Free Download Andrea Parlangeli, Marco Capriz, "A Pure Soul: Ennio De Giorgi, A Mathematical Genius"
English | 2019 | pages: 225 | ISBN: 3030053024 | PDF | 2,8 mb
This biography illuminates the life of Ennio De Giorgi, a mathematical genius in parallel with John Nash, the Nobel Prize Winner and protagonist of A Beautiful Mind. Beginning with his childhood and early years of research, into his solution of the 19th problem of Hilbert and his professorship, this book pushes beyond De Giorgi’s rich contributions to the mathematics community, to present his work in human rights, including involvement in the fight for Leonid Plyushch’s freedom and the defense of dissident Uruguayan mathematician José Luis Massera. Considered by many to be the greatest Italian analyst of the twentieth century, De Giorgi is described in this volume in full through documents and direct interviews with friends, family, colleagues, and former students.

Kant’s ‘Critique of Pure Reason’ An Introduction


Free Download Jill Vance Buroker, "Kant’s ‘Critique of Pure Reason’: An Introduction "
English | ISBN: 0521618258 | 2006 | 338 pages | AZW3 | 631 KB
In this introductory textbook to Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason, Jill Vance Buroker explains the role of this first Critique in Kant’s Critical project and offers a line-by-line reading of the major arguments in the text. She situates Kant’s views in relation both to his predecessors and to contemporary debates, explaining his Critical philosophy as a response to the failure of rationalism and the challenge of skepticism. Paying special attention to Kant’s notoriously difficult vocabulary, she explains the strengths and weaknesses of his arguments, while leaving the final assessment up to the reader. Intended to be read alongside the Critique (also published by Cambridge University Press as part of The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Immanuel Kant in Translation), this guide is accessible to readers with little background in the history of philosophy, but should also be a valuable resource for more advanced students.

Foundations of a Pure Cost Theory


Free Download Foundations of a Pure Cost Theory By Heinrich von Stackelberg (auth.)
2014 | 142 Pages | ISBN: 3642345360 | PDF | 2 MB
Heinrich von Stackelberg’s book, "Grundlagen einer reinen Kostentheorie", published in 1932 was at the forefront of a growing conceptual revolution in the theory of the firm, a theory which appears more relevant than ever in today’s economic climate. In this work, Stackelberg masterfully built a theoretical framework which he later developed in Market Structure and Equilibrium.Foundations of a Pure Cost Theory represents the first translation of the original German version into English. This substantial book offers readers a critical and technical understanding of the firm, how firms function and the environments in which they operate. Fundamental notions of cost production, market economy, optimum position and velocities of production are given prominence. Ultimately, this work, which remains largely unknown, can be seen as a milestone text in our understanding of the strategies adopted by firms as a whole.The book has been meticulously translated from the German into English, retaining the author’s examples in their historical context and capturing the spirit of the time with all its subtlety and significance.
