The explosion of digital information and communication technologies has influenced almost every aspect of contemporary life. "Diasporas in the New Media Age" is the first book-length examination of the social use of these technologies by emigrants and diasporas around the world. The eighteen original essays in the book explore the personal, familial, and social impact of modern communication technology on populations of European, Asian, African, Caribbean, Middle Eastern, and Latin American emigrants.
The approach taken by this book is based on two beliefs. The first is that almost nobody understands calculus fully the first time around: multiple exposures are required. The second belief is that graphing calculators can be used to make the introduction of the theory of limits much easier for the students. This book presents the theoretical pieces of introductory calculus, using appropriate technology, in a style suitable to accompany almost any first calculus text.
Measure theory is a classical area of mathematics born more than two thousand years ago. Nowadays it continues intensive development and has fruitful connections with most other fields of mathematics as well as important applications in physics. This book gives an exposition of the foundations of modern measure theory and offers three levels of presentation: a standard university graduate course, an advanced study containing some complements to the basic course and, finally, more specialized topics partly covered by more than 850 exercises.
This second edition of Alexander Sofier’s Geometric Etudes in Combinatorial Mathematics provides supplementary reading materials to students of all levels interested in pursuing mathematics, especially in algebra, geometry, and combinatorial geometry. Within the text, the author outlines an introduction to graph theory and combinatorics while exploring topics such as the pigeonhole principle, Borsuk problem, and theorems of Helly and Szokefalvi—Nagy.
