covers authority of the private citizen, deprivation of rights, and
entrapment.
The collected works of Turing, including a substantial amount of unpublished material, will comprise four volumes: Mechanical Intelligence, Pure Mathematics, Morphogenesis and Mathematical Logic. Alan Mathison Turing (1912-1954) was a brilliant man who made major contributions in several areas of science. Today his name is mentioned frequently in philosophical discussions about the nature of Artificial Intelligence. Actually, he was a pioneer researcher in computer architecture and software engineering; his work in pure mathematics and mathematical logic extended considerably further and his last work, on morphogenesis in plants, is also acknowledged as being of the greatest originality and of permanent importance. He was one of the leading figures in Twentieth-century science, a fact which would have been known to the general public sooner but for the British Official Secrets Act, which prevented discussion of his wartime work. What is maybe surprising about these papers is that although they were written decades ago, they address major issues which concern researchers today.
No other book on natural rubber covers such a broad spectrum of subjects as this unique publication. Subjects related to the biology, cultivation and technology of natural rubber are dealt with, along with such important aspects as its history, production and processing, through to its sophisticated engineering applications. Every chapter follows a monograph style of presentation, with comprehensive citations and depth of treatment. Contributions from highly experienced, and still active, renowned scientists reflect the truly international effort to the development of this commodity. In addition to the wealth of information presented, most of the chapters contain elaborate lists of earlier contributions in the respective fields; one chapter each has been included on rubber wood, ancillary products and guayule.
The book features:
This book is aimed at two kinds of readers: firstly, people working in or near mathematics, who are curious about continued fractions; and secondly, senior or graduate students who would like an extensive introduction to the analytic theory of continued fractions. The book contains several recent results and new angles of approach and thus should be of interest to researchers throughout the field. The first five chapters contain an introduction to the basic theory, while the last seven chapters present a variety of applications. Finally, an appendix presents a large number of special continued fraction expansions. This very readable book also contains many valuable examples and problems.

Transformers and Motors is an in-depth technical reference which
was originally written for the National Joint Apprenticeship
Training Committee to train apprentice and journeymen electricians.
This book provides detailed information for equipment installation
and covers equipment maintenance and repair. The book also includes
troubleshooting and replacement guidelines, and it contains a
minimum of theory and math.
This book provides a series of concise lectures on the fundamental
theories of statistical mechanics, carefully chosen examples and a
number of problems with complete solutions.
A number of monographs of various aspects of complex analysis in
several variables have appeared since the first version of this
book was published, but none of them uses the analytic techniques
based on the solution of the Neumann Problem as the main tool.
These two volumes cover the principal approaches to constructivism in mathematics. They present a thorough, up-to-date introduction to the metamathematics of constructive mathematics, paying special attention to Intuitionism, Markov's constructivism and Martin-Lof's type theory with its operational semantics. A detailed exposition of the basic features of constructive mathematics, with illustrations from analysis, algebra and topology, is provided, with due attention to the metamathematical aspects. Volume 1 is a self-contained introduction to the practice and foundations of constructivism, and does not require specialized knowledge beyond basic mathematical logic. Volume 2 contains mainly advanced topics of a proof-theoretical and semantical nature.
This Handbook adopts a traditional definition of the subject, and
focuses primarily on the explanation of international transactions
in goods, services, and assets, and on the main domestic effects of
those transactions. The first volume deals with the "real side" of
international economics. It is concerned with the explanation of
trade and factor flows, with their main effects on goods and factor
prices, on the allocation of resources and income distribution and
on economic welfare, and also with the effects on national policies
designed explicitly to influence trade and factor flows. In other
words, it deals chiefly with microeconomic issues and methods. The
second volume deals with the "monetary side" of the subject. It is
concerned with the balance of payments adjustment process under
fixed exchange rates, with exchange rate determination under
flexible exchange rates, and with the domestic ramifications of
these phenomena. Accordingly, it deals mainly with macroeconomic
issues, although microeconomic methods are frequently utilized,
especially in work on expectations, asset markets, and exchange
rate behavior. For more information on the Handbooks in Economics

This is the revised and augmented edition of a now classic book
which is an introduction to sub-Markovian kernels on general
measurable spaces and their associated homogeneous Markov chains.
The first part, an expository text on the foundations of the
subject, is intended for post-graduate students. A study of
potential theory, the basic classification of chains according to
their asymptotic behaviour and the celebrated Chacon-Ornstein
theorem are examined in detail.
History of Functional Analysis presents functional analysis as a rather complex blend of algebra and topology, with its evolution influenced by the development of these two branches of mathematics. The book adopts a narrower definition-one that is assumed to satisfy various algebraic and topological conditions. A moment of reflections shows that this already covers a large part of modern analysis, in particular, the theory of partial differential equations. This volume comprises nine chapters, the first of which focuses on linear differential equations and the Sturm-Liouville problem. The succeeding chapters go on to discuss the ""crypto-integral"" equations, including the Dirichlet principle and the Beer-Neumann method; the equation of vibrating membranes, including the contributions of Poincare and H.A. Schwarz's 1885 paper; and the idea of infinite dimension. Other chapters cover the crucial years and the definition of Hilbert space, including Fredholm's discovery and the contributions of Hilbert; duality and the definition of normed spaces, including the Hahn-Banach theorem and the method of the gliding hump and Baire category; spectral theory after 1900, including the theories and works of F. Riesz, Hilbert, von Neumann, Weyl, and Carleman; locally convex spaces and the theory of distributions; and applications of functional analysis to differential and partial differential equations. This book will be of interest to practitioners in the fields of mathematics and statistics.
Theory and application of a variety of mathematical techniques in
economics are presented in this volume. Topics discussed include:
martingale methods, stochastic processes, optimal stopping, the
modeling of uncertainty using a Wiener process, Ito's Lemma as a
tool of stochastic calculus, and basic facts about stochastic
differential equations. The notion of stochastic ability and the
methods of stochastic control are discussed, and their use in
economic theory and finance is illustrated with numerous
applications. |
