Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This textbook offers an elementary introduction to noncommutative rings and algebras. Beginning with the classical theory of finite-dimensional algebras, it then develops a more general structure theory of rings, grounded in modules and tensor products. The final chapters cover free algebras, polynomial identities, and rings of quotients.Many results are presented in a simplified form rather than in full generality, with an emphasis on clear and understandable exposition. Prerequisites are kept to a minimum, and new concepts are introduced gradually and carefully motivated. Introduction to Noncommutative Algebra is thus accessible to a broad mathematical audience, though it is primarily intended for beginning graduate students and advanced undergraduates encountering the subject for the first time.This new edition includes several additions and improvements, while preserving the original text's character and approach.Praise for the first edition:'It will soon find its place in classrooms' Plamen Koshlukov, Mathematical Reviews'Very well written [.] very pleasant to read' Veereshwar A.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book explores the application of formal methods, rooted in mathematics and logic, to the analysis and enhancement of biomedical ontologies. The authors take a pragmatic approach focused on generating actionable insights to achieve high-quality codified biomedical knowledge in the most active and impactful areas where ontologies have a direct real-world impact. The book first introduces simple, yet formalized strategies for discovering undesired and incoherent patterns in ontologies before exploring the application of formal concept analysis for semantic completeness. The authors then discuss formal concept analysis as an ontological engineering principle. The book goes on to highlight the power and utility of uncovering non-lattice structure for debugging ontologies. This Second Edition includes a new chapter that covers recent research on leveraging logical definitions for identifying ontological defects. The authors have also added a new chapter on the perspective of using large language models in the ontological analysis work.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 272 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This text gives a comprehensive, largely self-contained treatment of multivariate heavy tail analysis. Emphasizing regular variation of measures means theory can be presented systematically and without regard to dimension. Tools are developed that allow a flexible definition of 'extreme' in higher dimensions and permit different heavy tails to coexist on the same state space leading to 'hidden regular variation' and 'steroidal regular variation'. This emphasizes when estimating risks, it is important to choose the appropriate heavy tail. Theoretical foundations lead naturally to statistical techniques; examples are drawn from risk estimation, finance, climatology and network analysis. Treatments target a broad audience in insurance, finance, data analysis, network science and probability modeling. The prerequisites are modest knowledge of analysis and familiarity with the definition of a measure; regular variation of functions is reviewed but is not a focal point.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 276 pp. Englisch.

It aims at undergraduate and beginning graduate students in the physical sciences and in engineering. This book combines two unique aspects: (i) Making quantum mechanical concepts broadly accessible: Rather than avoiding fundamental concepts such as electronic band structure and phonons, as is the case in the established texts on semiconductors, the book embraces and incorporates them as key building blocks. While conceptually sound and rigorous, this textbook avoids unnecessary detail to provide students with a solid understanding of key concepts while enabling rapid progress toward the learning goals. (ii) Extensive examples sourced from contemporary research: Advanced topics from the current literature (past 10 years) are included as natural extensions to each chapter of the book. These contemporary examples broaden the students' knowledge beyond the typical content of an introductory textbook, provide relevant literature references, and encourage further reading and self-study. In this way, the extensions help educate the students for careers in the 'post-silicon era'.Provides a concise introduction to semiconductor materials and devices, accessible to students of varying backgroundsMakes extensive use of current, real examples to facilitate understanding and motivate further readingPrepares students for careers in semiconductor research and development, device design, and manufacturingSpringer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 392 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Among several main formulations, the book treats inverse problems with single measurements by Carleman estimates and describes a method for proving the uniqueness and the stability for the first-order transport equations, parabolic equations, and hyperbolic equations. The book gives self-contained derivations of Carleman estimates, which do not rely on any general theory and simplified application method of the Carleman estimates to the inverse problems. Thus, the target audience is graduate students of faculty of sciences and interested graduate students from engineering fields. The book tries to limit the preliminary knowledge to a standard 4-year undergraduate course. In order to master the methodology, we restrict equations within first-order transport equations, parabolic equations and hyperbolic equations, but it is expected to apply the same methods for other evolution equations such as fluid dynamics.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 304 pp. Englisch.
