From the book reviews:
"This award-winning monograph provides an introduction to the topic of mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces in Euclidean space for the advanced student and the researcher . . It reorganizes material scattered throughout the literature within the last 25 years, thereby mainly concentrating on the classical parametric approach due to R. Hamilton and G. Huisken." (R. Steinbauer, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 174, 2014)
"In the book under review the author mainly discusses some classical results on mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces. . Specifically, the author also gives some recent conclusions, some references to open problems and research directions. The book is not only suitable for beginners but also for researchers." (Shouwen Fang, Mathematical Reviews, January, 2013)
"This book gives an introduction to the topic of mean curvature flows of hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces. . It is written in the style of lecture notes and provides a detailed discussion of the classical parametric approach by R. Hamilton and G. Huisken, as well as the results by other authors scattered over the literature of the last 25 years. . The book finishes with 6 appendices." (Boris S. Kruglikov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1230, 2012)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
