ADE

Beschreibung

The ADE diagrams arise throughout mathematics, in algebra, geometry, mathematical physics and combinatorics. This book explains these multiple occurrences and develops the theory to understand them. Accessible to students, with exercises and examples throughout, this is an excellent introduction to this unifying principle of mathematics.
