In most mathematics departments at major universities one of the three or four basic first-year graduate courses is in the subject of algebraic topology This introductory textbook in algebraic topology is suitable for use in a course or for self-study featuring broad coverage of the subject & a readable exposition with many examples & exercises The four main chapters present the basic material of the subject fundamental group & covering spaces homology & cohomology higher homotopy groups & homotopy theory generally The author emphasizes the geometric aspects of the subject which helps students gain intuition A unique feature of the book is the inclusion of many optional topics which are not usually part of a first course due to time constraints & for which elementary expositions are sometimes hard to find Among these are Bockstein & transfer homomorphisms direct & inverse limits H-spaces & Hopf algebras the Brown representability theorem the James reduced product the Dold-Thom theorem & a full exposition of Steenrod squares & powers Researchers will also welcome this aspect of the book ...

Invaded in 1830 populated by one million settlers who co-existed uneasily with nine million Arabs & Berbers Algeria was different from other French colonies because it was administered as an integral part of France in theory no different from Normandy or Brittany The depth & scale of the colonization process explains why the Algerian War of 1954 to 1962 was one of the longest & most violent of the decolonization struggles An undeclared war in the sense that there was no formal beginning of hostilities the conflict produced huge tensions that brought down four governments ended the Fourth Republic in 1958 & mired the French army in accusations of torture & mass human rights abuses In carefully re-examining the origins & consequences of the conflict Martin Evans argues that it was the Socialist-led Republican Front in power from January 1956 until May 1957 which was the defining moment in the war rather than the later administration under De Gaulle Predicated on the belief in the universal civilizing mission of the Fourth Republic coupled with the conviction that Algerian nationalism was feudal & religiously fanatical in character the Republican Front dramatically intensified the war in the spring of 1956 Drawing upon previously classified archival sources as well as new oral testimonies France's Undeclared War is the first major English-language history of the Algerian conflict in a generation Throughout Martin Evans underlines the ultimately irreconcilable conflict of values between the Republican Front & Algerian nationalism explaining how this clash produced patterns of thought & action such as the institutionalization of torture & the raising of pro-French Muslim militias which tragically polarized choices & framed all stages of the conflict ...

This book provides the first practical guide to the function & implementation of algorithmic differentiation in finance Written in a highly accessible way Algorithmic Differentiation Explained will take readers through all the major applications of AD in the derivatives setting with a focus on implementation Algorithmic Differentiation (AD) has been popular in engineering & computer science in areas such as fluid dynamics & data assimilation for many years Over the last decade it has been increasingly (and successfully) applied to financial risk management where it provides an efficient way to obtain financial instrument price derivatives with respect to the data inputs Calculating derivatives exposure across a portfolio is no simple task It requires many complex calculations & a large amount of computer power which in prohibitively expensive & can be time consuming Algorithmic differentiation techniques can be very successfully in computing Greeks & sensitivities of a portfolio with machine precision Written by a leading practitioner who works & programmes AD it offers a practical analysis of all the major applications of AD in the derivatives setting & guides the reader towards implementation Open source code of the examples is provided with the book with which readers can experiment & perform their own test scenarios without writing the related code themselves ...

Creating robust software requires the use of efficient algorithms but programmers seldom think about them until a problem occurs This updated edition of Algorithms in a Nutshell describes a large number of existing algorithms for solving a variety of problems & helps you select & implement the right algorithm for your needs-with just enough math to let you understand & analyze algorithm performance With its focus on application rather than theory this book provides efficient code solutions in several programming languages that you can easily adapt to a specific project Each major algorithm is presented in the style of a design pattern that

Includes:: information to help you understand why & when the algorithm is appropriate With this book you will Solve a particular coding problem or improve on the performance of an existing solution Quickly locate algorithms that relate to the problems you want to solve & determine why a particular algorithm is the right one to use Get algorithmic solutions in C C Java & Ruby with implementation tips Learn the expected performance of an algorithm & the conditions it needs to perform at its best Discover the impact that similar design decisions have on different algorithms Learn advanced data structures to improve the efficiency of algorithms
