Philip's Atlas of World History (Historical Atlas)

Philips, 2005

There could be no more opportune time than the start of the third millennium AD to produce an entirely new atlas of world history. Not only does this symbolic (if arbitrary) moment provoke a mood of public retrospection, but the pace of global change itself demands a greater awareness of "whole world" history. More than 20 years have...

Computer Algebra Recipes: An Introductory Guide to the Mathematical Models of Science

Springer, 2006

A computer algebra system (CAS) not only has the ability to "crunch numbers" and plot results, like traditional computing languages such as Fortran and C, but it can also perform the symbolic manipulations and analytic derivations required in most undergraduate and graduate science and engineering courses.

Albion and Jerusalem: The Anglo-Jewish Community in the Post-Emancipation Era (Oxford Historical Monographs)

Oxford University Press, 2009

Lionel de Rothschild's hard-fought entry into Parliament in 1858 marked the emancipation of Jews in Britain--the symbolic conclusion of Jews' campaign for equal rights and their inclusion as citizens after centuries of discrimination. Jewish life entered a new phase: the post-emancipation era. But what did this mean for the Jewish community and...

Informal Philosophy

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2009

From around the turn of the twentieth century, the founders of symbolic logic had a profound effect on subsequent philosophical practice.

Practical Risk Management

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

In early 1995 people were glued to their television sets watching the aftermath of a very large earthquake in the city of Kobe in western Japan. Little did they suspect the deep-seated implications of this event on the financial markets in general, and on the Bank of England in particular. The earthquake caused a major sell-off in the already...

Knots and Surfaces

Oxford University Press, 1994

The fascination exerted by interlaced patterns and knotted forms is evident in their use in decorative and symbolic art across the centuries. Knotwork is a distinguishing feature of Celtic art, and the intricate beauty of decorated stonework and illuminated manuscripts such as the Lindisfarne Gospels, the Book of Durrow, and the Book of Kells...

Optimal Control Systems (Electrical Engineering Series)

CRC Press, 2002

The theory of optimal control systems has grown and flourished since the 1960's. Many texts, written on varying levels of sophistication, have been published on the subject. Yet even those purportedly designed for beginners in the field are often riddled with complex theorems, and many treatments fail to include topics that are essential...
