Dunce Academy - Volume 1 - Under the School

By: Nicolas Bary,Nina Phillips

St. Joseph’s Academy is the best of the best, a boarding school with unrivaled test scores and exemplary discipline. Or so it seems... For under the school lies a carefully hidden secret basement, built by the principal, with rooms containing grueling tests intended to put the worst and most uncooperative students back on the right path. The children sent there reemerge as perfect model students, with the desire to never return. Thankfully, a group of creative so-called “dunces” decide to combine their individual talents and fight back...

Carleman Inequalities

An Introduction and More

By: Nicolas Lerner

Over the past 25 years, Carleman estimates have become an essential tool in several areas related to partial differential equations such as control theory, inverse problems, or fluid mechanics. This book provides a detailed exposition of the basic techniques of Carleman Inequalities, driven by applications to various questions of unique continuation. Beginning with an elementary introduction to the topic, including examples accessible to readers without prior knowledge of advanced mathematics, the book's first five chapters contain a thorough exposition of the most classical results, such as Calderón's and Hörmander's theorems. Later chapters explore a selection of results of the last four decades around the themes of continuation for elliptic equations, with the Jerison-Kenig estimates for strong unique continuation, counterexamples to Cauchy uniqueness of Cohen and Alinhac & Baouendi, operators with partially analytic coefficients with intermediate results between Holmgren's and Hörmander's uniqueness theorems, Wolff's modification of Carleman's method, conditional pseudo-convexity, and more. With examples and special cases motivating the general theory, as well as appendices on mathematical background, this monograph provides an accessible, self-contained basic reference on the subject, including a selection of the developments of the past thirty years in unique continuation.

Principles of Rock Deformation and Tectonics

By: Jean-Luc Bouchez,Adolphe Nicolas

This book originates in the French classic "Principes de Tectonique" (Masson, 1983), written by professor Adolphe Nicolas, and the more recent "Principes de Tectonique" by J.L. Bouchez and A. Nicolas (De Boeck, 2018). This English edition is an up-to-date and augmented version that keeps the concise and rigorous writing of its inspiring predecessors. It is largely based on laboratory and field experience of both authors, with a focus towards hard rocks and magmatic rocks from both the continental crust worldwide and the mantle, principally from the Oman ophiolites. The book includes more than 250 illustrations, most of them original. In addition to classic geological subjects, the book includes elements such as plastic deformation of ice, quartz and olivine, fabric acquisition in rocks and magmas, measurement and orientation of stress, together with basic background information on neotectonics, geophysics and other practical tools such as magnetic fabrics not commonly treated in geological books. Since the targeted readers are present day young students, a few exercises of structural geology are included to improve their abilities. This book aims principally at students of Geology, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. However, due to its numerous illustrations and rather concise writing, anyone interested in rock deformation and/or tectonics will find key answers in this book.

Metaheuristics for Air Traffic Management

By: Nicolas Durand,David Gianazza,Jean-Baptiste Gotteland,Jean-Marc Alliot

Air Traffic Management involves many different services such as Airspace Management, Air Traffic Flow Management and Air Traffic Control. Many optimization problems arise from these topics and they generally involve different kinds of variables, constraints, uncertainties. Metaheuristics are often good candidates to solve these problems. The book models various complex Air Traffic Management problems such as airport taxiing, departure slot allocation, en route conflict resolution, airspace and route design. The authors detail the operational context and state of art for each problem. They introduce different approaches using metaheuristics to solve these problems and when possible, compare their performances to existing approaches

Cocycles de groupe pour $mathrm {GL}_n$ et arrangements d?hyperplans

By: Nicolas Bergeron,Pierre Charollois,Luis E. Garc¡a

Ce livre constitue un expos‚ d‚taill‚ de la s‚rie de cours donn‚s en 2020 par le Prof. Nicolas Bergeron, titulaire de la Chaire Aisenstadt au CRM de Montr‚al. L'objet de ce texte est une ample g‚n‚ralisation d'une famille d'identit‚s classiques, notamment la formule d'addition de la fonction cotangente ou celle des s‚ries d'Eisenstein. Le livre relie ces identit‚s … la cohomologie de certains sous-groupes arithm‚tiques du groupe lin‚aire g‚n‚ral. Il rend explicite ces relations au moyen de la th‚orie des symboles modulaires de rang sup‚rieur, d‚voilant finalement un lien concret entre des objets de nature topologique et alg‚brique. This book provides a detailed exposition of the material presented in a series of lectures given in 2020 by Prof. Nicolas Bergeron while he held the Aisenstadt Chair at the CRM in Montr‚al. The topic is a broad generalization of certain classical identities such as the addition formulas for the cotangent function and for Eisenstein series. The book relates these identities to the cohomology of arithmetic subgroups of the general linear group. It shows that the relations can be made explicit using the theory of higher rank modular symbols, ultimately unveiling a concrete link between topological and algebraic objects. I think that the text ?Cocycles de groupe pour $mathrm{GL}_n$ et arrangements d'hyperplans? is terrific. I like how it begins in a leisurely, enticing way with an elementary example that neatly gets to the topic. The construction of these ?meromorphic function?-valued modular symbols are fundamental objects, and play (and will continue to play) an important role. ?Barry Mazur, Harvard University

R for Statistics

By: Pierre-Andre Cornillon,Arnaud Guyader,Francois Husson,Nicolas Jegou,Julie Josse,Maela Kloareg,Eric Matzner-Lober,Laurent Rouvière

Although there are currently a wide variety of software packages suitable for the modern statistician, R has the triple advantage of being comprehensive, widespread, and free. Published in 2008, the second edition of Statistiques avec R enjoyed great success as an R guidebook in the French-speaking world. Translated and updated, R for Statistics includes a number of expanded and additional worked examples. Organized into two sections, the book focuses first on the R software, then on the implementation of traditional statistical methods with R. Focusing on the R software, the first section covers: Basic elements of the R software and data processing Clear, concise visualization of results, using simple and complex graphs Programming basics: pre-defined and user-created functions The second section of the book presents R methods for a wide range of traditional statistical data processing techniques, including: Regression methods Analyses of variance and covariance Classification methods Exploratory multivariate analysis Clustering methods Hypothesis tests After a short presentation of the method, the book explicitly details the R command lines and gives commented results. Accessible to novices and experts alike, R for Statistics is a clear and enjoyable resource for any scientist. Datasets and all the results described in this book are available on the book’s webpage at http://www.agrocampus-ouest.fr/math/RforStat

A Graduate Introduction to Numerical Methods

From the Viewpoint of Backward Error Analysis

By: Robert M. Corless,Nicolas Fillion

This book provides an extensive introduction to numerical computing from the viewpoint of backward error analysis. The intended audience includes students and researchers in science, engineering and mathematics. The approach taken is somewhat informal owing to the wide variety of backgrounds of the readers, but the central ideas of backward error and sensitivity (conditioning) are systematically emphasized. The book is divided into four parts: Part I provides the background preliminaries including floating-point arithmetic, polynomials and computer evaluation of functions; Part II covers numerical linear algebra; Part III covers interpolation, the FFT and quadrature; and Part IV covers numerical solutions of differential equations including initial-value problems, boundary-value problems, delay differential equations and a brief chapter on partial differential equations. The book contains detailed illustrations, chapter summaries and a variety of exercises as well some Matlab codes provided online as supplementary material. “I really like the focus on backward error analysis and condition. This is novel in a textbook and a practical approach that will bring welcome attention." Lawrence F. Shampine A Graduate Introduction to Numerical Methods and Backward Error Analysis” has been selected by Computing Reviews as a notable book in computing in 2013. Computing Reviews Best of 2013 list consists of book and article nominations from reviewers, CR category editors, the editors-in-chief of journals, and others in the computing community.

Mining for Strategic Competitive Intelligence

Foundations and Applications

By: Cai-Nicolas Ziegler

The textbook at hand aims to provide an introduction to the use of automated methods for gathering strategic competitive intelligence. Hereby, the text does not describe a singleton research discipline in its own right, such as machine learning or Web mining. It rather contemplates an application scenario, namely the gathering of knowledge that appears of paramount importance to organizations, e.g., companies and corporations. To this end, the book first summarizes the range of research disciplines that contribute to addressing the issue, extracting from each those grains that are of utmost relevance to the depicted application scope. Moreover, the book presents systems that put these techniques to practical use (e.g., reputation monitoring platforms) and takes an inductive approach to define the gestalt of mining for competitive strategic intelligence by selecting major use cases that are laid out and explained in detail. These pieces form the first part of the book. Each of those use cases is backed by a number of research papers, some of which are contained in its largely original version in the second part of the monograph.

Solvay

History of a Multinational Family Firm

By: Kenneth Bertrams,Nicolas Coupain,Ernst Homburg

Ernest Solvay, philanthropist and organizer of the world-famous Solvay conferences on physics, discovered a profitable way of making soda ash in 1861. Together with a handful of associates, he laid the foundations of the Solvay company, which successfully branched out into other chemicals, plastics and pharmaceuticals. Since its emergence in 1863, Solvay has maintained world leadership in the production of soda ash. This is the first scholarly book on the history of the Solvay company, which was one of the earliest chemical multinationals and today is among the world's twenty largest chemical companies. It is also one of the largest companies in the field to preserve its family character. The authors analyze the company's 150-year history (1863–2013) from economic, political and social perspectives, showing the enormous impact geopolitical events had on the company and the recent consequences of global competition.

Multiple Perspectives on the Study of Life

Biopolitics, Bioethics, Aesthetics

By: Lema Habash, Nicolas,Chirolla Ospina, Gustavo

The infinite multiplicity of existing life forms calls for equally multiple approaches to studying the living. However, no approach will ever be capable of exhausting the various perspectives required for research on life. This impossibility is not only given by the unmanageable task of establishing an infinitely multidisciplinary approach but also by the diverse and ever-changing subject matters that can potentially fall under the category of the living. This book is nevertheless an e ort in that direction: acknowledging a multiplicity of ways in which life forms may be studied, and a diversity of disciplinary perspectives suited for this task.

An Introduction to Comets

Post-Rosetta Perspectives

By: Nicolas Thomas

Written by a leading expert on comets, this textbook is divided into seven main elements with a view to allowing advanced students to appreciate the interconnections between the different elements. The author opens with a brief introductory segment on the motivation for studying comets and the overall scope of the book. The first chapter describes fundamental aspects most usually addressed by ground-based observation. The author then looks at the basic physical phenomena in four separate chapters addressing the nucleus, the emitted gas, the emitted dust, and the solar wind interaction. Each chapter introduces the basic physics and chemistry but then new specific measurements by Rosetta instruments at comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko are brought in. A concerted effort has been made to distinguish between established fact and conjecture. Deviations and inconsistencies are brought out and their significance explained. Links to previous observations of comets Tempel 1, Wild 2, Hartley 2, Halley and others are made. The author then closes with three smaller chapters on related objects, the loss of comets, and prospects for future exploration. This textbook includes over 275 graphics and figures – most of which are original. Thorough explanations and derivations are included throughout the chapters. The text is therefore designed to support MSc. students and new PhD students in the field wanting to gain a solid overview of the state-of-the-art.
