Homogenization of Reticulated Structures
Materials science is an area of growing research as composite materials become widely used in such areas as civil engineering, electrotechnics, and the aerospace industry. This mathematically rigorous treatment of lattice-type structures will appeal to both applied mathematicians, as well as engineers looking for a solid mathematical foundation of the methodology.
African Doctorates in Mathematics
This volume presents a catalogue of over 2000 doctoral theses by Africans in all fields of mathematics, including applied mathematics, mathematics education and history of mathematics. The introduction contains information about distribution by country, institutions, period, and by gender, about mathematical density, and mobility of mathematicians. Several appendices are included (female doctorate holders, doctorates in mathematics education, doctorates awarded by African universities to non-Africans, doctoral theses by non-Africans about mathematics in Africa, activities of African mathematicians at the service of their communities). Paulus Gerdes compiled the information in his capacity of Chairman of the African Mathematical Union Commission for the History of Mathematics in Africa (AMUCHMA). The book contains a preface by Mohamed Hassan, President of the African Academy of Sciences (AAS) and Executive Director of the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS). (383 pp.)

Composite Media And Homogenization Theory: Proceedings Of The Second Workshop
A rigorous mathematical treatment of the properties of composite materials has been made possible by recent mathematical results in the fields of partial differential equations and the calculus of variations. The progress in the mathematical models for composite media has led to a deeper understanding of the overall behaviour of composite structures and to significant applications in physics and engineering, including a new approach to optimal design problems.Many new, relevant results are presented in this volume, which contains 16 invited papers from the Second Workshop on Composite Media and Homogenization Theory held at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, from September 20 to October 1, 1993. Topics include homogenization of problems singularly depending on small or large parameters, homogenization of nonlinear problems, optimal bounds for effective moduli, asymptotic analysis of problems in perforated domains, laminate structures in phase transitions, optimal design and relaxation. Mathematicians and engineers interested in mathematical models of composite materials will find this book to be an important reference.

Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Simulation in Continuum Mechanics
The first international symposium on mathematical foundations of the finite element method was held at the University of Maryland in 1973. During the last three decades there has been great progress in the theory and practice of solving partial differential equations, and research has extended in various directions. Full-scale nonlinear problems have come within the range of nu merical simulation. The importance of mathematical modeling and analysis in science and engineering is steadily increasing. In addition, new possibili ties of analysing the reliability of computations have appeared. Many other developments have occurred: these are only the most noteworthy. This book is the record of t...
