Purpose of the book is to give an overview of recent results and developments in hypercomplex analysis. The source of this overview will be given by the participants to the 7th ISAAC Conference. The topic covered will vary from the study of monogenic functions, its generalisations to higher spin such as the Rarita-Schwinger system, Clifford analysis on superspace, Clifford-Radon and Fourier transforms, discrete Clifford analysis (see the list of abstract). The list of speakers includes several first rate mathematicians and several young researchers working on several different aspects in quaternionic and Clifford analysis. Besides original research papers, we would call for very well written expository papers whose purpose would be a state-of-art of a specific topic in quaternion or Clifford analysis, possibly also containing interdisciplinary connections. The intended audience includes researchers in various areas of mathematical analysis in very wide meaning of the term.
1) Researchers in various areas of mathematical analysis in very wide meaning of the term: one and several complex variables; PDE; hypercomplex analysis; operator theory; theoretical and mathematical physics
2) Postgraduate students in those areas.

This is an introductory textbook on the geometrical theory of dynamical systems, fluid flows and certain integrable systems. The topics are interdisciplinary and extend from mathematics, mechanics and physics to mechanical engineering, and the approach is very fundamental. The main theme of this book is a unified formulation to understand dynamical evolutions of physical systems within mathematical ideas of Riemannian geometry and Lie groups by using well-known examples. Underlying mathematical concepts include transformation invariance, covariant derivative, geodesic equation and curvature tensors on the basis of differential geometry, theory of Lie groups and integrability. These mathematical theories are applied to physical systems such as free rotation of a top, surface wave of shallow water, action principle in mechanics, diffeomorphic flow of fluids, vortex motions and some integrable systems.
In the latest edition, a new formulation of fluid flows is also presented in a unified fashion on the basis of the gauge principle of theoretical physics and principle of least action along with new type of Lagrangians. A great deal of effort has been directed toward making the description elementary, clear and concise, to provide beginners easy access to the topics.

This book gives a modern differential geometric treatment of linearly nonholonomically constrained systems. It discusses in detail what is meant by symmetry of such a system and gives a general theory of how to reduce such a symmetry using the concept of a differential space and the almost Poisson bracket structure of its algebra of smooth functions. The above theory is applied to the concrete example of Caratheodory's sleigh and the convex rolling rigid body. The qualitative behavior of the motion of the rolling disk is treated exhaustively and in detail. In particular, it classifies all motions of the disk, including those where the disk falls flat and those where it nearly falls flat.
The geometric techniques described in this book for symmetry reduction have not appeared in any book before. Nor has the detailed description of the motion of the rolling disk. In this respect, the authors are trail-blazers in their respective fields.
