Free Download Available surfaces : essays on poesis By Hummer Hummer
2012 | 160 Pages | ISBN: 0472071858 | PDF | 2 MB
In Available Surfaces , T. R. Hummer explores the art of making both poetry and music, and of the concept of "making" itself. He draws on childhood experiences and experiences as an adult, as a poet, and as an explorer of unworldly spaces to examine that "something ineffable about the process of making of which the poem is the exemplary artifact." Hummer grew up in the deep South, and spent many of his high school years playing saxophone in various rock and roll bands before he met poetry. This musical influence is visible in his work: he often discusses poetry together with music, or music with poetry, and his career has included both writing and performance.

Free Download Schoolism – Rendering Reflective Surfaces
Scott Robertson | Duration: 9:14 h | Video: H264 1280×1024 | Audio: AAC 44,1 kHz 2ch | 7,76 GB | Language: English
Rendering realistic-looking reflective surfaces can be a big challenge for any artist. In this course, master concept designer, Scott Robertson, will help you understand the underlying physics that influence all reflective surfaces, from shiny cars to a wet street. He will demonstrate how to add realism to your shiny surfaces and communicate surface changes to the viewer by manipulating the reflections themselves.
“Rendering Reflective Surfaces with Scott Robertson” is available exclusively through Schoolism and consists of 9 lectures presented over 14 weeks.

Free Download Kiel Moe, "Thermally Active Surfaces in Architecture"
English | ISBN: 156898880X | 2010 | 240 pages | PDF | 56 MB
In the architecture profession’s ongoing quest for sustainability, it is often the most fundamental practices that require rethinking. Thermally Active Surfaces in Architecture, the groundbreaking new study by 2009 Rome Prize-winning architect Kiel Moe, argues that water, with its higher density, is far better at capturing and channeling energy than air. By separating the heating and cooling of a building from its ventilation, the building’s structure itself becomes the primary thermal system. This transformation of energy and building practices triggers a cascading set of possibilities for a building’s health, structure, and durability. The first and only book of its kind, Thermally Active Surfaces in Architecture details ten contemporary case studies, from some of today’s most innovative architects.

Free Download Minimal Surfaces and Functions of Bounded Variation by Enrico Giusti
English | PDF | 1984 | 250 Pages | ISBN : 0817631534 | 11.6 MB
The problem of finding minimal surfaces, i. e. of finding the surface of least area among those bounded by a given curve, was one of the first considered after the foundation of the calculus of variations, and is one which received a satis factory solution only in recent years. Called the problem of Plateau, after the blind physicist who did beautiful experiments with soap films and bubbles, it has resisted the efforts of many mathematicians for more than a century. It was only in the thirties that a solution was given to the problem of Plateau in 3-dimensional Euclidean space, with the papers of Douglas [DJ] and Rado [R T1, 2]. The methods of Douglas and Rado were developed and extended in 3-dimensions by several authors, but none of the results was shown to hold even for minimal hypersurfaces in higher dimension, let alone surfaces of higher dimension and codimension. It was not until thirty years later that the problem of Plateau was successfully attacked in its full generality, by several authors using measure-theoretic methods; in particular see De Giorgi [DG1, 2, 4, 5], Reifenberg [RE], Federer and Fleming [FF] and Almgren [AF1, 2]. Federer and Fleming defined a k-dimensional surface in IR" as a k-current, i. e. a continuous linear functional on k-forms. Their method is treated in full detail in the splendid book of Federer [FH 1].

Free Download Ramified Surfaces: On Branch Curves and Algebraic Geometry in the 20th Century (Frontiers in the History of Science) by Michael Friedman
English | September 28, 2022 | ISBN: 3031057198 | 264 pages | MOBI | 6.82 Mb
The book offers an extensive study on the convoluted history of the research of algebraic surfaces, focusing for the first time on one of its characterizing curves: the branch curve. Starting with separate beginnings during the 19th century with descriptive geometry as well as knot theory, the book focuses on the 20th century, covering the rise of the Italian school of algebraic geometry between the 1900s till the 1930s (with Federigo Enriques, Oscar Zariski and Beniamino Segre, among others), the decline of its classical approach during the 1940s and the 1950s (with Oscar Chisini and his students), and the emergence of new approaches with Boris Moishezon’s program of braid monodromy factorization.By focusing on how the research on one specific curve changed during the 20th century, the author provides insights concerning the dynamics of epistemic objects and configurations of mathematical research. It is in this sense that the book offers to take the branch curve as a cross-section through the history of algebraic geometry of the 20th century, considering this curve as an intersection of several research approaches and methods.

Free Download Algebraic Surfaces in Positive Characteristics: Purely Inseparable Phenomena in Curves and Surfaces by Masayoshi Miyanishi, Hiroyuki Ito
English | August 4, 2020 | ISBN: 9811215200 | 456 pages | MOBI | 14 Mb
Customarily, the framework of algebraic geometry has been worked over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, say, over the complex number field. However, over a field of positive characteristics, many unpredictable phenomena arise where analyses will lead to further developments.In the present book, we consider first the forms of the affine line or the additive group, classification of such forms and detailed analysis. The forms of the affine line considered over the function field of an algebraic curve define the algebraic surfaces with fibrations by curves with moving singularities. These fibrations are investigated via the Mordell-Weil groups, which are originally introduced for elliptic fibrations.This is the first book which explains the phenomena arising from purely inseparable coverings and Artin-Schreier coverings. In most cases, the base surfaces are rational, hence the covering surfaces are unirational. There exists a vast, unexplored world of unirational surfaces. In this book, we explain the Frobenius sandwiches as examples of unirational surfaces.Rational double points in positive characteristics are treated in detail with concrete computations. These kinds of computations are not found in current literature. Readers, by following the computations line after line, will not only understand the peculiar phenomena in positive characteristics, but also understand what are crucial in computations. This type of experience will lead the readers to find the unsolved problems by themselves.
