  2. Serge Lang - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Lang

    Serge Lang. Serge Lang (French: [lɑ̃ɡ]; May 19, 1927 – September 12, 2005) was a French-American mathematician and activist who taught at Yale University for most of his career. He is known for his work in number theory and for his mathematics textbooks, including the influential Algebra. He received the Frank Nelson Cole Prize in 1960 and ...

  3. Diophantine geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diophantine_geometry

    In mathematics, Diophantine geometry is the study of Diophantine equations by means of powerful methods in algebraic geometry. By the 20th century it became clear for some mathematicians that methods of algebraic geometry are ideal tools to study these equations. [1] Diophantine geometry is part of the broader field of arithmetic geometry.

  4. Mathematical analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_analysis

    Main article: Harmonic analysis. Harmonic analysis is a branch of mathematical analysis concerned with the representation of functions and signals as the superposition of basic waves. This includes the study of the notions of Fourier series and Fourier transforms (Fourier analysis), and of their generalizations.

  5. Lang's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lang's_theorem

    Steinberg () gave a useful improvement to the theorem.. Suppose that F is an endomorphism of an algebraic group G.The Lang map is the map from G to G taking g to g −1 F(g).. The Lang–Steinberg theorem states [3] that if F is surjective and has a finite number of fixed points, and G is a connected affine algebraic group over an algebraically closed field, then the Lang map is surjective.

  6. Galois theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois_theory

    In mathematics, Galois theory, originally introduced by Évariste Galois, provides a connection between field theory and group theory. This connection, the fundamental theorem of Galois theory, allows reducing certain problems in field theory to group theory, which makes them simpler and easier to understand.

  7. Graduate Texts in Mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduate_Texts_in_Mathematics

    Graduate Texts in Mathematics (GTM) (ISSN 0072-5285) is a series of graduate-level textbooks in mathematics published by Springer-Verlag. The books in this series, like the other Springer-Verlag mathematics series, are yellow books of a standard size (with variable numbers of pages). The GTM series is easily identified by a white band at the ...

  8. Nicolas Bourbaki - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Bourbaki

    Nicolas Bourbaki (French: [nikɔla buʁbaki]) is the collective pseudonym of a group of mathematicians, predominantly French alumni of the École normale supérieure (ENS). Founded in 1934–1935, the Bourbaki group originally intended to prepare a new textbook in analysis. Over time the project became much more ambitious, growing into a large ...

  9. Transcendental number theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental_number_theory

    Noncommutative algebra. v. t. e. Transcendental number theory is a branch of number theory that investigates transcendental numbers (numbers that are not solutions of any polynomial equation with rational coefficients), in both qualitative and quantitative ways.
