Sommario/riassunto

Creatively spent and politically irrelevant, the American horror film is a mere ghost of its former self-or so goes the old saw from fans and scholars alike. Taking on this undeserved reputation, the contributors to this collection provide a comprehensive look at a decade of cinematic production, covering a wide variety of material from the last ten years with a clear critical eye. Individual essays profile the work of up-and-coming director Alexandre Aja and reassess William Malone's muchmaligned Feardotcom in the light of the torture debate at the end of President George W. Bush's administra

Sommario/riassunto

The theory of elliptic functions and modular forms is rich and storied, though it has a reputation for difficulty. In this textbook, the authors successfully bridge foundational concepts and advanced material. Following Weierstrass’s approach to elliptic functions, they also cover elliptic curves and complex multiplication. The sections on modular forms, which can be read independently, include discussions of Hecke operators and Dirichlet series. Special emphasis is placed on theta series, with some advanced results included. With detailed proofs and numerous exercises, this book is well-suited for self-study or use as a reference. A companion website provides videos and a discussion forum on the topic.
