Book Description
Singularity Heights takes us to a future that feels simultaneously familiar and deeply strange. It's a world where bots do all the work, everyone has profoundly personal relationships with their AI, even if their human relationships are quite shallow, and wealth is distributed through an unfair and cruel system designed to perpetuate vast inequality. The sickness in society came about so naturally that most people inhabiting it can hardly imagine any other way of living. The story follows the complex, intertwined lives of Sunny, DeShay, and Jaden, whose rivalries and romances set into motion a series of events that sends society's precarious equilibrium into violent upheaval.

Differential Geometry From A Singularity Theory Viewpoint
Author: Shyuichi Izumiya
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814590460
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
Differential Geometry from a Singularity Theory Viewpoint provides a new look at the fascinating and classical subject of the differential geometry of surfaces in Euclidean spaces. The book uses singularity theory to capture some key geometric features of surfaces. It describes the theory of contact and its link with the theory of caustics and wavefronts. It then uses the powerful techniques of these theories to deduce geometric information about surfaces embedded in 3, 4 and 5-dimensional Euclidean spaces. The book also includes recent work of the authors and their collaborators on the geometry of sub-manifolds in Minkowski spaces.

Singularities and Foliations. Geometry, Topology and Applications
Author: Raimundo Nonato Araújo dos Santos
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319736396
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 552
Book Description
This proceedings book brings selected works from two conferences, the 2nd Brazil-Mexico Meeting on Singularity and the 3rd Northeastern Brazilian Meeting on Singularities, that were hold in Salvador, in July 2015. All contributions were carefully peer-reviewed and revised, and cover topics like Equisingularity, Topology and Geometry of Singularities, Topological Classification of Singularities of Mappings, and more. They were written by mathematicians from several countries, including Brazil, Spain, Mexico, Japan and the USA, on relevant topics on Theory of Singularity, such as studies on deformations, Milnor fibration, foliations, Catastrophe theory, and myriad applications. Open problems are also introduced, making this volume a must-read both for graduate students and active researchers in this field.

Singularities on the Free Surface and Higher Order Wave Height Far Behind a Parabolic Ship
Author: Bohyun Yim
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Ships
Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
A theoretical investigation is made of one aspect of nonlinear ship wave making theory; the line integral of the free surface is computed by a simple method. It is shown that the discrepancy between experimental and linearized theory can be partially ascribed to the neglect of this important non-linear term.

Real and Complex Singularities
Author: Ana Claudia Nabarro
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470422050
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
This volume is a collection of papers presented at the XIII International Workshop on Real and Complex Singularities, held from July 27–August 8, 2014, in São Carlos, Brazil, in honor of María del Carmen Romero Fuster's 60th birthday. The volume contains the notes from two mini-courses taught during the workshop: on intersection homology by J.-P. Brasselet, and on non-isolated hypersurface singularities and Lê cycles by D. Massey. The remaining contributions are research articles which cover topics from the foundations of singularity theory (including classification theory and invariants) to topology of singular spaces (links of singularities and semi-algebraic sets), as well as applications to topology (cobordism and Lefschetz fibrations), dynamical systems (Morse-Bott functions) and differential geometry (affine geometry, Gauss-maps, caustics, frontals and non-Euclidean geometries). This book is published in cooperation with Real Sociedad Matemática Española (RSME)

Synoptic and Dynamic Climatology
Author: Roger G. Barry
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134969740
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 633
Book Description
Synoptic and Dynamic Climatology provides the first comprehensive account of the dynamical behaviour and mechanisms of the global climate system and its components, together with a modern survey of synoptic-scale weather systems in the tropics and extratropics, and of the methods and applications of synoptic climate classification. It is unrivalled in the scope and detail of its contents. The work is thoroughly up to date, with extensive bibliographies by chapter. It is illustrated with nearly 300 figures and plates. *Part 1 provides an introduction to the global climate system and the space-time scales of weather and climate processes, followed by a chapter on climate data and their analysis *Part 2 describes and explains the characteristics of the general circulation of the global atmosphere and includes the nature and causes of global teleconnection patterns *Part 3 discusses synoptic weather systems in the extratropics and tropics and satellite-based climatologies of synoptic features. It also describes the applications of synoptic climatology and summarises current climatic research and its directions.
