Nationalism - Theory, Ideology, History 2e Polity Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

For the last two centuries, nationalism has been a central feature of society and politics. Few ideologies can match its power and resonance, and no other political movement and symbolic language has such worldwide appeal and resilience. But nationalism is also a form of public culture and political religion, which draws on much older cultural and symbolic forms.§Seeking to do justice to these different facets of nationalism, the second edition of this popular and respected overview has been revised and updated with contemporary developments and the latest scholarly work. It aims to provide a concise and accessible introduction to the core concepts and varieties of nationalist ideology; a clear analysis of the major competing paradigms and theories of nations and nationalism; a critical account of the often opposed histories and periodization of the nation and nationalism; and an assessment of the prospects of nationalism and its continued global power and persistence.§Broad and comparative in scope, the book is strongly interdisciplinary, drawing on ideas and insights from history, political science, sociology and anthropology. The focus is theoretical, but it also includes a fresh examination of some of the main historical and contemporary empirical contributions to the literature on the subject. It will continue to be an invaluable resource for students of nationalism across the social sciences.

Mathematical Foundations of Game Theory Springer, Berlin

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This book gives a concise presentation of the mathematical foundations of Game Theory, with an emphasis on strategic analysis linked to information and dynamics. It is largely self-contained, with all of the key tools and concepts defined in the text. Combining the basics of Game Theory, such as value existence theorems in zero-sum games and equilibrium existence theorems for non-zero-sum games, with a selection of important and more recent topics such as the equilibrium manifold and learning dynamics, the book quickly takes the reader close to the state of the art. Applications to economics, biology, and learning are included, and the exercises, which often contain noteworthy results, provide an important complement to the text. Based on lectures given in Paris over several years, this textbook will be useful for rigorous, up-to-date courses on the subject. Apart from an interest in strategic thinking and a taste for mathematical formalism, the only prerequisite for reading the book is a solid knowledge of mathematics at the undergraduate level, including basic analysis, linear algebra, and probability.

Bayesian Statistics - An Introduction 4e John Wiley & Sons Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Bayesian Statistics is the school of thought that combines prior beliefs with the likelihood of a hypothesis to arrive at posterior beliefs. The first edition of Peter Lee's book appeared in 1989, but the subject has moved ever onwards, with increasing emphasis on Monte Carlo based techniques. This new fourth edition looks at recent techniques such as variational methods, Bayesian importance sampling, approximate Bayesian computation and Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC), providing a concise account of the way in which the Bayesian approach to statistics develops as well as how it contrasts with the conventional approach. The theory is built up step by step, and important notions such as sufficiency are brought out of a discussion of the salient features of specific examples. This edition: Includes expanded coverage of Gibbs sampling, including more numerical examples and treatments of OpenBUGS, R2WinBUGS and R2OpenBUGS. Presents significant new material on recent techniques such as Bayesian importance sampling, variational Bayes, Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) and Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC).Provides extensive examples throughout the book to complement the theory presented. Accompanied by a supporting website featuring new material and solutions. More and more students are realizing that they need to learn Bayesian statistics to meet their academic and professional goals. This book is best suited for use as a main text in courses on Bayesian statistics for third and fourth year undergraduates and postgraduate students.

Quantum Field Theory I Springer International Publishing AG

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This§textbook covers a broad spectrum of developments in QFT, emphasizing those aspects§that are now well consolidated and for which satisfactory theoretical§descriptions have been provided. The book is unique in that it offers a new§approach to the subject and explores many topics merely touched upon, if§covered at all, in standard reference works.§§A detailed and largely non-technical introductory chapter§traces the development of QFT from its inception in 1926. The§elegant functional differential approach put forward by§Schwinger, referred to as the quantum dynamical (action) principle, and§its underlying theory are used systematically in order to generate§the so-called vacuum-to-vacuum transition amplitude of both abelian and§non-abelian gauge theories, in addition to Feynman's well-known functional§integral approach, referred to as the path-integral approach. Given§the wealth of information also to be found in the abelian case, equal§importance is put on both abelian and non-abelian gauge theories.§§Particular§emphasis is placed on the concept of a quantum field and its particle§content to provide an appropriate description of physical processes at§high energies, where relativity becomes indispensable. Moreover, quantum§mechanics implies that a wave function renormalization arises in the QFT§field independent of any perturbation theory - a point not sufficiently§emphasized in the literature. The book provides§an overview of all the fields encountered in present high-energy§physics, together with the details of the underlying derivations. Further,§it presents "deep inelastic" experiments as a fundamental§application of quantum chromodynamics.§§Though§the author makes a point of deriving points in detail, the book still requires good§background knowledge of quantum mechanics, including the Dirac Theory, as well§as elements of the Klein-Gordon equation.

Introduction To Stochastic Calculus With Applications (3rd Edition) IMPERIAL COLLEGE PRESS

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This book presents a concise and rigorous treatment of stochastic calculus. It also gives its main applications in finance, biology and engineering. In finance, the stochastic calculus is applied to pricing options by no arbitrage. In biology, it is applied to populations' models, and in engineering it is applied to filter signal from noise. Not everything is proved, but enough proofs are given to make it a mathematically rigorous exposition. This book aims to present the theory of stochastic calculus and its applications to an audience which possesses only a basic knowledge of calculus and probability. It may be used as a textbook by graduate and advanced undergraduate students in stochastic processes, financial mathematics and engineering. It is also suitable for researchers to gain working knowledge of the subject. It contains many solved examples and exercises making it suitable for self study. In the book many of the concepts are introduced through worked-out examples, eventually leading to a complete, rigorous statement of the general result, and either a complete proof, a partial proof or a reference.Using such structure, the text will provide a mathematically literate reader with rapid introduction to the subject and its advanced applications. This book covers models in mathematical finance, biology and engineering. For mathematicians, this book can be used as a first text on stochastic calculus or as a companion to more rigorous texts by a way of examples and exercises.
