Overview: Offers a new, easier-to-grasp approach on the Kolmogorov–Bernoulli equivalence.Uses a myriad of tools, like the Lyapunov exponent and Pesin’s theory, to present the KB equivalence in other frameworks..This book offers an introduction to a classical problem in ergodic theory and smooth dynamics, namely, the Kolmogorov–Bernoulli (non)equivalence problem, and presents recent results in this field. Starting with a crash course on ergodic theory, it uses the class of ergodic automorphisms of the two tori as a toy model to explain the main ideas and technicalities arising in the aforementi

Overview: Algebraic K-Theory plays an important role in many areas of modern mathematics: most notably algebraic topology, number theory, and algebraic geometry, but even including operator theory. The broad range of these topics has tended to give the subject an aura of inapproachability. This book, based on a course at the University of Maryland in the fall of 1990, is intended to enable graduate students or mathematicians working in other areas not only to learn the basics of algebraic K-Theory, but also to get a feel for its many applications. The required prerequisites are only the standa

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Many difficult scientific discovery tasks can only be solved in interactive ways, by combining intelligent computing techniques with intuitive and adaptive user interfaces. It is inevitable to use human intelligence in scientific discovery systems: human eyes can capture complex patterns and relationships, along with detecting the exceptional cases in a data set; the human brain can easily manipulate perceptions to make decisions...Ambient intelligence is about this kind of ubiquitous and autonomous human interaction with information. Scientific disc

Overview: Einordnung des deutschen Schuldrechts in den Kontext der europäischen Rechtsgeschichte und -wissenschaft.Derzeit kein weiteres "großes Lehrbuch" zum Allgemeinen Schuldrecht auf dem Markt.Includes suppDie Behauptung, das in Deutschland geltende Schuldrecht ergebe sich aus dem zweiten Buch des BGB, ist nicht nur in dem ganz oberflächlichen Sinn falsch, dass zivil- und insbesondere schuldrechtliche Sachverhalte auch in anderen Gesetzen geregelt und durch europäische Vorgaben geprägt sind. Unrichtig ist der auf den Text des BGB fokussierte Blick auch deshalb, weil Gesetze nicht ohne die
