Schemas in Problem SolvingSchemas are major knowledge structures influencing the way people acquire and store information. Sandra Marshall explores a new theory of schema development and studies the applicability of the theory as a unified basis for understanding learning, instruction, and assessment.
Spinal Manipulation Made Simple: A Manual of Soft Tissue Techniques
Written by an expert on alternative bodywork, this book presents techniques for manipulating the soft tissues of the back in a safe, simple manner. The method avoids the high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusting techniques employed by chiropractors. Instead, it utilizes the intuitive sense of somatic bodyworkers combined with the proven theory and technique of Rolfing to provide safe and effective treatment.
Schur algebras are an algebraic system that provide a link between the representation theory of the symmetric and general linear groups. Dr. Martin gives a self-contained account of this algebra and those links, covering the basic ideas and their quantum analogues. He discusses not only the usual representation-theoretic topics (such as constructions of irreducible modules, the structure of blocks containing them, decomposition numbers and so on) but also the intrinsic properties of Schur algebras, leading to a discussion of their cohomology theory.
Symplectic Geometry (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series)
The area of symplectic geometry has developed rapidly in the past ten years with major new discoveries that were motivated by and have provided links with many other subjects such as dynamical systems, topology, gauge theory, mathematical physics, and singularity theory. The contributions to this volume reflect the richness of the subject and include expository papers as well as original research.
Game Theory and Pragmatics (Palgrave Studies in Pragmatics, Languages and Cognition)
Language is one of the most precious gifts nature has bestowed upon us. It allows us to cooperate better with other individuals by enabling us to communicate useful and relevant information. What is it about language and our use of it that allows us to do so? It is the combination of stable linguistic rules and flexible reasoning.
