Chinese mathematicians; proceedings; 2v.9780821844168 Chinese mathematicians; proceedings; 2v. International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (3d: 2004: Hong Kong Hong Kong (hŏng kŏng), Mandarin Xianggang, special administrative region of China, formerly a British crown colony (2005 est. pop. 6,899,000), land area 422 sq mi (1,092 sq km), adjacent to Guangdong prov. , China) Ed. by Ka-Sing Lau et al. American Mathematical Society The American Mathematical Society (AMS) is an association of professional mathematicians dedicated to the interests of mathematical research and scholarship, which it does with various publications and conferences as well as annual monetary awards to mathematicians. 2008 874 pages $159.00 Paperback AMS/IP studies in advanced mathematics; v.42 QA1 With dozens of lectures, expository and survey articles, these proceedings reflect the international interest in both pure and applied mathematics. General topics include algebra, number theory, cryptography, algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, geometric analysis, complex analysis, complex geometry, harmonic analysis, functional analysis, applied mathematics, dynamical systems Dynamical Systems A system of equations where the output of one equation is part of the input for another. A simple version of a dynamical system is linear simultaneous equations. Non-linear simultaneous equations are nonlinear dynamical systems. , fractals, wavelets See wavelet compression. Wavelets The elementary building blocks in a mathematical tool for analyzing functions. The functions can be very diverse; examples are solutions of a differential equation, and one- and two-dimensional signals. , numerical analysis, partial differential equations, probability, statistics, combinatorics combinatorics (kŏm'bənətôr`ĭks) or combinatorial analysis (kŏm'bĭnətôr`ēəl) , numerical analysis and scientific computing, applications of mathematics in the sciences, financial mathematics, control theory of optimization, ordinary differential equations, and education. Specific lecture topics include shock waves and cosmology, number theory, and analysis. Each entry contains its own references and there are no general appendices or indices.
