Overview: One aim of the physical sciences has been to give an exact picture of the material world. One achievement of physics in the twentieth century has been to prove that that aim is unattainable . . . . There is no absolute knowledge. And those who claim it, whether they are scientists or dogmatists, open the door to tragedy. All information is imperfect. We have to treat it with humility. Bronowski (1973) The Ascent of Man It seems particularly appropriate to us to begin this book with Jacob Bronowski‘s passionate message firmly in mind. Those who set out to construct numerical models, e

Overview: .Planning is the branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that seeks to automate reasoning about plans, most importantly the reasoning that goes into formulating a plan to achieve a given goal in a given situation. AI planning is model-based: a planning system takes as input a description (or model) of the initial situation, the actions available to change it, and the goal condition to output a plan composed of those actions that will accomplish the goal when executed from the initial situation...The Planning Domain Definition Language (PDDL) is a formal knowledge representation langua

Overview: Das vorliegende Buch stellt den dritten Teil eines Analysis-Kurses für Studenten der Mathe­ matik und Physik dar und umfaßt die Integralrechnung im IRn mit Anwendungen. Die mehrdimensionale Integration ist wahrscheinlich innerhalb der mathematischen Grund­ vorlesungen das unangenehmste Stoffgebiet. Das hat verschiedene Gründe. Einerseits bleibt die Integrationstheorie unbefriedigend, wenn nicht das Lebesguesche Integral eingeführt wird. Dessen Einführung verbraucht aber meist soviel Zeit, daß am Schluß der Vorlesung der Student nicht in der Lage ist, die Oberfläche einer Kugel auszur

Overview: In an ever-shrinking world, the need for a global perspective in dealing with the modern world has become acute. This book attempts to provide such a perspective by investigating the major changes in geopolitics and world economy during the past 500 years. However compact, it enables us to understand the present unravelling of Communism and the growing challenge from Asia to Western Superiority. It is shown that in so many ways the problems of the contemporary world spring from the unprecedented era of western domination, which the non-western world is now trying to unlive.978-0-333-
