This book is an ambitious but optimistic treatment of the subject of topology. Not only does Elements of Topology: Theory and Practice, Second Edition treat the standard basic material on point-set topology, but it also gives an introduction to algebraic topology, a treatment of manifolds, a discussion of function spaces, and some ideas of knot theory. Even the exciting new topic of the Jones polynomial is covered. After discussing the key ideas of topology, the author examines the more advanced topics of algebraic topology and manifold theory. Topic coverage has been reduced in this second edition, and exercise sets have been added at the end of each section. The book as a whole - and the first two chapters in particular - offer many examples. Solutions to selected exercises are included at the end.

В этом энциклопедическом справочнике приведены данные более чем о тысяче русских боевых кораблей и вспомогательных судов. Именно из них состоял тот флот, посредством которого Россия вела морскую войну с Японией в 1904-1905 гг., с Германией и Турцией в 1914-1917 гг. Впервые в отечественной справочной литературе русские корабли и суда распределены здесь по классам, типам и сериям, а не по морским театрам.

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data analytics reshape economies and societies, the promise of innovation is increasingly shadowed by concerns over inclusion, equity, and global justice. This accessible, interdisciplinary volume brings together established and emerging voices from across the world to critically examine issues lying at the intersection of innovation, intellectual property, and inequality in the age of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data. Featuring empirical studies, legal analyses, policy critiques, interdisciplinary perspectives, and global insights, Inclusive Innovation in the Age of AI and Big Data underscores the tremendous impact gender, race, and other socioeconomic factors have on innovation and intellectual property ecosystems. This volume also explores structural barriers in these ecosystems, diversity initiatives in the patent area, metrics for measuring inclusivity and diversity in innovation, changes brought about by AI and Big Data, and the evolution of the global innovation and intellectual property systems. Innovation is often celebrated as a catalyst for progress and prosperity, but it may also perpetuate exclusion. In the age of AI and Big Data, where technological change occurs at an unprecedented pace and scale, there is a high risk that the disparities caused by exclusion will be further entrenched and globalized.

Tse and co-authors take a multidisciplinary approach to address the complex issues facing the sustainable and robust management of modern power grids – particularly the integration of renewable energy, Artificial Intelligence, and cyber networks – and the resulting necessity for enhanced resilience. This book concentrates on three aspects central to robustness. First, it presents a methodology for modeling cascading failures in power grids using complex network theory that captures the propagation of failures triggered by initial events. Next, it proposes new evaluation metrics to accurately assess the robustness of complex power grids against major blackout incidents caused by cascading failures. Unlike traditional structure-based metrics, these metrics incorporate network characteristics, electrical variables, and learning-based methods. Last, it presents new strategies for enhancing the robustness of evolving power grids, focusing on both the system planning phase and system control/protection phase. The content is designed with practical applicability in mind; readers will benefit from actionable strategies directly achievable in real-world scenarios. Readers will acquire a holistic and multidisciplinary understanding of the robustness of evolving power grids and will be able to take a holistic perspective on modern power grid challenges and opportunities.

Test-driven data analysis is the synthesis of ideas from test-driven development of software to data-intensive work including Data Science, data analysis, and data engineering. It is a methodology for improving the quality of data and of analytical pipelines and processes. It can be thought of as data analysis as if the answers actually matter. Test-driven data analysis can be thought of as a sibling to reproducible research, with similar concerns, but greater emphasis on automated testing, and less requirement for a human to reproduce results. Extensive checklists are provided that can be used to improve quality before,during, and after analysis. Test-driven data analysis (TDDA) is both a methodology for improving data quality and data pipelines, and a set of software tools—the Python tdda library—for helping to implement that methodology. The library is written in Python and presents a Python API, so is most relevant to people using Python, but it also provides a command-line interface. This book is for anyone working with data who is interested in producing more robust and reliable results. One such group is hands-on practitioners—data scientists, Machine Learning researchers, data analysts, data engineers, technical quality assurance professionals, and others working with data at scale.
