Exciting and easy-to-follow reading for all those interested in mathematics. This considerably expanded third German edition of “Das BUCH der Beweise” contains five new chapters dealing with classics such as the “fundamental theorem of algebra” and combinatorial geometric decomposition problems, but also with highly modern proofs, such as the “Kneser conjecture” in graph theory. The new edition also offers a number of improvements and surprises - including a new proof for “Hilbert’s third problem.” Reviews of the previous editions: “A wonderful, extremely carefully and lovingly written book! Erdös had the idea of DAS BUCH, in which God had written the perfect proofs of mathematical theorems. The present work seeks to serve as a “very modest approximation” of this BUCH.... Aigner and Ziegler’s book is a success...” Mathematische Semesterberichte, November 1999 “Paul Erdös travelled tirelessly around the world, establishing new theorems. Now two of his colleagues have completed his greatest work: Das BUCH der Beweise - a firework of mathematical inspirations. ......” Die Weltwoche 18. April 2002 “... Martin Aigner ... and Günter Ziegler convey these brilliant brainstorms in a reader-friendly way. ... The proof itself, its aesthetic, and its punchline all come into the history book of the queen of sciences. Her grace is revealed in this fantastic and skillfully illustrated book on das BUCH. In order to truly enjoy it, it’s worthwhile to freshen up those bits of mathematics we may have forgotten, or those they didn’t show us at school.” Die Zeit, 13. August 1998 “...And so here it is, das BUCH der Beweise in the wonderful version by Martin Aigner and Günter Ziegler .... Those readers who (like myself) have to date tried in vain to sneak a peak at das BUCH, will greedily pore over Aigner and Ziegler’s BUCH der Beweise ... www.mathematik.de, Mai 2002 Fields: Mathematics in general; number theory; geometry Target groups: Mathematicians and scientists, students and teachers Contents Foreword.- Number theory.- Geometry.- Analysis.- Combinatorics.- Graph theory.- About the illustrations.- Keyword index Contact: Springer | Rights and Permissions | Tiergartenstr. 17 | 69121 Heidelberg | Germany [email protected] Title Information in English http://www.springer.com/spektrum+akademischer+verlag/mathematik/mathematik+%C3%BCbergreif end/book/978-3-8274-2494-5?changeHeader=true Mathematik zum Mitnehmen (Mathematics You Can Take With You) Summaries and overviews from “Mathematics” by Arens et al.

Resources are in short supply and the CO2 emissions can lead to dramatic climate changes. The consumption boom is likely to influence the behavior of the car buyers. The author, a former development manager for Audi and member of the supervisory board accompanies readers in examining the changes of the last 20 years. His editorials and comments in the specialist journals ATZ (Technical Automobile Journal) and MTZ (Technical Motor Journal) are collected in this reader and make it possible for non-experts to evaluate and classify innovative developments of the automobile. From the contents: The automobile – Motors and transmissions – Gasoline engines – Diesel engines – Special motors – Engine components – Acoustics – Hybrid drives – Electric drives – Fuel cells – Fuels and lubricants – Renewable energies – The automobile industry – Politics – Brought to the point Target groups: Engineers in automobile development and automobile production Automobile and motoring journalists Media experts for the "Automotive" branch Interested non-experts Authors: Dr.-Ing. E. h. Richard van Basshuysen was development manager for comfort class vehicles and for engine and transmission development at Audi. Today, he is an editor of the specialist journals ATZ (Technical Automobile Journal) and MTZ (Technical Motor Journal). He was awarded the Benz- Daimler-Maybach honory medal by the Association of German Engineers (VDI) for the mass production of the direct-injection diesel engine in 2001, after having received the highly renowned Ernst Blickle prize in 2000.
