Overview: Presents geometric constructions of the key abelian varieties: Jacobian, Albanese, Picard and Prym varieties.Introduces the Fourier–Mukai transform for sheaves and applies it to algebraic cycles and tThis textbook offers an introduction to abelian varieties, a rich topic of central importance to algebraic geometry. The emphasis is on geometric constructions over the complex numbers, notably the construction of important classes of abelian varieties and their algebraic cycles..The book begins with complex tori and their line bundles (theta functions), naturally leading to the definiti

Overview: The social model of disability emerged from the work of the Union of the Physically Impaired Against Segregation (UPIAS) who published The Fundamental Principles of Disability in 1976. Central to this were two themes: that it was the experience and expertise of disabled people that was crucial in developing a true understanding of the phenomenon of disability and that the main problems of disabled people were externally located in the disabling barriers and social restrictions that they faced. Building upon these themes and the rigid distinction between impair­ ment and disability th

Overview: This book reports on the new results in Abstract Systems Theory (AST). It shows the progress made so far in the effort launched in 1960 to develop a mathematical theory of systems based on the "top-down"-formalization-approach. The volume can be used as a supplementary reading in courses in systems theory and engineering. The material is organized in such a way that portions of the book relevant for the supplementary reading in different courses can be used independently from the rest of the text.978-3-540-50529-7978-3-540-46038-1Series ISSN 0170-8643 Series E-ISSN 1610-7411

Overview: First approach to use a method of fundamental solutions for a coupled system of PDEs of different types, in particular a vector-valued elliptic one and a scalar-valued one of Sobolev-evolution type.PrThis monograph focuses on the numerical methods needed in the context of developing a reliable simulation tool to promote the use of renewable energy. One very promising source of energy is the heat stored in the Earth’s crust, which is harnessed by so-called geothermal facilities. Scientists from fields like geology, geo-engineering, geophysics and especially geomathematics are called u

Overview: Presents a systematic methodology for program development by using design recipes.Details advanced recursion concepts, heuristic search, iteration, mutation, loops, program correctness, and vectors.Ev.This textbook presents a systematic methodology for program development by using design recipes, i.e. a series of steps, each with a specific outcome, that takes a problem solver from a problem statement to a working and tested programmed solution. It introduces the reader to generative recursion, heuristic searching, accumulative recursion, tail recursion, iteration, mutation, loops, p

Overview: Shows how to very quickly estimate solutions for complex problems Puts the focus on real world problems.Includes many examples of actual problems like the Space Shuttle and the Hubble Telescope.UsefulEngineers need to acquire “Back-of-the-Envelope” survival skills to obtain rough quantitative answers to real-world problems, particularly when working on projects with enormous complexity and very limited resources. In the case studies treated in this book, we show step-by-step examples of the physical arguments and the resulting calculations obtained using the quick-fire method. We als
