"Sub - Riemannian Geometry (also known as Carnot Geometry in France, and Non - Holonomic Riemannian Geometry in Russia) has been a full research domain for fifteen years, with motivations and ramifications in several parts of pure and applied mathematics, namely: Control Theory * Classical Mechanics * Riemannian Geometry (of which Sub - Riemannian Geometry constitutes a natural generalization, and where Sub - Riemannian Metrics may appear as limit cases) * Diffusion on Manifolds * Analysis of Hypoelliptic Operators * Cauchy-Riemann (or CR) Geometry. Although links between these domains had been foreseen by many authors in the past, it is only in recent… Read More

75 Pages.This is an early book regarding the complex subject of Differential Calculus. The book's exterior has worn areas on all four corners, at the top and bottom of the spine, and wearing areas on the top and bottom and the right edges of the book and lastly the rear cover has some white paint speckles on it. The interior book, however, outside of the browning of its pages, has no further visible distractions, detriments, or extraneous markings throughout it and thus all printing is in a very well-preserved and readable condition and the book's bindings remain tight and therefore sound.If you order this =book from us, it will be carefully wrapped up, padded, boxed, and then sent right away to you and will come with our genuine appreciation for your interest and your order.

New York: Springer-Verlag, 1966. Third Enlarged Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 508pp; Yellow cloth boards with titling to front & spine, boards square, clean & bright, previous owner's name to FFEP, text unmarked, binding is tight, VG condition. Textbook of formulas and theorems for the special functions of mathematical physics. Translated from the German.

This early American textbook has a quarter leather binding, with the spine in leather and heavy paper boards. The boards show considerable wear, with the marbled paper cover stripped away in places and heavily worn in others. However, both boards are firmly attached to the spine and the binding is still tight with all pages intact. The pages are heavy textured paper, some staining, but in amazingly good condition, considering the age of this obviously much-used volume. Except for some long-hand division on the inside of the back board, the book is unmarked. The best feature of the text is its content--besides all sorts of mathematic information, problems and measurements, it also has instructions/examples of all sorts of things mathematical--eg. the correct way to design a graph, calculations for different forms of weight, motion. measures of all kinds and an entire section of the appropriate forms of notes, deeds, bonds, receipts and wills--all in the erudite, charming language of the age. This is a… Read More
