In this book, Hawkins elegantly places Lebesgue's early work on integration theory within in proper historical context by relating it to the developments during the nineteenth century that motivated it and gave it significance and also to the contributions made in this field by Lebesgue's contemporaries. Hawkins was awarded the 1997 MAA Chauvenet Prize and the 2001 AMS Albert Leon Whiteman Memorial Prize for notable exposition and exceptional scholarship in the history of mathematics.

The great Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie developed the general theory of transformations in the 1870s, and the first part of the book properly focuses on his work. In the second part the central figure is Wilhelm Killing, who developed structure and classification of semisimple Lie algebras. The third part focuses on the developments of the representation of Lie algebras, in particular the work of Elie Cartan. The book concludes with the work of Hermann Weyl and his contemporaries on the structure and representation of Lie groups which serves to bring together much of the earlier work into a coherent theory while at the same time opening up significant avenues for further work.

SEAL is an acronym for Sea, Air, and Land; the environments where U.S. Navy SEALs train and operate. This book explores the sea capabilities of our nation's foremost special operations commandos, and is the second of a three-volume trilogy published by Phoca Press. The first, Air Capabilities of the U.S. Navy SEALs, by Captain (SEAL) Norm Olson and Commander (SEAL) Tom Hawkins was published in December 2017 and is available at phocapress.com. The land capabilities narrative completes the trilogy. This book provides perspectives regarding: <ul> <li>Naval Special Mission Units</li> <li>Evolution of Combat Diving</li> <li>Combat Swimming and Diving</li> <li>World War II Maritime Mobility</li> <li>Surface Ship Support Capabilities</li> <li>Submarine Capabilities Development</li> <li>Korean War and Vietnam Operations</li> <li>Office of Strategic Services Maritime Unit</li> <li>Combatant Submersibles - SEAL Delivery Vehicles</li> <li>Advanced Technology Underwater Breathing Apparatus</li> </ul> This book explores the daring and innovative sea capabilities of our nation's foremost special operations commandos, and is the second of a three-volume trilogy. Author Tom Hawkins is a retired Navy SEAL officer who led the development of maritime capabilities in combat diving, and submarines and submersible operations.

Frobenius made many important contributions to mathematics in the latter part of the 19th century. Hawkins here focuses on his work in linear algebra and its relationship with the work of Burnside, Cartan, and Molien, and its extension by Schur and Brauer. He also discusses the Berlin school of mathematics and the guiding force of Weierstrass in that school, as well as the fundamental work of d'Alembert, Lagrange, and Laplace, and of Gauss, Eisenstein and Cayley that laid the groundwork for Frobenius's work in linear algebra. The book concludes with a discussion of Frobenius's contribution to the theory of stochastic matrices.
