Inhaltsangabe

Much of the mathematical folklore passed down from advisor to student, or between collaborators, is not rigorous enough to be discussed in the formal literature. But now, such information can be communicated via the semiformal medium of research blogging. This book grew from a blog begun in 2007 by Tao (mathematics, University of California-Los Angeles), combining his own research and other recent developments in mathematics with lecture notes, non-technical puzzles, and expository articles. With material from the first year of the blog already published in book form, this book is the first volume of a two-volume set of blog posts from 2008, focusing on ergodic theory, topological dynamics, combinatorics, and number theory. It offers expository articles, self-contained lecture notes from Tao's courses, and discussion of topics including additive prime number theory, the law of large numbers, and the Lucas-Lehmer test for Mersenne primes. Some selected comments and feedback from blog readers have also been incorporated into the articles. The readership for the book includes graduate students and research mathematicians.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Terence Tao was the winner of the 2014 Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics. He is the James and Carol Collins Chair of mathematics at UCLA and the youngest person ever to be promoted to full professor at the age of 24. In 2006 Tao became the youngest ever mathematician to win the Fields Medal. His other honours include the George Polya Prize from the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (2010), the Alan T Waterman Award from the National Science Foundation (2008), the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize (2006), the Clay Research Award from the Clay Mathematical Institute (2003), the Bocher Memorial Prize from the American Mathematical Society (2002) and the Salem Prize (2000).
