Ten amazing curves personally selected by one of today's most important math writers Curves for the Mathematically Curious is a thoughtfully curated collection of ten mathematical curves, selected by Julian Havil for their significance, mathematical interest, and beauty. Each chapter gives an account of the history and definition of one curve, providing a glimpse into the elegant and often surprising mathematics involved in its creation and evolution. In telling the ten stories, Havil introduces many mathematicians and other innovators, some whose fame has withstood the passing of years and others who have slipped into comparative obscurity. You will meet Pierre Bézier, who is known for his ubiquitous and eponymous curves, and Adolphe Quetelet, who trumpeted the ubiquity of the normal curve but whose name now hides behind the modern body mass index. These and other ingenious thinkers engaged with the challenges, incongruities, and insights to be found in these remarkable curves—and now you can share in this adventure. Curves for the Mathematically Curious is a rigorous and enriching mathematical experience for anyone interested in curves, and the book is designed so that readers who choose can follow the details with pencil and paper. Every curve has a story worth telling.

Sophia: What's a girl to do when she's been publicly humiliated and left brokenhearted? Well... if she's me, she quits her job and leaves the country! Six months of aimless travel around Europe has led me here; to a tiny country I never heard of before, and a job working for the hottest member of their royal family. I've been Prince Nicolas' primary assistant at the grand Aureiles Palace for six months already, and with only four more months left of this job assignment I'm preparing myself for the heartache of moving on again. Prince Nicolas has become the centre of my daily life, and my heart. I don't know why I keep falling for guys I can never possibly have, who attract women I could never possibly compete with. I sometimes feel like he is flirting with me, but I can't tell if I'm getting lost in fantasy again, or if this fantasy might be about to come true. Do I dare put my heart and my pride on the line again to find out? Nicolas: What's the point of being royalty if you never get to make your own life choices? My parents the King and Queen of Valisia want me to marry some airbrushed doll with a title and money. I on the other hand can't get my deliciously sweet and curvy assistant Sophia out of my mind, or out of my dreams. She has become invaluable to me in her job, but I want so much more than that.

The moduli space Mg of curves of fixed genus g – that is, the algebraic variety that parametrizes all curves of genus g – is one of the most intriguing objects of study in algebraic geometry these days. Its appeal results not only from its beautiful mathematical structure but also from recent developments in theoretical physics, in particular in conformal field theory.

The Passionate Prince is a verse-by-verse commentary on the Song of Solomon from a pastors perspective. It explains the Song as a description of the developing relationship between King Solomon and the Shulammite, a young Jewish maiden from the northern part of Israel. It tells of their pre-marriage romance, of their marriage, and of some of the challenges of their relationship following their wedding. It treats the book, in a literal way, as a continuous account of the relationship between Solomon and the Shulammite from pre-marriage days to post-marriage days. It assumes, by virtue of the Biblical title of the book (The song of songs which is Solomons) that Solomons relationship with the Shulammite was probably the most satisfying marriage which Solomon experienced among the many marriages which were a part of his life as the most wealthy of all of the kings of Israel.
