Eléments dhistoire des mathématiques = Elements of the history of mathematics
Brings together the historical notes published in the various books of mathematics elements by the author. They therefore concern all the matters covered in this treaty: set theory, algebra, topology, functions of a variable real, topological vector spaces, integration, commutative algebra, groups and Lie algebras. Composed of initially separate studies, this work does not claim to sketch a followed and complete history of development of mathematics. The interweaving of the different themes and the unity of the point of view ensure the deep consistency.
Einstein Manifolds
"[...] an efficient reference book for many fundamental techniques of Riemannian geometry. [...] despite its length, the reader will have no difficulty in getting the feel of its contents and discovering excellent examples of all interaction of geometry with partial differential equations, topology, and Lie groups. Above all, the book provides a clear insight into the scope and diversity of problems posed by its title."
Effective Computational Geometry for Curves and Surfaces
Computational geometry emerged as a discipline in the seventies and has had considerable success in improving the asymptotic complexity of the solutions to basic geometric problems including constructions of data structures,convex hulls, triangulations, Voronoi diagrams and geometric arrangements as well as geometric optimisation. The goal of this book is to take into consideration the multidisciplinary nature of the problem and to provide solid mathematical and algorithmic foundations for effiective computational geometry fo rcurves and surfaces. This book covers two main approaches. In a first part, we discuss exact geometric algorithms for curves and s- faces. We revisit two prominent data structures of computational geometry, namely arrangements (Chap. 1) and Voronoi diagrams (Chap. 2) in order to understand how these structures, which are well-known for linear objects, behave when de?ned on curved objects.

Differential Analysis on Complex Manifolds
In developing the tools necessary for the study of complex manifolds, this comprehensive, well-organized treatment presents in its opening chapters a detailed survey of recent progress in four areas: geometry (manifolds with vector bundles), algebraic topology, differential geometry, and partial differential equations. Subsequent chapters then develop such topics as Hermitian exterior algebra and the Hodge *-operator, harmonic theory on compact manifolds, differential operators on a Kahler manifold, the Hodge decomposition theorem on compact Kahler manifolds, the Hodge-Riemann bilinear relations on Kahler manifolds, Griffiths's period mapping, quadratic transformations, and Kodaira's vanishing and embedding theorems.

Continuous Semigroups of Holomorphic Self-maps of the Unit Disc
The book faces the interplay among dynamical properties of semigroups, analytical properties of infinitesimal generators and geometrical properties of Koenigs functions. The book includes precise descriptions of the behavior of trajectories, backward orbits, petals and boundary behavior in general, aiming to give a rather complete picture of all interesting phenomena that occur. In order to fulfill this task, we choose to introduce a new point of view, which is mainly based on the intrinsic dynamical aspects of semigroups in relation with the hyperbolic distance and a deep use of Carathéodory prime ends topology and Gromov hyperbolicity theory.
Conception optimale de structures = Optimal structural design
Optimal Structural Design deals with all aspects of shape optimization, parametric, geometric and topological, and gives a large place to numerical algorithms, gradient methods and stochastic methods (with an original contribution by Marc Schoenauer for this last point). In particular, most of the structural optimization algorithms have been implemented in the FreeFem ++ finite element software and the programs are freely available on the web. Optimal structural design is devoted to structural or shape optimization and is intended for a mixed audience of applied mathematicians and mechanicians. It discusses parametric, geometric and topology optimization and gives deterministic and stochastic numerical algorithms (implemented in the FreeFem ++ finite element software).

Computer Graphics for Artists : An Introduction
Far too often artists, even professionals, lack a basic understanding of the principles of computer graphics resulting in inefficiency and a lower quality of work. This book addresses these issues by providing fundamental information in a university course format, with theoretical material, detailed illustrations, and projects to test the reader’s understanding of the concepts covered.
Computational Methods for Algebraic Spline Surfaces : ESF Exploratory Workshop
The papers included in this volume provide an overview about the state-of-the-art in approximative implicitization and various related topics, including both the theoretical basis and the existing computational techniques. The novel idea of approximate implicitization has strengthened the existing link between Computer Aided Geometric Design and classical algebraic geometry. There is a growing interest from researchers and professionals both in CAGD and Algebraic Geometry, to meet and combine knowledge and ideas, in order to better solve industrial--type challenges, as well as to initiate new directions for basic research. This volume will support this exchange of ideas between the various communities.

Combinatorial Algebraic Topology
Combinatorial algebraic topology is a fascinating and dynamic field at the crossroads of algebraic topology and discrete mathematics. This volume is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject in book form. The first part of the book constitutes a swift walk through the main tools of algebraic topology, including Stiefel-Whitney characteristic classes, which are needed for the later parts. Readers - graduate students and working mathematicians alike - will probably find particularly useful the second part, which contains an in-depth discussion of the major research techniques of combinatorial algebraic topology. Our presentation of standard topics is quite different from that of existing texts. In addition, several new themes, such as spectral sequences, are included.
