This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ever since the serendipitous discovery of planet Uranus in 1871, astronomers have been hunting for new worlds in the outer regions of our solar system. This exciting and ongoing quest culminated recently in the discovery of hundreds of ice dwarfs in the Kuiper belt, robbed Pluto from its 'planet' status, and led to a better understanding of the origin of the solar system.This timely book reads like a scientific 'who done it', going from the heights of discovery to the depths of disappointment in the hunt for 'Planet X'. Based on many personal interviews with astronomers, the well-known science writer Govert Schilling introduces the heroes in the race to be the first in finding another world, bigger than Pluto. 303 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ook vannacht liggen er weer een paar honderdduizend partners wakker. Sommigen zijn al voor de zekerheid in een andere kamer gaan slapen. Snurken is een serieus probleem: er zijn naar schatting een miljoen stevige snurkers in Nederland! Maar weinigen zien aanleiding om met het snurken naar de dokter te gaan. Belangrijkste reden: men denkt 'dat er toch niets aan te doen is.' En dat is niet waar! Iedere snurker zou zich bovendien moeten afvragen of hij geen apneu heeft: ademstilstand tijdens het slapen. Mensen met apneu lopen serieuze (gezondheids)risico's. Deze tweede editie van het boek Leven met snurken en apneu is onderdeel van de serie Leven met, waarin lichamelijke aandoeningen worden behandeld en waarbij ook aandacht wordt gegeven aan de psychosociale aspecten. 175 pp. Niederländisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Il libro nasce dall'idea di fornire una testimonianza della condizione occupazionale dei laureati in Scienza dei Materiali attraverso le dichiarazioni di ex-studenti. Complessivamente sono stati intervistati una quarantina di laureati provenienti da differenti aree geografiche italiane, con titoli accademici diversi e soprattutto con percorsi formativi ed esperienze professionali variegati. Ne è uscito un affresco interessante riguardo il profilo, le tendenze e la possibilità di accesso al mondo del lavoro. Il ventaglio dei percorsi umani, formativi e professionali è assolutamente ampio, mai ripetitivo, diversificato e affascinante, tanto quanto il mondo dei materiali, delle sue tecnologie e metodologie di studio e di ricerca. Ogni singola storia narra in che modo questa scienza stia sempre più rapidamente cambiando il mondo delle cose attorno a noi e come maggiormente lo cambierà in futuro. Il volume sostiene altresì l'irrinunciabile necessità di sostenere due tipi di orientamento; un orientamento allo studio, rivolto agli studenti e alle loro famiglie, per rispondere all'esigenza di informazione sul corso di laurea in Scienze dei Materiali mettendo in evidenza la varietà e l'interesse dei possibili percorsi professionali ed un orientamento all'assunzione, rivolto alle aziende, per ribattere alla richiesta di competenze e risorse umane portando gli imprenditori a conoscenza delle caratteristiche dello scienziato dei materiali. 214 pp. Italienisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The design and implementation of programming languages, from Fortran and Cobol to Caml and Java, has been one of the key developments in the management of ever more complex computerized systems. Introduction to the Theory of Programming Languages gives the reader the means to discover the tools to think, design, and implement these languages.It proposes a unified vision of the different formalisms that permit definition of a programming language: small steps operational semantics, big steps operational semantics, and denotational semantics, emphasising that all seek to define a relation between three objects: a program, an input value, and an output value. These formalisms are illustrated by presenting the semantics of some typical features of programming languages: functions, recursivity, assignments, records, objects, . showing that the study of programming languages does not consist of studying languages one after another, but is organized around the features that are present in these various languages. The study of these features leads to the development of evaluators, interpreters and compilers, and also type inference algorithms, for small languages. 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Based on the latest historical research, Worlds Out of Nothing is the first book to provide a course on the history of geometry in the 19th century. Topics covered in the first part of the book are projective geometry, especially the concept of duality, and non-Euclidean geometry. The book then moves on to the study of the singular points of algebraic curves (Plücker's equations) and their role in resolving a paradox in the theory of duality; to Riemann's work on differential geometry; and to Beltrami's role in successfully establishing non-Euclidean geometry as a rigorous mathematical subject. The final part of the book considers how projective geometry rose to prominence, and looks at Poincaré's ideas about non-Euclidean geometry and their physical and philosophical significance. Three chapters are devoted to writing and assessing work in the history of mathematics, with examples of sample questions in the subject, advice on how to write essays, and comments on what instructors should be looking for. 384 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book contains chapters of structured approach to problem solving in mathematical analysis on an intermediate level. It follows the ideas of G.Polya and others, distinguishing between exercises and problem solving in mathematics.Interrelated concepts are connected by hyperlinks, pointing toward easier or more difficult problems so as to show paths of mathematical reasoning. Basic definitions and theorems can also be found by hyperlinks from relevant places. Problems are open to alternative formulations, generalizations, simplifications, and verification of hypotheses by the reader; this is shown to be helpful in solving problems.The book presents how advanced mathematical software can aid all stages of mathematical reasoning while the mathematical content remains in foreground. The authors show how software can contribute to deeper understanding and to enlarging the scope of teaching for students and teachers of mathematics. 247 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -These notes were first used in an introductory course team taught by the authors at Appalachian State University to advanced undergraduates and beginning graduates. The text was written with four pedagogical goals in mind: offer a variety of topics in one course, get to the main themes and tools as efficiently as possible, show the relationships between the different topics, and include recent results to convince students that mathematics is a living discipline. This book covers a wide variety of topics in combinatorics and graph theory. It includes results and problems that cross subdisciplines, emphasizing relationships between different areas of mathematics. In addition, recent results appear in the text, illustrating the fact that mathematics is a living discipline.The second edition includes many new topics and features: New sections in graph theory on distance, Eulerian trails, and Hamiltonian paths. New material on partitions, multinomial coefficients, and the pigeonhole principle. Expanded coverage of Pólya Theory to include de Bruijn s method for counting arrangements when a second symmetry group acts on the set of allowed colors. Topics in combinatorial geometry, including Erdos and Szekeres development of Ramsey Theory in a problem about convex polygons determined by sets of points. Expanded coverage of stable marriage problems, and new sections on marriage problems for infinite sets, both countable and uncountable. Numerous new exercises throughout the book.About the First Edition:'. . . this is what a textbook should be! The book is comprehensive without being overwhelming, the proofs are elegant, clear and short, and the examples are well picked.' Ioana Mihaila, MAA Reviews 381 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In Cosmic Biology , Louis Irwin and Dirk Schulze-Makuch guide readers through the range of planetary habitats found in our Solar System and those likely to be found throughout the universe. Based on our current knowledge of chemistry, energy, and evolutionary tendencies, the authors envision a variety of possible life forms. These range from the familiar species found on Earth to increasingly exotic examples possible under the different conditions of other planets and their satellites.Discussions of the great variety of life forms that could evolve in these diverse environments have become particularly relevant in recent years with the discovery of around 300 exoplanets in orbit around other stars and the possibilities for the existence of life in these planetary systems. The book also posits a taxonomic classification of the various forms of life that might be found, including speculation on the relative abundance of different forms and the generic fate of living systems. The fate and future of life on Earth will also be considered. The closing passages address the Fermi Paradox, and conclude with philosophical reflections on the possible place of Homo sapiens in the potentially vast stream of life across the galaxies. 338 pp. Englisch.
