Description
The present volume is a translation, revision and updating of our book (published in French) with the title "Géométrie Algébrique Réelle". Since its publication in 1987 the theory has made advances in several directions. There have also been new insights into material already in the French edition. Many of these advances and insights have been incorporated in this English version of the book, so that it may be viewed as being substantially different from the original.
Reviews / Votes
"Wie schon das franzosische Original, so ist auch die englische Version sehr sorgfaltig verfasst. Beim Vergleich zwischen beiden stosst man immer wieder auf Stellen, wo der ursprungliche Text nicht nur einfach ubersetzt, sondern im Interesse einer noch klareren Darstellung auch neu konzipiert worden ist. Kein Zweifel, dass die neue Fassung auch weiterhin die Rolle einer Standradreferenz spielen wird." DMV Jahresbericht, 103. Band, Heft 2, Juli 2001More details
