The book is intended for students who want to learn how to prove
theorems and be better prepared for the rigors required in more
advance mathematics. One of the key components in this textbook is
the development of a methodology to lay bare the structure
underpinning the construction of a proof, much as diagramming a
sentence lays bare its grammatical structure. Diagramming a proof
is a way of presenting the relationships between the various parts
of a proof. A proof diagram provides a tool for showing students
how to write correct mathematical proofs.
The lack of effective DC fault protection technology remains a
major barrier for the DC paradigm shift. In addressing the key
challenges, Direct Current Fault Protection: Basic Concepts
and Technology Advances starts with an introduction to the
advantages of DC power systems before moving on to an in-depth
review of DC fault protection technologies, including mechanical
circuit breaker (MCB), solid-state circuit breaker (SSCB), hybrid
circuit breaker (HCB), converter based (breakerless) protection,
and fault current limiter (FCL). Coverage includes a comprehensive
comparison of various DC fault interruption technologies and their
suitable applications, state-of-the-art DC fault protection
concepts and advances in research, identification of fundamental
challenges and future directions in the field, and
commercialization aspects. This book will be a valuable reference
for practicing engineers, researchers, and graduate students in the
field of power electronics and DC power systems.
The Routledge Companion to John Wesley provides an overview of the
work and ideas of one of the principal founders of Methodism, John
Wesley (1703-91). Wesley remains highly influential, especially
within the worldwide Methodist movement of some eighty million
people. As a preacher and religious reformer his efforts led to the
rise of a global Protestant movement, but the wide-ranging topics
addressed in his writings also suggest a mind steeped in the
intellectual developments of the North Atlantic, early modern
world. His numerous publications cover not only theology but
ethics, history, aesthetics, politics, human rights, health and
wellbeing, cosmology and ecology. This volume places Wesley within
his eighteenth-century context, analyzes his contribution to
thought across his multiple interests, and assesses his continuing
relevance today. It contains essays by an international team of
scholars, drawn from within the Methodist tradition and beyond.
This is a valuable reference particularly for scholars of Methodist
Studies, theology, church history and religious history.
Typically, undergraduates see real analysis as one of the most
difficult courses that a mathematics major is required to take. The
main reason for this perception is twofold: Students must
comprehend new abstract concepts and learn to deal with these
concepts on a level of rigor and proof not previously encountered.
A key challenge for an instructor of real analysis is to find a way
to bridge the gap between a student's preparation and the
mathematical skills that are required to be successful in such a
course. Real Analysis: With Proof Strategies provides a resolution
to the "bridging-the-gap problem." The book not only presents the
fundamental theorems of real analysis, but also shows the reader
how to compose and produce the proofs of these theorems. The
detail, rigor, and proof strategies offered in this textbook will
be appreciated by all readers. Features Explicitly shows the reader
how to produce and compose the proofs of the basic theorems in real
analysis Suitable for junior or senior undergraduates majoring in
mathematics.
As computers proliferate and as the field of computer graphics
matures, it has become increasingly important for computer
scientists to understand how users perceive and interpret computer
graphics. Experimental Design: From User Studies to Psychophysics
is an accessible introduction to psychological experiments and
experimental design, covering the major components in the design,
execution, and analysis of perceptual studies. The book begins with
an introduction to the concepts central to designing and
understanding experiments, including developing a research
question, setting conditions and controls, and balancing
specificity with generality. The book then explores in detail a
number of types of experimental tasks: free description, rating
scales, forced-choice, specialized multiple choice, and real-world
tasks as well as physiological studies. It discusses the advantages
and disadvantages of each type and provides examples of that type
of experiment from the authors' own work. The book also covers
stimulus-related issues, including popular stimulus resources. It
concludes with a thorough examination of statistical techniques for
analyzing results, including methods specific to individual tasks.
Perceptible inspiration, a term used by John Wesley to describe the
complicated relationship between Holy Spirit, religious knowledge,
and the nature of spiritual being, is not unlike the term
'Methodist' which was also coined by critics of Methodism during
the eighteenth century in Britain. John Wesley's adversaries,
especially the pseudonymous John Smith with whom Wesley exchanged
letters for a period of three years, frequently challenged the
plausibility of direct spiritual sensation, which Wesley defended.
What does Wesley mean by perceptible inspiration? What does the
teaching reveal about the nature and existence of God in Wesley's
thinking? What does it suggest about the spiritual nature of
humankind? In John Wesley's Pneumatology, it is argued that
'perceptible inspiration' more than a sidebar of Methodist thought,
offers a useful model for considering the various features of
Wesley's views on the work of the Spirit in relation to human
existence, participatory religious knowledge, and moral theology.

Set theory is a rich and beautiful subject whose fundamental
concepts permeate virtually every branch of mathematics. One could
say that set theory is a unifying theory for mathematics, since
nearly all mathematical concepts and results can be formalized
within set theory. This textbook is meant for an upper
undergraduate course in set theory. In this text, the fundamentals
of abstract sets, including relations, functions, the natural
numbers, order, cardinality, transfinite recursion, the axiom of
choice, ordinal numbers, and cardinal numbers, are developed within
the framework of axiomatic set theory. The reader will need to be
comfortable reading and writing mathematical proofs. The proofs in
this textbook are rigorous, clear, and complete, while remaining
accessible to undergraduates who are new to upper-level
mathematics. Exercises are included at the end of each section in a
chapter, with useful suggestions for the more challenging
exercises.
