Free Download Lectures on Geometry
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031514130 | 503 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 51 MB
This is an introductory textbook on geometry (affine, Euclidean and projective) suitable for any undergraduate or first-year graduate course in mathematics and physics. In particular, several parts of the first ten chapters can be used in a course of linear algebra, affine and Euclidean geometry by students of some branches of engineering and computer science. Chapter 11 may be useful as an elementary introduction to algebraic geometry for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics. Chapters 12 and 13 may be a part of a course on non-Euclidean geometry for mathematics students. Chapter 13 may be of some interest for students of theoretical physics (Galilean and Einstein’s general relativity). It provides full proofs and includes many examples and exercises. The covered topics include vector spaces and quadratic forms, affine and projective spaces over an arbitrary field; Euclidean spaces; some synthetic affine, Euclidean and projective geometry; affine and projective hyperquadrics with coefficients in an arbitrary field of characteristic different from 2; Bézout’s theorem for curves of P^2 (K), where K is a fixed algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic; and Cayley-Klein geometries.

Free Download A.J.N. Mohanty, "Lectures on Consciousness and Interpretation: Edited with an Introduction by Tara Chatterjee"
English | ISBN: 0195698517 | 2009 | 177 pages | PDF | 14 MB
J.N. Mohanty is one of the most distinguished philosophers India has produced in recent years. Written mostly in the 21st century, this collection deals with the nature of consciousness and its interpretation. Starting from the concept of consciousness as an event in time, he investigates the notion of consciousness as a social phenomenon. The temporality and historicity of consciousness are also emphasized. He examines experiences from various walks of life, from religion to quantum physics, from interpretation of perception to that of sacred Indian texts to demonstrate his theory. The introduction locates Mohanty’s work in the larger context of philosophical discourses in the West and India.

Free Download Robert D. Denham, "Northrop Frye’s Lectures"
English | ISBN: 1443893048 | 2016 | 703 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The great Canadian literary critic and humanist Northrop Frye taught at Victoria College, University of Toronto, for fifty-three years. Remembering Northrop Frye (2011) brought together letters from eighty-nine of Fryes students and friends in which they recorded their recollections of him as a teacher during the 1940s and 1950s. However, these students provided very few accounts of what Frye actually said in the classroom. Outside of the video recordings of Fryes course in the English Bible, this book, a transcription of fifteen sets of notes taken by Northrop Fryes students in the late 1940s and early 1950s, is the only available extended record of the content of Fryes courses. For all those who wish that they could have sat in one or more of Fryes classes, the present collection of notes will at least partially fulfill that wish. One can now attend, as it were, fifteen of Fryes classes without having to pay tuition.
