• Sommario/riassunto: People everywhere are more dependent than ever on foreign migrants, products, and ideas—and more xenophobic. Intolerance and hate-based violence is on the rise in countries from Hungary to South Africa, threatening global security. With Interdependent Yet Intolerant, Robert Mandel explains why we live in an unexpectedly and increasingly hateful world, why existing policies have done little to help, and what needs to be done. Through an in-depth analysis of case studies from twelve diverse countries that have experienced violence between native citizens and foreign migrants, Mandel finds that the interdependence of the current liberal international order does not breed mutual understanding between groups through increased contact, but rather, under specific conditions, stimulates boomerang effects in the exact opposite direction. And the very policy measures intended to decrease ; violence—from heightened border enforcement intended to minimize instability, to intergovernmental payoffs to other countries to keep foreigners away, as in the EU—only inflame intolerance and promote global insecurity. Providing practical policy recommendations for managing identity-based violence in an age of mass migration and globalization, Interdependent Yet Intolerant calls on societies around the world to rethink their predominant notions of national identity and control.

• Sommario/riassunto: This book is designed to be an introductory course to some basic chapters of Advanced Mathematics for Engineering and Physics students, researchers in different branches of Applied Mathematics and anyone wanting to improve their mathematical knowledge by a clear, live, self-contained and motivated text. Here, one can find different topics, such as differential (first order or higher order) equations, systems of differential equations, Fourier series, Fourier and Laplace transforms, partial differential equations, some basic facts and applications of the calculus of variations and, last but not least, an original and more intuitive introduction to probability theory. All these topics are carefully introduced, with complete proofs, motivations, examples, applications, problems and exercises, which are completely solved at the end of the book. We added a generous supplementary material (11.1) with a self-contained and complete introduction to normed, metric and Hilbert spaces. Since we used some topics from complex function theory, we also introduced in Chapter 11 a section (11.2) with the basic facts in this important field. What a reader needs for a complete understanding of this book? For a deep understanding of this book, it is required to take a course in undergraduate calculus and linear algebra. We mostly tried to use the engineering intuition instead of insisting on mathematical tricks. The main feature of the material presented here is its clarity, motivation and the genuine desire of the authors to make extremely transparent the "mysterious" mathematical tools that are used to describe and organize the great variety of impressions that come to the searching mind, from the infinite complexity of Nature. The book is recommended not only to engineering and physics students or researchers but also to junior students in mathematics because it shows the connection between pure ; mathematics and physical phenomena, which always supply motivations for mathematical discoveries.
