Ein kleines ostpreußisches Dorf nahe der litauischen Grenze: Hier spiegelte sich einmal die ganze Weltgeschichte wider und führte schließlich zu Flucht und Vertreibung aus der Heimat, zum Ausradieren des Ortes von der Landkarte. Jodeglienen, unter Hitler in Moosheim umbenannt, steht exemplarisch für zahllose Orte in Ostpreußen, aber auch in weiteren Teilen des ehemaligen deutschen Ostens, die es nun nicht mehr gibt oder die jetzt zu Russland, Polen und Litauen gehören. Dieses Buch möchte Jodeglienen/Moosheim dem Vergessen entreißen, indem es vom Leben der 25 Familien des Dorfes erzählt. Dazu tragen Berichte von Zeitzeugen und Nachkommen, alte Fotos, Dokumente und Briefe bei, die ebenfalls die Nachbardörfer, die Kreisstadt Pillkallen/Schloßberg und das Kirchdorf Willuhnen einbeziehen. Eine Fundgrube auch für Familienforscher! Die beiden Autorinnen, deren Vorfahren aus diesem Dorf stammen, nehmen den Leser dieser Chronik mit auf eine spannende Entdeckungsreise durch die Jahrhunderte bis hin zur nunmehr russischen Gegenwart im Kaliningrader Gebiet.
Wirkliche Strickmuster findet man in diesem Buch natürlich nicht. Es geht eher um Lebensmuster einzelner Menschen: selbst entworfen oder von Schablonen im jeweiligen Zeitgeist vorgegeben. In Geschichten, Erinnerungen, Gedichten und Träumen lässt die Autorin ein ganzes Jahrhundert lebendig werden. Teils ernst und nachdenklich, teils heiter und mit Humor "strickt" sie aus ihrem eigenen "Lebensgarn" und dem ihrer Vorfahren. Viele dieser Texte spiegeln anhand konkreter Schicksale ein Stück Zeitgeschichte der Stadt Freiberg und der umgebenden Region wider.
Fractional calculus was first developed by pure mathematicians in the middle of the 19th century. Some 100 years later, engineers and physicists have found applications for these concepts in their areas. However there has traditionally been little interaction between these two communities. In particular, typical mathematical works provide extensive findings on aspects with comparatively little significance in applications, and the engineering literature often lacks mathematical detail and precision. This book bridges the gap between the two communities. It concentrates on the class of fractional derivatives most important in applications, the Caputo operators, and provides a self-contained, thorough and mathematically rigorous study of their properties and of the corresponding differential equations. The text is a useful tool for mathematicians and researchers from the applied sciences alike. It can also be used as a basis for teaching graduate courses on fractional differential equations.
Focusing on the breadth of the topic, this volume explores Lévy processes and applications, and presents the state-of-the-art in this evolving area of study. These expository articles help to disseminate important theoretical and applied research to those studying the field.
WINNER of a Riskbook.com Best of 2004 Book Award! During the last decade, financial models based on jump processes have acquired increasing popularity in risk management and option pricing. Much has been published on the subject, but the technical nature of most papers makes them difficult for nonspecialists to understand, and the mathematic
This volume offers a well-structured overview of existent computational approaches to Riemann surfaces and those currently in development. The authors of the contributions represent the groups providing publically available numerical codes in this field. Thus this volume illustrates which software tools are available and how they can be used in practice. In addition examples for solutions to partial differential equations and in surface theory are presented. The intended audience of this book is twofold. It can be used as a textbook for a graduate course in numerics of Riemann surfaces, in which case the standard undergraduate background, i.e., calculus and linear algebra, is required. In pa...
This volume presents a review of advanced technological problems in the glass industry and of the mathematics involved. It is amazing that such a seemingly small research area is extremely rich and calls for an impressively large variety of mathematical methods, including numerical simulations of considerable complexity. The problems treated here are very typical of the field of glass manufacturing and cover a large spectrum of complementary subjects: injection molding by various techniques, radiative heat transfer in glass, nonisothermal flows and fibre spinning. The book can certainly be useful not only to applied mathematicians, but also to physicists and engineers, who can find in it an overview of the most advanced models and methods.
