The congruences of a lattice form the congruence lattice. In the past half-century, the study of congruence lattices has become a large and important field with a great number of interesting and deep results and many open problems. This self-contained exposition by one of the leading experts in lattice theory, George GrC$tzer, presents the major results on congruence lattices of finite lattices featuring the author’s signature Proof-by-Picture method and its conversion to transparencies. Key features: * Includes the latest findings from a pioneering researcher in the field * Insightful discussion of techniques to construct nice finite lattices with given congruence lattices and nice congruence-preserving extensions * Contains complete proofs, an extensive bibliography and index, and nearly 80 open problems * Additional information provided by the author online at: http: //www.maths.umanitoba.ca/homepages/gratzer.html/ The book is appropriate for a one-semester graduate course in lattice theory, yet is also designed as a practical reference for researchers studying lattices.
This series uses simple text and colorful photographs and illustrations to introduce students to key math readiness skills. Each book focuses on key areas of the kindergarten math curriculum – number recognition, lengths, greater than and less than, and adding and subtracting.
P style=MARGIN: 0pxBMarge Lial/Bwas always interested in math; it was her favorite subject in the first grade! Marge’s intense desire to educate both her students and herself has inspired the writing of numerous best-selling textbooks. Marge, who received Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from California State University at Sacramento, is now affiliated with American River College. Marge is an avid reader and traveler. Her travel experiences often find their way into her books as applications, exercise sets, and feature sets. She is particularly interested in archeology. Trips to various digs and ruin sites have produced some fascinating problems for her textbooks involving such topics as the building of Mayan pyramids and the acoustics of ancient ball courts in the Yucatan./PHRP style=MARGIN: 0pxWhenBJohn Hornsby/Benrolled as an undergraduate at Louisiana State University, he was uncertain whether he wanted to study mathematics education or journalism. His ultimate decision was to become a teacher, but after twenty-five years of teaching at the high school and university levels and ten years of writing mathematics textbooks, both of his goals have been realized. His love for teaching and for mathematics is evident in his passion for working with students and fellow teachers as well. His specific professional interests are recreational mathematics, mathematics history, and incorporating graphing calculators into the curriculum./PP style=MARGIN: 0pxJohn’s personal life is busy as he devotes time to his family (wife Gwen, and sons Chris, Jack, and Josh).
