These proceedings collect several number theory articles, most of which were written in connection to the workshop WIN4: Women in Numbers, held in August 2017, at the Banff International Research Station (BIRS) in Banff, Alberta, Canada. It collects papers disseminating research outcomes from collaborations initiated during the workshop as well as other original research contributions involving participants of the WIN workshops. The workshop and this volume are part of the WIN network, aimed at highlighting the research of women and gender minorities in number theory as well as increasing their participation and boosting their potential collaborations in number theory and related fields.
2010 First International Conference on Electrical and Electronics Engineering was held in Wuhan, China, December 4-5. Future Intelligent Information Systems book contains eighty-five revised and extended research articles written by prominent researchers participating in the conference. Topics covered include Tools and Methods of AI, Knowledge Discovery, Information Management and knowledge sharing, intelligent e-Technology, Information systems governance, and Informatics in Control. Intelligent Information System will offer the state of art of tremendous advances in Intelligent Information System and also serve as an excellent reference work for researchers and graduate students working with/on Intelligent Information System.
The two volumes LNAI 11649 and 11650 constitute the refereed proceedings of the 20th Annual Conference "Towards Autonomous Robotics", TAROS 2019, held in London, UK, in July 2019. The 87 full papers and 12 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 101 submissions. The papers present and discuss significant findings and advances in autonomous robotics research and applications. They are organized in the following topical sections: robotic grippers and manipulation; soft robotics, sensing and mobile robots; robotic learning, mapping and planning; human-robot interaction; and robotic systems and applications.
This textbook offers an introduction to the theory of Drinfeld modules, mathematical objects that are fundamental to modern number theory. After the first two chapters conveniently recalling prerequisites from abstract algebra and non-Archimedean analysis, Chapter 3 introduces Drinfeld modules and the key notions of isogenies and torsion points. Over the next four chapters, Drinfeld modules are studied in settings of various fields of arithmetic importance, culminating in the case of global fields. Throughout, numerous number-theoretic applications are discussed, and the analogies between classical and function field arithmetic are emphasized. Drinfeld Modules guides readers from the basics ...
This book provides insight into the history and current status of teaching in technical and vocational education across a broad range of countries. It contains studies of the profiles of teachers and lecturers and their educational practices. An overarching introduction embeds the content of the book into the current global context of Technical and Vocational Education and Training. This is the first substantial volume on the topic in 30 years.
This book provides insight into the impact the 2007/8 financial crisis and subsequent Great Recession had on American fiction. Employing an interdisciplinary approach which combines literary studies with anthropology, economics, sociology, and psychology, the author attempts to gauge the changes that the crisis facilitated in the American novel. Focusing on four books, Elizabeth Strout’s My Name Is Lucy Barton, Philipp Meyer’s American Rust, Sophie McManus’s The Unfortunates, and William Gibson’s The Peripheral, the study traces how they present such issues as poverty, wealth, equality, distinction, opportunity, and how they relate both to traditional criticisms of consumer culture and the US economy, particularly those issues that have received more attention as a result of the crisis. It also tackles the issue of genre and interpretation in this period, as well as what methods the analyzed novels employ in order to highlight the decreasing social mobility of Americans.
This volume contains articles related to the work of the Simons Collaboration “Arithmetic Geometry, Number Theory, and Computation.” The papers present mathematical results and algorithms necessary for the development of large-scale databases like the L-functions and Modular Forms Database (LMFDB). The authors aim to develop systematic tools for analyzing Diophantine properties of curves, surfaces, and abelian varieties over number fields and finite fields. The articles also explore examples important for future research. Specific topics include● algebraic varieties over finite fields● the Chabauty-Coleman method● modular forms● rational points on curves of small genus● S-unit equations and integral points.
This book explores sentimental poetry, an often overlooked, yet significant and persuasive pre-Civil War American discourse. At a time when a woman speaking before a mixed-gender audience might be labeled "promiscuous," many women presented their views through sentimental poetry, a blend of affect with intellect.
What Remains of Edith Finch was released in 2017 amid a gaming public that had largely dismissed the walking simulator as a gaming genre. But for those who appreciated the power of a combat-less, story-driven video game, What Remains of Edith Finch would become a beacon for what’s possible when a game rejects traditional video game markers of progress in favor of narrative progression as its core player motivation. Jimmy Fallon, Saturday Night Live alumnus and host of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, says of the game, “it’s one of my favorite things… it’s gonna change your life.” In Suddenly I was a Shark!: My Time with What Remains of Edith Finch, author Caleb J. Ross explores the life-changing impact of this unassuming video game about a young woman’s attempt to understand a curse that has killed every member of her family. By mixing developer interviews, personal stories, and examinations of the game’s many literary inspirations, Caleb delivers a powerful story of personal change via one of the most important walking simulator video games ever made.
In fields as diverse as research and development, governance, and international trade, success depends on effective communication. However, limited research exists on how professionals can express themselves consistently across disciplines. Modern Trends Surrounding Information Technology Standards and Standardization within Organizations showcases the far-ranging economic and societal ramifications incited by technical standardization between individuals, organizations, disciplines, and nations. This publication serves as a valuable model for inter-disciplinary scholars, IT researchers, and professionals interested in the link between technology and social change in an increasingly networked and interconnected global society.
