When this novel appeared in 1999, it became a publishing sensation in the author’s native Norway, sitting at the top of the best-seller list for over a year. The twenty-five-year-old unnamed narrator of Naive, Super quits college in search of a raison d’etre. He begins to write lists. He becomes obsessed by time and whether it actually matters. He befriends a small boy who lives next door. He yearns to get to the bottom of life and how best to live it. Set partly in New York, this deceptively simple, highly enigmatic, deeply odd, and hysterically funny debut sets out to answer life

From the Reviews: "...He (the author) uses the language and notation of ordinary informal mathematics to state the basic set-theoretic facts which a beginning student of advanced mathematics needs to know. ...Because of the informal method of presentation, the book is eminently suited for use as a textbook or for self-study. The reader should derive from this volume a maximum of understanding of the theorems of set theory and of their basic importance in the study of mathematics."

In this new textbook, acclaimed author John Stillwell presents a lucid introduction to Lie theory suitable for junior and senior level undergraduates. In order to achieve this, he focuses on the so-called "classical groups’’ that capture the symmetries of real, complex, and quaternion spaces. These symmetry groups may be represented by matrices, which allows them to be studied by elementary methods from calculus and linear algebra. This naive approach to Lie theory is originally due to von Neumann, and it is now possible to streamline it by using standard results of undergraduate

Artists with little or no formal training contributed significantly to our nation’s cultural patrimony. Some three hundred American naive paintings in the Gallery’s collection--many of which are here published for the first time--are discussed. Depictions of farmyards, prizefights, steam and sailing ships, portraits of children, and Edward Hicks’ allegory of the Peaceable Kingdom document the aspirations and sentiments of a growing nation.
