ISBN: 9783764362027

This is the second volume of a collection of articles dedicated to V.G Maz'ya on the occasion of his 60th birthday. It contains most of the invited lectures of the Conference on Functional Analysis, Partial Differential Equations and Applications held in Rostock in September 1998 in honor of V.G Maz'ya. Here different problems of functional analysis, potential theory, linear and nonlinear partial differential equations, theory of function spaces and numerical analysis are treated. The authors, who are outstanding experts in these fields, present surveys as well as new results. The first volume contains surveys on his work in different fields of mathematics or on areas to which he made essential contributions. Other articles of this book have their origin in the common work with Maz'ya. V.G Maz'ya is author or co-author of more than 300 scientific works on various fields of functional analysis, function theory, numerical analysis, partial differential equations and their application. The reviews in this book show his enormous productivity and the large variety of his work.

Genre: Electronic books
ISBN: 365843399X

This comprehensive collection of tasks contains questions from energy and thermal engineering practice as well as from existing exercises and examinations. The solutions are very detailed and thus comprehensible. Since the structure of the book is based on that of the textbook "Fundamentals of Technical Thermodynamics" (ISBN 978-3-658-38909-3, Springer.com), students can work through the contents in depth and check their learning success. In the present edition, extensions and additions have been made for a better understanding of the solution paths. Numerous tables and diagrams are added. The contents Introduction - Thermodynamic basic terms - The first law of thermodynamics - The second law of thermodynamics - Ideal gases - Real gases and vapors - Thermal machines - Cyclic processes - Exergy - Heat transfer - Humid air – Combustion – Chemical thermodynamics – Multiple choice and question answering tasks - Appendix: tables and diagrams The target groups Students of mechanical engineering, energy engineering, process engineering, supply engineering and automotive engineering The author Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Dehli worked in the energy industry for 17 years, including as a department head in a large energy supply company in numerous fields of energy technology. Since 1991 he has been working at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences in the teaching areas of thermodynamics, energy technology, gas technology and combustion technology.

R. S. PHILLIPS I am very gratified to have been asked to give this introductory talk for our honoured guest, Israel Gohberg. I should like to begin by spending a few minutes talking shop. One of the great tragedies of being a mathematician is that your papers are read so seldom. On the average ten people will read the introduction to a paper and perhaps two of these will actually study the paper. It's difficult to know how to deal with this problem. One strategy which will at least get you one more reader, is to collaborate with someone. I think Israel early on caught on to this, and I imagine that by this time most of the analysts in the world have collaborated with him. He continues relentlessly in this pursuit; he visits his neighbour Harry Dym at the Weizmann Institute regularly, he spends several months a year in Amsterdam working with Rien Kaashoek, several weeks in Maryland with Seymour Goldberg, a couple of weeks here in Calgary with Peter Lancaster, and on the rare occasions when he is in Tel Aviv, he takes care of his many students.

Genre: Mathematics
ISBN: 0883857618

The Calculus Collection is a useful resource for everyone who teaches calculus, in high school or in a 2- or 4-year college or university. It consists of 123 articles, selected by a panel of six veteran high school teachers, each of which was originally published in Math Horizons, MAA Focus, The American Mathematical Monthly, The College Mathematics Journal, or Mathematics Magazine. The articles focus on engaging students who are meeting the core ideas of calculus for the first time. The Calculus Collection is filled with insights, alternate explanations of difficult ideas, and suggestions for how to take a standard problem and open it up to the rich mathematical explorations available when you encourage students to dig a little deeper. Some of the articles reflect an enthusiasm for bringing calculators and computers into the classroom, while others consciously address themes from the calculus reform movement. But most of the articles are simply interesting and timeless explorations of the mathematics encountered in a first course in calculus.

The Correspondence of Charles Darwin: Volume 24, 1876

This volume is part of the definitive edition of letters written by and to Charles Darwin, the most celebrated naturalist of the nineteenth century. Notes and appendixes put these fascinating and wide-ranging letters in context, making the letters accessible to both scholars and general readers. Darwin depended on correspondence to collect data from all over the world, and to discuss his emerging ideas with scientific colleagues, many of whom he never met in person. The letters are published chronologically: volume 24 includes letters from 1876, the year in which Darwin published Cross and Self Fertilisation in the Vegetable Kingdom, and started writing Forms of Flowers. In 1876, Darwin's daughter-in-law, Amy, died shortly after giving birth to a son, Bernard Darwin, an event that devastated the family. The volume includes a supplement of 182 letters from earlier years, including a newly discovered collection of letters from William Darwin, Darwin's eldest son.
