This inviting and visually rich book is the latest work of well known mathematician Marcel Berger. He aims to demonstrate to readers the renewed spirit of geometry, and reveals that even so-called "elementary" geometry is very much alive.

Tracking and applying the latest techniques in computational intelligence is a major challenge, as they often prove their value before the underlying theories are fully understood. This book shows how to create value from computational intelligence methods.

An ideal text for researchers and graduate students, this comprehensive volume covers semantic domains and domain models, as well as ways of applying the technique to text categorization, word sense disambiguation, and cross-language text categorization.

Using the special natural conditions in Iceland as a "test area", this book describes the major efforts in earthquake prediction research worldwide. The results obtained in Iceland are of significance for earthquake prediction research around the world.

Homogeneous Catalysis with Metal Complexes discusses the important role the redox process plays in chemical systems, the reactions occurring in living organisms, environmental processes, atmosphere, water, soil, and industrial technologies.

This book studies the phenomenon of digitalization with the instruments of economics in order to explore the interdependencies between digitalization, economic policy, and macroeconomic variables of open economies.

C.E. Needham has spent more than forty years exploring the field of blast and shock, and this book chronicles the lessons he has learned. Historical in perspective, it focuses on blast waves propagating in fluids or materials than can be treated as fluids.

Focusing on robotic manipulation control systems, this volume explores a mechanical system, equipped with one or more sensors delivering digital and/or analog sensor signals. A new concept is introduced, with many comprehensive examples.

This book presents applied probability and stochastic processes in an elementary but mathematically precise manner, with numerous examples and exercises to illustrate the range of engineering and science applications of the concepts.

This up-to-date review offers a concise synthesis of the status of electroweak physics today, and an outlook to the near future, illustrated with many informative figures and tables. Results are discussed with both LEP and LHC measurements.

Based on new insights on sustainable development, this book provides pragmatic approaches for economic policies and implementation, in addition to institutional reform. Topics include trade, poverty, recognition and factor limitations.
