Synopsis:

The transparency and power of geometric constructions has been a source of inspiration to generations of mathematicians. The beauty and persuasion of pictures, communicated in words or drawings, continues to provide the intuition and arguments for working with complicated concepts and structures of modern mathematics. This volume contains a selection of articles exploring geometric approaches to problems in algebra, algebraic geometry and number theory. The collection gives a representative sample of problems and most recent results in algebraic and arithmetic geometry; the text can serve as an intense introduction for graduate students and those wishing to pursue research in these areas.

Review:

From the reviews:

“This is a collection of articles on algebraic and arithmetic geometry most of which were presented at a conference that took place in Miami in December 2003. ... this volume will be attractive for researchers and graduate students in arithmetic geometry. The surveys provided can serve as an introduction for them and offer guidance for further study.” (Ch. Baxa, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 152 (1), September, 2007)
