Ingenious Mathematical Problems and Methods
by Louis A. GrahamFor two decades, an international readership of workers in applied mathematics submitted their favorite puzzles to a mid-twentieth-century column, The Graham Dial. This original collection features 100 of the publication's very best problems, with themes ranging from logic and engineering situations to number theory and geometry. Each problem was specifically selected for its widely differing modes of solution, and most include several methods of solution plus assessments of their efficacy.In checking their solutions against the book's, readers may find that their interest in the puzzles increases. The search for an answer can develop into a challenge to improve upon existing solutions, as in a friendly competition among dozens of keen-witted, problem-solving engineers and mathematical puzzle fans. More than two dozen "mathematical nursery rhymes" appear throughout the book, which concludes with a final section of 25 "quickies" that will test readers' speed.

Inhomogeneous Random Evolutions and Their Applications
by Anatoliy SwishchukInhomogeneous Random Evolutions and Their Applications explains how to model various dynamical systems in finance and insurance with non-homogeneous in time characteristics. It includes modeling for: financial underlying and derivatives via Levy processes with time-dependent characteristics; limit order books in the algorithmic and HFT with counting price changes processes having time-dependent intensities; risk processes which count number of claims with time-dependent conditional intensities; multi-asset price impact from distressed selling; regime-switching Levy-driven diffusion-based price dynamics. Initial models for those systems are very complicated, which is why the author’s approach helps to simplified their study. The book uses a very general approach for modeling of those systems via abstract inhomogeneous random evolutions in Banach spaces. To simplify their investigation, it applies the first averaging principle (long-run stability property or law of large numbers [LLN]) to get deterministic function on the long run. To eliminate the rate of convergence in the LLN, it uses secondly the functional central limit theorem (FCLT) such that the associated cumulative process, centered around that deterministic function and suitably scaled in time, may be approximated by an orthogonal martingale measure, in general; and by standard Brownian motion, in particular, if the scale parameter increases. Thus, this approach allows the author to easily link, for example, microscopic activities with macroscopic ones in HFT, connecting the parameters driving the HFT with the daily volatilities. This method also helps to easily calculate ruin and ultimate ruin probabilities for the risk process. All results in the book are new and original, and can be easily implemented in practice.
Initial Boundary Value Problems in Mathematical Physics (Dover Books on Mathematics)
by Rolf LeisAn introduction to both classical scattering theory and to the time-dependent theory of linear equations in mathematical physics, this text is suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of physics and applied mathematics. Topics include proof of the existence of wave operators, some special equations of mathematical physics -- including Maxwell equations, the linear equations of elasticity and thermoelasticity, and the plate equation -- exterior boundary value problems, radiation conditions, and limiting absorption principles. The self-contained treatment provides background for a complete understanding of all concepts, and an extensive reference list offers suggestions for further reading. Based on the author's lectures at the University of Bonn in 1983-84, this volume will prove useful to researchers as well as students.

Injective Modules and Injective Quotient Rings
by Carl FaithFirst published in 1982. These lectures are in two parts. Part I, entitled injective Modules Over Levitzki Rings, studies an injective module E and chain conditions on the set A^(E,R) of right ideals annihilated by subsets of E. Part II is on the subject of (F)PF, or (finitely) pseudo-Frobenius, rings [i.e., all (finitely generated) faithful modules generate the category mod-R of all R-modules]. (The PF rings had been introduced by Azumaya as a generalization of quasi-Frobenius rings, but FPF includes infinite products of Prufer domains, e.g., Z w .)
Inklusiver Mathematikunterricht aus Sicht von Lehrkräften: Eine empirische Untersuchung im Spannungsfeld zwischen Theorie und Praxis (Berliner Rekonstruktionen des Mathematikunterrichts)
by Nina Nike OssenkoppInklusiver Mathematikunterricht – ein Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Theorie und Praxis? Inklusion ist seit dem Inkrafttreten der UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention (UN-BRK) im März 2009 ein Anspruch, dem sich Lehrkräfte an deutschen Grundschulen stellen müssen. Dies bedeutet auch, dass die einzelnen Fachdidaktiken ein Umdenken vollziehen mussten. So wurden auch in der Mathematikdidaktik spezifische Konzepte erarbeitet, die es ermöglichen sollen, dass alle Kinder – mit oder ohne sonderpädagogischen Förderbedarf – am gemeinsamen Mathematikunterricht teilhaben können. In diesem Buch thematisiert Nina Ossenkopp die Frage, inwiefern sich ein inklusiver Mathematikunterricht auf der Basis des aktuellen Entwicklungsstands einer „inklusiven Mathematikdidaktik“ bereits realisieren lässt und welche Spannungen zwischen der Theorie und der Praxis bestehen. Um diese Frage beantworten zu können, wird im ersten Teil der Arbeit rekonstruiert, welche Leitideen, Methoden und Vorstellungen in der Mathematikdidaktik für einen inklusiven Mathematikunterricht existieren. Im zweiten Teil wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie sich ein inklusiver Mathematikunterricht aus Perspektive der Lehrkräfte auch tatsächlich gestalten lässt. Welche Herausforderungen und Chancen sehen sie im inklusiven Mathematikunterricht? Was bedeutet für sie der Versuch, unter den gegebenen Rahmenbedingungen den Mathematikunterricht inklusiv zu gestalten?
Inklusives Lehren und Lernen von Mathematik: Konzepte und Beispiele mit Fokus auf Grund- und Förderschule
by Bärbel Barzel Florian Schacht Andreas Büchter Christian Rütten Stephanie Weskamp-KleineDer Umgang mit einem vielfältigen Heterogenitätsspektrum stellt im Mathematikunterricht verschiedener Schulformen eine zentrale Anforderung dar. Im vorliegenden Sammelband, der anlässlich des 60. Geburtstages von Petra Scherer entstanden ist, wird diese Thematik fachdidaktisch aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven bearbeitet, indem Konzepte und Beispiele aus verschiedenen Projekten mit Fokus auf Grund- und Förderschule zur Realisierung von inklusivem Lehren und Lernen betrachtet werden. Einige Beiträge beleuchten die Entwicklung und Erforschung von Lernumgebungen, in denen die individuellen Voraussetzungen und Lernwege der Lernenden Berücksichtigung finden. Dabei können auch digitale Medien das gemeinsame Lernen unterstützen. Ein inklusionssensibler Mathematikunterricht setzt ein adäquates Diagnostizieren und Fördern durch die Lehrkräfte voraus, welche einer entsprechenden Professionalisierung bedürfen. Diese Aspekte werden in weiteren Beiträgen ebenso in der Verknüpfung von wissenschaftlicher und unterrichtspraktischer Perspektive auf die Entwicklung und Erforschung von Mathematikunterricht entfaltet.
The Inner Workings of Life
by Eberhard O. VoitLiving systems are dynamic and extremely complex and their behaviour is often hard to predict by studying their individual parts. Systems biology promises to reveal and analyse these highly connected, regulated and adaptable systems, using mathematical modelling and computational analysis. This new systems approach is already having a broad impact on biological research and has potentially far-reaching implications for our understanding of life. Written in an informal and non-technical style, this book provides an accessible introduction to systems biology. Self-contained vignettes each convey a key theme and are intended to enlighten, provoke and interest readers of different academic disciplines, but also to offer new insight to those working in the field. Using a minimum amount of jargon and no mathematics, Voit manages to convey complex ideas and give the reader a genuine sense of the excitement that systems biology brings with it, as well as the current challenges and opportunities.
Innovation and Financial Markets
by Christophe Dispas Georges Kayanakis Nicolas Servel Ludmila StriukovaCombining insights from academic research and practical examples, this book aims to better understand the link between financial markets and innovation management. First, we are back to the very definition of innovation and what it means for financial and non-financial companies. Then, we analyze if efficient innovation management by companies is recognized and valued by financial markets. Finally, we focus on innovation within the financial sector: does it really create value outside the financial sector itself. Are Financial innovations value … or risk creators?
Innovation Capability Maturity Model
by Patrick Corsi Erwan NeauWhilst innovation remains of course an approach, a process, and is still often even reduced to a set of results, it essentially reflects a way of thinking evolution. Time is up for varying the thinking methods according to capacities and learned and available competencies with a view to change. . . the thinking level. No domain and no sector is immune to this transformation in todays' world Having clarified our ideas through this book, we remain ever more convinced that the leveled maturity approach will lead to real advances in innovation over the 2020 years. Hence the competitive capacities of organizations must evolve. As we strive in our quest for new inspiration sources in business, let us reckon that all is bound to evolving. . . including the way to evolve. In that resides the very capacity to innovate.

Innovations for Shape Analysis
by Alfred Bruckstein Michael Breuß Petros MaragosThe concept of 'shape' is at the heart of image processing and computer vision, yet researchers still have some way to go to replicate the human brain's ability to extrapolate meaning from the most basic of outlines. This volume reflects the advances of the last decade, which have also opened up tough new challenges in image processing. Today's applications require flexible models as well as efficient, mathematically justified algorithms that allow data processing within an acceptable timeframe. Examining important topics in continuous-scale and discrete modeling, as well as in modern algorithms, the book is the product of a key seminar focused on innovations in the field. It is a thorough introduction to the latest technology, especially given the tutorial style of a number of chapters. It also succeeds in identifying promising avenues for future research. The topics covered include mathematical morphology, skeletonization, statistical shape modeling, continuous-scale shape models such as partial differential equations and the theory of discrete shape descriptors. Some authors highlight new areas of enquiry such as partite skeletons, multi-component shapes, deformable shape models, and the use of distance fields. Combining the latest theoretical analysis with cutting-edge applications, this book will attract both academics and engineers.
