The Muslim World in the 21st Century: Space, Power, and Human Development


The Muslim World in the 21st Century: Space, Power, and Human Development
Publisher: ...inger | ISBN: 9400726325 | 2012 | PDF | 383 pages | 5 MB

Islam is not only a religion, but also a culture, tradition, and civilization. There are currently 1.5 billion people in the world who identify themselves as Muslim. Two thirds of the worldwide Muslim population, i.e. approximately a billion people, live in forty-eight Muslim majority countries (MMC) in the world�C all of which except one are in Africa and Asia. Of these MMCs in Africa and Asia, only twelve (inhabited by about 165 million people) have ever achieved a high score on the Human Development Index (HDI), the index that measures life expectancy at birth, education and standard of living and ranks how developed a country is. This means that the majority of the world s Muslim population lives in poverty with low or medium level of human development. The contributions to this innovative volume attempt to determine why this is. They explore the influence of environment, space, and power on human development. The result is a complex, interdisciplinary study of all MMCs in Africa and Asia. It offers new insights into the current state of the Muslim World, and provides a theoretical framework for studying human development from an interdisciplinary social, cultural economic, environmental, political, and religious perspective, which will be applicable to regional and cultural studies of space and power in other regions of the world.

Applied Linear Algebra and Matrix Analysis



This book is about matrix and linear algebra, and their applications. For

many students the tools of matrix and linear algebra will be as fundamental

in their professional work as the tools of calculus; thus it is important to

ensure that students appreciate the utility and beauty of these subjects as

well as the mechanics. To this end, applied mathematics and mathematical

modeling ought to have an important role in an introductory treatment of

linear algebra. In this way students see that concepts of matrix and linear

algebra make concrete problems workable.

In this book we weave significant motivating examples into the fabric of

the text. I hope that instructors will not omit this material; that would be

a missed opportunity for linear algebra! The text has a strong orientation

toward numerical computation and applied mathematics, which means that

matrix analysis plays a central role. All three of the basic components of lin-

ear algebra — theory, computation, and applications — receive their due.

The proper balance of these components gives students the tools they need

as well as the motivation to acquire these tools. Another feature of this text

is an emphasis on linear algebra as an experimental science; this emphasis is

found in certain examples, computer exercises, and projects. Contemporary

mathematical software make ideal “labs” for mathematical experimentation.

Nonetheless, this text is independent of specific hardware and software plat-

forms. Applications and ideas should take center stage, not software.

This book is designed for an introductory course in matrix and linear

algebra. Here are some of its main goals:

• To provide a balanced blend of applications, theory, and computation that

emphasizes their interdependence.

• To assist those who wish to incorporate mathematical experimentation

through computer technology into the class. Each chapter has computer

exercises sprinkled throughout and an optional section on computational

notes. Students should use the locally available tools to carry out the experiments suggested in the project and use the word processing capabilities

of their computer system to create reports of results.

To help students to express their thoughts clearly. Requiring written re-

ports is one vehicle for teaching good expression of mathematical ideas.

To encourage cooperative learning. Mathematics educators are becoming

increasingly appreciative of this powerful mode of learning. Team projects

and reports are excellent vehicles for cooperative learning.

To promote individual learning by providing a complete and readable text.

I hope that readers will find the text worthy of being a permanent part of

their reference library, particularly for the basic linear algebra needed in

the applied mathematical sciences.

ANALYSIS, CONTROL AND OPTIMIZATION OF COMPLEX DYNAMIC SYSTEMS



Complex systems present important challenges, in part due to their sheer size, which makes it difficult to grasp their dynamic behavior, optimize their operations, or study their reliability. Yet we live in a world where, due to increasing inter-dependencies and networking of systems, complexity has become the norm. This book gathers in a single volume a spectrum of complex dynamic systems-related papers written by experts in their fields, and strongly representative of current research trends.

Analysis and Synthesis of Fuzzy Control Systems A Model-Based Approach



Fuzzy logic control (FLC) has proven to be a popular control methodology for many complex systems in industry, and is often used with great success as an alternative to conventional control techniques. However, because it is fundamentally model free, conventional FLC suffers from a lack of tools for systematic stability analysis and controller design. To address this problem, many model-based fuzzy control approaches have been developed, with the fuzzy dynamic model or the Takagi and Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model-based approaches receiving the greatest attention. Analysis and Synthesis of Fuzzy Control Systems: A Model-Based Approachoffers a unique reference devoted to the systematic analysis and synthesis of model-based fuzzy control systems. After giving a brief review of the varieties of FLC, including the TS fuzzy model-based control, it fully explains the fundamental concepts of fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic, and fuzzy systems. This enables the book to be self-contained and provides a basis for later chapters, which cover: TS fuzzy modeling and identification via nonlinear models or data Stability analysis of TS fuzzy systems Stabilization controller synthesis as well as robust H and observer and output feedback controller synthesis Robust controller synthesis of uncertain TS fuzzy systems Time-delay TS fuzzy systems Fuzzy model predictive control Robust fuzzy filtering Adaptive control of TS fuzzy systems A reference for scientists and engineers in systems and control, the book also serves the needs of graduate students exploring fuzzy logic control. It readily demonstrates that conventional control technology and fuzzy logic control can be elegantly combined and further developed so that disadvantages of conventional FLC can be avoided and the horizon of conventional control technology greatly extended. Many chapters feature application simulation examples and practical numerical examples based on MATLAB.

BEBOP TO THE BOOLEAN BOOGIE An unconwentional guide to electronics fundamentals, components, and processes



My first exposure to the unique writing style of Clive (call me “Max”)

Maxfield was a magazine article that he co-wrote with an associate. The

article was technically brilliant (he paid me to say that) and very infor-

mative, but it was the short biography at the end of the piece that I enjoyed

the most. I say enjoyed the most because, as you will soon learn, Max does

not necessarily follow the herd or dance to the same drummer as the masses.

Trade journals have a reputation for being informative and educational but

also as dry as West Texas real estate. Anyway, Max’s personally submitted biography not only included a

message from his mom, but also made mention of the fact that he (Max)

is taller than his co-author, who just happened to be his boss at the time.

Now to some people this may seem irrelevant, but to our readers (and Max’s

boss), these kind of things-trivial as they may seem to the uninitiated-

are what helps us to maintain our off-grid sense of the world. Max has

become, for better or worse, a part of that alternate life experience.

So now it’s a couple of years later, and Max has asked me to write a

few words by way of introduction. Personally, I think that the title of this

tome alone (hmmm, a movie?) should provide some input as to what YOU

can expect, But, for those who require a bit more: be forewarned, dear

reader, YOU will probably learn far more than you could hope to expect from

Bebop to the Boolean Boogie, just because of the unique approach Max has

to technical material. The author will guide you from the basics through

a minefield of potentially boring theoretical mish-mash, to a Nirvana

of understanding. You will not suffer that fate familiar to every reader:

was trying to say. For a limey, Max shoots amazingly well and from the hip,

but in a way that will keep you interested and amused. If you are not

vigilant, you may not only learn something, but you may even enjoy the

process. The only further advice I can give is to “expect the unexpected.”
