Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Rich in titles on English life and social history, this collection spans the world as it was known to eighteenth-century historians and explorers. Titles include a wealth of travel accounts and diaries, histories of nations from throughout the world, and maps and charts of a world that was still being discovered. Students of the War of American Independence will find fascinating accounts from the British side of conflict.

Product Description
Studies the use of scientific computation as a tool in attacking a number of mathematical problems and conjectures.In this case, scientific computation refers primarily to computations that are carried out with a large number of significant digits, for calculations associated with a variety of numerical techniques such as the (second) Remez algorithm in polynomial and rational approximation theory, Richardson extrapolation of sequences of numbers, the accurate finding of zeros of polynomials of large degree, and the numerical approximation of integrals by quadrature techniques.

The goal of this book is not to delve into the specialized field dealing with the creation of robust and reliable software needed to implement these high-precision calculations, but rather to emphasize the enormous power that existing software brings to the mathematician's arsenal of weapons for attacking mathematical problems and conjectures.

Scientific Computation on Mathematical Problems and Conjectures includes studies of the Bernstein Conjecture of 1913 in polynomial approximation theory, the "1/9" Conjecture of 1977 in rational approximation theory, the famous Riemann Hypothesis of 1859, and the Polya Conjecture of 1927.The emphasis of this monograph rests strongly on the interplay between hard analysis and high precision calculations. ...

Earthtalks:Conjectures on the Spirit Journey is a collectionof talks given by Charles Finn to the congregations of two churches in the Roanoke Valley, Unity and Divine Sciences,between 1983 and 1997.¿ While Finn's ownsense is that these talks are religious to the core, they do not espouse anyparticular creed or dogma (not surprisingly, the churches inviting him to speakincline away from doctrinal orthodoxy).¿Enough of the talks touch directly upon natural phenomena, and containpassing if not extensive reference to Native American spirituality, to warrantthe inclusion of Earth in the title.Those understanding life to be ajourney of spirit - grounded in wonder, deepening in trust, circle of inclusionever widening, in and out of darkness and light, of seeking and finding andlosing and seeking anew, of dying and being reborn - may resonate with theconjectures that follow from a companion on the stupendous journey. ...

Product Description
The Baum-Connes conjecture is part of A. Connes' non-commutative geometry program. It can be viewed as a conjectural generalization of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem, to the equivariant setting (the ambient manifold is not compact, but some compactness is restored by means of a proper, co-compact action of a group G).

Like the Atiyah-Singer theorem, the Baum-Connes conjecture states that a purely topological object coincides with a purely analytical one. For a given group G, the topological object is the equivariant K-homology of the classifying space for proper actions of G, while the analytical object is the K-theory of the C*-algebra associated with G in its regular representation.

The Baum-Connes conjecture implies several other classical conjectures, ranging from differential topology to pure algebra.

This book is intended for graduate students and researchers in geometry (commutative or not), group theory, algebraic topology, harmonic analysis, and operator algebras. It presents, for the first time in book form, an introduction to the Baum-Connes conjecture. It starts by defining carefully the objects in both sides of the conjecture, then the assembly map that connects them. Thereafter, it illustrates the main tool to attack the conjecture (Kasparov's theory), and it concludes with a rough sketch of V. Lafforgue's proof of the conjecture for co-compact lattices in Sp(n,1), SL(3,3) and SL(3,"). ... Read more

Product Description
Together with a companion volume Europe, this is an outgrowth of the author's extensive diplomatic experience particularly in Russia and Spain. More than a "survey," Everett's treatment of the interrelationships among the United States, South America, England and Europe concerns long-range economic forecasts. It presents a coherent vision of a world system in which the doctrine of progress is fundamental--progress fueled by colonization, equitable distribution of property (especially land), population increase and increase in the means of subsistence. ...

Product Description
The collection aims to provide for Lowth and Astruc not only an account and evaluation of their life and work but also an understanding of the wider intellectual context of their scholarship and the reception and influence of their work ever since. The year 1753 saw the publication of two major works of Old Testament scholarship: Robert Lowth's "On the Sacred Poetry of the Hebrews" and Jean Astruc's "Conjectures on Genesis" (published anonymously when Astruc was Professor of Medicine at the College Royal in Paris). Both these works have had considerable repercussions in biblical study down to the present day. Indeed, they may be said to have inaugurated modern critical approaches to biblical poetry and prose, respectively, of the Old Testament. To mark and reflect upon the 250th anniversary of the publication of these volumes, the University of Oxford hosted a "Sacred Conjectures" conference in 2003. An international group of scholars gathered to discuss the context and legacy of Lowth's and Astruc's seminal contributions to the field of biblical scholarship; the majority of the papers presented at the conference appear in this volume. ...
