Scanned two of my books to the ResearchGate

The ResearchGate always complains that some publications are missing full texts, so I have tried to fill the missing slots. I spent three hours yesterday scanning a book of 290 pages and some time ago I scanned a monograph of some 40 pages. As I recently put a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis to my blog, I think I need to defend myself a bit. That I actually am not an Internet crackpot. Many people think that those who claim to have solved famous problems are all crackpots. To show that I am not one, I put here links to these two books at the ResearchGate. Both are quite scientific.

The first is a long book, so it downloads probably slowly

My part of this book is mostly based on my published and reviewed research that was reviewed for a docent degree (associate professor). This book first as an unpublised manuscript in 1997 and as this lecture notes in 1999 was included as one reference in my professor applications. Evaluators were two professors in both cases, and I was appointed a professor, so the book can be considered reviewed. It can very well be compared to a habilitation thesis. (There is no habilitation as a book in Finland, as in some countries.) The poor editing quality of these lecture notes is because I needed the book fast to a post-graduate course in 1998. We had a signed publishing agreement with an UK publisher, and why the final version of the book was never published other than as these lecture notes, was mainly my fault. I was not fully satisfied with the text and started making larger changes to it. Then my teaching load grew and I postponed the book project further and further, until finally I decided that the time for the book passed.

The second one is my Ph.D. dissertation

This is actually the only official version of the dissertation. Two days before the defense of the thesis I noticed a small error in one proof. It was easy to fix it and I immediately communicated the correction to the opponent. I did not cause anything, only two, three small changes in the text. For some reason the errata was not included to the printed manuscripts. It is a so small error that if you would notice it, you could correct it yourself. But this scanned version is the one where I had the error fixed, the one in the thesis defense occasion.
