Representation Theory of Symmetric Groups

Representation Theory of Symmetric Groups

Representation Theory of Symmetric Groups is the most up-to-date abstract algebra book on the subject of symmetric groups and representation theory. Utilizing new research and results this book can be studied from a combinatorial algorithmic or algebraic viewpoint. This book is an excellent way of introducing today’s students to representation theory of the symmetric groups namely classical theory. From there the book explains how the theory can be extended to other related combinatorial algebras like the Iwahori-Hecke algebra. In a clear and concise manner the author presents the case that most calculations on symmetric group can be performed by utilizing appropriate algebras of functions. Thus the book explains how some Hopf algebras (symmetric functions and generalizations) can be used to encode most of the combinatorial properties of the representations of symmetric groups. Overall the book is an innovative introduction to representation theory of symmetric groups for graduate students and researchers seeking new ways of thought.

Applied Sociology of Health and Illness A Problem-Based Learning Approach

Applied Sociology of Health and Illness A Problem-Based Learning Approach

Praise for the First Edition: A real combined approach of behavioural social biomedical and clinical sciences is paramount. [This book] is one pioneering example of such integration bridging core sociology with medical education. – Dikomitis L Wenning B Ghobrial A and Adams K. M. (2022). Embedding behavioural and social sciences across the medical curriculum: (Auto) ethnographic insights from medical schools in the United Kingdom. Societies 12 101. Constantinou’s book not only contributes to bridging the gap between theoretical sociology and medical education it also contributes to the way we teach a new generation of students – how to understand patients in context how to treat them with respect and ultimately how to be a better medical doctor. – Andrea Stockl from her Foreword to the First Edition Comments from Medical Students: ‘Ignorance is not just lack of knowledge but lack of implementing knowledge gained’. I encourage everybody going into a clinical and general work setting to read this book and implement. I believe this book is the key to unlocking the minds of medical students in viewing illness as not only physical and emotional also as social experience. I believe everyone should read this book especially medical students and practitioners who wish to become all-round competent and understanding doctors. The better you understand your patient’s illness and his/her suffering the healthier you can make him/her – this book teaches this important skill. This popular and accessible text continues to cover the basic principles of the sociology of health and illness in an eminently readable way. This fully revised second edition has been inspired informed and reviewed by medical students. By creatively employing a problem-based learning approach the book examines commonly covered topics integrating underlying principles and research findings through real-life stories. The book investigates the relevance of sociology and considers a new direction – one that places sociology in the context of healthcare settings making the topic more realistic useful and memorable. The book will be an invaluable companion for medical students throughout undergraduate studies and is also a useful reference for students in nursing social work psychology and sociology as well as qualified doctors and healthcare practitioners. | Applied Sociology of Health and Illness A Problem-Based Learning Approach

The Mathematics of Politics

The Mathematics of Politics

It is because mathematics is often misunderstood it is commonlybelieved it has nothing to say about politics. The high schoolexperience with mathematics for so many the lasting impressionof the subject suggests that mathematics is the study of numbers operations formulas and manipulations of symbols. Thosebelieving this is the extent of mathematics might conclude mathematics has no relevance to politics. This book counters this impression. The second edition of this popular book focuses on mathematical reasoningabout politics. In the search for ideal ways to make certain kindsof decisions a lot of wasted effort can be averted if mathematics can determine thatfinding such an ideal is actually impossible in the first place. In the first three parts of this book we address the following threepolitical questions:(1) Is there a good way to choose winners of elections?(2) Is there a good way to apportion congressional seats?(3) Is there a good way to make decisions in situations of conflict anduncertainty?In the fourth and final part of this book we examine the ElectoralCollege system that is used in the United States to select a president. There we bring together ideas that are introduced in each of the threeearlier parts of the book. | The Mathematics of Politics

Electronics for Scientists provides a practical and concise introduction to electrical circuits signals and instrumentation for undergraduate students in the physical sciences. No previous familiarity with electronics is required and concepts are grounded in the relevant physics. The book aims to give students the electronics background needed to be successful in experimental science. The book begins with the fundamentals of DC circuits. This is followed by AC circuits and their analysis using the concept of impedance. The transfer function is introduced and used to analyze different types of filter circuits. The conversion between time-domain and frequency-domain signal representations is reviewed. Transmission lines are introduced and used to motivate the different approach to designing microwave-frequency circuits as compared to lower-frequency circuits. The physics of semiconductors is reviewed and used to understand the behavior of diodes and transistors and a number of diode and transistor circuits are analyzed. The operational amplifier (op-amp) is introduced and several op-amp circuits are analyzed. Techniques for quantifying noise in electrical measurements are described and common sources of noise are discussed. The last major topic is digital circuits which include analog-to-digital conversion logic gates and digital memory circuits. The book concludes with a brief introduction to quantum computing. Designed for a one-semester course this book brings together a range of topics relevant to experimental science that are not commonly found in a single text.
