This book presents four survey articles on various aspects of open quantum systems, specifically addressing quantum Markovian processes, Feller semigroups and nonequilibrium dynamics. The contributions are based on lectures given by distinguished experts at a summer school in Goettingen, Germany. Starting from basic notions, the authors of these lecture notes accompany the reader on a journey up to the latest research, highlighting new challenges and addressing unsolved problems at the interface between mathematics and physics. Though the book is primarily addressed to graduate students, it will also be of interest to researchers.

This book presents four survey articles on different topics in mathematical analysis that are closely linked to concepts and applications in physics. Specifically, it discusses global aspects of elliptic PDEs, Berezin-Toeplitz quantization, the stability of solitary waves, and sub-Riemannian geometry. The contributions are based on lectures given by distinguished experts at a summer school in Goettingen. The authors explain fundamental concepts and ideas and present them clearly. Starting from basic notions, these course notes take the reader to the point of current research, highlighting new challenges and addressing unsolved problems at the interface between mathematics and physics. All contributions are of interest to researchers in the respective fields, but they are also accessible to graduate students.

Computeralgebra- Systeme wie MAPLE gehoeren heute zum Alltag aller, die Mathematik in Schule, Wirtschaft und Hochschule anwenden. Gleichzeitig bieten sie die Moeglichkeit, in ganz anderer Weise Beispiele zu untersuchen und zu veranschaulichen, als dies mit Bleistift und Papier moeglich ist. Neben einer Einfuhrung in MAPLE hat dieses Buch zum Ziel, durch die Behandlung von Beispielen den Stoff des ersten Studienjahres, wie er in den Vorlesungen zur Analysis und Linearen Algebra behandelt wird, zu vertiefen und zu veranschaulichen. Es besteht aus Aufgaben mit Erlauterungen, anhand derer der Leser den Stoff eigenstandig durcharbeiten soll. Mathematische Anwendersysteme als berufsbildende Kompetenz in der Bachelor-Ausbildung: Das Buch eignet sich fur ein Modul aufbauend auf den Grundvorlesungen Analysis und Lineare Algebra. Materialien zu diesem Buch fur das E-Learning System OKUSON werden fur Dozenten unter OnlinePLUS bereitgestellt.
