Sociopolitical occurrences in recent years have, if anything,
brought to the fore the close relationship between developments in
the labour market and progress on the socio-econo-political
terrain. The ideological divides in South Africa are especially
apparent in the labour market, and these compound the basic
conflict between the objectives of protecting basic worker rights
on the one hand, and increasing economic growth on the other. The
South African labour market contains an abundance of information
about labour markets in general and the South African labour market
in particular. The South African labour market has a down-to-earth
and practical approach. It considers the evidence and identifies
some urgent discussion points about the sensitivity of employment
to economic growth. Three appendix chapters deal extensively with
the impact of globalisation on the labour market, how other
countries have managed the challenges of globalisation, and
consensus-seeking institutions such as Nedlac. Questions and study
suggestions are included at the end of each chapter. The South
African labour market is aimed at economics students as well as
general readers wanting an overview of the South African labour
market. The late Dr Frans Barker was a senior executive at the
Chamber of Mines. During his career, he was also vice-president of
the Economic Society of South Africa and president of the
Industrial Relations Association of South Africa. He served on
governing structures of Business Unity South Africa (BUSA), was a
commissioner for the Commission for Employment Equity and was also
involved in Nedlac in various roles. Dr Barker lectured at a number
of universities and was the author of several publications related
to labour issues. Derek Yu is an associate professor at the
Department of Economics at the University of the Western Cape. He
has a decade of teaching experience in undergraduate and
postgraduate Labour Economics, and has published comprehensively in
this area. He is also the author of the first edition of Basic
mathematics for economics students: theory and applications.
Pietman Roos has a decade's experience in different civil society
organisations including national government, news media and
organised business. He has worked on economic policy formulation,
commentary, negotiation and advocacy, and has lectured
undergraduate economics and jurisprudence.
Economic theories can be expressed in words, numbers, graphs and
symbols. The existing traditional economics textbooks cover all
four methods, but the general focus is often more on writing about
the theory and methods, with few practical examples. With an
increasing number of universities having introduced mathematical
economics at undergraduate level, Basic mathematics for economic
students aims to fill this gap in the field. Basic mathematics for
economic students begins with a comprehensive chapter on basic
mathematical concepts and methods (suitable for self-study,
revision or tutorial purposes) to ensure that students have the
necessary foundation. The book is written in an accessible style
and is extremely practical. Numerous mathematical economics
examples and exercises are provided as well as fully worked
solutions using numbers, graphs and symbols. Basic mathematics for
economic students is aimed at all economics students. It focuses on
quantitative aspects and especially complements the two highly
popular theoretical economics textbooks Understanding
microeconomics and Understanding macroeconomics, both written by
Philip Mohr and published by Van Schaik.
The fifth edition of Economic indicators covers all the recent
revisions of the GDP, the CPI, the PPI, the various labour market
surveys, the balance of payments and other economic indicators. All
the data that are used to illustrate and explain the various
indicators have been updated and, as always, a wealth of data on
the South African economy is provided.
Introduces the theory and practical application of dilating soil
and the load-holding capacity of deep foundations. Topics covered
include dilatancy as a fundamental property of granular media,
direct shear in conditions of constrained dilatancy, and
load-holding capacity of a single pile.
There has been rapid development in the area of adaptive
computation over the past decade. The International Conference on
Recent Advances in Adaptive Computation was held at Zhejiang
University (Hangzhou, China) to explore these new directions. The
conference brought together specialists to discuss modern theories
and practical applications of adaptive methods. This volume
contains articles reflecting the invited talks given by leading
mathematicians at the conference. It is suitable for graduate
students and researchers interested in methods of computation.
