Medieval and Renaissance Drama in England is an international journal committed to the publication of essays and reviews relevant to drama and theatre history to 1642. This issue includes eight new articles and reviews of seven books.

Many people on the fringes of mainstream church have found labyrinths to be a way to focus their prayers and explore their own spirituality in a non-judgmental and open setting. This book includes ideas for using labyrinths in different settings, such as with children, the elderly and with seasonal emphases at different times of the year.

Quantum mechanics and the theory of operators on Hilbert space have been deeply linked since their beginnings in the early twentieth century. States of a quantum system correspond to certain elements of the configuration space and observables correspond to certain operators on the space. This book is a brief, but self-contained, introduction to the mathematical methods of quantum mechanics, with a view towards applications to Schrödinger opera...

The fourth edition of this best-selling book is a comprehensive update organised to assist education abroad professionals in all stages of their career. Extensive chapters on comprehensive internationalisation, partnerships and advocacy, and post-study abroad advising have been added, while a significant section is devoted to health, safety, and risk management.

BY 2020, the global map of higher education will be completely redrawn, and by 2030, China is expected to emerge as the world's largest source of brainpower. The European Union should not necessarily view this development as a threat, but rather it can be seen as an opportunity for the EU to become more competitive in attracting foreign human capital. The quality of human capital in the form of university graduates is well-developed in the EU,...

From fundamentals to present AVO, this volume includes: Gassmann's equations and fluid substitution, Zoeppritz equations approximations, seismic amplitudes and processing considerations, interpretation techniques, the influence of anisotropy, the use of AVO inversion, the estimation of uncertainty, converted-wave AVO, and the future of the AVO method.

Inside, you'll find a wealth of short stories featuring iron-willed heroines, soul-shredding monsters and hilariously misguided buffoons. Despite the vast differences in plot, circumstance and voice, our main characters all share one feature: they are women - mothers and daughters, sisters, midwives and waitresses, heroines and traitors, cold-hearted huntswomen and decadent goddesses. Inside these pages, you'll find some of the very best write...

The outbreak of the First World War saw an upsurge of patriotism. The Church generally saw the war as justified, and many clergy encouraged the men in their congregations to join the army. There was, however, already a strong strand of anti-war sentiment, opposed to the dominant theology of the Establishment. This was partly based on traditional Christian pacifism, but included other religious, social and political influences. Campaigners and ...

Provides an introduction to the interplay between linear algebra and dynamical systems in continuous time and in discrete time. It first reviews the autonomous case for one matrix A via induced dynamical systems in {R}^d and on Grassmannian manifolds. Then the main nonautonomous approaches are presented for which the time dependency of A(t) is given via skew-product flows using periodicity, or topological or ergodic properties.

There is a particular fascination when two apparently disjoint areas of mathematics turn out to have a meaningful connection to each other. The main goal of this book is to provide a largely self-contained, in-depth account of the linkage between nonassociative algebra and projective planes, with particular emphasis on octonion planes. There are several new results and many, if not most, of the proofs are new.

This book is intended for a first course in the calculus of variations, at the senior or beginning graduate level. The reader will learn methods for finding functions that maximize or minimize integrals. The text lays out important necessary and sufficient conditions for extrema in historical order, and it illustrates these conditions with numerous worked-out examples from mechanics, optics, geometry, and other fields.

Develops a homology theory for Smale spaces, which include the basics sets for an Axiom A diffeomorphism. It is based on two ingredients. The first is an improved version of Bowen's result that every such system is the image of a shift of finite type under a finite-to-one factor map. The second is Krieger's dimension group invariant for shifts of finite type.

Contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on Harmonic Analysis of Frames, Wavelets, and Tilings, held April 13-14, 2013. The papers in this volume touch on a wide variety of topics, including convex geometry, direct integral decompositions, Beurling density, operator-valued measures, and splines. In nearly all of the papers, techniques from operator theory serve as crucial tools to solving problems in frame theory.

Focuses on function spaces associated with a symplectic manifold. A number of recent advances show that these spaces exhibit intriguing properties and structures, giving rise to an alternative intuition and new tools in symplectic topology. The book provides an essentially self-contained introduction into these developments along with applications to symplectic topology, algebra and geometry of symplectomorphism groups, Hamiltonian dynamics an...

The Swendsen-Wang dynamics is a Markov chain widely used by physicists to sample from the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution of the Ising model. Cooper, Dyer, Frieze and Rue proved that on the complete graph Kn the mixing time of the chain is at most O( Ö n) for all non-critical temperatures. In this paper the authors show that the mixing time is Q (1) in high temperatures, Q (log n) in low temperatures and Q (n 1/4) at criticality.

Consists of papers on combinatorics of transportation polytopes, including results on the diameter of graphs of such polytopes, the generalized Steiner problem and related topics of the minimal fillings theory, a survey of distance graphs and graphs of diameters, and a group of papers on applications of algebraic combinatorics to packings of metric spaces including sphere packings and topics in coding theory.

The classical Grothendieck inequality is viewed as a statement about representations of functions of two variables over discrete domains by integrals of two-fold products of functions of one variable. An analogous statement is proved, concerning continuous functions of two variables over general topological domains.

Contains the proceedings of two AMS Special Sessions on The Mathematics of Decisions, Elections, and Games, in 2012. Decision theory, voting theory, and game theory are three intertwined areas of mathematics that involve making optimal decisions under different contexts. The papers in this volume highlight and exploit the mathematical structure of decisions, elections, and games to model and to analyze problems from the social sciences.

Let p be the automorphic representation of GSp4 ( A ) generated by a full level cuspidal Siegel eigenform that is not a Saito-Kurokawa lift, and t be an arbitrary cuspidal, automorphic representation of GL? ( A ). Using Furusawa's integral representation for GSp? X GL? combined with a pullback formula involving the unitary group GU (3, 3), the authors prove that the L-functions L(s, p X t are "nice”.

Contains the proceedings of two AMS Special Sessions - "Geometric and Algebraic Aspects of Representation Theory” and "Quantum Groups and Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry” held in 2012. Included are original research and some survey articles on various aspects of representations of algebras including Kac-Moody algebras, Lie superalgebras, quantum groups, toroidal algebras, Leibniz algebras and their connections with other areas of mathematics...
