*By reading this summary, you will discover that the history of mathematics has nothing to envy to the discovery of the New World. It is also thrilling and surprising! The numbers we use every day, the shapes we draw, the theorems our children learn are all the result of a stroke of genius from one of our distant ancestors and have survived centuries of questioning, to make our lives easier today. Are you ready to go back in time to meet those who did the mathematics? *You will also discover that : most mathematical theorems have been developed from very concrete problems drawn from everyday life; the history of mathematics has been transformed by prodigious men and women who have revolutionized this discipline; mathematical theories sometimes take a long time to be accepted by the scientific community. *The author recounts that he set up his stand at the small summer market of La Flotte-en-Ré, between a stall of African braids and another of cell phones. The place seemed unusual to him: that's good, he likes to do math in unlikely places. He should be happy to see the wide-eyed eyes of schoolchildren or their grandparents who realize, by practicing origami or solving its riddles, that mathematics can be exciting. But deep down he feels sorry for himself. Why does this discipline have such a bad press, as it is at the origin of so many things? Why is it so scary? It is time to tame it through a novel and to discover the great steps that made its history ...

From the reviews: "This book offers a coherent treatment, at the graduate textbook level, of the field that has come to be known in the last decade or so as computational geometry. ... ... The book is well organized and lucidly written; a timely contribution by two founders of the field. It clearly demonstrates that computational geometry in the plane is now a fairly well-understood branch of computer science and mathematics. It also points the way to the solution of the more challenging problems in dimensions higher than two." #Mathematical Reviews#1 "... This remarkable book is a comprehensive and systematic study on research results obtained especially in the last ten years. The very clear presentation concentrates on basic ideas, fundamental combinatorial structures, and crucial algorithmic techniques. The plenty of results is clever organized following these guidelines and within the framework of some detailed case studies. A large number of figures and examples also aid the understanding of the material. Therefore, it can be highly recommended as an early graduate text but it should prove also to be essential to researchers and professionals in applied fields of computer-aided design, computer graphics, and robotics." #Biometrical Journal#2

At the close of the 1980s, the independent contributions of Yann Brenier, Mike Cullen and John Mather launched a revolution in the venerable field of optimal transport founded by G. Monge in the 18th century, which has made breathtaking forays into various other domains of mathematics ever since. The author presents a broad overview of this area, supplying complete and self-contained proofs of all the fundamental results of the theory of optimal transport at the appropriate level of generality. Thus, the book encompasses the broad spectrum ranging from basic theory to the most recent research results. PhD students or researchers can read the entire book without any prior knowledge of the field. A comprehensive bibliography with notes that extensively discuss the existing literature underlines the book’s value as a most welcome reference text on this subject.

Plainchant is the oldest substantial body of music that has been preserved in any shape or form. It was first written down in Western Europe in the eighth to ninth centuries. Many thousands of chants have been sung at different times or places in a multitude of forms and styles, responding to the differing needs of the church through the ages. This book provides a clear and concise introduction, designed both for those to whom the subject is new and those who require a reference work for advanced study. It begins with an explanation of the liturgies that plainchant was designed to serve. It describes all the chief genres of chant, different types of liturgical book, and plainchant notations. After an exposition of early medieval theoretical writing on plainchant, Hiley provides a historical survey that traces the constantly changing nature of the repertory. He also discusses important musicians and centers of composition. Copiously illustrated with over 200 musical examples, this book highlights the diversity of practice and richness of the chant repertory in the Middle Ages. It will be an indispensable introduction and reference source on this important music for many years to come.
