About this title

Synopsis

The collected works of Ernst Eduard Kummer are in two volumes. Volume I consists of Kummer's number theory.Volume II is in four "1. Function "Here one finds his work on the hypergeometric function, and on repeated integrals of rational functions. "2. Algebraic " His discovery of "Kummer surfaces" seems to be an outgrowth of his interest in the optical properties of biaxial crystals, and in the "Cyclides" of Dupin. The relation between these quartic surfaces and quotients of abelian surfaces was perceived only much later. One also finds here a number of papers describing actual plaster models of particular "Kummer surfaces," with special symmetries in evidence, etc. "3. Aerodynamics and ballistics.""4. Speeches and reviews" contains a broad range of topics, including a long retrospective on the life and work of Dirichlet."

Store Description

I started selling used books in 1985 in Davis, California, and online in 1998. I enjoy the process of using language to fully describe the advantages and blemishes of each book. Language can capture details that a photograph might miss, but if you are visually-oriented, I am happy to send a photo--please include your phone number, since it is easier to send a picture via text than email. I am of "mature" years, but will continue to sell books as long as I am able: I enjoy it too much! I am a mere temporary custodian, sending each book to its ultimate shelf--the one where it is appreciated the most.
