Gini Inequality Index: Methods and Applications
by Nitis Mukhopadhyay"Prof. Nitis Mukhopadhyay and Prof. Partha Pratim Sengupta, who edited this volume with great attention and rigor, have certainly carried out noteworthy activities." - Giovanni Maria Giorgi, University of Rome (Sapienza) "This book is an important contribution to the development of indices of disparity and dissatisfaction in the age of globalization and social strife." - Shelemyahu Zacks, SUNY-Binghamton "It will not be an overstatement when I say that the famous income inequality index or wealth inequality index, which is most widely accepted across the globe is named after Corrado Gini (1984-1965). ... I take this opportunity to heartily applaud the two co-editors for spending their valuable time and energy in putting together a wonderful collection of papers written by the acclaimed researchers on selected topics of interest today. I am very impressed, and I believe so will be its readers." - K.V. Mardia, University of Leeds Gini coefficient or Gini index was originally defined as a standardized measure of statistical dispersion intended to understand an income distribution. It has evolved into quantifying inequity in all kinds of distributions of wealth, gender parity, access to education and health services, environmental policies, and numerous other attributes of importance. Gini Inequality Index: Methods and Applications features original high-quality peer-reviewed chapters prepared by internationally acclaimed researchers. They provide innovative methodologies whether quantitative or qualitative, covering welfare economics, development economics, optimization/non-optimization, econometrics, air quality, statistical learning, inference, sample size determination, big data science, and some heuristics. Never before has such a wide dimension of leading research inspired by Gini's works and their applicability been collected in one edited volume. The volume also showcases modern approaches to the research of a number of very talented and upcoming younger contributors and collaborators. This feature will give readers a window with a distinct view of what emerging research in this field may entail in the near future.
Giovanni Battista Guccia: Pioneer of International Cooperation in Mathematics
by Benedetto Bongiorno Guillermo P. CurberaThis book examines the life and work of mathematician Giovanni Battista Guccia, founder of the Circolo Matematico di Palermo and its renowned journal, the Rendiconti del Circolo matematico di Palermo. The authors describe how Guccia, an Italian geometer, was able to establish a mathematical society in Sicily in the late nineteenth century, which by 1914 would grow to become the largest and most international in the world, with one of the most influential journals of the time. The book highlights the challenges faced by Guccia in creating an international society in isolated Palermo, and places Guccia’s activities in the wider European context through comparisons with the formation of the London Mathematical Society and the creation of Mittag-Leffler’s Acta Mathematica in Stockholm. Based on extensive searches in European archives, this scholarly work follows both historical and scientific treads, and will appeal to those interested in the history of mathematics and science in general.

Girmitiya Culture and Memory: Navigating Identity, Tradition, and Resilience across Continents
by Neha Singh Priyanka ChaudharyThis book explores the multifaceted dimensions of the Girmitya diaspora and post-memory. The intersections of dis/re-location and memory have always been a focus of scholarly interest and the volume envisages the roots of migration and culture, life stories, narratives, and personal anecdotes. It further accentuates Girmitiya struggles, politics of displacement, relationships with the homeland and host land, oral traditions, repercussions, and retention of the archival sites. The cross-examination of memories helps in building a framework to study the varied experiences of the Girmitiya community. In this volume, through a blend of historical and scholarly discourse, we embark on a journey to unearth the layers of meaning embedded within the Girmitya experience. The tales of Girmitya migration amplifies marginalized voices and illuminates the enduring resilience. By chronicling the experiences of the indentured migration, we pay homage to the pioneers, recognize the intricacy of their toils, and commemorate the continuing legacy.

Glacial Isostatic Adjustment: Theory for a Spherically Symmetric Earth and Numerical Results (Springer Geophysics)
by Giorgio Spada Daniele MeliniThis book aims at presenting a synthetic but self-contained theory of Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA), firmly grounded on physics and mathematics. However, at the same time, it also describes various phenomenological aspects, making it appealing also to a broad audience of Earth scientists not having a technical background. The interest on GIA is motivated by the entangled processes involved, reflecting interactions between the solid Earth, the oceans, and the cryosphere. In the context of climate change, GIA has a special role. For example, ground or space-based geodetic methods aimed at observing the mass balance variations of the contemporary ice sheets require a GIA correction before they can be suitably interpreted. For these reasons, GIA modeling has seen a considerable development recently, with a growing attention by a broad audience of scientists in the fields of geophysics, geology, geodesy, and Earth system science.
Glatte Mannigfaltigkeiten
by Claudio GorodskiDieses prägnante und praxisorientierte Lehrbuch präsentiert die Grundlagen der Mathematik auf glatten Mannigfaltigkeiten. Glatte Mannigfaltigkeiten sind ein Schlüsselkonzept in der Mathematik und weit verbreitet: Sie treten auf als Riemannsche Mannigfaltigkeiten in der Differentialgeometrie; als Raum-Zeiten in der Allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie; als Phasenräume und Energieniveaus in der Mechanik; als Definitionsbereiche von gewöhnlichen Differentialgleichungen in dynamischen Systemen; als Lie-Gruppen in Algebra und Geometrie; und in vielen anderen Bereichen.Das Buch präsentiert zunächst die grundlegenden Begriffe und Sätze zu glatten Mannigfaltigkeiten und kulminiert mit dem Frobenius-Theorem, bevor es Tensoren auf Mannigfaltigkeiten behandelt (einschließlich einer Darstellung der äußeren Ableitung von Differentialformen).Es behandelt dann Lie-Gruppen und Lie-Algebren und geht kurz auf homogene Mannigfaltigkeiten ein.Integration auf Mannigfaltigkeiten, Erläuterungen des Stokes-Theorems und der de-Rham-Kohomologie sowie Grundlagen der Differentialtopologie vervollständigen dieses Werk. Es enthält auch Übungen im gesamten Text, um den Lesern zu helfen, die Theorie zu verstehen, sowie anspruchsvollere Probleme für diejenigen, die Herausforderungen mögen, am Ende jedes Kapitels. Konzipiert für einen einsemestrigen Kurs über differentielle Mannigfaltigkeiten und Lie-Gruppen, der von vielen Graduiertenprogrammen weltweit angeboten wird, ist es eine wertvolle Ressource für Studierende und Dozenten gleichermaßen.Die Übersetzung wurde mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz durchgeführt. Eine anschließende menschliche Überarbeitung erfolgte vor allem in Bezug auf den Inhalt.
Gleichungen und Ungleichungen: Klartext Für Nichtmathematiker (Essentials)
by Guido WalzDas Buch vermittelt in leicht verständlicher Sprache die Grundlagen des Lösens von Gleichungen und Ungleichungen. Eines der Hauptthemen ist das Lösen von quadratischen Gleichungen, unabhängig davon, ob sie bereits in Normalform vorliegen oder erst in diese gebracht werden müssen. Als Instrument hierfür behandelt der Autor die p-q-Formel und die Mitternachtsformel. Daneben geht es um lineare Gleichungen sowie ganz allgemein um die Frage, welche Manipulationen man an einer Gleichung vornehmen darf, ohne ihre Lösungen zu ändern. Weiterhin werden die wichtigsten Ungleichungen behandelt und Strategien zu ihrer Lösung aufgezeigt.Der Autor Dr. Guido Walz ist Professor für Angewandte Mathematik an der Wilhelm-Büchner-Hochschule Darmstadt und Dozent an der Dualen Hochschule Baden-Württemberg, Herausgeber des fünfbändigen „Lexikon der Mathematik“ sowie Autor zahlreicher Fachveröffentlichungen und Lehrbücher, z.B. „Mathematik für Fachhochschule und duales Studium“.
