Sommario/riassunto

Paul Gilroy has been a controversial force at the forefront of debates around race, nation, and diaspora. Working across a broad range of disciplines, Gilroy has argued that racial identities are historically constructed, formed by colonization, slavery, nationalist philosophies, and consumer capitalism.Paul Williams introduces Gilroy's key themes and ideas, including:the essential concepts, including ethnic absolutism, civilizationism, postcolonial melancholia, iconization, and the 'black Atlantic'analysis of Gilroy's broad-ranging cul

Sommario/riassunto

The book provides an introduction to optimization theory and its



applications. It is written for senior under-graduate students and first-year graduate students of telecommunication and related fields. Most applications pertain to communication and network problems. Optimization theory involves a great deal of mathematics. The book has practical examples to accompany rigorous discussion so that the reader may develop intuitive understanding on relevant concepts. The materials have been developed from course notes. By attempting to cover convex, linear, and integer optimization for a one-semester course, the author focuses on fundamental concepts and techniques rather than trying to be comprehensive. Infact, the book is written with the main intention to serve as a bridge for students with no prior background in optimization to be able to access more advanced books on the subject later on.--Provided by publisher.
