Complex Problem Solving
Although complex problem solving has emerged as a field of psychology in its own right, the literature is, for the most part, widely scattered, and often so technical that it is inaccessible to non-experts. This unique book provides a comprehensive, in-depth, and accessible introduction to the field of complex problem solving. Chapter authors -- experts in their selected domains -- deliver systematic, thought-provoking analyses generally written from an information-processing point of view. Areas addressed include politics, electronics, and computers.
Spectrum and Dynamics
This volume contains a collection of papers presented at the workshop on Spectrum and Dynamics held at the CRM in April 2008. In recent years. many new exciting connections have been established between the spectral theory of elliptic operators and the theory of dynamical systems. A number of articles in the proceedings highlight these discoveries. The volume features a diversity of topics. Such as quantum chaos, spectral geometry. Semiclassical analysis, number theory and ergodic theory. Apart from the research papers aimed at the experts, this book includes several survey articles accessible to a broad math ematical audience.
Complex Analysis and Potential Theory
This is the proceedings volume of an international conference entitled Complex Analysis and Potential Theory, which was held to honor the important contributions of two influential analysts, Kohur N. GowriSankaran and Paul M. Gauthier, in June 2011 at the Centre de Recherches Mathematiques (CRM) in Montreal. More than fifty mathematicians from fifteen countries participated in the conference. The twenty-four surveys and research articles contained in this book are based on the lectures given by some of the most established specialists in the fields. They reflect the wide breadth of research interests of the two honorees: from potential theory on trees to approximation on Riemann surfaces, fr...
Anatomy of Integers
The book is mostly devoted to the study of the prime factors of integers, their size and their quantity, to good bounds on the number of integers with different properties (for example, those with only large prime factors) and to the distribution of divisors of integers in a given interval. In particular, various estimates concerning smooth numbers are developed. A large emphasis is put on the study of additive and multiplicative functions as well as various arithmetic functionssuch as the partition function. More specific topics include the Erdos-Kac Theorem, cyclotomic polynomials, combinatorial methods, quadratic forms, zeta functions, Dirichlet series and $L$-functions. All these create an intimate understanding of the properties of integers and lead to fascinating andunexpected consequences. The volume includes contributions from leading participants in this active area of research, such as Kevin Ford, Carl Pomerance, Kannan Soundararajan and Gerald Tenenbaum.
Models, Logics, and Higher-dimensional Categories
Proceedings of a conference held at Centre de recherches mathematiques of the Universite de Montreal, June 18-20, 2009.
From Personality to Virtue
Ten new essays illuminate the idea of character in relation to the findings of psychology and draw out the implications for our moral interactions, education, responsibility, and punishment. They explore the dynamic nature of character, its close integration with social context, and the conceptual affinity of moral philosophy and social psychology.
Waiting for Dead Men's Shoes
This monumental study provides an innovative and powerful means for understanding institutions by applying problem solving theory to the creation and elaboration of formal organizational rules and procedures. Based on a meticulously researched historical analysis of the U.S. Navys officer personnel system from its beginnings to 1941, the book is informed by developments in cognitive psychology, cognitive science, operations research, and management science. It also offers important insights into the development of the American administrative state, highlighting broader societal conflicts over equity, efficiency, and economy. Considering the Navys personnel system as an institution, the b...
Analysis and Geometry of Metric Measure Spaces
Contains lecture notes from most of the courses presented at the 50th anniversary edition of the Seminaire de Mathematiques Superieure in Montreal. This 2011 summer school was devoted to the analysis and geometry of metric measure spaces, and featured much interplay between this subject and the emergent topic of optimal transportation.
Modeling of Soft Matter
This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Applications MODELING OF SOFT MATTER contains papers presented at a very successful workshop with the same ti tle. The event, which was held on September 27-October 1, 2004, was an integral part of the 2004-2005 IMA Thematic Year on "Mathematics of Ma terials and Macromolecules: Multiple Scales, Disorder, and Singularities. " We would like to thank Maria-Carme T. Calderer (School of Mathematics, University of Minnesota) and Eugene M. Terentjev (Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge) for their superb role as workshop organizers and editors of the proceedings. We take this opportunity to thank the National Science Foundation for its support of the...
