1	College Algebra with Modeling and Visualization more books like this by Gary K Rockswold add to wishlist Gary Rockswold focuses on teaching algebra in context, answering the question, "Why am I learning this?" and ultimately motivating the students to succeed in this class. In addition, the author's understanding of what instructors need from a text (great 'real' examples and lots of exercises) makes this book fun and easy to teach from. Integrating ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $25.30! \| SVS

4	The Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves more books like this by Joseph H Silverman add to wishlist The theory of elliptic curves is distinguished by its long history and by the diversity of the methods that have been used in its study. This book treats the arithmetic theory of elliptic curves in its modern formulation, through the use of basic algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry. The book begins with a brief discussion of the ... see all copies from $28.42! new only from $34.99! \| first editions \| SVS
5	Ideals, Varieties, and Algorithms: An Introduction to Computational Algebraic Geometry and Commutative Algebra more books like this by David A Cox, PH.D. add to wishlist Algebraic Geometry is the study of systems of polynomial equations in one or more variables, asking such questions as: does the system have finitely many solutions, and if so how can one find them? And if there are infinitely many solutions, how can they be described and manipulated? The solutions of a system of polynomial equations form a ... see all copies from $22.00! new only from $25.08! \| SVS
6	Algebraic Codes on Lines, Planes, and Curves: An Engineering Approach more books like this by Richard E Blahut add to wishlist Algebraic geometry is often employed to encode and decode signals transmitted in communication systems.

9	Convex polytopes more books like this by Branko Grünbaum add to wishlist The appearance of Gruenbaum's book Convex Polytopes in 1967 was a moment of grace to geometers and combinatorialists. The special spirit of the book is very much alive even in those chapters where the book's immense influence made them quickly obsolete. Some other chapters promise beautiful unexplored land for future research. The appearance of ... see all copies from $25.00! new only from $32.16! \| first editions \| SVS
10	Frobenius Algebras and 2-D Topological Quantum Field Theories more books like this by Joachim Kock, C M Series (Editor), J W Bruce (Editor) add to wishlist This book describes a striking connection between topology and algebra, namely that 2D topological quantum field theories are equivalent to commutative Frobenius algebras. The precise formulation of the theorem and its proof is given in terms of monoidal categories, and the main purpose of the book is to develop these concepts from an elementary ... see all copies from $12.98! new only from $12.98!
11 view cover	Rational Algebraic Curves: A Computer Algebra Approach more books like this by Franz Winkler, J Rafael Sendra, Sonia Perez-Diaz add to wishlist The central problem considered in this book is the determination of rational parametrizability of an algebraic curve, and, in the positive case, the computation of a good rational parametrization. This amounts to determining the genus of a curve, i.e. its complete singularity structure, computing regular points of the curve in small coordinate ... see all copies from $8.14! new only from $19.53! \| first editions \| SVS
12 view cover	Algebraic Geometry: A First Course more books like this by Joe Harris add to wishlist This book is intended to introduce students to algebraic geometry; to give them a sense of the basic objects considered, the questions asked about them, and the sort of answers one can expect to obtain. It thus emplasizes the classical roots of the subject. For readers interested in simply seeing what the subject is about, this avoids the more ... see all copies from $34.99! new only from $52.09! \| SVS
13 view cover	Spinning tops a course on integrable systems more books like this by Audin add to wishlist Since the time of Lagrange and Euler, it has been well known that an understanding of algebraic curves can illuminate the picture of rigid bodies provided by classical mechanics. A modern view of the role played by algebraic geometry has been established in recent years by many mathematicians. This book presents some of these modern techniques, ... see all copies from $31.65! new only from $34.44! \| SVS

22 view cover	Algebraic Curves and Riemann Surfaces more books like this by Rick Miranda add to wishlist In this book, Miranda takes the approach that algebraic curves are best encountered for the first time over the complex numbers, where the reader's classical intuition about surfaces, integration, and other concepts can be brought into play. Therefore, many examples of algebraic curves are presented in the first chapters. In this way, the book ... see all copies from $35.00! new only from $64.40!
23 view cover	Conics and Cubics: A Concrete Introduction to Algebraic Curves more books like this by Robert Bix add to wishlist "Conics and Cubics" is an accessible introduction to algebraic curves.
