"Journey to Victory" is a uniquely compiled story as it incorporates the author's education and experience, along with learned facts, together in this compelling piece of literature. "Journey to Victory" opens when the main character, Naomi, makes her way to the store where her best friend, Sandy, is a cashier. Naomi collapses and is rushed to the emergency room of the local hospital to determine the cause. In the confusion, no one close to Naomi is told (up front) what is already known, a...

Reaction-diffusion theory is a topic which has developed rapidly over the last thirty years, particularly with regards to applications in chemistry and life sciences. Of particular importance is the analysis of semi-linear parabolic PDEs. This monograph provides a general approach to the study of semi-linear parabolic equations when the nonlinearity, while failing to be Lipschitz continuous, is Hölder and/or upper Lipschitz continuous, a scenario that is not well studied, despite occurring...

This selection of problems in Group Theory is principally aimed at undergraduate (honours) and postgraduate students of mathematics. Excepting a few, these problems are meant only to supplement the existing ones in standard texts. The comments interspersed in the text help to put the problems in perspective with other problems and with the subject itself. The intention of the book is two-fold: to introduce via problems some concepts not usually taught at the master's level, and reinforce exis...

Sylvia, a young Amish woman, knows about hard work on a farm. After an unfortunate incident on the farm, she finds herself alone and expecting her first child after the death of her husband. She works the farm alone and finds that she cannot handle the workload on her own. Will she be able to endure the hardship?

This book emphasizes the role of symmetry and presents as many viewpoints as possible of an important phenomenon — the functional equation of the associated zeta-function. It starts from the basics before warping into the space of new interest; from the ground state to the excited state. For example, the celebrated Gauss quadratic reciprocity law is proved in four independent ways, which are in some way or other dependent on the functional equation. The proofs rest on finite fields, repres...

This introduction to the philosophy of mathematics focuses on contemporary debates in an important and central area of philosophy. The reader is taken on a fascinating and entertaining journey through some intriguing mathematical and philosophical territory, including such topics as the realism/anti-realism debate in mathematics, mathematical explanation, the limits of mathematics, the significance of mathematical notation, inconsistent mathematics and the applications of mathematics. Each...

”You’re a father.”The very words struck terror in Jackson Garrett’s soul. He had a daughter – the result of the best weekend of his life thirteen years ago with Kelly Cooper – the one he let get away.Now she was back, but can the confirmed bachelor give their daughter – and Kelly – what they’ve always wanted… ?

Brenna Kelly just took that fateful walk down the aisle…as maid of honor at her best friend's wedding.But when the bride's a no-show, Brenna suddenly has to cope with a runaway wedding…and her own runaway feelings for the jilted groom. Dr. Josh Towers is sexy, gorgeous and strictly off-limits. And that includes his adorable twin boys. Being dumped by his fiancée could be the best thing that's ever happened to Josh. Especially when he's so attracted to the curvaceou...

This book is written for undergraduates who wish to learn some basic results in analytic number theory. It covers topics such as Bertrand's Postulate, the Prime Number Theorem and Dirichlet's Theorem of primes in arithmetic progression.The materials in this book are based on A Hildebrand's 1991 lectures delivered at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the author's course conducted at the National University of Singapore from 2001 to 2008.

His past is a mystery, even to him-a werewolf with memories so lost in a fog that even the Hunter's healers cannot help him. More than a century ago, Toronto awakened on an unfamiliar street, naked and alone- and dogged by the unanswered questions of his enigmatic existence.The vampire Sylvia is no Hunter. She's a mercenary who just barely skates this side of what the Hunters consider acceptable. All she wants is to hunt her quarry, and make a lot of money. Her newest prey is a dev...

The purpose of this little book is to give the reader a convenient introduction to the theory of numbers, one of the most extensive and most elegant disciplines in the whole body of mathematics. The arrangement of the material is as follows:The first five chapters are devoted to the development of those elements which are essential to any study of the subject. The sixth and last chapter is intended to give the reader some indication of the direction of further study with a brief ac...

This valuable book focuses on a collection of powerful methods of analysis that yield deep number-theoretical estimates. Particular attention is given to counting functions of prime numbers and multiplicative arithmetic functions. Both real variable (”elementary”) and complex variable (”analytic”) methods are employed. The reader is assumed to have knowledge of elementary number theory (abstract algebra will also do) and real and complex analysis. Specialized analytic techniques, including...
