eine gut lesbare Mischung aus leichteren Inhalten und schwierigeren Ideen über das Unendliche und die komplexen Zahlen. Und für alle, die gerne eine vollständige Erklärung mögen, behandelt ein abschließendes Kapitel „Für Kenner und Genießer“ nochmals spezielle Aussagen und Beispiele des Buchs in der Sprache der Mathematik. Auch heute lernen wir immer noch Neues über die Zahlen, und dieses Buch lädt uns dazu ein, die Geheimnisse und die Schönheit der Zahlen neu zu entdecken, und es erinnert uns daran, dass die Erforschung der Zahlen eine sehr lange Geschichte hat und noch haben wird.

Most papers published in this volume are based on lectures presented at the Chico Conference on Semigroups held on the Chico campus of the Cal ifornia State University on April 10-12, 1986. The conference was spon sored by the California State University, Chico in cooperation with the Engineering Computer Sciences Department of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company. The program included seven 50-minute addresses and seventeen 30-minute lectures. Speakers were invited by the organizing committee consisting of S. M. Goberstein and P. M. Higgins. The purpose of the conference was to bring together some of the leading researchers in the area of semigroup theory for a discussion of major recent developments in the field. The algebraic theory of semigroups is growing so rapidly and new important results are being produced at such a rate that the need for another meeting was well justified. It was hoped that the conference would help to disseminate new results more rapidly among those working in semi groups and related areas and that the exchange of ideas would stimulate research in the subject even further. These hopes were realized beyond all expectations.
