How to be a Complete and Utter F**k Up


Book Description

How to be a Complete and Utter F**k Up is your ultimate ANTI life coach. Be warned: whatever you do, don’t do the opposite of what you learn here or else you’re in serious danger of making some positive changes and leading a more successful life. How to be a Complete and Utter F**k Up turns the concept of self-improvement on its head. It brings together 47 and a half leading ideas in personal and business development, and offers a total antidote to the motivational, gung-ho, over-enthused tone of all the usual self-improvement guides. Delivered in fast, easily digestible chunks, in a style that makes you laugh while you learn, this book offers tongue-in-cheek advice about what not to do to ensure certain failure in every aspect of your life. From not having any goals, to not getting advice from people you’ve never met or who are dead, to not taking personal responsibility for your life and results, every idea, strategy, suggestion and story is guaranteed to propel you into the slow lane of total inadequacy and has been tested with thousands of real people. How to be a Complete and Utter F**k Up comes with a warning – that you don’t think about taking the direct opposite steps to those outlined in the guide, as this could seriously damage your chances of becoming a failure. Behind the humour, though, is good advice and a serious message. And whether you choose to heed the warning or not, it’s an extremely entertaining read.

Class Field Theory and L Functions


Book Description

The book contains the main results of class field theory and Artin L functions, both for number fields and function fields, together with the necessary foundations concerning topological groups, cohomology, and simple algebras. While the first three chapters presuppose only basic algebraic and topological knowledge, the rest of the books assumes knowledge of the basic theory of algebraic numbers and algebraic functions, such as those contained in my previous book, An Invitation to Algebraic Numbers and Algebraic Functions (CRC Press, 2020). The main features of the book are: A detailed study of Pontrjagin’s dualtiy theorem. A thorough presentation of the cohomology of profinite groups. A introduction to simple algebras. An extensive discussion of the various ray class groups, both in the divisor-theoretic and the idelic language. The presentation of local and global class field theory in the algebra-theoretic concept of H. Hasse. The study of holomorphy domains and their relevance for class field theory. Simple classical proofs of the functional equation for L functions both for number fields and function fields. A self-contained presentation of the theorems of representation theory needed for Artin L functions. Application of Artin L functions for arithmetical results.




Several Complex Variables


Book Description

Expository articles on Several Complex Variables and its interactions with PDEs, algebraic geometry, number theory, and differential geometry, first published in 2000.




Differential Calculus


Book Description

Original, rigorous, and lively, this text offers a concise approach to classical and contemporary topics in differential calculus. Based on courses conducted by the author at the Universit Pierre et Marie Curie, it encourages readers to pursue the subject in greater depth. The calculus is presented in a Banach space setting, covering: - Vector fields - One-parameter groups of diffeomorphisms - The Morse-Palais lemma - Differentiable submanifolds The treatment also examines applications to differential equations and the calculus of variables. For upper-level undergraduates and graduate students of analysis.
