Heaviside Mathematics is a tool for thought. A highly necessary tool in a world where both feedback and non- linearities abound. Similarly, all kinds of parts of mathematics serve as tools for other parts and for other sciences. Applying a simple rewriting rule to the quote on the right above one finds such statements as: 'One service topology has rendered mathematical physics .. .'; 'One service logic has rendered com- puter science .. .'; 'One service category theory has rendered mathematics .. .'. All arguably true. And all statements obtainable this way form part of the raison d' re of this series.

Editorial Reviews

A study of the interconnection between Sobolev spaces, geometric classes of mappings (quasiconformal and quasiisometric) and nonlinear capacity. Chapter 1 introduces the terminology and auxiliary results used. Chapter 2 deals with the foundations of the theory of classes of functions with generalized derivatives, and discusses in detail methods of constructing special integral representations of functions. Chapter 3 is concerned with the theory of nonlinear capacity. The remaining three chapters present original results. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
