The congruences of a lattice form the congruence lattice. Over the last several decades, the study of congruence lattices has established itself as a large and important field with a great number of interesting and deep results, as well as many open problems. Written by one of the leading experts in lattice theory, this text provides a self-contained introduction to congruences of finite lattices and presents the major results of the last 90 years. It features the author¿s signature ¿Proof-by-Picture¿ method, which is used to convey the ideas behind formal proofs in a visual, more intuitive manner. Key features include:an insightful discussion of techniques to construct "nice" finite lattices with given congruence lattices and "nice" congruence-preserving extensionscomplete proofs, an extensive bibliography and index, and over 180 illustrationsadditional chapters covering new results of the lastseven years, increasing the size of this edition to 430 pages, 360 statements, and 262 referencesThis text is appropriate for a one-semester graduate course in lattice theory, and it will also serve as a valuable reference for researchers studying lattices. Reviews of previous editions:¿[This] monograph¿is an exceptional work in lattice theory, like all the contributions by this author. The way this book is written makes it extremely interesting for the specialists in the field but also for the students in lattice theory. ¿ Cosmin Pelea, Studia Universitatis Babes-Bolyai Mathematica LII (1), 2007 "The book is self-contained, with many detailed proofs presented that can be followed step-by-step. I believe that this book is a much-needed tool for any mathematician wishing a gentle introduction to the field of congruences representations of finite lattices, with emphasis on the more 'geometric' aspects." ¿ Mathematical Reviews

For over two decades, this comprehensive manual has been the standard introduction and complete reference for writing articles and books containing mathematical formulas. If the reader requires a streamlined approach to learning LaTeX for composing everyday documents, Grätzer¿s © 2014 Practical LaTeX may also be a good choice.In this carefully revised fifth edition, the Short Course has been brought up to date and reflects a modern and practical approach to LaTeX usage. New chapters have been added on illustrations and how to use LaTeX on an iPad.Key features:An example-based, visual approach and a gentle introduction with the Short CourseA detailed exposition of multiline math formulas with a Visual GuideA unified approach to TeX, LaTeX, and the AMS enhancementsA quick introduction to creating presentations with formulasFrom earlier reviews:Grätzer¿s book is a solution. ¿European Mathematical Society NewsletterThere are several LaTeX guides, but this one wins hands down for the elegance of its approach and breadth of coverage.¿Amazon.com, Best of 2000, Editor¿s choiceA novice reader will be able to learn the most essential features of LaTeX sufficient to begin typesetting papers within a few hours of time¿ An experienced TeX user, on the other hand, will find a systematic and detailed discussion of LaTeX features.¿Report on Mathematical PhysicsA very helpful and useful tool for all scientists and engineers.   ¿Review of Astronomical Tools
