This book presents to the reader a modern axiomatic construction of three-dimensional Euclidean geometry in a rigorous and accessible form. It is helpful for high school teachers who are interested in the modernization of the teaching of geometry.
This book proposes a new approach which is designed to serve as an introductory course in differential geometry for advanced undergraduate students. It is based on lectures given by the author at several universities, and discusses calculus, topology, and linear algebra.
The present work grew out of a study of the Maslov class (e. g. (37]), which is a fundamental invariant in asymptotic analysis of partial differential equations of quantum physics. One of the many in terpretations of this class was given by F. Kamber and Ph. Tondeur (43], and it indicates that the Maslov class is a secondary characteristic class of a complex trivial vector bundle endowed with a real reduction of its structure group. (In the basic paper of V. I. Arnold about the Maslov class (2], it is also pointed out without details that the Maslov class is characteristic in the category of vector bundles mentioned pre viously. ) Accordingly, we wanted to study the whole range of secondary characteristic classes involved in this interpretation, and we gave a short description of the results in (83]. It turned out that a complete exposition of this theory was rather lengthy, and, moreover, I felt that many potential readers would have to use a lot of scattered references in order to find the necessary information from either symplectic geometry or the theory of the secondary characteristic classes. On the otherhand, both these subjects are of a much larger interest in differential geome try and topology, and in the applications to physical theories.
Self-contained development of cohomological theory of manifolds with various sheaves and its application to differential geometry covers categories and functions, sheaves and cohomology, fiber and vector bundles, and cohomology classes and differential forms. 1973 edition.
This book is addressed to graduate students and researchers in the fields of mathematics and physics who are interested in mathematical and theoretical physics, differential geometry, mechanics, quantization theories and quantum physics, quantum groups etc., and who are familiar with differentiable and symplectic manifolds. The aim of the book is to provide the reader with a monograph that enables him to study systematically basic and advanced material on the recently developed theory of Poisson manifolds, and that also offers ready access to bibliographical references for the continuation of his study. Until now, most of this material was dispersed in research papers published in many journals and languages. The main subjects treated are the Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket; the generalized Frobenius theorem; the basics of Poisson manifolds; Poisson calculus and cohomology; quantization; Poisson morphisms and reduction; realizations of Poisson manifolds by symplectic manifolds and by symplectic groupoids and Poisson-Lie groups. The book unifies terminology and notation. It also reports on some original developments stemming from the author's work, including new results on Poisson cohomology and geometric quantization, cofoliations and biinvariant Poisson structures on Lie groups.

Les populations irradiées survivent grâce à un traitement mis au point par les américains, dont les effets secondaires portent toutefois en germe de grands dangers pour l'avenir : ce médicament développe en effet chez certains des pouvoirs surnaturels difficiles à contrôler. Déclarés hors-la-loi, ces individus sont traqués par des chasseurs de prime mandatés par le gouvernement. Kama est un de ces chasseurs de prime. Le jour où il se lance à la poursuite d'un groupe de terroristes coupables du vol d'une bombe nucléaire, il pense remplir une mission comme une autre. Mais ce qu'il va découvrir au cours de sa traque va ébranler ses certitudes les plus ancrées…
This volume discusses the classical subjects of Euclidean, affine and projective geometry in two and three dimensions, including the classification of conics and quadrics, and geometric transformations. These subjects are important both for the mathematical grounding of the student and for applications to various other subjects. They may be studied in the first year or as a second course in geometry.The material is presented in a geometric way, and it aims to develop the geometric intuition and thinking of the student, as well as his ability to understand and give mathematical proofs. Linear algebra is not a prerequisite, and is kept to a bare minimum.The book includes a few methodological novelties, and a large number of exercises and problems with solutions. It also has an appendix about the use of the computer program MAPLEV in solving problems of analytical and projective geometry, with examples.
Master photographer Kenro Izu has for years been working with the platinum palladium process to create stunning nudes and floral still lifes. Using large-format cameras, and contact printing images as large as 14x20 inches, Izu creates photographs that possess a rare sensuality and tactility. Their surface qualities and rich tonalities conjure the hand-crafted beauty of earlier movements in photography, but these images are so timeless they beg contemplation and immersion from the viewer. It's no wonder Izu has been noticed by such important photography collectors as Elton John. This book, the first devoted to both Izu's nudes and floral still lifes, is certain to become a classic. Printed in large format on luscious Italian stock, the images come alive in this rarefied book -- which features an introduction by Richard Gere, and an interpretive essay by noted curator Arthur Olman.
Beautiful bandw images of difficult-to-reach spiritual places reflect the dedicated soul of photographer Izu, who traveled to these places with a specially made large-format camera that weighs 300 pounds. He used the camera to make 14x20" contact platinum/palladium prints of places of worship as diverse as Easter Island, Teotihuacan, Angkor Wat, Stonehenge, the monuments of the Chinese Silk Road, and the caves of Ajanta, among other sites. The great 19th-century photographs of Asia were part of his inspiration, but Izu's work is uniquely his own. An essay by photographic historian Clark Worswick provides an overview of his life and work. The large format of the book (12.25x10.5") allows for sumptuous presentation of the images.

Découvrez la véritable histoire derrière la naissance du démon ! Tokyo, 2005 Trois joueurs français, TKO, M. Judeau et Éric Volta, défient le deuxième Empereur du Versus Fighting. En jeu, simplement l’honneur de combattre un dieu vivant de la discipline. Mais Éric Volta y voit surtout l’occasion de faire sa pub sur la scène internationale ! Il sait que s’il réussit à vaincre Okawa Takashima, le nom de Volta entrera instantanément dans la légende. Sauf que pour affronter Okawa, Éric devra d’abord gagner contre Anna Takashima, 7 ans, un robot programmé pour tuer...
Le monde du Versus Fighting fait face à une lutte fratricide sans précédent. D’un côté, le magna de l’Esport Éric Volta veut professionnaliser le secteur à coup de millions de dollars. De l’autre, Maxime Volta, son propre neveu, a été recruté par Inès, une ancienne joueuse de la salle d’arcade Versus Dojo qui se bat pour préserver la passion du jeu de combat face à l’émergence d’un business du jeu vidéo trop puissant. Pour l’aider, le légendaire TKO le Destructeur va devoir sortir de sa retraite et entraîner son équipe, quitte à réveiller les dieux Japonais de la discipline... Et au milieu de tout ça, il y a l'invité surprise : Mr Judeau, un joueur talentueux de jeux obscurs auxquels personnes d’autres ne joue. L'homme qui se fait payer en kebab est-il l’Élu qui permettra à tout ce beau monde de se réconcilier (ou pas) ? Bienvenue dans l'univers déjanté de Versus Fighting Story !
L'équipe du Versus Dojo a decide de relever le défi du Deuxième Empereur. Okawa Takashima a enfin accepté d’entraîner les combattants du Versus dojo dans sa salle du temps à Tokyo, à condition que nos héros prouvent leur valeur en remportant le tournoi de Super StreetFighter II X au HFS Summer ! Inès, Max, M. Judeau, Valentine et TKO se rendent donc à Vierzon pour participer à une compétition légendaire sur un des jeux les plus complexes de l’Histoire ludique.
