The Nine Chapters on The Mathematical Art: Companion And Commentary

The subject of (static) optimization, also called mathematical programming, is one of the most important and widespread branches of modern mathematics, serving as a cornerstone of such scientific subjects as economic analysis, operations research, management sciences, engineering, chemistry, physics, statistics, computer science, biology, and social sciences. This book presents a unified, progressive treatment of the basic mathematical tools of mathematical programming theory. The authors expose said tools, along with results concerning the most common mathematical programming problems formulated in a finite-dimensional setting, forming the basis for further study of the basic questions on the various algorithmic methods and the most important particular applications of mathematical programming problems. This book assumes no previous experience in optimization theory, and the treatment of the various topics is largely self-contained. Prerequisites are the basic tools of differential calculus for functions of several variables, the basic notions of topology and of linear algebra, and the basic mathematical notions and theoretical background used in analyzing optimization problems. The book is aimed at both undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in mathematical programming problems but also those professionals who use optimization methods and wish to learn the more theoretical aspects of these questions.

This book offers a wide range of interesting correlations beyond the domains of dynamical systems, complex systems, and fractal geometry. Exploring complex systems and their properties using the fractal approaches, this book provides initial solutions for new areas where fractal theory has yet to verify its

This proceedings volume gathers selected contributions presented at two instances of the "JSPS/SAC Seminar: On Gas Kinetic/Dynamics and Life Science", held by the Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg, Sweden, on March 25-26, 2021 (virtual) and March 17-18, 2022 (virtual).

In 2011, The Bad Plus invited saxophonist Joshua Redman to join them for a week of enthusiastically received performances at the Blue Note in New York City. They then played a handful of dates before heading into the studio in 2014 to record "The Bad Plus Joshua Redman". Seven of the nine tracks on the LP are new compositions by the quartet members who, in addition to Reid Anderson and Redman, include The Bad Plus pianist Ethan Iverson and drummer David King. The other two songs on the album, "Dirty Blonde" and "Silence Is the Question", are new arrangements of Bad Plus favorites.

Bruce and the E Street Band's two-night stand at the Bercy in Paris is considered one of the best stops on the 2012 European tour and merits companion releases. July 4, 2012 includes special Fourth of July performances of "Sandy" and a solo-piano "Independence Day." Night two at the Bercy in Paris sees Bruce change up the setlist dramatically, offering 15 different songs to night one, including an outstanding run of six to start the show: "The Ties That Bind," "No Surrender," "Two Hearts," "Downbound Train," "Candy's Room" and "Something In The Night."
