Sommario/riassunto |
|
This collection includes original studies from scholars from thirteen nations, who explore the epistemic features figured in John Dewey's writings in his discourses on public schooling. Pragmatism was one of the weapons used in the struggles about the development of the child who becomes the future citizen. The significance of Dewey in the book is not about Dewey as the messenger of pragmatism, but in locating different cultural, political and educational terrains in which debates about modernity, the modern self and the making of the citizen occurred. |

Sommario/riassunto |

"This book strives to develop a new vision of the value of debt in the management of individual and family wealth. Virtually every company examines both sides of its balance sheet--assets and debts--and consciously strives to achieve an optimal debt ratio. In contrast, the vast majority of individuals, wealthy or not, are either dramatically over leveraged (too much debt) or, conversely, believe that debt is always bad and should be paid off as soon as humanly possible.There are reasons, however, why practically all companies acknowledge the value of debt and seek to have an optimal debt ratio in place. As it turns out, many wealthy individuals and families--from the moderately affluent to the ultra-affluent--can also make use of similar strategies, leading to substantial long-term economic advantage. The strategic use of debt can enable individuals to become progressively wealthier by "capturing the spread" between the cost of debt and the return on investment that potentially can be generated. The use of debt can also help generate |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Want to know not just what makes rockets go up but how to do it optimally? Optimal control theory has become such an important field in aerospace engineering that no graduate student or practicing engineer can afford to be without a working knowledge of it. This is the first book that begins from scratch to teach the reader the basic principles of the calculus of variations, develop the necessary conditions step-by-step, and introduce the elementary computational techniques of optimal control. This book, with problems and an online solution manual, provides the graduate-level reader with enough introductory knowledge so that he or she can not only read the literature and study the next level textbook but can also apply the theory to find optimal solutions in practice. No more is needed than the usual background of an undergraduate engineering, science, or mathematics program: namely calculus, differential equations, and numerical integration. Although finding optimal solutions for these problems is a complex process involving the calculus of variations, the authors carefully lay out step-by-step the most important theorems and concepts. Numerous examples are worked to demonstrate how to apply the theories to everything from classical problems (e.g., crossing a river in minimum time) to engineering problems (e.g., minimum-fuel launch of a satellite). Throughout the book use is made of the time-optimal launch of a satellite into orbit as an important case study with detailed analysis of two examples: launch from the Moon and launch from Earth. For launching into the field of optimal solutions, look no further! . |
