Geometric Integration Theory
82: Birkhäuser, 2008. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Text in English. 339 pp. Light rubbing on the covers. No markings.
This textbook introduces geometric measure theory through the notion of currents, Currents-continuous linear functionals on spaces
of differential forms-are a natural language in which to formulate various types of extremal problems arising in geometry, and can be
used to study generalized versions of the Plateau problem and related questions in geometric analysis Key features of Geometric Integration Theory:
Includes topics on the deformation theorem, the area and coarea formulas, the compactness theorem, the slicing theorem and applications to minimal surfaces
Applies techniques to complex geometry, partial
differential equations, harmonic analysis, differential geometry. and many other parts of mathematics
Provides considerable background material for the student
Motivating key ideas with examples and figures, Geometric Integration Theory is a comprehensive introduction ideal for use in the classroom as well as for selfstudy. The exposition demands minimal background is selfcontained and accessible, and thus is ideal for graduate students and researchers. Near Fine. Item #3451
