Summary: The theory of algebraic function fields has its origins in number theory, complex analysis (compact Riemann surfaces), and algebraic geometry. Since about 1980, function fields have found surprising applications in other branches of mathematics such as coding theory, cryptography, sphere packings and others. The main objective of this book is to provide a purely algebraic, self-contained and in-depth exposition of the theory of function fields.This new edition, published in the series Graduate Texts in Mathematics, has been considerably expanded. Moreover, the present edition contains numerous exercises. Some of them are fairly easy and help the reader to understand the basic material. Other exercises are more advanced and cover additional material which could not be included in the text.This volume is mainly addressed to graduate students in mathematics and theoretical computer science, cryptography, coding theory and electrical engineering.<

An important contribution to the social literature of our time." ?Roger Wilkins, New York TimesA Passion for Equality traces the life of George Wiley, one of the most original and controversial leaders of the social movements of the 1960s and early 1970s. Beyond Wiley's personal story, the book illuminates a stormy period of American history, which witnessed the rise of the civil rights and welfare rights movements. Defying the standard wisdom of political scientists, Wiley successfully organized thousands of poor women into his National Welfare Rights Organization, helped spark national debate over the welfare system, and forced much-needed reforms. biographies,politics and social sciences,social sciences,textbooks Biographies, W.
