"Geometric function theory is one of the most interesting parts of complex analysis, an area that has become increasingly relevant as a key feature in the theory of Schramm-Loewner evolution. Though Riemann mapping theorem is frequently explored, there are few texts that discuss…
In the 19th century, pure mathematics research reached a climax in Germany, and Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) was an epochal example. August Ferdinand Mbius (1790-1868) was his doctoral student whose work was profoundly influenced by him. In the 18th century, it had been most…
Recent developments in biology and nanotechnology have stimulated a rapidly growing interest in the mechanics of thin, flexible ribbons and Mobius bands. This edited volume contains English translations of four seminal papers on this topic, all originally written in German; of t…
The mechanics of ribbons and Möbius bands
Recent developments in biology and nanotechnology have stimulated a rapidly growing interest in the mechanics of thin, flexible ribbons and Mobius bands. This edited volume contains English translations of four seminal papers on this topic, all originally written in German; of t…
Parabolic geometries encompass a very diverse class of geometric structures, including such important examples as conformal, projective, and almost quaternionic structures, hypersurface type CR-structures and various types of generic distributions. The characteristic feature of …
