数学拾遗

Beginning graduate students in mathematics and other quantitative subjects are expected to have a daunting breadth of mathematical knowledge ,but few have such a backgroud .This book will help stedents see the broad outline of mathematics and to fill in the gaps in their knowlegde. The author explains the basic points and a few key results of the most important undergradute topics in mathematics ,emphasizing the intutions behind the subject.The topics include linear algebra,vector calculus,differential geometry,real analysis ,point-set topology,differential equations,probability theory,complex analysis,abstract algebra,and more.An annotated biliography offers a guide to further reading and more rigorous foundations. This book will be an essential resource for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in mathematics,the physical sciences,engineering,computer science,statistics,and economics,and for anyone else who needs to quickly learn some serious mathemaics.
