He studied mathematics at the University of Tokyo in the 1930s and after graduating went to Paris to study differential geometry with Elie Cartan. Dr. Yano returned to Tokyo in 1938 and joined the faculty of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, where he remained for the rest of his career. During that time he traveled widely to attend mathematical conferences and was a visiting scholar and professor at several universities in Europe and the United States. He wrote and co-authored many mathematical papers and several other books, including \u003ci\u003eGroups of Transformations in Generalized Spaces \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eDifferential Geometry on Complex and Almost Complex Spaces.\u003c\/i\u003e His \u003ci\u003eSelected Papers \u003c\/i\u003ewere published in book form by North-Holland in 1982.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 21, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769563218208,"sku":"9780486842097","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/b38ecc1571413c99a0a57a34c6fa41bd.webp?v=1780350866","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-theory-of-lie-derivatives-and-its-applications-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
