Overview: Covers the essential results of algebraic topology in a concise and pragmatic manner.Provides an introduction to manifolds, CW complexes, and homotopy theory.Explains applications of algebraic topolog.This rapid and concise presentation of the essential ideas and results of algebraic topology follows the axiomatic foundations pioneered by Eilenberg and Steenrod. The approach of the book is pragmatic: while most proofs are given, those that are particularly long or technical are omitted, and results are stated in a form that emphasizes practical use over maximal generality. Moreover,

Overview: Unusual strategy for an autobiography.This is the life story of the oldest living member of the famous Wertheimer family, beautifully narrated and richly illustrated from the author’s vast stock of memorabilia and his unfailing memory. It is a memoir, but at the same time a document of the exodus of German-speaking psychologists to the New World, which left the homeland scientifically shattered. This lovingly-written pictorial archive of 80 years of the history of modern psychology, shaped by the momentous events of WWII, belongs on the shelf of every psychologist, theoretical, exper

Overview: The IUTAM-Symposium on "Finite Inelastic Deformations - Theory and Applications" took place from August 19 to 23, 1991, at the University of Hannover, Germany, with 75 participants from 14 countries. Scope of the symposium was a fundamental treatment of new developments in plasticity and visco-plasticity at finite strains. This covered the phenomenological material theory based on continuum mechanics as well as the treatment of microstructural phenomena detected by precise experimental datas. In a restricted number, lectures on new experi­ mental facilities for measuring finite strai

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Networks of firms have been in the focus of management research for several years. Recently, special attention has been paid to so-called business webs. Business webs are networks of firms which provide complements to a common product architecture. In the past, research focused on management issues of such webs but neglected the important question of how they actually came into being. The present book explicitly examines the formation and early growth of business webs. The author illustrates the early growth phases with two in-depth cases of the form

Overview: Provides a unique historical introduction to astroparticle physics to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the cosmic ray discovery.Covers the roots and development of the exciting field of astroparticlThe scope of the book is to give an overview of the history of astroparticle physics, starting with the discovery of cosmic rays (Victor Hess, 1912) and its background (X-ray, radioactivity). .The book focusses on the ways in which physics changes in the course of this history. The following changes run parallel, overlap, and/or interact: .- Discovery of effects like X-rays, radioactivit

Overview: Die Versicherungsbilanzierung war lange Zeit von konservativen Bewertungsregeln für versicherungstechnische Verpflichtungen geprägt. Mit der zunehmenden Internationalisierung der Rechnungslegung wächst der Druck auf die Versicherungsunternehmen, informative und entscheidungsnützliche Konzernabschlüsse zu publizieren. Durch die Diskussion einer umfassenden Fair Value-Bilanzierung trägt das International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) dieser Entwicklung Rechnung. ..Werner Rockel untersucht den Wertmaßstab des Fair Value am Beispiel versicherungstechnischer Verpflichtungen, leitet ri

Overview: Aktualisierte Neuauflage mit ausführlicher Behandlung der mathematischen Grundlagen.Zahlreiche Abbildungen, Beispiele und Aufgaben.Kompakte und leicht verständliche Darstellung der Strömungsmechanik u.Bei der numerischen Behandlung partieller Differentialgleichungen treten oft überraschende Phänomene auf. Neben der zügigen Behandlung der klassischen Theorie, die bis an die aktuelle Forschung heranführt, wird deshalb viel Wert auf die Darstellung von Beispielen und Gegenbeispielen gelegt. Die Beispiele haben mit dazu beigetragen, dass das Buch jetzt zu den Standardwerken bei den Finit

Overview: Zu den großen Gestalten, die die Mathematik der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts geformt haben, gehört Karl Weierstraß. Ihm war ein langes Leben geschenkt (1815-1897), und er hat, obwohl erst spät in eine entsprechende Stelle gekommen, einen großen Kreis von Mathematikern unmittelbar beeinflußt. Heute ist keine Grundvorlesung zur Analysis denk­ bar, ohne daß sein Name in Verbindung mit fundamentalen Theorien genannt wird. Das rechtfertigt es, daß seiner zum 150. Geburtstag im Kreise von Fachgenossen gedacht wurde. Karl Weierstraß stammt aus Westfalen. Seine mathematische Ausbildun
