Linear Algebra is an important basic theory course in the teaching plan of higher engineering schools. It is a mathematical tool widely used in all fields of natural science and engineering technology. With the rapid development of modern science and technology and the extensive application of computer, the importance of Linear Algebra in theory and application is more prominent. This puts forward higher request to the Linear Algebra teaching content from the depth and the breadth.Linear Algebra is given priority to in order to discuss the finite dimensional linear space theory courses, with strong abstractness and logical. Since the application of Linear Algebra has gone deep into the fields of natural science, social science, engineering technology, economy, management and so on. Therefore, of course, Linear Algebra should be combined with simple discretization methods, it should be co

The Oxford Handbook of American Film History offers a series of newly-commissioned chapters on the current intellectual and topical diversity of the study of American film history. It provides a thorough look at the complex history of American cinema, and showcases a variety of historiographic practices and methods. Within each of the five chronological sections, readers will find discourse on technology, reception, exemplary films and filmmakers, the culture of celebrity, and industry policy, procedure, and regulation -- on political economy, textual representation (form, style, diversity), scientific/technological innovation, and the cultural (and subcultural) resonance of movies with their time and place. The Oxford Handbook of American Film explores the delicate and imperfect balance between art and commerce, between entertainment and commercial enterprise. Approaching the history of American film from a dialectical perspective that allows for a close look at not only the importa

A compelling new portrait of one of the ancient world滻 most famous and consequential figures By any measure, Julius Caesar is one of the most significant and well-known figures in ancient Roman history. Self-identified as a "popular" politician, he advocated for effective government to better the lives of the average Roman; however, he believed this government could not be based upon the existing democracy, which he regarded as corrupt and inefficient. It could only be through his personal management and the massive organization he built to overthrow the government that he could ensure the prosperity of all Romans. Through a careful analysis of the ancient sources, including Caesar's own writings, David Potter offers us a stunning and original portrait of the general and statesman's character and methods. He shows Caesar as a highly organized manager with an extraordinary ability to adjust to circumstances while maintaining a steady equivalent of an ancient media presence that attracte

Since its first appearance as a set of lecture notes published by the Courant Institute in 1974, this book has served as an introduction to various subjects in nonlinear functional analysis. The current edition is a reprint of these notes, with added bibliographic references.Topological and analytic methods are developed for treating nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations. The first two chapters of the book introduce the notion of topological degree and develop its basic properties. These properties are used in later chapters in the discussion of bifurcation theory （the possible branching of solutions as parameters vary）, including the proof of Rabinowitz's global bifurcation theorem. Stability of the branches is also studied. The book concludes with a presentation of some generalized implicit function theorems of Nash-Moser type with applications to Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theory and to conjugacy problems.After more than 20 years, this book continues to be an excellent

Knowledge Engineering for Innovation and Sustainability is an interdisciplinary examination, not only of knowledge engineering, but also innovation, allowing environmental scientists to gain a better understanding of technological solutions and innovative methods. It is organized in a methodical way, first by defining sustainability and innovation, then by laying out a conceptual framework. The book goes on to explore causality and systems thinking for examining a particular phenomenon, and then presents processes for analysis and design. Finally, it lays out the narrative of sustainability as well as what needs to be done to ensure the future of sustainability. By applying key concepts of innovation and knowledge engineering to sustainability problems, Knowledge Engineering for Innovation and Sustainability provides a structured approach to putting theory into practice for sustainable development.

Governing After War explores how wartime processes affects post-war state-building efforts when rebels win a civil war and come into power. Post-war governance is a continuation of war--although violence has ceased, the victor must consolidate its control over the state through a process of internal conquest. This means carefully making choices about resource allocation towards development and security. Where does the victor choose to spend, and why? And what are the implications for ultimately consolidating power and preventing conflict recurrence? The book examines wartime rebel-civilian ties under rebel governance and explains how these ties--along with rebel governing institutions--shape the rebel victors' post-war various resource allocation strategies to establish control at the sub-national level. In turn, successfully balancing resources dedicated toward development and security helps the victor to consolidate power. The book relies on mixed-methods evidence from Zimbabwe and L

Nanomaterials possess special mechanical, electrical, and electronic properties. As a result, nanomaterials play a significant role in various nanoelectromechanical systems. Some of these materials include nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, nanotube resonators, and nanoactuators. These structures are broadly utilized in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering. The dynamic analysis of nanostructures is important, because one must have knowledge about the mechanical behaviours to get an accurate prediction of dynamic characteristics. Conducting experiments at the nanoscale size is both complicated and expensive. Therefore, the development of appropriate mathematical models for the study of the dynamic behaviour of nanostructures is important. These models/problems are governed by linear/nonlinear differential equations which are not always possible to solve analytically. This deficiency compels us to search for numerical and computational methods. This book provides a detailed exp

Liquid Crystal Polymer Nanocomposites summarizes in a comprehensive manner, numerous modern technical research accomplishments on the development of nanocomposites from liquid crystalline polymers.

This thesis creates recommendations for methods to increase classroom engagement, specifically in classrooms consisting of art/design students within a dual enrollment setting. The recommendations follow the investigation of literature and the examination of studies related to engagement features of young college students who are studying graphic design. This thesis examines factors that potentially reduce classroom connectivity, and looks deeper into how those factors play a role in the engagement levels of students. It begins with a focus on overall classroom engagement followed by a closer look at engagement of early college students in the graphic design classroom. After an examination of the literature, I reveal ways instructors can improve their instruction to connect as deeply as possible with as many students as possible.
