Sommario/riassunto |
|
Who were the first people to invent a world-historical mission for the British Empire? And what were the constituencies behind the development of the imperialistic thinking in mid-Victorian England? These questions are vital for understanding where the New Imperialism of the late nineteenth century came from. Empire as the Triumph of Theory takes as its sample the more than two hundred earliest members of the first major pro-imperial pressure group: the Colonial Society (founded in 1868, it is now the Royal Commonwealth Society).The book goes on to a careful and well-written tour |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
These are the proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Domain Decomposition Methods in Science and Engineering, which was held in Svalbard, Norway in February 2017. Domain decomposition methods are iterative methods for solving the often very large systems of equations that arise when engineering problems are discretized, |

frequently using finite elements or other modern techniques. These methods are specifically designed to make effective use of massively parallel, high-performance computing systems. The book presents both theoretical and computational advances in this domain, reflecting the state of art in 2017. |
