The Sentinel Method and Its Application to Environmental Pollution Problems
by Jean-Pierre KernévezMany environmental problems contain incomplete data in the initial or boundary conditions. How do we solve problems for which some of the initial and/or boundary conditions are unknown? Using a new technique, the sentinel method, this book answers these questions and others as they pertain to inverse problems in environmental pollution, such as pollution of underground and surface waters, thermal pollution, and air pollution.

The Sequential Quadratic Hamiltonian Method: Solving Optimal Control Problems (Chapman & Hall/CRC Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing Series)
by Alfio BorzìThe sequential quadratic hamiltonian (SQH) method is a novel numerical optimization procedure for solving optimal control problems governed by differential models. It is based on the characterisation of optimal controls in the framework of the Pontryagin maximum principle (PMP).The SQH method is a powerful computational methodology that is capable of development in many directions. The Sequential Quadratic Hamiltonian Method: Solving Optimal Control Problems discusses its analysis and use in solving nonsmooth ODE control problems, relaxed ODE control problems, stochastic control problems, mixed-integer control problems, PDE control problems, inverse PDE problems, differential Nash game problems, and problems related to residual neural networks. This book may serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students, and as an introduction for researchers in sciences and engineering who intend to further develop the SQH method or wish to use it as a numerical tool for solving challenging optimal control problems and for investigating the Pontryagin maximum principle on new optimisation problems. Features Provides insight into mathematical and computational issues concerning optimal control problems, while discussing many differential models of interest in different disciplines. Suitable for undergraduate and graduate students and as an introduction for researchers in sciences and engineering. Accompanied by codes which allow the reader to apply the SQH method to solve many different optimal control and optimisation problems.
The Seven Pillars of Statistical Wisdom
by Stephen M. StiglerWhat gives statistics its unity as a science? Stephen Stigler sets forth the seven foundational ideas of statistics--a scientific discipline related to but distinct from mathematics and computer science and one which often seems counterintuitive. His original account will fascinate the interested layperson and engage the professional statistician.
The Sexuality-Reproduction Nexus and the Three Demographic Transitions: An Integrative Framework (SpringerBriefs in Population Studies)
by Nikolai BotevThis monograph outlines an integrative framework that conceptualizes the role of relations of control in human reproduction and long-term population dynamics. It thereby draws on the demographic transition theory, sexuality studies, Foucault’s concept of bio-power and sexuality as key to social control, cognate concepts and theories, and on findings from demography, anthropology, archaeology and other disciplines. The framework is based on the premise that four demographic regimes can be identified over the course of human history. They are defined by the primary locus and modus of control over reproduction. The framework questions some of the basic postulates in population studies, including how demographic transitions are interpreted. As such this book contributes to the debate on the longer-term trends in population dynamics and the relations of power and control in human reproduction.
The Shape and Size of the Earth: A Historical Journey from Homer to Artificial Satellites
by Dino BoccalettiThis book describes in detail the various theories on the shape of the Earth from classical antiquity to the present day and examines how measurements of its form and dimensions have evolved throughout this period. The origins of the notion of the sphericity of the Earth are explained, dating back to Eratosthenes and beyond, and detailed attention is paid to the struggle to establish key discoveries as part of the cultural heritage of humanity. In this context, the roles played by the Catholic Church and the philosophers of the Middle Ages are scrutinized. Later contributions by such luminaries as Richer, Newton, Clairaut, Maupertuis, and Delambre are thoroughly reviewed, with exploration of the importance of mathematics in their geodetic enterprises. The culmination of progress in scientific research is the recognition that the reference figure is not a sphere but rather a geoid and that the earth’s shape is oblate. Today, satellite geodesy permits the solution of geodetic problems by means of precise measurements. Narrating this fascinating story from the very beginning not only casts light on our emerging understanding of the figure of the Earth but also offers profound insights into the broader evolution of human thought.

The Shape of Data: Geometry-Based Machine Learning and Data Analysis in R
by Colleen M. Farrelly Yaé Ulrich GabaThis advanced machine learning book highlights many algorithms from a geometric perspective and introduces tools in network science, metric geometry, and topological data analysis through practical application.Whether you&’re a mathematician, seasoned data scientist, or marketing professional, you&’ll find The Shape of Data to be the perfect introduction to the critical interplay between the geometry of data structures and machine learning.This book&’s extensive collection of case studies (drawn from medicine, education, sociology, linguistics, and more) and gentle explanations of the math behind dozens of algorithms provide a comprehensive yet accessible look at how geometry shapes the algorithms that drive data analysis.In addition to gaining a deeper understanding of how to implement geometry-based algorithms with code, you&’ll explore:Supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms and their application to network data analysisThe way distance metrics and dimensionality reduction impact machine learningHow to visualize, embed, and analyze survey and text data with topology-based algorithmsNew approaches to computational solutions, including distributed computing and quantum algorithms
The Shape of Inner Space: String Theory and the Geometry of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions
by Shing-Tung Yau Steve NadisString theory says we live in a ten-dimensional universe, but that only four are accessible to our everyday senses. According to theorists, the missing six are curled up in bizarre structures known as Calabi-Yau manifolds. In The Shape of Inner Space, Shing-Tung Yau, the man who mathematically proved that these manifolds exist, argues that not only is geometry fundamental to string theory, it is also fundamental to the very nature of our universe.Time and again, where Yau has gone, physics has followed. Now for the first time, readers will follow Yau's penetrating thinking on where we've been, and where mathematics will take us next. A fascinating exploration of a world we are only just beginning to grasp, The Shape of Inner Space will change the way we consider the universe on both its grandest and smallest scales.
The Shape of Space (Chapman & Hall/CRC Pure and Applied Mathematics #249)
by Jeffrey R. WeeksMaintaining the standard of excellence set by the previous edition, this textbook covers the basic geometry of two- and three-dimensional spaces Written by a master expositor, leading researcher in the field, and MacArthur Fellow, it includes experiments to determine the true shape of the universe and contains illustrated examples and engaging exercises that teach mind-expanding ideas in an intuitive and informal way. Bridging the gap from geometry to the latest work in observational cosmology, the book illustrates the connection between geometry and the behavior of the physical universe and explains how radiation remaining from the big bang may reveal the actual shape of the universe.
