Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - From independence in 1965, Singapore has experienced a meteoric rise to a modern developed city-state. What is less known is the part played by its foreign policy or by the men and women who contributed to its implementation and success. Here, several of Singapore's senior diplomats and Ambassadors tell in their own words, how they did their work, their experiences, their achievements and the challenges that they faced in promoting and safeguarding Singapore's strategic security and economic interests.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - For the past two decades, The Baby Bear Book has been the 'go-to' text for healthcare professionals caring for sick children in Singapore. With an emphasis on the clinical aspects of paediatric care, the 4th edition includes important revisions and new chapters by experienced clinicians to enhance its usefulness in today's practice. The Baby Bear Book is a practical guide which provides the latest evidence-based information that is relevant to the care of children from newborn through adolescence.This book provides key messages from the relevant literature and practical solutions to real problems faced by those who work with sick children, presented by experienced, expert paediatricians. It is a ready reference for paediatricians and family physicians at every stage of their training, and long after.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Partial differential equations (PDEs) are the mathematical cornerstone for describing an astonishingly wide range of phenomena, from quantum mechanics and ocean waves, to the diffusion of heat in matter and the behavior of financial markets. Despite the efforts of many famous mathematicians, physicists and engineers, the solution of partial differential equations remains a challenge. This book's authors introduce a novel method, the unified transform, which greatly facilitates this challenge. Two and a half centuries after Jean d'Alembert formulated the wave equation and presented a solution for solving a simple problem for this equation, this book introduces a generalization of the d'Alembert solution, which is valid for general boundary value problems. Moreover, two centuries after Joseph Fourier introduced the classical tool of the Fourier series for solving the heat equation, it offers a new solution of this problem, which has important analytical and numerical advantages in comparison to the classical solutions. The authors present the unified transform pedagogically, building all the necessary background, including functions of real and of complex variables and the Fourier transform, illustrating the method with numerous examples. Modern Mathematical Methods for Scientists and Engineers is a modern introduction to basic topics in mathematics at the undergraduate level, with emphasis on explanations and applications to real-life problems. There are also 'Application' sections at the end of each chapter, with topics drawn from a variety of areas, including neural networks, fluid dynamics, and the behavior of put and call options in financial markets. In addition to the unified transform, the book presents several modern important and computationally efficient topics, including feed-forward neural networks, wavelets, generalized functions, stochastic optimization methods, and numerical methods. Broad in scope, but pedagogical in style and content, the book is an introduction to powerful mathematical concepts and modern tools for students in science and engineering'.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This book is designed for beginners who possess no previous knowledge or familiarity with derivatives. Written in an easy-to-read style, it guides readers through the challenging and complex world of forwards, futures, options, and swaps. The emphasis on Asian markets and contracts enables easier understanding. Financial derivative contracts from Malaysia and select contracts from Thailand, Singapore, and Hong Kong derivative markets are covered. For each derivative contract, their three common applications hedging, arbitrage, and speculating are shown with fully worked out examples. Extensive use of illustrations, graphics, and vignettes provide for easy comprehension of the underlying logic of derivatives.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Information Technology project management has changed dramatically over recent years. Drawing on the experiences of successful project management beyond the IT industry and synergizing cutting edge research with well-established practices in the IT industry, this book prefigures the 'next normal' in IT project management.As a milestone publication, this book augments and boosts the specialized body of knowledge in IT project management by capturing and consolidating key elements of this knowledge base. Chapters are presented in four distinct sections, each examining a different aspect of IT project management which includes - generic project management methodologies; teambuilding in relation to stakeholder management; the Iron Triangle of Time, Cost, Quality, and Risk; and new and innovative technologies and software for improved project management. Substantiated case studies and practical guidelines are designed to be of value to practitioners at all levels of IT project management: from novices' to experienced practitioners, while collectively elevating the body of knowledge and skills needed. This book aims to upgrade and update the knowledge of current practice to novices; offer pointers to experienced practitioners on potential areas for improvement; and provide innovative insights to undergraduates, researchers and other academics on the development, appreciation and application of IT project management knowledge.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Volume I contains a long article by Misha Gromov based on his many years of involvement in this subject. It came from lectures delivered in Spring 2019 at IHES. There is some background given. Many topics in the field are presented, and many open problems are discussed. One intriguing point here is the crucial role played by two seemingly unrelated analytic means: index theory of Dirac operators and geometric measure theory. Very recently there have been some real breakthroughs in the field. Volume I has several survey articles written by people who were responsible for these results. For Volume II, many people in areas of mathematics and physics, whose work is somehow related to scalar curvature, were asked to write about this in any way thay pleased. This gives rise to a wonderful collection of articles, some with very broad and historical views, others which discussed specific fascinating subjects. These two books give a rich and powerful view of one of geometry's very appealing sides.
