This volume contains selected refereed papers based on lectures presented at the ´;Fifth International Fez Conference on Commutative Algebra and Applications´ that was held in Fez, Morocco in June 2008. The volume represents new trends and areas of classical research within the field, with contributions from many different countries. In addition, the volume has as a special focus the research and influence of Alain Bouvier on commutative algebra over the past thirty years.
Linear systems theory is the cornerstone of control theory and a well-established discipline that focuses on linear differential equations from the perspective of control and estimation. In this textbook, João Hespanha covers the key topics of the field in a unique lecture-style format, making the book easy to use for instructors and students. He looks at system representation, stability, controllability and state feedback, observability and state estimation, and realization theory.
This sixth edition of Additional Maths:Pure and Applied, has been completely revised and updated. It covers the Cambridge Additional Mathematics syllabus in the Pure Mathematics and Particle Mechanics sections. In this new edition, the authors have included *additional sections to make for a more comprehensive coverage of topics; *more exercise and revision questions; *additional/replacement examples/figures to complement the modified text.
Pure Mathematics: Complete Advanced Level Mathematics
This title provides numerous exercises, worked examples and clear explanations with questions and diagrams. Colour is used to highlight key mathematical elements and enhance learning. Margin notes provide extra support for key topics and formulas (a key formulas page is also included). Review and Technique exercises; Contextual questions; Consolidation 'A' and 'B' exercises and Applications and Activities provide a complete range of challenges and exam practice for complete success. Chapter overviews and summaries consolidate understanding.
This nicely written manuscript takes a gentler approach than other functional analysis graduate texts, and includes an improved approach along with a better choice of topics. The concise treatment makes this ideal for a one-semester course. The exercises in this manuscript are numerous and of a very high quality. Interesting historical tidbits are scattered throughout the text, many of which will be new to most readers. The main prerequisites are basic undergraduate courses in real analysis, linear algebra, and point set topology.
