Free Download Ceri Brown, "Space, Identity and Education: A Multi Scalar Framework"
English | ISBN: 3031315340 | 2023 | 197 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book details an innovative multi-scalar framework to examine the intersection of spatial levels in shaping social justice issues in education. Including an examination of key dimensions such as geographic divisions (between and within countries), school design, online learning, home-schooling, and student mobility, the framework is applied to analyse the interrelation between space, identity, and education. The authors reveal how this novel integration of scales is essential for a more comprehensive and probing understanding of educational inequalities. As an example of theoretical interdisciplinarity mobilised to tackle the urgent issues of our time, the twin dimensions of space and identity, discussed at multi-scalar levels, provides an invaluable theoretical resource for scholars and students of education, sociology and geography.

Free Download Francine van den Brandeler, "Scalar Mismatches in Metropolitan Water Governance: A Comparative Study of São Paulo and Mexico City "
English | ISBN: 3031080602 | 2022 | 306 pages | PDF | 8 MB
The book provides insights into the particular nature of water-related challenges in metropolitan regions of the Global South and the "scalar mismatches" that prevent their sustainable and inclusive development. It argues for the adoption of a metropolitan water governance approach to assess these challenges, including the drivers and institutions that shape these, and the policy instruments at river basin and urban scales that aim to address these. The cases of Mexico City and São Paulo, as two mega-cities with a wide ranging of water-related challenges, present lessons to other fast growing urban agglomerations on the variety of possible responses as well as obstacles to their effectiveness that receive little attention.

Free Download Scalar, Vector, and Matrix Mathematics: Theory, Facts, and Formulas – Revised and Expanded Edition By Dennis S. Bernstein
2018 | 1600 Pages | ISBN: 0691151202 | PDF | 7 MB
The essential reference book on matrices―now fully updated and expanded, with new material on scalar and vector mathematicsSince its initial publication, this book has become the essential reference for users of matrices in all branches of engineering, science, and applied mathematics. In this revised and expanded edition, Dennis Bernstein combines extensive material on scalar and vector mathematics with the latest results in matrix theory to make this the most comprehensive, current, and easy-to-use book on the subject.Each chapter describes relevant theoretical background followed by specialized results. Hundreds of identities, inequalities, and facts are stated clearly and rigorously, with cross-references, citations to the literature, and helpful comments. Beginning with preliminaries on sets, logic, relations, and functions, this unique compendium covers all the major topics in matrix theory, such as transformations and decompositions, polynomial matrices, generalized inverses, and norms. Additional topics include graphs, groups, convex functions, polynomials, and linear systems. The book also features a wealth of new material on scalar inequalities, geometry, combinatorics, series, integrals, and more.Now more comprehensive than ever, Scalar, Vector, and Matrix Mathematics includes a detailed list of symbols, a summary of notation and conventions, an extensive bibliography and author index with page references, and an exhaustive subject index.Fully updated and expanded with new material on scalar and vector mathematicsCovers the latest results in matrix theoryProvides a list of symbols and a summary of conventions for easy and precise useIncludes an extensive bibliography with back-referencing plus an author index

Free Download Scalar and Vector Risk in the General Framework of Portfolio Theory: A Convex Analysis Approach
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031333209 | 228 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 20 MB
This book is the culmination of the authors’ industry-academic collaboration in the past several years. The investigation is largely motivated by bank balance sheet management problems. The main difference between a bank balance sheet management problem and a typical portfolio optimization problem is that the former involves multiple risks. The related theoretical investigation leads to a significant extension of the scope of portfolio theories.
