Description

This volume collects contributions written by different�experts�in honor of Prof. Jaime Mu�oz Masqu�. It covers a wide variety of research topics, from differential geometry to algebra, but particularly focuses on the geometric formulation of variational calculus; geometric mechanics and field theories; symmetries and conservation laws of differential equations, and pseudo-Riemannian geometry of homogeneous spaces. It also discusses algebraic applications to cryptography and number theory. It offers state-of-the-art contributions in the context of current research trends. The final result is a challenging panoramic view of connecting problems that initially appear distant.Typham this is the title: Geometry, Algebra and Applications: From Mechanics to Cryptography
