![]() Restaging the Past : Historical Pageants, Culture and Society in Modern Britain by Angela Bartie, Linda Fleming ![]() Imogen Peck, "Recollection in the Republics: Memories of the British Civil Wars in England, 1649-1659" English | ISBN: 0198845588 | 2021 | 256 pages | PDF | 2 MB Following the execution of Charles I in January 1649, England's fledgling republic was faced with a dilemma: which parts of the nation's bloody recent past should be remembered, and how, and which were best consigned to oblivion? Across the country, the state's opponents, local communities, ![]() Mark Blitz, "Reason and Politics: The Nature of Political Phenomena" English | ISBN: 0268109125 | 2021 | 202 pages | PDF | 2 MB Reason and Politics explores the central phenomena of political life and, therefore, of human affairs in general. ![]() English | 2021 | ISBN: 981124345X | 536 pages | True (PDF EPUB) | 58.41 MB Randomness is an active element relevant to all scientific activities. The book explores the way in which randomness suffuses the human experience, starting with everyday chance events, followed by developments into modern probability theory, statistical mechanics, scientific data analysis, quantum mechanics, and quantum gravity. An accessible introduction to these theories is provided as a basis for going into deeper topics.Fowler unveils the influence of randomness in the two pillars of science, measurement and theory. Some emphasis is placed on the need and methods for optimal characterization of uncertainty. An example of the cost of neglecting this is the St. Petersburg Paradox, a theoretical game of chance with an infinite expected payoff value. The role of randomness in quantum mechanics reveals another particularly interesting finding: that in order for the physical universe to function as it does and permit conscious beings within it to enjoy sanity, irreducible randomness is necessary at the quantum level.The book employs a certain level of mathematics to describe physical reality in a more precise way that avoids the tendency of nonmathematical descriptions to be occasionally misleading. Thus, it is most readily digested by young students who have taken at least a class in introductory calculus, or professional scientists and engineers curious about the book's topics as a result of hearing about them in popular media. Readers not inclined to savor equations should be able to skip certain technical sections without losing the general flow of ideas. Still, it is hoped that even readers who usually avoid equations will give those within these pages a chance, as they may be surprised at how potentially foreboding concepts fall into line when one makes a legitimate attempt to follow a succession of mathematical implications.

Basic concepts of free probability are introduced by analogy with classical probability in a lucid and quick manner. It then develops the results on the convergence of large dimensional random matrices, with a special focus on the interesting connections to free probability. The book assumes almost no prerequisite for the most part. However, familiarity with the basic convergence concepts in probability and a bit of mathematical maturity will be helpful. Combinatorial properties of non-crossing partitions, including the Möbius function play a central role in introducing free probability. ![]() Python Comprehensive & Quick By Bob Beechey English | 2021 | ASIN : B097BJFFW1 | 295 pages | PDF, EPUB | 9.5 MB ![]() English | 2021 | ISBN: 9811234574 | 419 pages | True (PDF EPUB) | 31.92 MB This book provides a theoretical discussion of pulse width modulation (PWM) in power electronic inverters. Pulse width modulation is widely used for the frequency control of speed of ac motors, the design of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) as well as the integration of renewable energy sources into existing power grid systems. PWM technique is based on approximation of sinusoidal waveforms by sequences (trains) of rectangular pulses whose widths are properly modulated. This width-modulation results in the suppression of low order harmonics at the expense of amplification of high order harmonics which are suppressed by energy-storage elements in load circuits. The discussion covers various PWM techniques with a focus on the optimal time-domain PWM techniques proposed by the authors. [center] ![]() A. Cendel Karaman, "Professional Learning and Identities in Teaching: International Narratives of Successful Teachers " English | ISBN: 0367463598 | 2021 | 220 pages | PDF | 3 MB This book explores the reflective potentialities offered by analyses of teachers' professional learning narratives. The book has a specific focus on narratives on professional learning and professional identities emerging from different contexts and gives a deeper understanding of successful teachers' narratives globally. ![]() Emiliano Trizio, "Philosophy's Nature: Husserl's Phenomenology, Natural Science, and Metaphysics: Husserl's Phenomenology, Natural Science" English | ISBN: 0367439123 | 2020 | 324 pages | PDF | 2 MB This book offers a systematic interpretation of the relation between natural science and metaphysics in Husserl's phenomenology. It shows that Husserl's account of scientific knowledge is a radical alternative to established methods and frameworks in contemporary philosophy of science. ![]() Jo Brownlee, "Personal Epistemology and Teacher Education " English | ISBN: 0415883563 | 2011 | 310 pages | PDF | 3 MB Personal Epistemology and Teacher Education, edited by Joanne Brownlee, Gregg Schraw and Donna Berthelsen, provides an international perspective on teachers' personal epistemology, or beliefs about the nature of knowledge and knowing. Research from The Netherlands, Cyprus, Australia, United States, Canada, Norway, and Taiwan is presented to provide diverse viewpoints on personal epistemology for early childhood, primary, secondary and tertiary teaching contexts. |
