Sommario/riassunto

This is the first collection of essays to be published on Durkheim's masterpiece The elementary forms of religious life. It represents the work of the most important international Durkheim scholars from the fields of anthropology, philosophy and sociology. The essays focus on key topics including: the method Durkheim adopted in his study, the role of ritual and belief in society, and the nature of contemporary religion. The contributors also explore cutting-edge debates about the notion of the soul and collective rituals.

Sommario/riassunto

The chapters in this volume highlight the state-of-the-art of compressed sensing and are based on talks given at the third international MATHEON conference on the same topic, held from December 4-8, 2017 at the Technical University in Berlin. In addition to methods in compressed sensing, chapters provide insights into cutting edge applications of deep learning in data science, highlighting the overlapping ideas and methods that connect the fields of compressed sensing and deep learning. Specific topics covered include: Quantized compressed sensing Classification Machine learning Oracle inequalities Non-convex optimization Image reconstruction Statistical learning theory This volume will be a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in the areas of mathematics, computer science, and engineering, as well as other applied scientists exploring potential applications of compressed sensing.

Sommario/riassunto

A splendid account of the Supreme Court's rulings on race in the first half of the twentieth century, From Jim Crow To Civil Rights earned rave reviews and won the Bancroft Prize for History in 2005. Now, in this marvelously abridged, paperback edition, Michael J. Klarman has compressed his acclaimed study into tight focus around one major case--Brown v. Board of Education--making the path-breaking arguments of his original work accessible to a broader audience of general readers and students.
