Presents approximately 150 primary source documents, such as speeches, legislation, memoirs, newspaper articles, and interviews, related to social policy between the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries.
Tribute to the vision and legacy of Israel Moiseevich Gel'fand Written by leading mathematicians, these invited papers reflect the unity of mathematics as a whole, with particular emphasis on the many connections among the fields of geometry, physics, and representation theory Topics include conformal field theory, K-theory, noncommutative geometry, gauge theory, representations of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, and various aspects of the Langlands program
This is a stimulating and highly original collection of essays from a team of internationally renowned experts. The contributors reinterpret key issues and debates, including political, social, cultural and international aspects of the Russian revolution stretching from the late imperial period into the early Soviet state.
Introduction to Criminal Justice: A Brief Edition provides students with coverage of core concepts supported by student-tested pedagogical tools that promote student engagement, thought-provoking classroom discussions, and critical-thinking skills. Presenting the latest available research, statistics, and developments in a comprehensive yet concise format, this second edition walks students through scenarios that reflect high pressure, on-the-job circumstances, preparing them to meet such challenges in both the classroom and the real world. Throughout, the learning design emphasizes the critical-thinking and ethical decision-making skills required to work in the criminal justice system.
Contains new results on different aspects of Lie theory, including Lie superalgebras, quantum groups, crystal bases, representations of reductive groups in finite characteristic, and the geometric Langlands program
Shape optimization problems are treated from the classical and modern perspectives Targets a broad audience of graduate students in pure and applied mathematics, as well as engineers requiring a solid mathematical basis for the solution of practical problems Requires only a standard knowledge in the calculus of variations, differential equations, and functional analysis Driven by several good examples and illustrations Poses some open questions.
Central topics covered include curves, surfaces, geodesics, intrinsic geometry, and the Alexandrov global angle comparision theorem Many nontrivial and original problems (some with hints and solutions) Standard theoretical material is combined with more difficult theorems and complex problems, while maintaining a clear distinction between the two levels
