Description for Equivalence, Invariants and Symmetry
Paperback. Presents an innovative synthesis of methods used to study problems of equivalence and symmetry. Num Pages: 544 pages, 6 b/w illus. 7 tables 147 exercises. BIC Classification: PBM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 229 x 152 x 31. Weight in Grams: 790.
Drawing on a wide range of mathematical disciplines, including geometry, analysis, applied mathematics and algebra, this book presents an innovative synthesis of methods used to study problems of equivalence and symmetry which arise in a variety of mathematical fields and physical applications. Systematic and constructive methods for solving equivalence problems and calculating symmetries are developed and applied to a wide variety of mathematical systems, including differential equations, variational problems, manifolds, Riemannian metrics, polynomials and differential operators. Particular emphasis is given to the construction and classification of invariants, and to the reductions of complicated objects to simple canonical forms. This book ... Read more
