  • Math on Trial

    How Numbers Get Used and Abused in the Courtroom

    by Leila Schneps, Coralie Colmez ...
    In the wrong hands, math can be deadly. Even the simplest numbers can become powerful forces when manipulated by politicians or the media, but in the case of the law, your liberty -- and your life -- can depend on the right calculation.In Math on Trial, mathematicians Leila Schneps and Coralie Colmez describe ten trials spanning from the nineteenth century to today, in which mathematical arguments ...

  • Shaken Baby Syndrome

    Investigating the Abusive Head Trauma Controversy

    Edited by Keith A. Findley, Cyrille Rossant, Kana Sasakura, Leila Schneps, Waney Squier, Knut Wester ...
    Since the early 2000s, a growing body of scientific studies in neuropathology, neurology, neurosurgery, biomechanics, statistics, criminology and psychology has cast doubt on the forensic reliability of medical determinations of Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS), more recently termed Abusive Head Trauma (AHT). Studies have increasingly documented that accidental short falls and a wide range of medical ... Read more

  • Hodge Theory and Complex Algebraic Geometry I: Volume 1

    by Claire Voisin ...
    Translated by Leila Schneps ...
    Series Book 76 - Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics
    The first of two volumes offering a modern introduction to Kaehlerian geometry and Hodge structure. The book starts with basic material on complex variables, complex manifolds, holomorphic vector bundles, sheaves and cohomology theory, the latter being treated in a more theoretical way than is usual in geometry. The author then proves the Kaehler identities, which leads to the hard Lefschetz ... Read more

  • Hodge Theory and Complex Algebraic Geometry II: Volume 2

    by Claire Voisin ...
    Translated by Leila Schneps ...
    Series Book 77 - Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics
    The 2003 second volume of this account of Kaehlerian geometry and Hodge theory starts with the topology of families of algebraic varieties. Proofs of the Lefschetz theorem on hyperplane sections, the Picard–Lefschetz study of Lefschetz pencils, and Deligne theorems on the degeneration of the Leray spectral sequence and the global invariant cycles follow. The main results of the second part are the ... Read more

  • Periods and Nori Motives

    by Annette Huber, Benjamin Friedrich, Jonas von Wangenheim, Stefan Müller-Stach ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This book casts the theory of periods of algebraic varieties in the natural setting of Madhav Nori’s abelian category of mixed motives. It develops Nori’s approach to mixed motives from scratch, thereby filling an important gap in the literature, and then explains the connection of mixed motives to periods, including a detailed account of the theory of period numbers in the sense of Kontsevich ...

  • Galois Theory, Coverings, and Riemann Surfaces

    by Askold Khovanskii ...
    Translated by Vladlen Timorin, Valentina Kiritchenko ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    The first part of this book provides an elementary and self-contained exposition of classical Galois theory and its applications to questions of solvability of algebraic equations in explicit form. The second part describes a surprising analogy between the fundamental theorem of Galois theory and the classification of coverings over a topological space. The third part contains a geometric ...

  • Dermo Neuro Modulating

    Manual Treatment for Peripheral Nerves and Especially Cutaneous Nerves

    by Diane Jacobs ...
    DermoNeuroModulating is a structured, interactive approach to manual therapy that considers the nervous system of the patient from skin cell to sense of self. Techniques are slow, light, kind, intelligent, responsive and effective. Positioning of limbs and trunk affects deeper nerve trunks (by shortening and widening their container), and iscombined with skin stretch directed toward cutaneous ... Read more

  • Introduction to Experimental Mathematics

    by Søren Eilers, Rune Johansen ...
    Series series Cambridge Mathematical Textbooks
    Mathematics is not, and never will be, an empirical science, but mathematicians are finding that the use of computers and specialized software allows the generation of mathematical insight in the form of conjectures and examples, which pave the way for theorems and their proofs. In this way, the experimental approach to pure mathematics is revolutionizing the way research mathematicians work. As ... Read more
