About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The book provides a self-guided introduction to a set of classical gems that have to do with elliptic or hyperelliptic addition theorems; several connections were worked out originally by the authors in previous research papers. In addition, solutions to some of the integrable systems that came of age in the 1970s … are produced in this context. The style is clear and the calculations are complete. … it is certainly a focused, enjoyable and valuable one.” (Emma Previato, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 j)
“Poncelet Porisms and Beyond: Integrable Billiards, Hyperelliptic Jacobians, and Pencils of Quadrics … gives a nice picture of both Poncelet’s Porism and a number of the areas of mathematics that are close by. … Dragović and Radnović do a good job of covering a wide range of material, including both citations and descriptions of classical material as well as extremely cutting-edge results. … The exposition in the book is generally good, and … any mathematician who picks up this book will learn something from it.” (Darren Glass, The Mathematical Association of America, September, 2011)
