Description for Foliations I (Graduate Studies in Mathematics)
Hardcover. Part of the ""AMS in the Graduate Studies in Mathematics"" series, this volume focuses on the qualitative theory of foliations. It explains the fundamental definitions and theorems to prepare the reader for further exploration of the topic. It considers foliations of codimension one, and also deals with foliations of higher codimension. Series: Graduate Studies in Mathematics. Num Pages: 394 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: PBPH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 261 x 183 x 26. Weight in Grams: 938.
This is the first of two volumes on the qualitative theory of foliations. This volume is divided into three parts. It is extensively illustrated throughout and provides a large number of examples. Part 1 is intended as a 'primer' in foliation theory. A working knowledge of manifold theory and topology is a prerequisite. Fundamental definitions and theorems are explained to prepare the reader for further exploration of the topic. This section places considerable emphasis on the construction of examples, which are accompanied by many illustrations. Part 2 considers foliations of codimension one. Using very hands-on geometric methods, the path leads ... Read more
