Solutions to the Exercises.Basic Linear Algebra is a text for first year students, working from concrete examples towards abstract theorems, via tutorial-type exercises. The book explains the algebra of matrices with applications to analytic geometry, systems of linear equations, difference equations, and complex numbers. Linear equations are treated via Hermite normal forms, which provides a successful and concrete explanation of the notion of linear independence. Another highlight is the connection between linear mappings and matrices, leading to the change of basis theorem which opens the door to the notion of similarity. The authors are well known algebraists with considerable experience of teaching introductory courses on linear algebra to students at St Andrews. This book is based on one previously published by Chapman and Hall, but it has been extensively updated to include further explanatory text and fully worked solutions to the exercises that all 1st year students should be able to answer.Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series,1615-2085AlgebraMathematicsMatrix theoryAlgebrahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11000Mathematics, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M00009Linear and Multilinear Algebras, Matrix Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11094Algebra.Mathematics.Matrix theory.Algebra.Mathematics, general.Linear and Multilinear Algebras, Matrix Theory.512/.5Blyth Thomas Sauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut728657Robertson Edmund Fauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910478918503321Basic Linear Algebra1944865UNINA04598nam 22007095 450 991050637940332120230810232957.09789811637544981163754710.1007/978-981-16-3754-4(CKB)4950000000281600(MiAaPQ)EBC6784274(Au-PeEL)EBL6784274(OCoLC)1287129431(PPN)258302011(DE-He213)978-981-16-3754-4(EXLCZ)99495000000028160020211016d2021 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBreaking the Silos for Planetary Health A Roadmap for a Resilient Post-Pandemic World /by Nicole de Paula1st ed. 2021.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2021.1 online resource (216 pages)9789811637537 9811637539 1 Introduction -- 2 Re-Imagining human health in the Anthropocene -- 3 Connecting the dots..How the current planetary emergency affects our health and well-being- 4 Breaking out mental and institutional silos for positive transformation -- 5 The corridors of power as a stress test for planetary health -- 6 Tackling inequalities to unleash the full potential of planetary health.This book translates the latest theoretical perspectives on the emerging field of Planetary Health Studies into the practical reality of global political decision makers. It builds on the scientific data on the impacts of environmental change on human health to propose practical methods for operationalizing planetary health. The book maps opportunities for decision makers to break institutional silos and engage with bottom-up approaches that can transform planetary health from a global idea into a local reality. The analysis frames human health in the Anthropocene, an era in which humans have become the most powerful force affecting global ecosystems, and reveals new existential risks for humankind. Departing from ongoing multilateral efforts to promote sustainability, the author's analysis places the agenda of planetary health on the desk of political decision makers, still underrepresented at planetary health gatherings. Given the pressing need to implement sustainable development policies, the book presents planetary health as an overarching framework for global policy targets, notably the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and the post-2020 biodiversity framework under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. The book is timely in offering a concrete road map for practitioners and researchers interested in transforming the concept of planetary health into reality. With a collection of success stories, the analysis dwells on tools for community engagement, opportunities for health professionals training, gender empowerment, digital health, and innovative ways to enhance human well-being on a changing planet.
