A collection of lectures on functional analysis and applications. Areas addressed include: sets, spaces and functions; integrals; topological spaces; spaces of operators and functionals; linear operators; spectral theory of linear operators; and nonlinear problems of functional analysis. This book is intended for those having only a moderate background in mathematics, who need to increase their mathematical knowledge for development in their areas of work and to read the related mathematical literature.
A systematic overview of modern metaphysics, A Survey of Metaphysics covers all of the most important topics in the field. It adopts the fairly traditional conception of metaphysics as a subject that deals with the deepest questions that can be raised concerning the fundamental structure of reality as a whole. The book is divided into six main sections that address the following themes: identity and change, necessity and essence, causation, agency and events, space and time, and universals and particulars.
Numerical Solution of Elliptic Differential Equations by Reduction to the Interface
This is the first book that deals with the numerical solution of elliptic partial differential equations by their reduction to the interface. Inheriting the beneficial features of finite element, boundary element and domain decomposition methods, the new approach exhibits linear-logarithmic complexity in the number of the interface degrees of freedom and it is well suited for parallel computations.
This volume assists practicing mental health professionals in expanding their knowledge about nutritional and herbal interventions that can be attempted as alternatives to prescription medications. Designed to provide guidance for non-medical caregivers treating children and adolescents who present with emotional and/or behavioral difficulties such as such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, sleep difficulties, impulsivity, distractibility, and other psychological and psychiatric disorders, the volume provides a comprehensive discussion of naturopathic solutions based on existing research.
