Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In this book the classical Greek construction problems are explored in a didactical, enquiry based fashion using Interactive Geometry Software (IGS). The book traces the history of these problems, stating them in modern terminology. By focusing on constructions and the use of IGS the reader is confronted with the same problems that ancient mathematicians once faced. The reader can step into the footsteps of Euclid, Viète and Cusanus amongst others and then by experimenting and discovering geometric relationships far exceed their accomplishments. Exploring these problems with the neusis-method lets him discover a class of interesting curves.By experimenting he will gain a deeper understanding of how mathematics is created. More than 100 exercises guide him through methods which were developed to try and solve the problems. The exercises are at the level of undergraduate students and only require knowledge of elementary Euclidean geometry and pre-calculus algebra. It is especially well-suited for those students who are thinking of becoming a mathematics teacher and for mathematics teachers.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This two-part volume gathers extended conference abstracts corresponding to selected talks from the 'Biostatnet workshop on Biomedical (Big) Data' and from the 'DoReMi LD-RadStats: Workshop for statisticians interested in contributing to EU low dose radiation research', which were held at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM) in Barcelona from November 26th to 27th, 2015, and at the Institut de Salut Global ISGlobal (former CREAL) from October 26th to 28th, 2015, respectively. Most of the contributions are brief articles, presenting preliminary new results not yet published in regular research journals.The first part is devoted to the challenges of analyzing so called 'Biomedical Big Data', tremendous amounts of biomedical and health data that are generated every day due to the use of recent technological advances such as massive genomic sequencing, electronic health records or high-resolution medical imaging, among others. The analysis of this information poses significantchallenges for researchers in the fields of biostatistics, bioinformatics, and signal processing. Furthermore, other relevant challenges in biostatistical research, not necessarily involving big data, are also discussed. In turn, the second part is dedicated to low dose radiation research, where there is a need to fully understand and characterize potential sources of uncertainty before they can be reduced. Further, the book demonstrates why formal uncertainty analysis has the potential to provide a common platform for multidisciplinary research in this field. This book is intended for established researchers, as well as for PhD and postdoctoral students who want to learn more about the latest advances in these highly active areas of research.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book gives a thorough and entirely self-contained, in-depth introduction to a specificapproach to group theory, in a large sense of that word. Thefocus lieon the relationships which a group may have with other groups,via 'universal properties', a view on that group 'from the outside'.This method of categorical algebra, is actually not limited to the study of groupsalone, but applies equally well to other similar categories of algebraic objects.By introducingprotomodular categories and Mal'tsev categories, which form a larger class, thestructural properties of the category Gp of groups, showhow they emerge from four very basic observations about the algebraic litteral calculus andhow, studied for themselves at the conceptual categorical level, they lead to the main striking features of the category Gp of groups.Hardly any previous knowledge of category theory is assumed, and just a littleexperience with standard algebraic structures such as groups and monoids. Examples and exercises help understanding the basicdefinitions and results throughout the text.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This textbook provides a self-contained introduction to decidability of first-order theories and their combination. The technical material is presented in a systematic and universal way and illustrated with plenty of examples and a range of proposed exercises.After an overview of basic first-order logic concepts, the authors discuss some model-theoretic notions like embeddings, diagrams, and elementary substructures. The text then goes on to explore an applicable way to deduce logical consequences from a given theory and presents sufficient conditions for a theory to be decidable. The chapters that follow focus on quantifier elimination, decidability of the combination of first-order theories and the basics of computability theory.The inclusion of a chapter on Gentzen calculus, cut elimination, and Craig interpolation, as well as a chapter on combination of theories and preservation of decidability, help to set this volume apart from similar books in the field.Decidability of Logical Theories and their Combinationis ideal for graduate students of Mathematics and is equally suitable for Computer Science, Philosophy and Physics students who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the subject. The book is also directed to researchers that intend to get acquainted with first-order theories and their combination.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is a unique collection of challenging geometry problems and detailed solutions that will build students' confidence in mathematics. By proposing several methods to approach each problem and emphasizing geometry's connections with different fields of mathematics, Methods of Solving Complex Geometry Problems serves as a bridge to more advanced problem solving. Written by an accomplished female mathematician who struggled with geometry as a child, it does not intimidate, but instead fosters the reader's ability to solve math problems through the direct application of theorems. Containing over 160 complex problems with hints and detailed solutions, Methods of Solving Complex Geometry Problems can be used as a self-study guide for mathematics competitions and for improving problem-solving skills in courses on plane geometry or the history of mathematics. It contains important and sometimes overlooked topics on triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles such as the Menelaus-Ceva theorem, Simson's line, Heron's formula, and the theorems of the three altitudes and medians. It can also be used by professors as a resource to stimulate the abstract thinking required to transcend the tedious and routine, bringing forth the original thought of which their students are capable. Methods of Solving Complex Geometry Problems will interest high school and college students needing to prepare for exams and competitions, as well as anyone who enjoys an intellectual challenge and has a special love of geometry. It will also appeal to instructors of geometry, history of mathematics, and math education courses.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This fifteenth volume of the Poincare Seminar Series, Dirac Matter, describesthe surprising resurgence, as a low-energy effective theory of conducting electronsin many condensed matter systems, including graphene and topological insulators,of the famous equation originally invented by P.A.M. Dirac for relativistic quantummechanics. In five highly pedagogical articles, as befits their origin in lectures to abroad scientific audience, this book explains why Dirac matters.Highlights include the detailed 'Graphene and Relativistic Quantum Physics',written by the experimental pioneer, Philip Kim, and devoted to graphene, a formof carbon crystallized in a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice, from its discovery in2004-2005 by the future Nobel prize winners Kostya Novoselov and Andre Geim tothe so-called relativistic quantum Hall effect; the review entitled 'Dirac Fermions inCondensed Matter and Beyond', written by two prominent theoreticians, Mark Goerbig and Gilles Montambaux, who consider many other materials than graphene,collectively known as 'Dirac matter', and offer a thorough description of the mergingtransition of Dirac cones that occurs in the energy spectrum, in various experimentsinvolving stretching of the microscopic hexagonal lattice; the third contribution, entitled'Quantum Transport in Graphene: Impurity Scattering as a Probe of the DiracSpectrum', given by Hélène Bouchiat, a leading experimentalist in mesoscopicphysics, with Sophie Guéron and Chuan Li, shows how measuring electrical transport,in particular magneto-transport in real graphene devices - contaminated byimpurities and hence exhibiting a diffusive regime - allows one to deeply probe theDirac nature of electrons. The last two contributions focus on topological insulators;in the authoritative 'Experimental Signatures of Topological Insulators', LaurentLévy reviews recent experimental progress in the physics of mercury-telluride samplesunder strain, which demonstrates that the surface of a three-dimensional topologicalinsulator hosts a two-dimensional massless Dirac metal; the illuminating finalcontribution by David Carpentier, entitled 'Topology of Bands in Solids: FromInsulators to Dirac Matter', provides a geometric description of Bloch wave functionsin terms of Berry phases and parallel transport, and of their topological classificationin terms of invariants such as Chern numbers, and ends with a perspective onthree-dimensional semi-metals as described by the Weyl equation.This book will be of broad general interest to physicists, mathematicians, andhistorians of science.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume provides a detailed description of the seminal theoretical construction in 1964, independently by Robert Brout and Francois Englert, and by Peter W. Higgs, of a mechanism for short-range fundamental interactions, now called the Brout-Englert-Higgs (BEH) mechanism. It accounts for the non-zero mass of elementary particles and predicts the existence of a new particle - an elementary massive scalar boson. In addition to this the book describes the experimental discovery of this fundamental missing element in the Standard Model of particle physics. The H Boson, also called the Higgs Boson, was produced and detected in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of CERN near Geneva by two large experimental collaborations, ATLAS and CMS, which announced its discovery on the 4th of July 2012.This new volume of the Poincaré Seminar Series, The H Boson, corresponds to the nineteenth seminar, held on November 29, 2014, at Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris.
