Over the last decade, many local students have preferred to study
overseas. This has caused governments to announce the creation of
programs and developments in the higher education sector to upgrade
South-East Asia to a leading education hub. Moreover, many
governments declared that they would work on the insurance of
learning to increase the quality of the degrees and the teaching
itself. This has led many to question the results of these
declarations. Higher Education Challenges in South-East Asia
provides an overview of what has been happening over the last ten
years in higher education in South-East Asia. It also works to
solve the challenges in modern education such as the impacts of
digitalization, globalization, and Generation Y and Z learning
styles. Covering topics that include globalization, educational
technologies, and comparative teaching, this book impacts academic
institutions, policymakers, government officials, university and
college administrators and leaders, academicians, researchers, and
students.

The aim of this volume is to collect original contributions by the
best specialists from the area of proof theory, constructivity, and
computation and discuss recent trends and results in these areas.
Some emphasis will be put on ordinal analysis, reductive proof
theory, explicit mathematics and type-theoretic formalisms, and
abstract computations. The volume is dedicated to the 60th birthday
of Professor Gerhard Jager, who has been instrumental in shaping
and promoting logic in Switzerland for the last 25 years. It
comprises contributions from the symposium "Advances in Proof
Theory", which was held in Bern in December 2013. Proof theory came
into being in the twenties of the last century, when it was
inaugurated by David Hilbert in order to secure the foundations of
mathematics. It was substantially influenced by Goedel's famous
incompleteness theorems of 1930 and Gentzen's new consistency proof
for the axiom system of first order number theory in 1936. Today,
proof theory is a well-established branch of mathematical and
philosophical logic and one of the pillars of the foundations of
mathematics. Proof theory explores constructive and computational
aspects of mathematical reasoning; it is particularly suitable for
dealing with various questions in computer science.
Have you ever felt like there was a space between you and God? Or
that there was something more to your faith that you were just
missing out on? "Revive Your Life " helps guide you to building a
strong foundation and relationship with Jesus Christ. Lessons
learned in "Revive Your Life " are based solidly on the everlasting
Word of God. If you desire to strengthen your faith, then "Revive
Your Life " is for you
This book on proof theory centers around the legacy of Kurt Schutte
and its current impact on the subject. Schutte was the last
doctoral student of David Hilbert who was the first to see that
proofs can be viewed as structured mathematical objects amenable to
investigation by mathematical methods (metamathematics). Schutte
inaugurated the important paradigm shift from finite proofs to
infinite proofs and developed the mathematical tools for their
analysis. Infinitary proof theory flourished in his hands in the
1960s, culminating in the famous bound 0 for the limit of
predicative mathematics (a fame shared with Feferman). Later his
interests shifted to developing infinite proof calculi for
impredicative theories. Schutte had a keen interest in advancing
ordinal analysis to ever stronger theories and was still working on
some of the strongest systems in his eighties. The articles in this
volume from leading experts close to his research, show the
enduring influence of his work in modern proof theory. They range
from eye witness accounts of his scientific life to developments at
the current research frontier, including papers by Schutte himself
that have never been published before.
Targeted audience * Specialists in numerical computations,
especially in numerical optimiza tion, who are interested in
designing algorithms with automatie result ver ification, and who
would therefore be interested in knowing how general their
algorithms caIi in principle be. * Mathematicians and computer
scientists who are interested in the theory 0/ computing and
computational complexity, especially computational com plexity of
numerical computations. * Students in applied mathematics and
computer science who are interested in computational complexity of
different numerical methods and in learning general techniques for
estimating this computational complexity. The book is written with
all explanations and definitions added, so that it can be used as a
graduate level textbook. What this book .is about Data processing.
In many real-life situations, we are interested in the value of a
physical quantity y that is diflicult (or even impossible) to
measure directly. For example, it is impossible to directly measure
the amount of oil in an oil field or a distance to a star. Since we
cannot measure such quantities directly, we measure them
indirectly, by measuring some other quantities Xi and using the
known relation between y and Xi'S to reconstruct y. The algorithm
that transforms the results Xi of measuring Xi into an estimate fj
for y is called data processing.
In this two-volume compilation of articles, leading researchers
reevaluate the success of Hilbert's axiomatic method, which not
only laid the foundations for our understanding of modern
mathematics, but also found applications in physics, computer
science and elsewhere. The title takes its name from David
Hilbert's seminal talk Axiomatisches Denken, given at a meeting of
the Swiss Mathematical Society in Zurich in 1917. This marked the
beginning of Hilbert's return to his foundational studies, which
ultimately resulted in the establishment of proof theory as a new
branch in the emerging field of mathematical logic. Hilbert also
used the opportunity to bring Paul Bernays back to Goettingen as
his main collaborator in foundational studies in the years to come.
The contributions are addressed to mathematical and philosophical
logicians, but also to philosophers of science as well as
physicists and computer scientists with an interest in foundations.
This volume dedicated to William Q. Meeker on the occasion of
his sixtieth birthday is a collection of invited chapters covering
recent advances in accelerated life testing and degradation models.
The book covers a wide range of applications to areas such as
reliability, quality control, the health sciences, economics and
finance. Additional topics covered include accelerated testing and
inference, step-stress testing and inference, nonparametric
inference, model validity in accelerated testing, the point process
approach, bootstrap methods in degradation analysis, exact
inferential methods in reliability, dynamic perturbed systems, and
degradation models in statistics. Advances in Degradation Modeling
is an excellent reference for researchers and practitioners in
applied probability and statistics, industrial statistics, the
health sciences, quality control, economics, and finance.

Pedagogies of Post-Truth explores the national and international
political developments in what has been called a post-truth
society; specifically, in which conservative groups target media
outlets claiming fabrication of news and that the veracity of
evidence-based reporting should be questioned. Truth has been
reduced to the validation of opinions instead of the presentation
of scientific facts. This collection responds to these issues by
initiating a scholarly dialogue about teaching in the era of
post-truth in which research-based findings that do not align with
political viewpoints are judged, criticized, and often described as
"fake." Contributors evaluate the pedagogical challenges of
post-truth discourse and how post-truth messages negatively affect
instructors and students. By highlighting ways instructors and
students can resist the hegemony of post-truth, this book creates a
dialogue among scholars, illustrates the challenges, and offers
pedagogical techniques to discuss "post-truth," the role of the
educator, the role of media, and the role of other story-makers of
our society.
