Surveys in Combinatorics 2021
This volume contains nine survey articles based on plenary lectures given at the 28th British Combinatorial Conference, hosted online by Durham University in July 2021. This biennial conference is a well-established international event, attracting speakers from around the world. Written by some of the foremost researchers in the field, these surveys provide up-to-date overviews of several areas of contemporary interest in combinatorics. Topics discussed include maximal subgroups of finite simple groups, Hasse-Weil type theorems and relevant classes of polynomial functions, the partition complex, the graph isomorphism problem, and Borel combinatorics. Representing a snapshot of current developments in combinatorics, this book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in mathematics and theoretical computer science.
Proof and Computation II
This book is for graduate students and researchers, introducing modern foundational research in mathematics, computer science, and philosophy from an interdisciplinary point of view. Its scope includes proof theory, constructive mathematics and type theory, univalent mathematics and point-free approaches to topology, extraction of certified programs from proofs, automated proofs in the automotive industry, as well as the philosophical and historical background of proof theory. By filling the gap between (under-)graduate level textbooks and advanced research papers, the book gives a scholarly account of recent developments and emerging branches of the aforementioned fields.
Constrained Willmore Surfaces
From B瓣cklund to Darboux, this monograph presents a comprehensive journey through the transformation theory of constrained Willmore surfaces, a topic of great importance in modern differential geometry and, in particular, in the field of integrable systems in Riemannian geometry. The first book on this topic, it discusses in detail a spectral deformation, B瓣cklund transformations and Darboux transformations, and proves that all these transformations preserve the existence of a conserved quantity, defining, in particular, transformations within the class of constant mean curvature surfaces in 3-dimensional space-forms, with, furthermore, preservation of both the space-form and the mean curvature, and bridging the gap between different approaches to the subject, classical and modern. Clearly written with extensive references, chapter introductions and self-contained accounts of the core topics, it is suitable for newcomers to the theory of constrained Wilmore surfaces. Many detailed computations and new results unavailable elsewhere in the literature make it also an appealing reference for experts.
Logics for New-Generation AI. First International Workshop, 18-20 June 2021, Hangzhou
With the development of several new directions of AI, including explainable AI, ethical AI and knowledge-based AI, the corresponding directions of logical research are gaining momentum: causal reasoning, norms and value reasoning, and knowledge graph reasoning. In an open and dynamic environment, the main challenges for modeling such kinds of reasoning are to deal with information that is typically incomplete, uncertain, dynamic and conflicting, and to effectively explain the results and procedures of reasoning to ordinary human beings. Nonmonotonic logics and formal argumentation can be used as fundamental theories to cope with these challenges. The papers in this volume well reflect the state-of-the-art of the research on related topics.

Advektion und Diffusion im Einfluss auf den Wettbewerb dreier konkurrierender Spezies
Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Mathematik - Sonstiges, Note: 1,3, Universit瓣t M羹nster, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Grundlage zur Beschreibung von drei konkurrierenden Spezies in einer sich bewegenden Umgebung ist ein Modell bestehend aus drei Reaktions-Diffusions-Advektions Gleichungen unter Annahme von Danckwerts Randbedingungen. Ziel ist zu untersuchen, inwieweit die advektive Umwelt, wie zum Beispiel ein Fluss, die Zusammensetzung der drei Spezies in dem folgenden Modell beeinflusst. Dabei wird beobachtet, inwieweit die St瓣rke der Umgebungsbewegung wie etwa Str繹mung den Wettbewerb unter den drei Spezies beeinflusst. Wann gestattet die Advektion Koexistenz und unter welchen Bedingungen kommt es zum Aussterben einer Spezies? Diese ?berlegungen sind besonders interessant, da die Umwelt - etwa durch Begradigung von Fl羹ssen - an menschliche Anforderungen angepasst wird und sich dadurch die Str繹mungsgeschwindigkeit ver瓣ndert. Wie im Weiteren deutlich wird, kann eine ?nderung der St瓣rke der Advektion einen Einfluss auf den Ausgang der Konkurrenzsituation der drei Spezies haben. Um dies zu untersuchen, wird zur Vereinfachung des Modells der Advektions-Diffusions-Term durch den f羹hrenden Eigenwert ersetzt. Dadurch ergibt sich ein nur zeitliches gew繹hnliches Differenzialgleichungssystem. Unter Annahmen der Anordnung der Spezies anhand deren Wettbewerbsst瓣rke ergeben sich zwei F瓣lle. In Kapitel 4 wird der transitive Fall, in dem eine Spezies sich gegen die beiden anderen durchsetzt, betrachtet. Kapitel 5 behandelt den Fall, in dem es eine zyklische Anordnung der Spezies gibt.

Monthly Problem Gems
This book is an outgrowth of a collection of sixty-two problems offered in the The American Mathematical Monthly (AMM) the author has worked over the last two decades. Each selected problem has a central theme, contains gems of sophisticated ideas connected to important current research, and opens new vistas in the understanding of mathematics. The AMM problem section provides one of the most challenging and interesting problem sections among the various journals and online sources currently available. The published problems and solutions have become a treasure trove rife with mathematical gems. The author presents either his published solution in the AMM or an alternative solution to the published one to present and develop problem-solving techniques. A rich glossary of important theorems and formulas is included for easy reference. The reader may regard this book as a starter set for AMM problems, providing a jumping of point to new ideas, and extending their personal lexicon of problems and solutions. This collection is intended to encourage the reader to move away from routine exercises toward creative solutions, as well as offering the reader a systematic illustration of how to organize the transition from problem solving to exploring, investigating and discovering new results.
Non-Standard Relativity
"Current physics and cosmology have left us with a confusion of empirically-derived models which do not yet combine into a coherent structure and which are most often ad hoc. Wegener is surely right in believing that the only way to tackle this problem is to go back to the foundations, and he has used skills acquired in many different disciplines to show us that a coherent solution is now within our grasp. I thoroughly enjoyed reading his book." Peter Rowlands, Physics Department, University of Liverpool.

One theorem started it all
I believe in inspiring and connecting people with mathematics. It is an international language, after all. By building a community around treespeak - a mathematical language that is about the subtle cooperation between vertex edge algebra and the tree generation algorithm - I could show people that mathematics is truly a form of art and a fun, competitive game as well. One theorem - the theorem of sum forms - started it all: the research project that culminated into treespeak, and various other ideas that are also in this book. If you love mathematics, would like to be a part of the treespeak community, are otherwise interested in mathematical trees and beautiful symbolic representations, or would like to know something about pi, Euler's number, Collatz conjecture or possibly controversial mathematics, then this book is for you!

Symmetry in Particle Physics
Particle physics is a science about the symmetries of our world. The Standard Model is the fundamental theory of microworld. Particle dynamics in the Standard Model obeys strict symmetry laws with explicit experimental consequences. Priority problems of particle physics based on the Standard Model are more accurate theoretical predictions, experimental measurements and data analysis, proof of existence or non-existence of supersymmetry, top quark properties, Higgs boson, exotic quark states, and physics of neutrinos. In this collection of articles, many of these problems are discussed. We recommend this book for students, graduate students, and scientists working in the field of high energy physics.
Current Advances on Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer
The book is devoted to the design, application and characterization of thin films and structures, with special emphasis on optical applications. It comprises ten papers-five featured and five regular-authored by scientists all over the world. Diverse materials are studied and their possible applications are demonstrated and discussed-transparent conductive coatings and structures from ZnO doped with Al and Ga and Ti-doped SnO2, polymers and nanosized zeolite thin films for optical sensing, TiO2 with linear and nonlinear optical properties, organic diamagnetic materials, broadband optical coatings, CrWN glass molding coatings, and silicon on insulator waveguides
Data Science
With the increase in data processing and storage capacity, a large amount of data is available. Data without analysis does not have much value. Thus, the demand for data analysis is increasing daily, and the consequence is the appearance of a large number of jobs and published articles. Data science has emerged as a multidisciplinary field to support data-driven activities, integrating and developing ideas, methods, and processes to extract information from data. This includes methods built from different knowledge areas: Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Information Science, and Engineering. This mixture of areas has given rise to what we call Data Science. New solutions to the new problems are reproducing rapidly to generate large volumes of data. Current and future challenges require greater care in creating new solutions that satisfy the rationality for each type of problem. Labels such as Big Data, Data Science, Machine Learning, Statistical Learning, and Artificial Intelligence are demanding more sophistication in the foundations and how they are being applied. This point highlights the importance of building the foundations of Data Science. This book is dedicated to solutions and discussions of measuring uncertainties in data analysis problems.
Singularities, Bifurcations and Catastrophes
Suitable for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers, this self-contained textbook provides an introduction to the mathematics lying at the foundations of bifurcation theory. The theory is built up gradually, beginning with the well-developed approach to singularity theory through right-equivalence. The text proceeds with contact equivalence of map-germs and finally presents the path formulation of bifurcation theory. This formulation, developed partly by the author, is more general and more flexible than the original one dating from the 1980s. A series of appendices discuss standard background material, such as calculus of several variables, existence and uniqueness theorems for ODEs, and some basic material on rings and modules. Based on the author's own teaching experience, the book contains numerous examples and illustrations. The wealth of end-of-chapter problems develop and reinforce understanding of the key ideas and techniques: solutions to a selection are provided.

Preservice Primary Teachers’ Diagnostic Competences in Mathematics
Considering the relevance of teachers' diagnostic competence for understanding students' thinking and providing effective learning opportunities, Macarena Larrain investigates the development of future primary school teachers' diagnostic competence in error situations already during initial teacher education. Using video vignettes of classroom situations and samples of students' work, the author focuses on fostering future teachers' competence to identify students' errors, elaborate hypotheses about the causes of those errors and to design appropriate strategies for supporting students in overcoming their misconceptions. She also describes aspects of teachers' knowledge, beliefs and experience that are relevant for the competence and its development.
Differential Equations
This book illustrates how MAPLE(TM) can be used to supplement a standard, elementary text in ordinary and partial differential equation. The goal of the book is to teach the students enough about the computer algebra system MAPLE(TM) so that it can be used in an investigative way.

Der Satz Des Pythagoras in 365 Beweisen
Dieses Buch pr瓣sentiert etwa 365 verschiedene Beweise in einer sehr anschaulichen und verst瓣ndlichen Form und ordnet au?erdem den Satz sowie seine Beweisvielfalt fachwissenschaftlich, kulturgeschichtlich, didaktisch und bildungstheoretisch ein. Dar羹ber hinaus enth瓣lt es eine ausf羹hrliche Darstellung einer mehrfach praxiserprobten Unterrichtseinheit f羹r allgemeinbildende Schulen, in deren Zentrum eben jene Beweisvielfalt steht. In ihr wird "der Pythagoras" zum Muster f羹r die Entdeckungen der antiken Mathematik, an welchem demonstriert werden kann, wie die mathematischen Wahrheiten aufeinander ruhen. Auch Studierenden bietet die Sammlung einen einzigartigen Einblick in die Arbeitsweise der Mathematik und deren deduktives Geb瓣ude. Die Beweissammlung basiert auf einer Arbeit von Elisha Scott Loomis (1852-1940), der zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts hunderte algebraische und geometrische Beweise gesammelt, systematisiert und publiziert hat: Kristallisationskern f羹r eine Geistes- und Kulturgeschichte der Mathematik, hochexemplarisch verdichtet am pythagoreischen Lehrsatz. Nun erscheint die Loomis-Sammlung in einer v繹llig 羹berarbeiteten und erweiterten Ausgabe erstmals auf Deutsch. Aus dem Geleitwort von Prof. G羹nter M. Ziegler Ein Beweis sollte genauso zum Allgemeinwissen geh繹ren wie der Satz des Pythagoras selbst [...] Es gibt eben nicht den einen, perfekten Beweis [...] Es gibt viele Beweise, und das ist eine Chance und Gelegenheit, in vielerlei Hinsicht [...] Man kann viel an diesem Buch lernen, die Vielfalt von Beweisen kennenlernen, sich davon inspirieren lassen, und sich daran freuen.
Mathematics Is Beautiful
In 17 chapters, this book attempts to deal with well-known and less well-known topics in mathematics. This is done in a vivid way and therefore the book contains a wealth of colour illustrations. It deals with stars and polygons, rectangles and circles, straight and curved lines, natural numbers, square numbers and much more. If you look at the illustrations, you will discover plenty of exciting and beautiful things in mathematics.The book offers a variety of suggestions to think about what is depicted and to experiment in order to make and check your own assumptions. For many topics, no (or only few) prerequisites from school lessons are needed. It is an important concern of the book that young people find their way to mathematics and that readers whose school days are some time ago discover new things. The numerous references to internet sites and further literature help in this respect. "Solutions" to the suggestions interspersed in the individual sections can be downloaded from the Springer website. The book was thus written for everyone who enjoys mathematics or who would like to understand why the book bears this title. It is also aimed at teachers who want to give their students additional or new motivation to learn.This book is a translation of the original German 2nd edition Mathematik ist sch繹n by Heinz Klaus Strick, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH, DE, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). In the subsequent editing, the author, with the friendly support of John O'Connor, St Andrews University, Scotland, tried to make it closer to a conventional translation. Still, the book may read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
Engineering Properties of Superconducting Materials
Plastic (and microplastic) pollution has been described as one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time, and a hallmark of the human-driven epoch known as the Anthropocene. It has gained the attention of the general public, governments, and environmental scientists worldwide. To date, the main focus has been on plastics in the marine environment, but interest in the presence and effects of plastics in freshwaters has increased in the recent years. The occurrence of plastics within inland lakes and rivers, as well as their biota, has been demonstrated. Experiments with freshwater organisms have started to explore the direct and indirect effects resulting from plastic exposure. There is a clear need for further research, and a dedicated space for its dissemination. This book is devoted to highlighting current research from around the world on the prevalence, fate, and effects of plastic in freshwater environments.

Bernoulli’s Fallacy
There is a logical flaw in the statistical methods used across experimental science. This fault is not a minor academic quibble: it underlies a reproducibility crisis now threatening entire disciplines. In an increasingly statistics-reliant society, this same deeply rooted error shapes decisions in medicine, law, and public policy with profound consequences. The foundation of the problem is a misunderstanding of probability and its role in making inferences from observations. Aubrey Clayton traces the history of how statistics went astray, beginning with the groundbreaking work of the seventeenth-century mathematician Jacob Bernoulli and winding through gambling, astronomy, and genetics. Clayton recounts the feuds among rival schools of statistics, exploring the surprisingly human problems that gave rise to the discipline and the all-too-human shortcomings that derailed it. He highlights how influential nineteenth- and twentieth-century figures developed a statistical methodology they claimed was purely objective in order to silence critics of their political agendas, including eugenics. Clayton provides a clear account of the mathematics and logic of probability, conveying complex concepts accessibly for readers interested in the statistical methods that frame our understanding of the world. He contends that we need to take a Bayesian approach--that is, to incorporate prior knowledge when reasoning with incomplete information--in order to resolve the crisis. Ranging across math, philosophy, and culture, Bernoulli's Fallacy explains why something has gone wrong with how we use data--and how to fix it.

Geometric Control Theory and Sub-Riemannian Geometry
Honoring Andrei Agrachev's 60th birthday, this volume presents recent advances in the interaction between Geometric Control Theory and sub-Riemannian geometry. On the one hand, Geometric Control Theory used the differential geometric and Lie algebraic language for studying controllability, motion planning, stabilizability and optimality for control systems. The geometric approach turned out to be fruitful in applications to robotics, vision modeling, mathematical physics etc. On the other hand, Riemannian geometry and its generalizations, such as sub-Riemannian, Finslerian geometry etc., have been actively adopting methods developed in the scope of geometric control. Application of these methods has led to important results regarding geometry of sub-Riemannian spaces, regularity of sub-Riemannian distances, properties of the group of diffeomorphisms of sub-Riemannian manifolds, local geometry and equivalence of distributions and sub-Riemannian structures, regularity of the Hausdorff volume, etc.
Computable Structure Theory
In mathematics, we know there are some concepts - objects, constructions, structures, proofs - that are more complex and difficult to describe than others. Computable structure theory quantifies and studies the complexity of mathematical structures, structures such as graphs, groups, and orderings. Written by a contemporary expert in the subject, this is the first full monograph on computable structure theory in 20 years. Aimed at graduate students and researchers in mathematical logic, it brings new results of the author together with many older results that were previously scattered across the literature and presents them all in a coherent framework, making it easier for the reader to learn the main results and techniques in the area for application in their own research. This volume focuses on countable structures whose complexity can be measured within arithmetic; a forthcoming second volume will study structures beyond arithmetic.

Written by leading international experts and covering state-of-the-art topics in numerical simulation for flows, it provides fascinating insights into and perspectives on current and future methodological and numerical developments in computational science. As such, the book is a valuable resource for researchers, as well as Masters and Ph.D students.
Basic Calculus of Planetary Orbits and Interplanetary Flight
Intended for a one- or two-semester course, this text applies basic, one-variable calculus to analyze the motion both of planets in their orbits as well as interplanetary spacecraft in their trajectories. The remarkable spacecraft missions to the inner and outermost reaches of our solar system have been one of the greatest success stories of modern human history. Much of the underlying mathematical story is presented alongside the astonishing images and extensive data that NASA's Voyager, NEAR-Shoemaker, Cassini, and Juno missions have sent back to us. First and second year college students in mathematics, engineering, or science, and those seeking an enriching independent study, will experience the mathematical language and methods of single variable calculus within their application to relevant conceptual and strategic aspects of the navigation of a spacecraft. The reader is expected to have taken one or two semesters of the basic calculus of derivatives, integrals, and the role that limits play. Additional prerequisites include knowledge of coordinate plane geometry, basic trigonometry, functions and graphs, including trig, inverse, exponential, and log functions. The discussions begin with the rich history of humanity's efforts to understand the universe from the Greeks, to Newton and the Scientific Revolution, to Hubble and galaxies, to NASA and the space missions. The calculus of polar functions that plays a central mathematical role is presented in a self-contained way in complete detail. Each of the six chapters is followed by an extensive problem set that deals with and also expands on the concerns of the chapter. The instructor has the flexibility to engage them with greater or lesser intensity. "I have been an aerospace engineer for 39 years and honestly, it would be hard for me to overstate how valuable I believe this book will be to numerous scientific and engineering disciplines and in particular to the future of aerospace engineering ... This book is perfectly crafted to motivate, educate, and prepare the scientists and engineers who wish to reach for the sky and beyond." --Dr. Mario Zoccoli, Aerospace Engineer, NASA and Lockheed Martin

A Guide to Numerical Modelling in Systems Biology
This book is intended for students of computational systems biology with only a limited background in mathematics. Typical books on systems biology merely mention algorithmic approaches, but without offering a deeper understanding. On the other hand, mathematical books are typically unreadable for computational biologists. The authors of the present book have worked hard to fill this gap. The result is not a book on systems biology, but on computational methods in systems biology. This book originated from courses taught by the authors at Freie Universit瓣t Berlin. The guiding idea of the courses was to convey those mathematical insights that are indispensable for systems biology, teaching the necessary mathematical prerequisites by means of many illustrative examples and without any theorems. The three chapters cover the mathematical modelling of biochemical and physiological processes, numerical simulation of the dynamics of biological networks and identification of model parameters by means of comparisons with real data. Throughout the text, the strengths and weaknesses of numerical algorithms with respect to various systems biological issues are discussed. Web addresses for downloading the corresponding software are also included.
Learning Trigonometry by Problem Solving
In this book, trigonometry is presented mainly through the solution of specific problems. The problems are meant to help the reader consolidate their knowledge of the subject. In addition, they serve to motivate and provide context for the concepts, definitions, and results as they are presented. In this way, it enables a more active mastery of the subject, directly linking the results of the theory with their applications. Some historical notes are also embedded in selected chapters.The problems in the book are selected from a variety of disciplines, such as physics, medicine, architecture, and so on. They include solving triangles, trigonometric equations, and their applications. Taken together, the problems cover the entirety of material contained in a standard trigonometry course which is studied in high school and college.We have also added some interesting, in our opinion, entertainment problems. To solve them, no special knowledge is required. While they are not directly related to the subject of the book, they reflect its spirit and contribute to a more lighthearted reading of the material.

Time-Domain Scattering
The wave equation, a classical partial differential equation, has been studied and applied since the eighteenth century. Solving it in the presence of an obstacle, the scatterer, can be achieved using a variety of techniques and has a multitude of applications. This book explains clearly the fundamental ideas of time-domain scattering, including in-depth discussions of separation of variables and integral equations. The author covers both theoretical and computational aspects, and describes applications coming from acoustics (sound waves), elastodynamics (waves in solids), electromagnetics (Maxwell's equations) and hydrodynamics (water waves). The detailed bibliography of papers and books from the last 100 years cement the position of this work as an essential reference on the topic for applied mathematicians, physicists and engineers.

A View of Connexive Logics
This book is the first ever monograph on the topic of Connexive logics, a family of non-classical logics, based on the intuition that a proposition cannot validly imply, nor be implied, by its own negation. Similar to Relevance logics, Connexive logics require a meaning connection between the antecedent and the consequent of a valid implication. The interaction between negation and conditionals, as well as with other connectives, is closer to certain uses of them in natural languages. The book is not a fully comprehensive study of Connexive logics; rather, it presents the author's own view of those logics, with emphasis on the facets of those logics that interest the author. Still, it contains enough material to familiarize the reader with those logics, understand how they originate and how they are motivated, and the proof-theoretic and model-theoretic principles underlying them. It is hoped that this book will contribute to the popularization of Connexive logics and to the growth of the, currently small, community interested in them. Nissim Francez is an emeritus professor of computer science at the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology. At a certain point in his career he moved from research related to concurrent and distributed programming and program verification to research in computational linguistics, mainly formal semantics of natural language. In recent years, he has worked on Proof-Theoretic Semantics, in particular for natural language. More recently, he has worked also on non-classical logics, including Connexive logics.

Equivariant Poincar矇 Duality on G-Manifolds
This book carefully presents a unified treatment of equivariant Poincar矇 duality in a wide variety of contexts, illuminating an area of mathematics that is often glossed over elsewhere. The approach used here allows the parallel treatment of both equivariant and nonequivariant cases. It also makes it possible to replace the usual field of coefficients for cohomology, the field of real numbers, with any field of arbitrary characteristic, and hence change (equivariant) de Rham cohomology to the usual singular (equivariant) cohomology . The book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers wanting to learn about the equivariant extension of tools familiar from non-equivariant differential geometry.

Mathematical Stories I - Graphs, Games and Proofs
With the help of tried and tested, carefully elaborated learning units, the authors convey fundamental mathematical techniques in this essential, which are important far beyond primary school. In the present volume I, path problems and word puzzles are modeled and solved using undirected and directed graphs. Simple math games are systematically analyzed and the optimal strategies are determined. Students learn to gradually reduce difficult problems to simpler ones and to provide evidence in different contexts. The tasks encourage mathematical thinking, imagination and creativity. The detailed sample solutions are designed for non-mathematicians. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Mathematische Geschichten I - Graphen, Spiele und Beweise by Susanne Schindler-Tschirner and Werner Schindler, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
