Geometry of Continued Fractions

By Oleg Karpenkov

Traditionally a subject matter of quantity idea, persisted fractions seem in dynamical structures, algebraic geometry, topology, or even celestial mechanics. the increase of computational geometry has led to renewed curiosity in multidimensional generalizations of endured fractions. a variety of classical theorems were prolonged to the multidimensional case, casting gentle on phenomena in various parts of arithmetic. This booklet introduces a brand new geometric imaginative and prescient of persisted fractions. It covers numerous purposes to questions comparable to such components as Diophantine approximation, algebraic quantity conception, and toric geometry.

 

The reader will locate an outline of present growth within the geometric conception of multidimensional persevered fractions observed through at present open difficulties. every time attainable, we illustrate geometric buildings with figures and examples. every one bankruptcy has routines valuable for undergraduate or graduate courses.

Mathematics: A Very Short Introduction

The purpose of this booklet is to provide an explanation for, rigorously yet now not technically, the variations among complicated, research-level arithmetic, and this kind of arithmetic we examine in school. the main basic changes are philosophical, and readers of this booklet will emerge with a clearer realizing of paradoxical-sounding thoughts equivalent to infinity, curved house, and imaginary numbers.
