The various chapters within this volume include a wide variety of applications that extend far beyond this limited perception. As part of the Reliable Lab Solutions series, Essential Numerical Computer Methods brings together chapters from volumes 210, 240, 321, 383, 384, 454, and 467 of Methods in Enzymology. These chapters provide a general progression from basic numerical methods to more specific biochemical and biomedical applications.
Book describes Marius' army reforms in 107 BC onward to the political significance of the Roman army in the last century of the Republic. Analyzes the Social War and Sertorius' Spanish revolt. Further chapters on Drusus' tribunate programme and recruitment to Senate and Sulla 's attitude to the Equites.
In the absence of a powerful state, how was coercive power established within, over, and by the cities of the Low Countries? Eleven chapters covering the medieval and early modern periods explore this theme from various angles. Some chapters detail symbolic contests or armed struggle, while others focus on industrial control by urban magistrates or their attempts to regulate servants and maintain religious orthodoxy. The essays suggest that the Netherlandic world, in which cities have always loomed large, may have followed a distinctive path of political development that characterized the urban belt of Europe more generally.
Nonstandard analysis represents a fundamental change of perspective in mathematics (and sciences), comparable to the introduction of Cantor's set theory in the nineteenth century. This book is a short, readable introduction to the subject, based on the axiomatic or IST approach. The first part gives a clear, rigorous exposition of the theory; the second part consists of a number of self-contained chapters dealing with applications. As an aid to self-study, the author has included exercises at the end of each chapter, with hints as well as full solutions.
This third edition builds on the international success of previous editions, offering an easy access critical introduction to social science theories of identity, for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates. All of the previous chapters have been updated and extra material has been added where relevant, for example, on globalization. Two new chapters have been added; one addresses the debate about whether identity matters, discussing, for example, Brubaker; the second reviews the postmodern approach to identity.
