Description
Dieses Buch will dem Leser eine Einführung in wichtige Techniken und Methoden der heutigen reellen Algebra und Geometrie vermitteln. An Voraussetzungen werden dabei nur Grundkenntnisse der Algebra erwartet, so daß das Buch für Studenten mittlerer Semester geeignet ist.Das erste Kapitel enthält zunächst grundlegende Fakten über angeordnete Körper und ihre reellen Abschlüsse und behandelt dann verschiedene Methoden zur Bestimmung der Anzahl reeller Nullstellen von Polynomen. Das zweite Kapitel befaßt sich mit reellen Stellen und gipfelt in Artins Lösung des 17. Hilbertschen Problems. Kapitel III schließlich ist dem noch jungen Begriff des reellen Spektrums und seinen Anwendungen gewidmet."Neben dem 1987 erschienenen "Géometrie algébrique réelle" von J. Bochnak-M. Coste- M. Roy stellt die vorliegende Monographie das erste Lehrbuch auf diesem Gebiet dar... Damit liegt eine sehr empfehlenswerte Einführung...vor..." (H. Mitsch, Monatshefte für Mathematik 3/111, 1991)
Reviews / Votes
"More than 30 years after its initial publication, the present textbook is still a very valuable source for results in real algebra. It can serve as a textbook for a university course, but also experts will benefit from the nice account of concepts and results. It's great that the book is available again, in particular in an English translation for an international audience." (Tim Netzer, zbMATH 1505.13001, 2023)More details
