Auction Theory: Introductory Exercises with Answer Keys (Springer Texts in Business and Economics)
by Felix Munoz-Garcia Pak-Sing ChoiThis textbook provides a short introduction to auction theory through exercises with detailed answer keys. Focusing on practical examples, this textbook offers over 80 exercises that predict bidders’ equilibrium behaviour in different auction formats, along with the seller’s strategic incentives to organize one auction format over the other. The book emphasizes game-theoretic tools, so students can apply similar tools to other auction formats. Also included are several exercises based on published articles, with the model reduced to its main elements and the question divided into several easy-to-answer parts. Little mathematical background in algebra and calculus is assumed, and most algebraic steps and simplifications are provided, making the text ideal for upper undergraduate and graduate students.The book begins with a discussion of second-price auctions, which can be studied without using calculus, and works through progressively more complicated auction scenarios: first-price auctions, all-pay auctions, third-price auctions, the Revenue Equivalence principle, common-value auctions, multi-unit auctions, and procurement auctions. Exercises in each chapter are ranked according to their difficulty, with a letter (A-C) next to the exercise title, which allows students to pace their studies accordingly. The authors also offer a list of suggested exercises for each chapter, for instructors teaching at varying levels: undergraduate, Masters, Ph.D.Providing a practical, customizable approach to auction theory, this textbook is appropriate for students of economics, finance, and business administration. This book may also be used for related classes such as game theory, market design, economics of information, contract theory, or topics in microeconomics.
Audio Technology, Music, and Media: From Sound Wave to Reproduction
by Julian AshbournThis book provides a true A to Z of recorded sound, from its inception to the present day, outlining how technologies, techniques, and social attitudes have changed things, noting what is good and what is less good. The author starts by discussing the physics of sound generation and propagation. He then moves on to outline the history of recorded sound and early techniques and technologies, such as the rise of multi-channel tape recorders and their impact on recorded sound. He goes on to debate live sound versus recorded sound and why there is a difference, particularly with classical music. Other topics covered are the sound of real instruments and how that sound is produced and how to record it; microphone techniques and true stereo sound; digital workstations, sampling, and digital media; and music reproduction in the home and how it has changed. The author wraps up the book by discussing where we should be headed for both popular and classical music recording and reproduction, the role of the Audio Engineer in the 21st century, and a brief look at technology today and where it is headed. This book is ideal for anyone interested in recorded sound. “[Julian Ashbourn] strives for perfection and reaches it through his recordings… His deep knowledge of both technology and music is extensive and it is with great pleasure that I see he is passing this on for the benefit of others. I have no doubt that this book will be highly valued by many in the music industry, as it will be by me.” -- Claudio Di Meo, Composer, Pianist and Principal Conductor of The Kensington Philharmonic Orchestra, The Hemel Symphony Orchestra and The Lumina Choir

Audit Analytics: Data Science for the Accounting Profession (Use R!)
by J. Christopher WestlandToday, information technology plays a pivotal role in financial control and audit: most financial data is now digitally recorded and dispersed among servers, clouds and networks over which the audited firm has no control. Additionally, a firm’s data—particularly in the case of finance, software, insurance and biotech firms— comprises most of the audited value of the firm. Financial audits are critical mechanisms for ensuring the integrity of information systems and the reporting of organizational finances. They help avoid the abuses that led to passage of legislation such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (1977), and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002). Audit effectiveness has declined over the past two decades as auditor skillsets have failed to keep up with advances in information technology. Information and communication technology lie at the core of commerce today and are integrated in business processes around the world. This book is designed to meet the increasing need of audit professionals to understand information technology and the controls required to manage it. The material included focuses on the requirements for annual Securities and Exchange Commission audits (10-K) for listed corporations. These represent the benchmark auditing procedures for specialized audits, such as internal, governmental, and attestation audits.Using R and RStudio, the book demonstrates how to render an audit opinion that is legally and statistically defensible; analyze, extract, and manipulate accounting data; build a risk assessment matrix to inform the conduct of a cost-effective audit program; and more.

Auf dem Weg zu Netto-Null-Zielen: Nutzung von Data Science für Langzeit-Nachhaltigkeitswege
by Neha Sharma Prithwis Kumar DeDieses Buch diskutiert die Verwendung von Technologie, Data Science und Open Data, um das Netto-Null-Emissionsziel des Pariser Abkommens zum Klimawandel zu erreichen. Es gibt viele Diskussionen über Nachhaltigkeit und Lösungen für den Klimawandel, um die negativen Auswirkungen zu mildern. Die Verwendung von Technologiehebeln zur Bewältigung von Klimaherausforderungen wird jedoch selten als der bedeutendste Katalysator betrachtet. Die verfügbare Forschung in diesem Bereich ist im Allgemeinen qualitativer Natur, bei der Technologie und Daten noch nicht genutzt wurden. Durch den Einsatz von KI/ML sagt das Buch die Klimawandelfolgen aufgrund von Investitionen in den fossilen Brennstoffsektor voraus, schätzt die CO2-Emissionen des Verkehrssektors, prognostiziert die durch nicht erneuerbare Energiequellen verursachte durchschnittliche Landtemperatur und segmentiert indische Bundesstaaten auf der Grundlage von Haushalts-CO2-Emissionen. Die Forscher, Entscheidungsträger, Studenten, Lehrer, Bildungseinrichtungen, Regierungen, Regulierungsbehörden, Unternehmen, internationale Organisationen usw. werden immens von diesem Buch profitieren. Darüber hinaus soll dieses Buch dazu dienen, den nächsten Generationen eine dekarbonisierte Umgebung und eine bessere Zukunft zu bieten.
Auf dem Weg zum neuen Mathematiklehren und -lernen 2.0: Festschrift für Prof. Dr. Bernd Wollring
by Regina Möller Katja Eilerts Tobias HuhmannDie vorliegende Schrift widmen wir unserem langjährigen und geschätzten Kollegen Bernd Wollring anlässlich seines 70. Geburtstages. Wir sehen diesen Geburtstag als willkommenen Anlass, sein Lebenswerk umfassend zu würdigen. Seinem persönlichen Wunsch folgend steht im Fokus des Festkolloquiums die Zukunft des Mathematikunterrichts und damit eng verbunden der Lehreraus- und -fortbildung. Ein glücklicher Umstand ist die Tatsache, dass dieser Fokus mit dem 100-jährigen Bestehen der Grundschule zusammenfällt. Der Festband wurde mit großer Freude und viel Elan zusammengestellt und folgt seinem Wunsch, zum Kolloquium einen Blick in die Zukunft zu wagen. Rückwärts gewandt lässt sich ohne Mühe und sofort feststellen, welche große Spuren Bernd Wollring in den letzten Jahrzehnten in der Mathematikdidaktik hinterlassen hat. Deshalb beginnt der Band einleitend mit einem kurzen Rückblick auf sein wissenschaftliches Werk und mit einer Würdigung. Die weiteren Kapitel stehen im Zeichen von Lehren und Lernen im Mathematikunterricht und Inhaltsbereichen der Mathematikdidaktik, wobei einzelne Felder, die auch Bernd Wollring bearbeitet hat, berücksichtigt sind.

Augmented and Virtual Reality in Mathematics Education: International Symposium on Augmented and Virtual Reality 2022 (MINTUS – Beiträge zur mathematisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Bildung)
by Frederik Dilling Ingo WitzkeAugmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) are technologies of increasing importance in our society. In the field of mathematics education, these innovative technologies may offer a wide range of opportunities to support immersive, individual, and active learning processes. At the same time, many new challenges arise that need to be mastered by teachers and students in the classroom. With this book we want to contribute to the discourse by presenting innovative insights by bringing parties from research and practice together. The papers cover a wide range of relevant topics including cooperation and communication, STEM and modelling, development and application of design criteria, spatial geometry and imagination or teacher-trainings. The contributions include in-depth theoretical considerations, concrete developed applications and learning environments, and findings from empirical studies.
Augmented Marked Graphs
by King Sing CheungPetri nets are a formal and theoretically rich model for the modelling and analysis of systems. A subclass of Petri nets, augmented marked graphs possess a structure that is especially desirable for the modelling and analysis of systems with concurrent processes and shared resources. This monograph consists of three parts: Part I provides the conceptual background for readers who have no prior knowledge on Petri nets; Part II elaborates the theory of augmented marked graphs; finally, Part III discusses the application to system integration. The book is suitable as a first self-contained volume on augmented marked graphs, and will be useful to both researchers and practitioners in the fields of Petri nets and system integration.
The Augmented Spherical Wave Method
by Volker EyertThe Augmented Spherical Wave (ASW) method is one of the most powerful approaches to handle the requirements of finite basis sets in DFT calculations. It is particularly suited for the calculation of the electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of solid-state materials. Recent developments allow application, in addition, to the elastic properties and phonon spectra. Due to the localized nature of the ASW basis set these properties can be easily interpreted in terms of atomic-like orbitals. The book addresses all those who want to learn about methods for electronic structure calculations and the ASW method in particular. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and extended. In particular, a chapter on the new, both very efficient and accurate spherical-wave based full potential ASW method has been added.
Ausgewählte Kapitel der Höheren Mathematik: Vektoranalysis, Spezielle Funktionen, Partielle Differentialgleichungen
by Walter StramppAnimationen im Internet veranschaulichen z. B. die Wellengleichung durch eine schwingende Membran, die Wärmeleitung durch eine abnehmende Temperaturverteilung und die Potentialgleichung durch ein von der Randbelegung aufgeprägtes Potenzial.

Ausgewählte Themen des Malliavin-Kalküls: Chaos, Divergenz und noch viel mehr
by Laurent DecreusefondDieses Buch ist keine Forschungsmonographie zum Malliavin-Kalkül mit neuesten Ergebnissen und besonders anspruchsvollen Beweisen. Es enthält nicht alle Ergebnisse, die für die behandelten grundlegenden Themen bekannt sind. Das Ziel ist vielmehr, eine möglichst große Vielfalt an Beweistechniken zu bieten. Zum Beispiel haben wir uns nicht auf den Beweis der Konzentrationsungleichung für Funktionale der Brownschen Bewegung konzentriert, da er sich eng an das analoge Ergebnis für Poisson-Funktionale anlehnt. Dieses Buch ist aus den Graduiertenkursen entstanden, die ich in den letzten Jahren an den Universitäten Paris-Sorbonne und Paris-Saclay gehalten habe. Es soll so zugänglich wie möglich für Studierende sein, die über Kenntnisse der Itô-Kalkulation und einige Grundlagen der Funktionalanalysis verfügen.Die Übersetzung wurde mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz durchgeführt. Eine anschließende menschliche Überarbeitung erfolgte vor allem in Bezug auf den Inhalt.
Austenitic TRIP/TWIP Steels and Steel-Zirconia Composites: Design of Tough, Transformation-Strengthened Composites and Structures (Springer Series in Materials Science #298)
by Horst Biermann Christos G. AnezirisThis open access book presents a collection of the most up-to-date research results in the field of steel development with a focus on pioneering alloy concepts that result in previously unattainable materials properties.
