Trevor and his sister Farrah are in the fifth and fourth grades. How did they get a time machine? And why does everyone think they are the key to saving the galaxy? This book is a great gift for boys and girls to get them interested in science. It is also fun for adults who enjoy fantasy, science fiction, and high level discussions of some of the greatest ideas ever discovered.

This volume includes expanded versions of the lectures delivered in the Graduate Minicourse portion of the 2013 Park City Mathematics Institute session on Geometric Analysis. The papers give excellent high-level introductions, suitable for graduate students wishing to enter the field and experienced researchers alike, to a range of the most important areas of geometric analysis. These include: the general issue of geometric evolution, with more detailed lectures on Ricci flow and Kähler-Ricci flow, new progress on the analytic aspects of the Willmore equation as well as an introduction to the recent proof of the Willmore conjecture and new directions in min-max theory for geometric variational problems, the current state of the art regarding minimal surfaces in R3, the role of critical metrics in Riemannian geometry, and the modern perspective on the study of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues for Laplace–Beltrami operators.

This is dark humour at its best - a collection of hilarious and outrageous cartoons which will appeal to anyone in touch with their evil side.

Presents twenty-three selected survey articles on central topics of geometric analysis and general relativity, written by prominent experts in the fields. Topics of geometric analysis include the Yamabe problem, mean curvature flow, minimal surfaces, harmonic maps, collapsing of manifolds, and Kähler-Einstein metrics. General relativity topics include the positive mass theorem, the Penrose inequality, scalar curvature and Einstein's constraint equations, and the positive mass theorem for asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds.
