This book was released on 2010-10-08 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study discusses the history of the central limit theorem and related probabilistic limit theorems from about 1810 through 1950. In this context the book also describes the historical development of analytical probability theory and its tools, such as characteristic functions or moments. The central limit theorem was originally deduced by Laplace as a statement about approximations for the distributions of sums of independent random variables within the framework of classical probability, which focused upon specific problems and applications. Making this theorem an autonomous mathematical object was very important for the development of modern probability theory.

Download or read book Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics written by Geoffrey K. Vallis and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-11-06 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluid dynamics is fundamental to our understanding of the atmosphere and oceans. Although many of the same principles of fluid dynamics apply to both the atmosphere and oceans, textbooks tend to concentrate on the atmosphere, the ocean, or the theory of geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD). This textbook provides a comprehensive unified treatment of atmospheric and oceanic fluid dynamics. The book introduces the fundamentals of geophysical fluid dynamics, including rotation and stratification, vorticity and potential vorticity, and scaling and approximations. It discusses baroclinic and barotropic instabilities, wave-mean flow interactions and turbulence, and the general circulation of the atmosphere and ocean. Student problems and exercises are included at the end of each chapter. Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics: Fundamentals and Large-Scale Circulation will be an invaluable graduate textbook on advanced courses in GFD, meteorology, atmospheric science and oceanography, and an excellent review volume for researchers.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1669 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first ICM was held in Zürich in 1897, it has become the pinnacle of mathematical gatherings. It aims at giving an overview of the current state of different branches of mathematics and its applications as well as an insight into the treatment of special problems of exceptional importance. The proceedings of the ICMs have provided a rich chronology of mathematical development in all its branches and a unique documentation of contemporary research. They form an indispensable part of every mathematical library. The Proceedings of the International Congress of Mathematicians 1994, held in Zürich from August 3rd to 11th, 1994, are published in two volumes. Volume I contains an account of the organization of the Congress, the list of ordinary members, the reports on the work of the Fields Medalists and the Nevanlinna Prize Winner, the plenary one-hour addresses, and the invited addresses presented at Section Meetings 1 - 6. Volume II contains the invited address for Section Meetings 7 - 19. A complete author index is included in both volumes. '...the content of these impressive two volumes sheds a certain light on the present state of mathematical sciences and anybody doing research in mathematics should look carefully at these Proceedings. For young people beginning research, this is even more important, so these are a must for any serious mathematics library. The graphical presentation is, as always with Birkhäuser, excellent....'

Download or read book A Civil Society written by James Smith Allen and published by . This book was released on 2022-05 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Civil Society explores the struggle to initiate women as full participants in the masonic brotherhood that shared in the rise of France's civil society and its "civic morality" on behalf of women's rights. As a vital component of the third sector during France's modernization, freemasonry empowered women in complex social networks, contributing to a more liberal republic, a more open society, and a more engaged public culture. James Smith Allen shows that although women initially met with stiff resistance, their induction into the brotherhood was a significant step in the development of French civil society and its "civic morality," including the promotion of women's rights in the late nineteenth century. Pulling together the many gendered facets of masonry, Allen draws from periodicals, memoirs, and archival material to account for the rise of women within the masonic brotherhood in the context of rapid historical change. Thanks to women's social networks and their attendant social capital, masonry came to play a leading role in French civil society and the rethinking of gender relations in the public sphere.

Download or read book Recent Antarctic and Subantarctic Brachiopods written by Merrill W. Foster and published by American Geophysical Union. This book was released on 1974 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Antarctic Research Series, Volume 21. The Recent brachiopod faunas from southernmost South America, Antarctica, and the Subantarctic consisting of 21 genera and 37 species are described from new material. New taxa include the genera Manithyris and Bathynanus. Also new are 11 species: Compsothyris ballenyi, Hispanirhynchia? chiliensis, Manithyris rossi, Liothyrella multiporosa, Liothyrella scotti, Bathynanus tenuicostatus, Eucalathis macrorhynchus, Amphithyris hallettensis, Dallina eltanini, Fallax antarcticus, and Magellania? spinosa. Factor analysis was used to study relationships among morphological characters and environmental parameters. In Liothyrella, negative associations were found between beak height and water depth. The size of the pedicle opening within this genus is associated with the width of the hinge plate and the loop; apparently, these associations are related to increased dorsal adjustor muscle size with increased pedicle size. Similar relationships are found in the terebratellids, although here all of the characters are also negatively associated with water depth. Characters negatively associated with water depth may relate to the differing current strength at various depths. Puncta density is positively correlated with water temperature. Examples of brachiopod variation are discussed. Synonyms have resulted from former failure to study large samples and to appreciate the extent of brachiopod variation. A priori valuation of certain characters as being specific is unwarranted, since sibling species may be more similar than different subspecies of the same species. Many Recent and fossil brachiopod genera are too narrow in definition owing to oversplitting or to a narrow conception of monophyly. I advocate somewhat broader and more practical genera for obtaining the maximal information value from such taxa. Brachiopods, contrary to popular belief, are an abundant and viable group in the southern hemisphere faunas. Most brachiopods in the Ross Sea appear to have definite niches and habitats but may overlap geographically where population densities are low. Brachiopods here can be divided roughly into a slope and a shelf assemblage. The greatest species diversity occurs at the seaward edge of the Ross Sea shelf, interpreted as an ecotone effect where two different water types meet. Only South America and Antarctica appear to have or have had direct communication between some elements of their brachiopod faunas. Other similarities between separate southern continents are related to retention of common pre-Cenozoic elements or to chance dispersal of larvae across barriers. Events related to cooling during the late Pliocene or Pleistocene caused reduction of puncta density, shell thickness, and spiculation in the Recent fauna and apparently influenced the present species structure, at least in Liothyrella uva, Gyrothyris mawsoni, and Macandrevia.
