Product Description
This classic on the general history of functions was written by one of the 20th century's best-known mathematicians. Weyl combined function theory and geometry in this high-level landmark work, forming a new branch of mathematics and the basis of the modern approach to analysis, geometry, and topology. 1955 edition. |

A classic but not revolutionary  5 Stars
December 29, 2003
I agree with another reader that this book is a classic.But the book is not so revolutionary as what the reader said that if you have not read that book, shot yourself.If that is true, thousands of patients will be jammed into a hospital. Also, the unavailability of this book makes it unknown ot many people. Among various books from Weyl, this is the book out of print. Other books has been re-issued as Dover or continually to be issued by Princeton, only this book remains in oblivion. Also, this book consists only 200+ pages, but the book store sold it at least 240 USD and I think it is very expensive.May be they think they can speculate that book, but unfortunately, books, unlike watches or jewelleries etc, are the things most unlikely to be speculated.

| Theory of Linear Operations
by Stefan Banach (Author), F. Jellett (Translator)
This classic work by the late Stefan Banach has been translated into English so as to reach a yet wider audience. It contains the basics of the algebra of operators, concentrating on the study of linear operators, which corresponds to that of the linear forms a1x1 + a2x2 + ... + anxn of algebra.
The book gathers results concerning linear operators defined in general spaces of a certain kind, principally in Banach spaces, examples of which are: the space of continuous functions, that of...

| Naive Lie Theory (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)
by John Stillwell (Author)
In this new textbook, acclaimed author John Stillwell presents a lucid introduction to Lie theory suitable for junior and senior level undergraduates. In order to achieve this, he focuses on the so-called "classical groups'' that capture the symmetries of real, complex, and quaternion spaces. These symmetry groups may be represented by matrices, which allows them to be studied by elementary methods from calculus and linear algebra. This naive approach to Lie theory is originally due...

| The Theory of Groups and Quantum Mechanics
by Hermann Weyl (Author)
This landmark among mathematics texts applies group theory to quantum mechanics, first covering unitary geometry, quantum theory, groups and their representations, then applications themselves—rotation, Lorentz, permutation groups, symmetric permutation groups, and the algebra of symmetric transformations. Unabridged republication of the English (1931) edition.
