Fundamental text by a prominent American mathematician who taught at the University of Chicago, the University of Michigan, and other top colleges

Lectures on Boolean AlgebrasPaul R. HalmosThis presentation on the basics of Boolean algebra has ranked among the fundamental books on this important subject in mathematics and computing science since its ini-tial publication in 1963. Concise and informal as well as sys-tematic, the text draws upon Professor Halmos's lectures at the University of Chicago to cover many topics in brief indi-vidual chapters. Several chapters conclude with stimulating exercises (solutions not included).Reprint of the Van Nostrand, Princeton, New Jersey, 1963 edition. 160pp. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2.

Facing the Heat BarrierA History of HypersonicsT. A. HeppenheimerThis volume from the NASA History Series presents an overview of the science of hyper-sonics, the study of flight at speeds at which the physics of flows is dominated by aero-dynamic heating. Hypersonics provides thermal protection during atmospheric entry and is key to the advancement of high-speed propulsion. This volume will appeal to readers interested in the history and future of aeronautics and astronautics. Reprinted from the NASA History Series, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Washington D.C., 2006 edition. 352pp. 6 1/8 x 9 1/4.

On Riemann's Theory of Algebraic Functions and Their IntegralsFelix Klein Translated by Frances HardcastleThis volume introduces Riemann's approach to multiple-value functions and the geometri-cal representation of these functions by what later became known as Riemann surfaces. The text focuses on the kinds of functions that can be defined on these surfaces and dem-onstrates how Riemann's mathematical ideas about Abelian integrals can be arrived at by thinking in terms of the flow of electric current on surfaces.Reprint of the 1893 edition. 96pp. 6 x 9.

Foundations of GeometryEuclidean, Bolyai-Lobachevskian, and Projective GeometryKarol Borsuk and Wanda Szmielew Translated by Erwin MarquitIn Part One of this comprehensive and frequently cited treatment, the authors develop Euclidean and Bolyai-Lobachevskian geom-etry on the basis of an axiom system due, in principle, to the work of David Hilbert. Part Two develops projective geometry in much the same way. Rigorous proofs appear throughout the text, and an Introduction provides background on topological space, analytic geometry, and other relevant topics.Reprint of the North-Holland Publishing Co., Amsterdam and Interscience Publishers, New York, 1960 edition. 448pp. 6 x 9.
