Rzeczy ważne, a czasem błahe
W dążeniu do wolności jest coś świętego. Ale kiedy znajdziemy się już w ustroju wolności, wkraczamy w obszar polityki, całkowicie świecki. Pogodny, choć zmęczony Tadeusz Mazowiecki, a tuż za nim Henryk Woźniakowski. To zdjęcie wykonane podczas pamiętnej kampanii prezydenckiej z 1990 roku nadal wisi nad biurkiem autora. Gdyby wówczas wygrali, być może Polska wyglądałaby dziś inaczej. Po tym doświadczeniu Woźniakowski wraca do Krakowa i – nie rezygnując z zaangażowania społecznego – na trwałe wiąże się z działalnością wydawniczą. Okazuje się, że jest mu to zdecydowanie bliższe niż agresywny niekiedy świat polityki. W rozmowie z Dominiką Kozłowską Henryk Woźniakowski, prezes jednego z największych polskich wydawnictw, opowiada o zawodzie wydawcy i swoim spojrzeniu na sprawy publiczne. Wspomina bliskich, którzy nauczyli go przywiązania do wolności, pokazuje, skąd biorą się współczesne polskie podziały, a jednocześnie nie stroni od anegdot. Znaleźć tu można ciekawe relacje ze spotkań z Jerzym Giedroyciem, Józefem Czapskim, Michelem Foucault czy Henrym Kissingerem. Powyższy opis pochodzi od wydawcy.
Essays on the Complexity of Continuous Problems
This book contains five essays on the complexity of continuous problems, written for a wider audience. The first four essays are based on talks presented in 2008 when Henryk Wozniakowski received an honorary doctoral degree from the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena. The focus is on the introduction and history of the complexity of continuous problems, as well as on recent progress concerning the complexity of high-dimensional numerical problems. The last essay provides a brief and informal introduction to the basic notions and concepts of information-based complexity addressed to a general readership.
Contemporary Computational Mathematics - A Celebration of the 80th Birthday of Ian Sloan
This book is a tribute to Professor Ian Hugh Sloan on the occasion of his 80th birthday. It consists of nearly 60 articles written by international leaders in a diverse range of areas in contemporary computational mathematics. These papers highlight the impact and many achievements of Professor Sloan in his distinguished academic career. The book also presents state of the art knowledge in many computational fields such as quasi-Monte Carlo and Monte Carlo methods for multivariate integration, multi-level methods, finite element methods, uncertainty quantification, spherical designs and integration on the sphere, approximation and interpolation of multivariate functions, oscillatory integral...

Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods 2012
This book represents the refereed proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods in Scientific Computing that was held at the University of New South Wales (Australia) in February 2012. These biennial conferences are major events for Monte Carlo and the premiere event for quasi-Monte Carlo research. The proceedings include articles based on invited lectures as well as carefully selected contributed papers on all theoretical aspects and applications of Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods. The reader will be provided with information on latest developments in these very active areas. The book is an excellent reference for theoreticians and practitioners interested in solving high-dimensional computational problems arising, in particular, in finance, statistics and computer graphics.
Resurgent Antisemitism
Dating back millennia, antisemitism has been called "the longest hatred." Thought to be vanquished after the horrors of the Holocaust, in recent decades it has once again become a disturbing presence in many parts of the world. Resurgent Antisemitism presents original research that elucidates the social, intellectual, and ideological roots of the "new" antisemitism and the place it has come to occupy in the public sphere. By exploring the sources, goals, and consequences of today's antisemitism and its relationship to the past, the book contributes to an understanding of this phenomenon that may help diminish its appeal and mitigate its more harmful effects.
