"Finsler Geometry: An Approach via Randers Spaces" exclusively deals with a special class of Finsler metrics – Randers metrics, which are defined as the sum of a Riemannian metric and a 1-form. Randers metrics derive from the research on General Relativity Theory and have been applied in many areas of the natural sciences. They can also be naturally deduced as the solution of the Zermelo navigation problem.

In this book, Paulo Guilherme Santos studies diagonalization in formal mathematics from logical aspects to everyday mathematics. He starts with a study of the diagonalization lemma and its relation to the strong diagonalization lemma. After that, Yablo’s paradox is examined, and a self-referential interpretation is given. From that, a general structure of diagonalization with paradoxes is presented. Finally, the author studies a general theory of diagonalization with the help of examples from mathematics.

This book combines computational intelligence and mathematics to solve theoretical and real-world problems. The real challenges of engineering and other applied sciences, e.g. economics and management, the social sciences, etc., and even everyday life, are increasingly raising complex problems – both in the usual sense, but also in the mathematical and theoretical computer science sense, which is referred to as intractability.

This volume contains ten papers that have been collected by the Canadian Society for History and Philosophy of Mathematics/Société canadienne d’histoire et de philosophie des mathématiques. It showcases rigorously-reviewed contemporary scholarship on an interesting variety of topics in the history and philosophy of mathematics from the seventeenth century to the modern era.

Andreas Singer charakterisiert die fahrdynamisch relevanten Lenkungseigenschaften eines modernen Kraftfahrzeugs mit elektrischer Hilfskraftunterstützung im On-Center Handling. Dazu wird ein einfaches, lineares Einspurmodell um ein nicht lineares Zwei-Massen-Lenkungsmodell zu einem Gesamtfahrzeugmodell erweitert, das die relevanten Eigenschaften der Lenkungs- und Fahrzeugdynamik im On-Center Handling beschreibt.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Algorithms and Discrete Applied Mathematics, CALDAM 2020, held in Hyderabad, India, in February 2020. The 38 papers presented together with 2 invited talks in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 102 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on graph algorithms, graph theory, combinatorial optimization, distributed algorithms, combinatorial algorithms, and computational complexity.

This book examines the implementation of, the spread of, and compliance with emerging global norms. Based on empirical country studies on the implementation of transparency norms defined by the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) – a multi-stakeholder process seeking to promote global standards for the transparent and accountable management of oil, gas and mineral resources –, it investigates the various factors and motivations affecting actors with regard to norm compliance.

Statistics of Financial Markets offers a vivid yet concise introduction to the growing field of statistical applications in finance. The reader will learn the basic methods to evaluate option contracts, to analyse financial time series, to select portfolios and manage risks making realistic assumptions of the market behaviour.

Although Riemann surfaces are a time-honoured field, this book is novel in its broad perspective that systematically explores the connection with other fields of mathematics. It can serve as an introduction to contemporary mathematics as a whole as it develops background material from algebraic topology, differential geometry, the calculus of variations, elliptic PDE, and algebraic geometry. It is unique among textbooks on Riemann surfaces in including an introduction to Teichmüller theory. For this new edition, the author has expanded and rewritten several sections to include additional material and to improve the presentation.

Das Buch zeigt in vielen Farbabbildungen die Histopathologie der häufigsten und relevanten inflammatorischen, genetischen und infektiösen Hauterkrankungen, Zysten und Hautneoplasien und bietet eine Einführung zu histopathologischen Techniken. Die histologischen Merkmale von über 100 Dermatosen und ihren Varianten werden jeweils auf einer Doppelseite mit Abbildungen und klar strukturierten Texten zu Klinik, Histologie und Differenzialdiagnose übersichtlich dargestellt.

RFID technology has been available for decades, but it is only recently that its application has become a core topic for computing. This book introduces the technologies and techniques of large-scale RFID-enabled mobile computing systems, set in the context of specific case studies.
