Four-Dimensional Manifolds and Projective Structure may be
considered first as an introduction to differential geometry and,
in particular, to 4−dimensional manifolds, and secondly as an
introduction to the study of projective structure and projective
relatedness in manifolds. The initial chapters mainly cover the
elementary aspects of set theory, linear algebra, topology,
Euclidean geometry, manifold theory and differential geometry,
including the idea of a metric and a connection on a manifold and
the concept of curvature. After this, the author dives deeper into
4-dimensional manifolds and, in particular, the positive definite
case for the metric. The book also covers Lorentz signature and
neutral signature in detail and introduces, and makes use of, the
holonomy group of such a manifold for connections associated with
metrics of each of these three possible signatures. A brief
interlude on some key aspects of geometrical symmetry precedes a
detailed description of projective relatedness, that is, the
relationship between two symmetric connections (and between their
associated metrics) which give rise to the same geodesic paths.
Features: Offers a detailed, straightforward discussion of the
basic properties of (4-dimensional) manifolds. Introduces holonomy
theory, and makes use of it, in a novel manner. Suitable for
postgraduates and researchers, including master’s and PhD
students.
This volume is a product of the Interstratos project which brought
together research teams from across Europe to study the strategic
behaviour of small and medium-sized industrial firms, the
determinants of their behaviour, and the impact on performance. The
book uses information from annual surveys of companies in Europe
during the period spanning the formation of a single European
market. It addresses issues affecting small businesses such as
marketing, entrepreneurship, export strategies and the single
market, on an international basis. The book also contains detailed
case studies of individual countries including The Netherlands,
Finland, Switzerland and the UK.
Routledge Introductions to Applied Linguistics is a series of
introductory level textbooks covering the core topics in Applied
Linguistics, primarily designed for those entering postgraduate
studies and language professionals returning to academic study. The
books take an innovative 'practice to theory' approach, with a
'back-to-front' structure. This leads the reader from real-world
problems and issues, through a discussion of intervention and how
to engage with these concerns, before finally relating these
practical issues to theoretical foundations. Additional features
include tasks with commentaries, a glossary of key terms, and an
annotated further reading section. Exploring English Language
Teaching provides a single volume introduction to the field of ELT
from an applied linguistics perspective. The book addresses four
central themes within English language teaching: 'Classroom
interaction and management'; 'Method, Postmethod and methodology';
'Learners'; and the 'Institutional frameworks and social contexts'
of ELT. For each, the book identifies key dilemmas and practices,
examines how teachers and other language teaching professionals
might intervene and deal with these concerns, and explores how such
issues link to and inform applied linguistic theory. This second
edition has been extensively revised and updated to explore the
latest practical developments and theoretical insights in the field
of ELT. With new material, including expanded discussions of CLIL,
the role of new technologies in ELT, and the teaching of large
classes in difficult circumstances, and with an updated glossary
and suggestions for additional reading, this is an indispensable
textbook for language teachers and students studying in the areas
of Applied Linguistics, Language Teacher Education, and ELT/TESOL.
The Routledge Handbook of English Language Teaching is the
definitive reference volume for postgraduate and advanced
undergraduate students of Applied Linguistics, ELT/TESOL, and
Language Teacher Education, and for ELT professionals engaged in
in-service teacher development and/or undertaking academic study.
Progressing from 'broader' contextual issues to a 'narrower' focus
on classrooms and classroom discourse, the volume's interrelated
themes focus on: * ELT in the world: contexts and goals * planning
and organising ELT: curriculum, resources and settings * methods
and methodology: perspectives and practices * second language
learning and learners * teaching language: knowledge, skills and
pedagogy * understanding the language classroom. The Handbook's 39
chapters are written by leading figures in ELT from around the
world. Mindful of the diverse pedagogical, institutional and social
contexts for ELT, they convincingly present the key issues, areas
of debate and dispute, and likely future developments in ELT from
an applied linguistics perspective. Throughout the volume, readers
are encouraged to develop their own thinking and practice in
contextually appropriate ways, assisted by discussion questions and
suggestions for further reading that accompany every chapter.

This book presents examples of numeracy applications developed in a
wide range of courses in a Further Education college in Wales. The
numeracy case studies are not limited to simple arithmetic and
tasks involving shape and space, but include more advanced topics
such as: statistical analysis, mathematical modelling, calculus and
design of algorithms. A broad definition of numeracy is adopted by
the authors, in line with the range of numeracy skills expected and
valued by employers. In addition to a knowledge of mathematical
techniques, numeracy is considered to include: problem solving,
especially in the design of solutions to non-routine tasks;
communication of mathematical results in formats which are suitable
for the intended audience and facilitate decision making; an
ability to use computer technology to collect and process data; and
a familiarity with number which allows appropriate levels of
accuracy to be chosen, estimates made and errors detected.
The purpose of this book is to provide a simple introduction to
Java programming with the NetBeans Integrated Development
Environment. The book has been designed for students who are
undertaking the two year WJEC A-level course in Computer Science.
The objective is to produce simple example program applications
which illustrate a range of theoretical concepts, such as: abstract
data structures, object oriented programming, random access and
indexed sequential files, and batch processing by sequential
update. In this way, it is hoped the students will gain a practical
appreciation of the value of these computing techniques. By working
through the example programs in this book, students should gain an
understanding of basic interface construction, processing and file
handling operations in an object oriented Java environment, and a
number of important standard algorithms included in the A-level
course.
Lindsey Templeton is a young and beautiful diva with the opera
world at her feet. She has everything - a glittering career and a
wonderful family, to whom she is devoted. But into her life walks
opera-mad Russian billionaire Sergei Rebroff, who wants to buy his
way into overall control of a European opera company. And when she
falls pregnant, she doesn't know who the father is. Is it Sergei?
Or is it her husband, Jamie Barlow, casting director of London's
third opera company, Opera London? Set in the opera houses and
festivals of Europe during the closing months of Tony Blair's
premiership, My Wife the Diva is a comic romp through the glamorous
but often murky world of international opera. It is also
devastatingly honest about the anger and despair wrought on family
and friends by the frenetic lifestyle of a jet-setting artist. "A
Rabelaisian romp" (Jasper Rees Sunday Times) The author is opera
singer John Graham-Hall, whose recent appearances have included
Aschenbach in Britten's Death in Venice at ENO and La Scala, Milan.
Web Applications with C#.ASP is designed for students familiar with
C#.NET programming for stand-alone applications, and who wish to
develop skills in producing interactive web applications. By
working through the example programs, students will gain an
understanding of basic interface construction, processing and
database operations in an object oriented C#.NET environment. The
book includes: *Comparison of programming techniques for
stand-alone and web applications. *Creating interactive forms.
*Setting up a database table, accessing the database, and
displaying the data on a web page. *Creating a multi-page web site
with a menu system. *Storing images in a database. *Use of the
calendar component. *An object oriented approach. The final two
projects, Hardware store and Canal boat holidays, bring together
techniques developed in earlier chapters. Extensive use is made of
database operations to handle customer data with an emphasis on
object oriented methodology.
Programming with C#.NET is designed for students who have already
been introduced to programming and who are familiar with basic
program structures. By working through the example programs in this
book, students will gain an understanding of basic interface
construction, processing and database operations in an object
oriented Visual Studio 2013 C#.NET environment. Programs
demonstrate: the use of multiple forms and passing data values
between forms, creating interactive forms by adding screen
components at run-time, file handling operations for a multiple
table database including use of SQL queries, storing images in a
database table, and using an object oriented approach to
representing entities in a data model.
Richard Jones's production of Benjamin Britten's most popular opera
takes to the stage at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. John
Graham-Hall stars as the eponymous, impetuous fisherman in this
mysterious tale set in a small fishing village on England's east
coast in the 19th century. Robin Ticciati, principal conductor of
the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, takes the helm in his La Scala
opera debut.
