Islamic Microeconomics An Introduction

Islamic Microeconomics An Introduction

This book bridges the gap between Islamic and conventional (micro)economics by demonstrating how modern tools and theories of microeconomics can be applied to Islamic assumptions regarding economics and finance. In contrast to the tendency for Islamic economics and finance proponents to use qualitative and normative approaches based on idealistic assumptions this book demonstrates how one can instead construct analytical models of Islamic economics and finance and simply compare the implications with those predominant in today’s world. This book also offers extensive literature reviews demonstrating that for a long time the gap between Islamic and conventional economics and finance is not as wide as previously thought allowing those with an interest in both fields to participate more effectively and meaningfully in the ongoing discourse between the two fields. The authors conceptualize a general approach and apply it to basic consumer theory. More advanced microeconomic ideas are then discussed culminating in demonstrations of how contract theory can facilitate a deeper analysis and appreciation of Islamic financial securities. A wide spectrum of academic literature on both Islamic and conventional economics and finance is drawn upon to facilitate a better appreciation for both fields and to inspire future works comparing the two in a more objective manner. | Islamic Microeconomics An Introduction

Elementary Vector Calculus and Its Applications with MATLAB Programming

Elementary Vector Calculus and Its Applications with MATLAB Programming

Sir Isaac Newton one of the greatest scientists and mathematicians of all time introduced the notion of a vector to define the existence of gravitational forces the motion of the planets around the sun and the motion of the moon around the earth. Vector calculus is a fundamental scientific tool that allows us to investigate the origins and evolution of space and time as well as the origins of gravity electromagnetism and nuclear forces. Vector calculus is an essential language of mathematical physics and plays a vital role in differential geometry and studies related to partial differential equations widely used in physics engineering fluid flow electromagnetic fields and other disciplines. Vector calculus represents physical quantities in two or three-dimensional space as well as the variations in these quantities. The machinery of differential geometry of which vector calculus is a subset is used to understand most of the analytic results in a more general form. Many topics in the physical sciences can be mathematically studied using vector calculus techniques. This book is designed under the assumption that the readers have no prior knowledge of vector calculus. It begins with an introduction to vectors and scalars and also covers scalar and vector products vector differentiation and integrals Gauss's theorem Stokes's theorem and Green's theorem. The MATLAB programming is given in the last chapter. This book includes many illustrations solved examples practice examples and multiple-choice questions. | Elementary Vector Calculus and Its Applications with MATLAB Programming

Constrained Optimization In The Calculus Of Variations and Optimal Control Theory

The major purpose of this book is to present the theoretical ideas and the analytical and numerical methods to enable the reader to understand and efficiently solve these important optimizational problems. The first half of this book should serve as the major component of a classical one or two semester course in the calculus of variations and optimal control theory. The second half of the book will describe the current research of the authors which is directed to solving these problems numerically. In particular we present new reformulations of constrained problems which leads to unconstrained problems in the calculus of variations and new general accurate and efficient numerical methods to solve the reformulated problems. We believe that these new methods will allow the reader to solve important problems. | Constrained Optimization In The Calculus Of Variations and Optimal Control Theory

Introductory Concepts for Abstract Mathematics

Introductory Concepts for Abstract Mathematics

Beyond calculus the world of mathematics grows increasingly abstract and places new and challenging demands on those venturing into that realm. As the focus of calculus instruction has become increasingly computational it leaves many students ill prepared for more advanced work that requires the ability to understand and construct proofs. Introductory Concepts for Abstract Mathematics helps readers bridge that gap. It teaches them to work with abstract ideas and develop a facility with definitions theorems and proofs. They learn logical principles and to justify arguments not by what seems right but by strict adherence to principles of logic and proven mathematical assertions - and they learn to write clearly in the language of mathematicsThe author achieves these goals through a methodical treatment of set theory relations and functions and number systems from the natural to the real. He introduces topics not usually addressed at this level including the remarkable concepts of infinite sets and transfinite cardinal numbersIntroductory Concepts for Abstract Mathematics takes readers into the world beyond calculus and ensures their voyage to that world is successful. It imparts a feeling for the beauty of mathematics and its internal harmony and inspires an eagerness and increased enthusiasm for moving forward in the study of mathematics.

Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences with Modeling using R

Probability and statistics courses are more popular than ever. Regardless of your major or your profession you will most likely use concepts from probability and statistics often in your career. The primary goal behind this book is offering the flexibility for instructors to build most undergraduate courses upon it. This book is designed for either a one-semester course in either introductory probability and statistics (not calculus-based) and/or a one-semester course in a calculus-based probability and statistics course. The book focuses on engineering examples and applications while also including social sciences and more examples. Depending on the chapter flows a course can be tailored for students at all levels and background. Over many years of teaching this course the authors created problems based on real data student projects and labs. Students have suggested these enhance their experience and learning. The authors hope to share projects and labs with other instructors and students to make the course more interesting for both. R is an excellent platform to use. This book uses R with real data sets. The labs can be used for group work in class or for self-directed study. These project labs have been class-tested for many years with good results and encourage students to apply the key concepts and use of technology to analyze and present results. | Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences with Modeling using R

Microeconomic Theory A Heterodox Approach

Microeconomic Theory A Heterodox Approach

Microeconomic Theory: A Heterodox Approach develops a heterodox economic theory that explains the economy as the social provisioning process at the micro level. Heterodox microeconomics explores the economy with a focus on its constituent parts and their reproduction and recurrence their integration qua interdependency by non-market and market arrangements and institutions and how the system works as a whole. This book deals with three theoretical concerns. Due to the significance of the price mechanism to mainstream economics a theoretical concern of the book is the business enterprise markets demand and pricing. Also since heterodox economists see private investment consumption and government expenditures as the principal directors and drivers of economic activity a second theoretical concern is business decision-making processes regarding investment and production government expenditure decisions the financing of investment the profit mark-up and the wage rate and taxes. Finally the third theoretical concern of the book is the delineation of a non-equilibrium disaggregated price-output model of the social provisioning process. This book explores the integration of these various theories with a theoretical model of the economy and how this forms a theory that can be identified as heterodox microeconomics. It will be of interest to both postgraduates and researchers. | Microeconomic Theory A Heterodox Approach
