Description
Reliability is an essential concept in mathematics, computing,
research, and all disciplines of engineering, and reliability as
a characteristic is,
in fact, a probability. Therefore, in this book, the author uses
the statistical approach to reliability modelling along with the
MINITAB software package to provide a comprehensive treatment of
modelling, from the basics through advanced modelling techniques.
The book begins by presenting a thorough grounding in the
elements of modelling the lifetime of a single, non-repairable
unit. Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, the author
includes a guide to all the fundamentals of probability theory,
defines the various measures associated with reliability, then
describes and discusses the more common lifetime models: the
exponential, Weibull, normal, lognormal and gamma distributions.
She concludes the groundwork by looking at ways of choosing and
fitting the most appropriate model to a given data set, paying
particular attention to two critical points: the effect of
censored data and estimating lifetimes in the tail of the
distribution. The focus then shifts to topics somewhat more
difficult:
Features
+ the difference in the analysis of lifetimes for repairable
versus non-repairable systems and whether repair truly
"renews" the system
+ methods for dealing with system with reliability characteristic
specified for more than one component or subsystem
+ the effect of different types of maintenance strategies
+ the analysis of life test data
The final chapter provides snapshot introductions to a range of
advanced models and presents two case studies that illustrate
various ideas from throughout the book.

D. Hilbert and W. Ackermann
Description
David Hilbert was particularly interested in the foundations of
mathematics. Among many other things, he is famous for his
attempt to
axiomatize mathematics. This now classic text is his treatment of
symbolic logic. It lays the groundwork for his later work with
Bernays.
This translation is based on the second German edition, and has
been modified according to the criticisms of Church and Quine. In
particular,
the authors' original formulation of G?del's completeness proof
for the predicate calculus has been updated.
In the first half of the twentieth century, an important debate
on the foundations of mathematics took place. Principles of
Mathematical
Logic represents one of Hilbert's important contributions to that
debate. Although symbolic logic has grown considerably in the
subsequent decades, this book remains a classic.

Description
This book develops the foundations of a general theory of twisted
endoscopy by discussing the following: the definition of
endoscopic groups,
the study of the correspondance between twisted conjugacy classes
and conjugacy classes in endoscopic groups, the definition of
transfer factors, and finally the stabilization of the elliptic
part of the twisted trace formula. The book also develops a
theory of duality and Tamagawa numbers for the hypercohomology of
complexes $T \to U$ of tori.

A publication of Societe Mathematique de France.
Description
In this volume, the concept of a "crossed set" (a
generalization of crossed modules) is introduced; the author
studies Galois cohomology of these objects. This is the key to
the stabilization of all elliptic terms for the twisted trace
formula. Labesse then proves the existence of the stable transfer
for cyclic base change, and from a conditional stabilization of
the twisted trace formula, the existence of weak base change in
some cases is deduced, in particular for automorphic
representations on simply connected semi-simple groups which are
Steinberg at two places. In an appendix, Labesse and Clozel study
certain unitary groups. In a second appendix, L. Breen rephrases
crossed sets in the framework of simplicial algebra. Text is in
French.

A publication of Societe Mathematique de France.
Description
Monomial representations of a nilpotent Lie group $G$ have been
studied successfully during the last few years by several people,
including Grlaud, Corwin and Greenleaf, Fujiwara and Lipsman.
They are constructed by induction, starting from a unitary
character of a $G$-subgroup.
Starting from a subalgebra $\frak{k}$ of the complexification
$\frak{g}^\Bbb {C}$ of the Lie algebra $\frak{g}$ of $G$, and
from a form $f$ or $\frak{g}^*$ such that $f([\frak{k},\frak{k}])
= \{0\}$, one can construct the associated holomorphically
induced representation. This gives another way to obtain unitary
representations for $G$, which generalizes the standard method.
This construction was used by Auslander and Kostant in 1971,
assuming that $\frak{k}$ is a so-called positive polarization.
Their goal was to study irreducible unitary representations of
general solvable groups. Since then, no attempts seems to have
been made to use this method to consider non-irreducible unitary
representations.
This work is a first attempt to fill in this gap. Benoist's study
of the monomial representation associated to the trivial
character of the fixed points subgroup for an involution of $G$,
which was carried out in 1985, showed it was a good starting
example for studying more general monomial representations. In
the same way, Magneron studies here the holomorphically induced
representation $(\rho, \Cal{H})$ associated to the trivial
functional on the fixed points for an involution of
$\frak{g}^\Bbb{C}$, giving some insight of what might happen in
more general instances. Text is in French.

In this text, the author proposes a general framework to apply
the standard methods from homotopy theory to the category of
smooth
schemes over a reasonable base scheme. It is shown that some
expected properties are satisfied, for example, concerning
algebraic
$K$-theory of those schemes. The text is in French.

Henniart, Universit? de Paris-Sud, Orsay, France
A publication of Societe Mathematique de France.
Description
In this work, the authors discuss the following problem: Let $F$
be a finite extension of the field of $p$-adic numbers. The
Langlands
Conjectures relate the representations of the absolute Galois
group of $F$ with the representations of general linear groups
over
$F$. These conjectures have recently been proved, via global
geometric methods, by Harris-Taylor and Henniart.
The approach given here uses no global or geometric methods. In
the crucial case where the dimension is a power of $p$, they
construct a correspondence exhibiting almostall of the desired
properties. This very explicit approach is based on the theory of
types of Bushnell-Kutzko
and their behavior under base change with respect to tame
extensions of $F$.

Bures-sur-Yvette, France
Description
During its first hundred years, Riemannian geometry enjoyed
steady, but undistinguished growth as a field of mathematics.
In the last fifty years of the twentieth century,however, it has
exploded with activity. Berger marks the start of this period
with Rauch's pioneering paper of 1951, which contains the first
real pinching theorem and an amazing leap in the depth of the
connection between
geometry and topology. Since then, the field has become so rich
that it is almost impossible for the uninitiated to find
their way through it. Textbooks on the subject invariably must
choose a particular approach, thus narrowing the path.
In this book, Berger provides a truly remarkable survey of the
main developments in Riemannian geometry in the second half of
the last fifty years.
One of the most powerful features of Riemannian manifolds is that
they have invariants of (at least) three different kinds. There
are the geometric invariants: topology, the metric, various
notions of curvature, and relationships among these. There are
analytic invariants:
eigenvalues of the Laplacian, wave equations, Schr?dinger
equations. There are the invariants that come from Hamiltonian
mechanics:
geodesic flow, ergodic properties, periodic geodesics. Finally,
there are important results relating different types
ofinvariants. To keep
the size of this survey manageable, Berger focuses on five areas
of Riemannian geometry: Curvature and topology; the construction
of and the classification of space forms; distinguished metrics,
especially Einstein metrics; eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of
the Laplacian;
the study of periodic geodesics and the geodesic flow. Other
topics are treated in less detail in a separate section.
While Berger's survey is not intended for the complete beginner
(one should already be familiar with notions of curvature and
geodesics), he provides a detailed map to the major developments
of Riemannian geometry from 1950 to 1999. Important threads are
highlighted, with brief descriptions of the results that make up
that thread. This supremely scholarly account is remarkable for
its careful citations and voluminous bibliography. If you wish to
learn about the results that have defined Riemannian geometry in
the last half century, start with this book.
