Giovanni Battista Guccia: Pioneer of International Cooperation in Mathematics
by Benedetto Bongiorno Guillermo P. CurberaThis book examines the life and work of mathematician Giovanni Battista Guccia, founder of the Circolo Matematico di Palermo and its renowned journal, the Rendiconti del Circolo matematico di Palermo. The authors describe how Guccia, an Italian geometer, was able to establish a mathematical society in Sicily in the late nineteenth century, which by 1914 would grow to become the largest and most international in the world, with one of the most influential journals of the time. The book highlights the challenges faced by Guccia in creating an international society in isolated Palermo, and places Guccia’s activities in the wider European context through comparisons with the formation of the London Mathematical Society and the creation of Mittag-Leffler’s Acta Mathematica in Stockholm. Based on extensive searches in European archives, this scholarly work follows both historical and scientific treads, and will appeal to those interested in the history of mathematics and science in general.

Girmitiya Culture and Memory: Navigating Identity, Tradition, and Resilience across Continents
by Priyanka Chaudhary Neha SinghThis book explores the multifaceted dimensions of the Girmitya diaspora and post-memory. The intersections of dis/re-location and memory have always been a focus of scholarly interest and the volume envisages the roots of migration and culture, life stories, narratives, and personal anecdotes. It further accentuates Girmitiya struggles, politics of displacement, relationships with the homeland and host land, oral traditions, repercussions, and retention of the archival sites. The cross-examination of memories helps in building a framework to study the varied experiences of the Girmitiya community. In this volume, through a blend of historical and scholarly discourse, we embark on a journey to unearth the layers of meaning embedded within the Girmitya experience. The tales of Girmitya migration amplifies marginalized voices and illuminates the enduring resilience. By chronicling the experiences of the indentured migration, we pay homage to the pioneers, recognize the intricacy of their toils, and commemorate the continuing legacy.
GIS-Based Simulation and Analysis of Intra-Urban Commuting
by Yujie Hu Fahui WangCommuting, the daily link between residences and workplaces, sets up the complex interaction between the two most important land uses (residential and employment) in a city, and dictates the configuration of urban structure. In addition to prolonged time and stress for individual commuters on traffic, commuting comes with additional societal costs including elevated crash risks, worsening air quality, and louder traffic noise, etc. These issues are important to city planners, policy researchers, and decision makers. GIS-Based Simulation and Analysis of Intra-Urban Commuting, presents GIS-based simulation, optimization and statistical approaches to measure, map, analyze, and explain commuting patterns including commuting length and efficiency. Several GIS-automated easy-to-use tools will be available, along with sample data, for readers to download and apply to their own studies. This book recognizes that reporting errors from survey data and use of aggregated zonal data are two sources of bias in estimation of wasteful commuting, it studies the temporal trend of intraurban commuting pattern based on the most recent period newly-available 2006-2010, and it focuses on commuting, and especially wasteful commuting within US cities. It includes ready-to-download GIS-based simulation tools and sample data, and an explanation of optimization and statistical techniques of how to measure commuting, as well as presenting a methodology that can be applicable to other studies. This book is an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in geography, urban planning, public policy, transportation engineering, and other related disciplines.

Glatte Mannigfaltigkeiten
by Claudio GorodskiDieses prägnante und praxisorientierte Lehrbuch präsentiert die Grundlagen der Mathematik auf glatten Mannigfaltigkeiten. Glatte Mannigfaltigkeiten sind ein Schlüsselkonzept in der Mathematik und weit verbreitet: Sie treten auf als Riemannsche Mannigfaltigkeiten in der Differentialgeometrie; als Raum-Zeiten in der Allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie; als Phasenräume und Energieniveaus in der Mechanik; als Definitionsbereiche von gewöhnlichen Differentialgleichungen in dynamischen Systemen; als Lie-Gruppen in Algebra und Geometrie; und in vielen anderen Bereichen.Das Buch präsentiert zunächst die grundlegenden Begriffe und Sätze zu glatten Mannigfaltigkeiten und kulminiert mit dem Frobenius-Theorem, bevor es Tensoren auf Mannigfaltigkeiten behandelt (einschließlich einer Darstellung der äußeren Ableitung von Differentialformen).Es behandelt dann Lie-Gruppen und Lie-Algebren und geht kurz auf homogene Mannigfaltigkeiten ein.Integration auf Mannigfaltigkeiten, Erläuterungen des Stokes-Theorems und der de-Rham-Kohomologie sowie Grundlagen der Differentialtopologie vervollständigen dieses Werk. Es enthält auch Übungen im gesamten Text, um den Lesern zu helfen, die Theorie zu verstehen, sowie anspruchsvollere Probleme für diejenigen, die Herausforderungen mögen, am Ende jedes Kapitels. Konzipiert für einen einsemestrigen Kurs über differentielle Mannigfaltigkeiten und Lie-Gruppen, der von vielen Graduiertenprogrammen weltweit angeboten wird, ist es eine wertvolle Ressource für Studierende und Dozenten gleichermaßen.Die Übersetzung wurde mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz durchgeführt. Eine anschließende menschliche Überarbeitung erfolgte vor allem in Bezug auf den Inhalt.
Gleichungen und Ungleichungen: Klartext Für Nichtmathematiker (Essentials)
by Guido WalzDas Buch vermittelt in leicht verständlicher Sprache die Grundlagen des Lösens von Gleichungen und Ungleichungen. Eines der Hauptthemen ist das Lösen von quadratischen Gleichungen, unabhängig davon, ob sie bereits in Normalform vorliegen oder erst in diese gebracht werden müssen. Als Instrument hierfür behandelt der Autor die p-q-Formel und die Mitternachtsformel. Daneben geht es um lineare Gleichungen sowie ganz allgemein um die Frage, welche Manipulationen man an einer Gleichung vornehmen darf, ohne ihre Lösungen zu ändern. Weiterhin werden die wichtigsten Ungleichungen behandelt und Strategien zu ihrer Lösung aufgezeigt.Der Autor Dr. Guido Walz ist Professor für Angewandte Mathematik an der Wilhelm-Büchner-Hochschule Darmstadt und Dozent an der Dualen Hochschule Baden-Württemberg, Herausgeber des fünfbändigen „Lexikon der Mathematik“ sowie Autor zahlreicher Fachveröffentlichungen und Lehrbücher, z.B. „Mathematik für Fachhochschule und duales Studium“.
