Introduction to Lie Algebras
This book provides an elementary introduction to Lie algebras. It starts with basic concepts. A section on low-dimensional Lie algebras provides readers with experience of some useful examples. This is followed by a discussion of solvable Lie algebras and a strategy towards a classification of finite-dimensional complex Lie algebras. The next chapters cover Engel's theorem, Lie's theorem and Cartan's criteria and introduce some representation theory. The root-space decomposition of a semisimple Lie algebra is discussed, and the classical Lie algebras studied in detail. The authors also classify root systems, and give an outline of Serre's construction of complex semisimple Lie algebras. An overview of further directions then concludes the book and shows the high degree to which Lie algebras influence present-day mathematics.The only prerequisite is some linear algebra and an appendix summarizes the main facts that are needed. The treatment is kept as simple as possible with no attempt at full generality.

Introduction to Data Envelopment Analysis and Its Uses : With DEA-Solver Software and References
Recent years have seen a great variety of applications of DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) for use in evaluating the performances of many different kinds of entities engaged in many different activities in many different contexts in many different countries. One reason is that DEA has opened up possibilities for use in cases which have been resistant to other approaches because of the complex (often unknown) nature of the relations between multiple inputs and multiple outputs involved in many of these activities (which are often reported in non-commeasurable units). It provide a systematic introduction to DEA and its uses as a multifaceted tool for evaluating problems in a variety of contexts.

Introduction à la résolution des systèmes polynomiaux = Introduction to solving polynomial systems
This book is an introduction to algebraic methods for solving this type of equations. We show how the geometry of algebraic varieties defined by these equations, their dimension, their degree, or their components can be deduced from the properties of the corresponding quotient algebras. For this, we approach methods of effective algebraic geometry, such as Grobner bases, resolution by eigenvalues and vectors, resultants, bezoutians, duality, Gorenstein algebras and algebraic residues.
