This book follows a conversational approach in five dozen stories that provide an insight into the colorful world of financial mathematics and financial markets in a relaxed, accessible and entertaining form. The authors present various topics such as returns, real interest rate…
Chance is uncanny to us. We thought it didn't exist, that God or a reasonable explanation was behind everything. But we know today: It exists. We know that much of what surrounds us and which we do not see through, nevertheless runs causally. Unlike what was thought in the days …
Cyber attacks and IT outages threaten every organization. The incidents accumulate and often form the prelude to complex, existence-threatening crises. This book helps not only to manage them, but also to prepare for and prevent cyber crises. With its practical structure, it is …
After a short chapter on basic aspects of software engineering and its realization in Go, this book introduces to nonsequential and distributed programming with Go. It systematically presents basic concepts for the synchronization and communication of concurrent processes. These…
Anyone who wants to simulate the behavior of vehicles must think about how they want to model the vehicle's chassis. Depending on the question (vehicle dynamics, ride comfort, load data prediction ...) there are a variety of possibilities. This book should help to find and imple…
This essential teaches basic formulas, methods and ideas of classical financial mathematics. Since classical financial mathematics makes do with elementary mathematical tools, any interested reader with average mathematical school knowledge can easily follow this text. The core …
The textbook looks at the German federal state from the perspective of the Länder. It provides information on the development of the German Länder, analyzes their significance for democracy, the federal state and the rule of law, and introduces the central principles of politics…
Leading researchers on economic resilience from economic geography, economic history and organizational studies discuss recent approaches to better understand the impact of structures, processes, agency, governance and multilevel settings on economic resilience. The Editor Prof.…
The constant change in a company's economic environment has a strong impact on existing work processes. Companies are therefore required to constantly rethink their processes and adapt them accordingly. Over time, different methods such as Kaizen, Six Sigma, Business Reengineeri…
This book presents a complete human-centered design process (ISO 9241:210) that had two goals: to design universal, intuitive, and permanent pictograms and to develop a process for designing suitable pictograms. The book analyzes characteristics of visual representations, ground…
This book describes how statistical methods can be effectively applied in the work of an engineer in terms that can be readily understood. Application of these methods enables the effort involved in experiments to be reduced, the results of these experiments to be fully evaluate…
This book pleads for a new orientation of government economic policy, as well as central bank policy, rejecting the traditional government stabilization policy that leads to a dead-end of economic instability and social inequality in the long run. Growing economic instability an…
With the help of tried and tested, carefully elaborated learning units, the authors convey fundamental mathematical techniques in this essential, which are important far beyond primary school. In the present volume I, path problems and word puzzles are modeled and solved using u…
The book provides its readers with an overview of the technology and its potential and helps them to place RPA in the context of process management. The readers receive concrete instructions for the implementation of an RPA with all necessary steps, such as adequate process sele…
This book provides an impressive account of the pioneering technical achievements of the German economic theorist Friedrich List (1789-1846) during his exile in the USA. With the project planning and construction of the Little Schuylkill Railroad in Pennsylvania, List contribute…
The 3rd edition was extended by the chapter "Novel Future Ferrites - Hexagonal Ferrites". The reader is thus given the basics of the various shielding effects in a compressed form. This book is addressed to engineers, scientists, students, researchers and specialists from the pr…
The history of the universe has fascinated mankind for centuries. Using the interplay of cosmology, general relativity, particle physics and quantum theory, it is today possible to reconstruct it physically. Only the beginning, the big bang, has so far eluded the established law…
In this essential, Thomas Rießinger explains the rules of percentage and interest calculation using many examples. The basic terms of interest and percentage calculation and the corresponding formulas are repeated so that they are easy to apply in everyday life. The author appli…
With today's flood of data circulating on storage media and the Internet, compression of digital data remains an immensely important aspect of data transmission and storage. This essential explains, without theoretical superstructure and with elementary mathematical methods, the…
In this essential, Claudia Alfes-Neumann discusses applications of the theory of modular forms and their importance as fundamental tools in mathematics. These functions - initially defined purely analytically - appear in many areas of mathematics: very prominently in number theo…
