Poncelet Porisms and Beyond

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. Dragovi and Radnovi 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)
