Description for Morse Theory. (AM-51), Volume 51
Paperback. One classical application of Morse theory includes the attempt to understand, with only limited information, the large-scale structure of an object. This kind of problem occurs in mathematical physics, dynamic systems, and mechanical engineering. This book offers an exposition of Morse theory by John Milnor, recipient of the Fields Medal in 1962. Series: Annals of Mathematics Studies. Num Pages: 160 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: PB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 236 x 158 x 11. Weight in Grams: 250.
One of the most cited books in mathematics, John Milnor's exposition of Morse theory has been the most important book on the subject for more than forty years. Morse theory was developed in the 1920s by mathematician Marston Morse. (Morse was on the faculty of the Institute for Advanced Study, and Princeton published his Topological Methods in the Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable in the Annals of Mathematics Studies series in 1947.) One classical application of Morse theory includes the attempt to understand, with only limited information, the large-scale structure of an object. This kind of problem occurs ... Read more
