Operator Algebras and Mathematical Physics
This volume gathers contributions from the International Workshop on Operator Theory and Its Applications (IWOTA) held in Bangalore, India, in December 2013. All articles were written by experts and cover a broad range of original material at the cutting edge of operator theory and its applications. Topics include multivariable operator theory, operator theory on indefinite metric spaces (Krein and Pontryagin spaces) and its applications, spectral theory with applications to differential operators, the geometry of Banach spaces, scattering and time varying linear systems, and wavelets and coherent states.
American Mathematics 1890-1913
At the turn of the twentieth century, mathematical scholarship in the United States underwent a stunning transformation. In 1890 no American professor was producing mathematical research worthy of international attention. Graduate students were then advised to pursue their studies abroad. By the start of World War I the standing of American mathematics had radically changed. George David Birkhoff, Leonard Dickson, and others were turning out cutting edge investigations that attracted notice in the intellectual centers of Europe. Harvard, Chicago, and Princeton maintained graduate programs comparable to those overseas. This book explores the people, timing, and factors behind this rapid advan...
Automatic Algorithm Selection for Complex Simulation Problems
To select the most suitable simulation algorithm for a given task is often difficult. This is due to intricate interactions between model features, implementation details, and runtime environment, which may strongly affect the overall performance. An automated selection of simulation algorithms supports users in setting up simulation experiments without demanding expert knowledge on simulation. Roland Ewald analyzes and discusses existing approaches to solve the algorithm selection problem in the context of simulation. He introduces a framework for automatic simulation algorithm selection and describes its integration into the open-source modelling and simulation framework James II. Its selection mechanisms are able to cope with three situations: no prior knowledge is available, the impact of problem features on simulator performance is unknown, and a relationship between problem features and algorithm performance can be established empirically. The author concludes with an experimental evaluation of the developed methods.
Medieval Sex Lives
Medieval Sex Lives examines courtly song as a complex cultural product and social force in the early fourteenth century, exploring how it illuminates the relationship between artistic production and the everyday lives of the elites for whom this music and poetry was composed and performed. In a focused analysis of the Oxford Bodelian Library's Douce 308 manuscript—a fourteenth-century compilation that includes over five hundred Old French lyrics composed over two centuries alongside a narrative account of elaborate courtly festivities centered on a week-long tournament—Elizabeth Eva Leach explores two distinct but related lines of inquiry: first, why the lyric tradition of "courtly love"...
A History of the Central Limit Theorem
This study discusses the history of the central limit theorem and related probabilistic limit theorems from about 1810 through 1950. In this context the book also describes the historical development of analytical probability theory and its tools, such as characteristic functions or moments. The central limit theorem was originally deduced by Laplace as a statement about approximations for the distributions of sums of independent random variables within the framework of classical probability, which focused upon specific problems and applications. Making this theorem an autonomous mathematical object was very important for the development of modern probability theory.
Series and Products in the Development of Mathematics
"Sources in the Development of Mathematics: Series and Products from the Fifteenth to the Twenty-first Century, my book of 2011, was intended for an audience of graduate students or beyond. However, since much of its mathematics lies at the foundations of the undergraduate mathematics curriculum, I decided to use portions of my book as the text for an advanced undergraduate course. I was very pleased to find that my curious and diligent students, of varied levels of mathematical talent, could understand a good bit of the material and get insight into mathematics they had already studied as well as topics with which they were unfamiliar. Of course, the students could profitably study such top...
Das Konfessionelle Zeitalter
Europa zwischen Renaissance und Frühaufklärung, Religion und Kirche, Glaube und Unglaube, Politik und materielle Kultur vom 15. bis 17. Jahrhundert - das ist Gegenstand der großen kirchengeschichtlichen und allgemeingeschichtlichen Monographie, deren erster Band einen Rezensenten an Fernand Braudels "La Méditerranée et le monde méditerranéen à l'époque de Philipp II" erinnerte, der meinte, in Kluetings Werk so etwas ähnliches für die Kirchengeschichte vor sich zu haben. Band 1 des Werkes erschien 2007 im Primus Verlag Darmstadt und als Lizenzausgabe bei der Wissenschaftlichen Buchgesellschaft Darmstadt. Band 2 im Lit Verlag erschließt die internationale Forschungsliteratur, die für dieses Werk, das sich über ganz Europa erstreckt und die außereuropäischen Missionsräume einbezieht, vor allem auf Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch, Italienisch und Spanisch vorliegt. Berücksichtigt wird aber u.a. auch Literatur in niederländischer, russischer, polnischer und portugiesischer Sprache.
