Topological Topics

Articles on Algebra and Topology Presented to Professor P J Hilton in Celebration of His Sixtieth Birthday

Professor Peter Hilton is one of the best known mathematicians of his generation. He has published almost 300 books and papers on various aspects of topology and algebra. The present volume is to celebrate the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. It begins with a bibliography of his work, followed by reviews of his contributions to topology and algebra. These are followed by eleven research papers concerned with various topics of current interest in algebra and topology. The articles are contributed by some of the many mathematicians with whom he has worked at one time or another. This book will be of interest to both topologists and algebraists, particularly those concerned with homotopy theory.

First, we wish to emphasise that the condition "66 E 6' mod I'" is indeed useful
and explicit. For example, consider the case G = G' = Sp(l); the centre Z = Z' is {ii},
and the Dynkin element 6 = 6' is -l. The appropriate Adams & Mahmud: Maps

The Delhi Sultanate

A Political and Military History

The Delhi Sultanate was the first Islamic state to be established in India. In a broad-ranging, accessible narrative, Peter Jackson traces the history of the Sultanate from its foundation in 1210 to its demise in 1400 at the sack of Delhi by the Central Asian conqueror, Tamerlane. During the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the Sultanate was the principal bastion of Islam in the subcontinent. While the book focuses on military and political affairs, tracing the Sultanate's resistance to formidable Mongol invasions from the north-west and the administrative developments that underpinned these exploits, it also explores the Sultans' relations with their non-Muslim subjects. As a comprehensive treatment of the period, the book will make a significant contribution to the literature on medieval Indo-Muslim history. Students of Islamic and Indian history, and those with a general interest in the region, will find it a valuable resource.

The reign of Muhammad b. Tughluq throws up perhaps more problems than any
other in the history of the Sultanate. At the sultan's accession the authority of
Delhi was acknowledged over a larger area of the subcontinent than under any
previous monarch. It is to this process of expansion that Barani refers when he
describes the unprecedented scope and efficiency of the revenue department in
Muhammad's early years.1 And yet the reign appears to be dominated by an

The Rise of the Standard Model

A History of Particle Physics from 1964 to 1979

Based on a conference held at Stanford University, this book gives the most comprehensive and up-to-date account of an exciting physics revolution--the rise of the Standard Model. The third volume of a series recounting the history of particle physics, this volume focuses on the Standard Model, which explains the microstructure of the world in terms of quarks and leptons and their interactions. Major contributors include Steven Weinberg, Murray Gell-Mann, Michael Redhead, Silvan Schweber, Leon Lederman, and John Heilbron. A collaboration of physicists and historians of science, the wide-ranging articles explore the detailed scientific experiments, the institutional settings in which they took place, and the ways in which the many details of the puzzle fit together to account for the Standard Model.

Several accounts have been written of the discovery of neutral weak currents,
mainly by social scientists or theoreticians.1 Although doubtless well motivated,
these authors were themselves not immersed in the experimental situation in
neutrino physics in the 1960s and 1970s. There have also been, of course,
nonhistorical reviews of the physics of neutral currents.2 In this chapter I shall
present an experimenter's account of the sequence of events in this discovery,
based on my own ...

Electron Correlation Dynamics in Atomic Collisions

Describes the dynamics of electron correlation in multi-electron transitions in atomic, molecular and optical physics.

So the motivation for this book is to look at an emerging topic that is of interest in
its own right and that impacts on a question of broad scientific interest, namely,
the question of correlation (or the many body problem, or the construction of
complex atomic systems The audience for whom this book is intended includes
specialists in the field, graduate students and engineers. The first chapter
includes a review of basic concepts in simple probability, classical scattering
theory and a brief ...

Cross-Disciplinary Approaches to the English Language

Theory and Practice

Cross-Disciplinary Approaches to the English Language: Theory and Practice provides an overview of a less tackled field of research, namely the main issues at stake when teaching English Language and Culture in Romania. The approach is an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural one, as the authors investigate problems, offering and probing solutions from a cross-curricular perspective. The book is a collection of 10 contributions by teachers and researchers from Romania which draw on theoretical and applied methodological explorations into the challenges posed by teaching/learning English in a globalised context. Organised into three main chapters, the volume addresses the multifacetedness of language education as a cross-discipline. The complexity and universality of the research enquiries and practical insights make the topics addressed valid across the contemporary globalising educational context. Cross-Disciplinary Approaches to the English Language: Theory and Practice will be a useful tool to specialists and practitioners from ESP and CLIL domains alike, as well as graduate and postgraduate students in foreign language teaching.

Sir Robert Clayton and the Origins of English Deposit Banking 1658-1685

Based upon the most extensive early banking archive known to survive, this book is the first major study of Stuart banking since R. D. Richards's The Early History of Banking in England (1928). It traces the origins and growth of banking from the late sixteenth century to the 1720s through two generations of a scriveners' bank established in 1638 by Robert Abbott, and perpetuated by his nephew, Robert Clayton, and John Morris. With deposits from landowners' rents and stock sales these bankers practised as moneylenders and money-brokers for another sector of the gentry needing capital to offset the effects of the Great Rebellion and an agricultural depression. After 1660 Clayton and Morris integrated mortgage security into banking practice. This study examines the elaborate stages of land assessment and legal change which enabled bankers to offer large-scale, long-term securities to their clients, a pattern followed later by other banks such as Childs, Hoares, Martins and Coutts.

During the 1680s certain changes occurred in the Old Jewry organization
suggesting that the bank was never the same again. The first blow was Morris's
death in 1682, when Clayton lost his partner and closest friend. In his will Morris
provided for his nieces and nephews and made smaller bequests to his servants.
All his remaining capital and interest in his investments made with Clayton went
to his surviving partner. 1 Morris's death by itself left little impact on the capital of
the bank, ...

Short Introduction to Strategic Management

The Short Introduction to Strategic Management provides an authoritative yet accessible account of strategic management and its contemporary challenges. It explains the roots and key rationales of the strategy field, discussing common models, tools and practices, to provide a complete overview of conventional analytical techniques in strategic management. Andersen extends the discussion to consider dynamic strategy making and how it can enable organizations to respond effectively to turbulent and unpredictable global business environments. There is a specific focus on multinational corporate strategy issues relevant to organizations operating across multiple international markets. Written in a clear and direct style, it will appeal to students and practising managers and executives alike.
