This book explores the world of the classical pianist and piano professor, deconstructing many familiar words that describe this environment. Based upon the author's experience as a concert artist and college professor, this book resonates with both past and current students of the piano as well as music lovers.
Many changes have occurred in recent years to produce an increase in the amount of orthopaedic information which residents will ultimately see in their conferences, on their in-training examination, and during their boards. Today's residents can access this information from a myriad of sources: the AAOS, the Internet, orthopaedic journals, review books, and texts.
Organised into eight chapters, this report examines early childhood education, schooling, transitions beyond initial education, higher education, adult learning, outcomes and returns, equity, and innovation.
Mathematical Analysis of Problems in the Natural Sciences
Based on a two-semester course aimed at illustrating various interactions of "pure mathematics" with other sciences, such as hydrodynamics, thermodynamics, statistical physics and information theory, this text unifies three general topics of analysis and physics, which are as follows: the dimensional analysis of physical quantities, which contains various applications including Kolmogorov's model for turbulence; functions of very large number of variables and the principle of concentration along with the non-linear law of large numbers, the geometric meaning of the Gauss and Maxwell distributions, and the Kotelnikov-Shannon theorem;
Our contemporary understanding of brain function is deeply rooted in the ideas of the nonlinear dynamics of distributed networks. Cognition and motor coordination seem to arise from the interactions of local neuronal networks, which themselves are connected in large scales across the entire brain. The spatial architectures between various scales inevitably influence the dynamics of the brain and thereby its function. But how can we integrate brain connectivity amongst these structural and functional domains?
