 Free Download A History of Six Ideas: An Essay in Aesthetics by Władysław Tatarkiewicz English | PDF | 1980 | 395 Pages | ISBN : 9400988079 | 44.2 MB The history of aesthetics, like the histories of other sciences, may be treated in a two-fold manner: as the history of the men who created the field of study, or as the history of the questions that have been raised and resolved in the course of its pursuit. The earlier History of Aesthetics (3 volumes, 1960-68, English-language edition 1970-74) by the author of the present book was a history of men, of writers and artists who in centuries past have spoken up concerning beauty and art, form and crea tivity. The present book returns to the same subject, but treats it in a different way: as the history of aesthetic questions, concepts, theories. The matter of the two books, the previous and the present, is in part the same; but only in part: for the earlier book ended with the 17th century, while the present one brings the subject up to our own times. And from the 18th century to the 20th much happened in aesthetics; it was only in that period that aesthetics achieved recognition as a separate science, received a name of its own, and produced theories that early scholars and artists had never dreamed of.  Free Download A History of NATO - The First Fifty Years: Volume 3 by Gustav Schmidt (Professor in International Politics) English | PDF | 2001 | 488 Pages | ISBN : N/A | 50.8 MB NATO - The First 50 Years offers the first comprehensive study of the institution's activities and development over the past five decades. Written by a team of international scholars, it analyses the factors which have made NATO the most successful politico-military alliance in history. It also addresses the perennial problems of transatlantic relationships, the problems that the Alliance grapples with today. A wide-ranging and masterful survey, NATO-The First 50 Years will be a useful reference work for researchers as well as an accessible guide for students.  Free Download A History of Epidemiologic Methods and Concepts by Alfredo Morabia English | PDF | 2004 | 408 Pages | ISBN : 3764368187 | 41.6 MB Methods, just as diseases or scientists, have their own history. It is important for scientists to be aware of the genesis of the methods they use and of the context in which they were developed.  Free Download A History of Britain, 1885-1939 by John Davis English | PDF | 1999 | 309 Pages | ISBN : 0333420632 | 31.7 MB The period between 1885 and 1939 was a pivotal half century in British history, in which the Victorian political system yielded to a system far more recognisably modern, in response to popular pressure for social reform and the implications of global superpower status. Dr Davis relates these political developments to the background of social and economic change and to the consequences of Britain's position as an imperial power. Drawing extensively upon the new historical scholarship of the 1980s and 1990s, John Davis presents an original analysis of political change in a crucial period of Britain's recent past.  Free Download A History of Algebraic and Differential Topology, 1900 - 1960 by Jean Dieudonné English | PDF | 2009 | 666 Pages | ISBN : 0817649069 | 167.3 MB Since the early part of the 20th century, topology has gradually spread to many other branches of mathematics, and this book demonstrates how the subject continues to play a central role in the field. Written by a world-renowned mathematician, this classic text traces the history of algebraic topology beginning with its creation in the early 1900s and describes in detail the important theories that were discovered before 1960. Through the work of Poincaré, de Rham, Cartan, Hureqicz, and many others, this historical book also focuses on the emergence of new ideas and methods that have led 21st-century mathematicians towards new research directions.  Free Download A History of Algebra: From al-Khwārizmī to Emmy Noether by Bartel Leenert Waerden English | PDF | 1985 | 279 Pages | ISBN : 3642516017 | 22 MB Review  Free Download A Guide to Maple by Ernic Kamerich English | PDF | 1999 | 345 Pages | ISBN : 0387941169 | 18.6 MB This "hands-on" book is for people who are interested in immediately putting Maple to work. The reader is provided with a compact, fast and surveyable guide that introduces them to the extensive capabilities of the software. The book is sufficient for standard use of Maple and will provide techniques for extending Maple for more specialized work. The author discusses the reliability of results systematically and presents ways of testing questionable results. The book allows a reader to become a user almost immediately and helps him/her to grow gradually to a broader and more proficient use. As a consequence, some subjects are dealt with in an introductory way early in the book, with references to a more detailed discussion later on.  Free Download A Framework for AI-Made Mistakes in German and English Contract Law by Turkhan Ismayilzada English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 221 Pages | ISBN : 3031619986 | 7 MB This book tries to answer the question "What happens if an AI system makes a mistake while contracting?" by applying an interdisciplinary and comparative legal methodology. It offers a tantalizing glimpse into the intricate web of legal, psychological, and technical phenomena involved, and how they are interconnected within the realm of contractual mistake doctrine as we know it today.
 Free Download A Formal Background to Mathematics 2a: A Critical Approach to Elementary Analysis by Robert Edwards English | PDF | 1980 | 651 Pages | ISBN : 0387905138 | 29 MB This volume is devoted to a treatment of some of the fundamentals of elementary analysis (including what is usually described as "calculus") and a critique of the expositions to be found in typical high school and other conventionally informal texts. Attention is concentrated upon elementary analysis, since it is the major portion of mathematics at the high school stage and, more importantly, is the portion fraught with more of the fundamentally difficult concepts (limits and convergence in various guises). Other topics, such as fragments of linear algebra, probability and statistics, sometimes treated in high school texts, have been ignored on tile grounds that they are not so heavily laden with basic mathematical difficulties (though some exhibit problems which are not basically mathematical). Also omitted from the main text is all consideration of the use and abuse of calculators as an alleged aid in "getting across" the concepts of limit and calculus (but see the Epilogue (iv)). Another omission is the absence of any reference to t;le poss i bil it) (taken up by some writers) of adopting the concepts and techniques of non-standard analysis with the same end in view. (This is a bold and interesting idea; but its execution seems to me to demand extreme caution, if it is not to back-fire and foster more misunderstanding than it eliminates.)
 Free Download A Few Tens au Scale Physical and Chemical Structures Around Young Low-Mass Protostars by Yoko Oya English | EPUB (True) | 2022 | 219 Pages | ISBN : 9811917078 | 116.3 MB This book characterizes the kinematic and chemical structures of disk-forming regions around low-mass protostellar sources and their interplay based on Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations. It describes the chemical evolution of molecules formed in an interstellar gas using the ALMA observations of 5 Sun-like protostars at a spatial resolution of a few tens au scale, which unveils the physical mechanism of star and planetary formation. |
