内容説明

First year, undergraduate, mathematics students in Japan have for many years had the opportunity of a unique experience---an introduction, at an elementary level, to some very advanced ideas in mathematics from one of the leading mathematicians of the world. English reading students now have the opportunity to enjoy this lively presentation, from elementary ideas to cartoons to funny examples, and to follow the mind of an imaginative and creative mathematician into a world of enduring mathematical creations.

内容説明

Kuga's lectures on group theory and differential equations are a realization of two dreams - one to see Galois groups used to attack the problems of differential equations, and the other to do so in a way that takes students from a basic level to an understanding of the heart of the problem.
