Annotation : Includes bibliographical references (pages 66-69) Preface -- Irrational numbers and geometry -- Infinity in Greek mathematics -- Imaginary numbers -- Calculus and infinitesimals -- Continuous functions and real numbers -- From non-Euclidean Geometry to arithmetic -- Set theory and its paradoxes -- Formal systems -- Unsolvability and incompleteness This Element aims to present an outline of mathematics and its history, with particular emphasis on events that shook up its philosophy. It ranges from the discovery of irrational numbers in ancient Greece to the nineteenth- and twentieth-century discoveries on the nature of infinity and proof. Recurring themes are intuition and logic, meaning and existence, and the discrete and the continuous. These themes have evolved under the influence of new mathematical discoveries and the story of their evolution is, to a large extent, the story of philosophy of mathematics. -- Provided by publisher

Annotation : Oorspronkelijke uitgave: CATS CM® editie 2014 : contractmanagement voor opdrachtgever en leverancier / Jan van Beckum en Gert-Jan Vlasveld "Dit boek beschrijft de methode CATS CM, versie 4 voor het managen van contracten en is toe te passen binnen private en publieke organisaties, bij opdrachtgevers en leveranciers. Contractmanagement is het realiseren van de met het contract beoogde doelstellingen door tijdens de uitvoeringsfase van een contract, proactief invulling te geven aan alle contractueel vastgelegde verantwoordelijkheden, verplichtingen, procedures, afspraken, voorwaarden en tarieven, het management van de risico's, het oplossen van alle onduidelijkheden, tegenstrijdigheden en hiaten en het verzorgen van de gewenste wijzigingen in het contract. CATS CM® biedt een methodische aanpak voor contractmanagement. Het beschrijft de uitgangspunten, de rollen, de aandachtpunten voor de contractmanager en de te volgen werkwijze. Naast een beschrijving van de methode biedt CATS CM versie 4 ook handvatten voor de implementatie van contractmanagement zowel voor beleid als proces. Een groot aantal organisaties heeft CATS CM inmiddels geselecteerd als basis voor hun contractmanagementproces. Mede op basis van hun ervaringen met CATS CM is deze nieuwe versie 4 ontstaan. CATS CM 4 gaat net als voorgaande edities uit van het standpunt dat het managen van een contract in uitvoering, aan beide kanten van het contract (opdrachtgever én leverancier) sterke overeenkomsten vertoont en dus het best in samenhang wordt beschreven. Dit boek is bedoeld voor iedereen die verantwoordelijk is voor, dan wel te maken heeft met contracten in uitvoering: contractmanagers, businessmanagers, deliverymanagers, projectmanagers, servicemanagers, facilitymanagers, inkopers, inkoopmanagers, compliance managers, risicomanagers, accountmanagers, salesmanagers en HR-managers, hun directeuren en stuurgroepleden aan beide zijden van het contract."--

Mathematical recreations and abstract games -- Recreations from Euler to Lucas -- Four abstract games -- Mathematics and games: mysterious connections -- Why chess is not mathematics -- Proving versus checking -- pt. 2. Mathematics: game-like, scientific and perceptual -- Game-like mathematics -- Euclid and the rules of his geometrical game -- New concepts and new objects -- Convergent and divergent series -- Mathematics becomes game-like -- Mathematics as science -- Numbers and sequences -- Computers and mathematics -- Mathematics and the sciences -- Minimum paths: elegant simplicity -- The foundations: perception, imagination and insight -- Structure -- Hidden structure, common structure -- Mathematics and beauty -- Origins: formality in the everyday world "The appeal of games and puzzles is timeless and universal. In this unique book, David Wells explores the fascinating connections between games and mathematics, proving that mathematics is not just about tedious calculation but imagination, insight and intuition. The first part of the book introduces games, puzzles and mathematical recreations, including the Tower of Hanoi, knight tours on a chessboard, Nine Men's Morris and more. The second part explains how thinking about playing games can mirror the thinking of a mathematician, using scientific investigation, tactics and strategy, and sharp observation. Finally the author considers game-like features found in a wide range of human behaviours, illuminating the role of mathematics and helping to explain why it exists at all. This thought-provoking book is perfect for anyone with a thirst for mathematics and its hidden beauty; a good high school grounding in mathematics is all the background that's required, and the puzzles and games will suit pupils from 14 years."--Back cover

Annotation : Includes bibliographical references and index "Longitudinal data consists of a series of repeated observations of the same subjects over an extended time frame and are thus useful for measuring change. Such studies arise in a variety of fields, such as health sciences, genomic studies, experimental physics, sociology, sports and student enrollment in universities. Many challenges can arise in longitudinal studies. For example, in health studies, the intrasubject correlation of responses must be accounted for, covariates can vary with time, and bias can arise due to patients dropping out of the study.

Are human activities responsible for the observed changes? -- 3.3. What further changes are likely? Predicting Twenty-First Century climate change -- 3.4. What will the impacts of climate change be? -- 3.5. Contrary claims -- 3.6 Conclusions -- 4. Climate change policy : impacts, assessments, and responses -- 4.1. Impacts and adaptation -- 4.2. Emissions and mitigation responses -- 4.3. The third response : climate engineering -- 4.4. Choosing a path : balancing benefits and costs of mitigation and adaptation -- 4.5. Conclusion : technology and policy for a climate-safe transition -- 5. Climate policy and politics in 2019, and a path forward -- 5.1. Climate-change politics : current policies and positions -- 5.2. Climate-change politics : remaining arguments against action -- 5.3. So what should be done? Recommendations for an effective response -- 5.4. Conclusion This third edition has been comprehensively updated to reflect the large changes in scientific knowledge and policy debates on climate change since the previous edition in 2009. It provides a concise but thorough overview of the science, technology, economics, policy, and politics of climate change in a single volume. It explains how scientific and policy debates work, outlines the scientific evidence for the reality and seriousness of climate change and the basic atmospheric science that supports it, and discusses policy options and the current state of the policy debate. By pulling these elements together, the book explains why the issue can be so confusing and provides guidance on practical routes forward. Anyone interested in climate change, the global environment, or how science is used in policy debates should read this book. It is the ideal textbook for undergraduate or graduate courses in environmental policy and climate change

Annotation : Includes bibliographical references (pages 69-72) 1. Early Wittgenstein's reconfiguration of Frege's and Russell's logic -- 2. Later Wittgenstein's rethinking of the Tractatus' philosophy of logic -- 3. Later Wittgenstein's new logical methods -- 4. Doing justice to the complexities of language : Wittgenstein on names "This Element outlines Wittgenstein's early and later philosophies of logic, and explains Wittgenstein's views regarding the methodological significance of logic for philosophy. Wittgenstein's early philosophy of logic is presented as a further development of Frege's and Russell's accounts of logic, and Wittgenstein's later philosophy as a response to problems with his early views, including confusions about idealization and abstraction in logic. The later Wittgenstein's novel logical methods, such as the method of language-games, are outlined, and the new kind of logical naturalism developed in his later philosophy described"--
