Angelo Guerragio and Giovanni Paolini analyze Volterra?s most important contributions to mathematics and their applications, as well as his outstanding organizational achievements in scientific policy. Volterra was one of the founding fathers of functional analysis and the author of fundamental contributions in the field of integral equations, elasticity theory and population dynamics (Lotka-Volterra model). He delivered keynote lectures on the occasion of the International Congresses of Mathematicians held in Paris (1900), Rome (1908), Strasbourg (1920) and Bologna (1928).   He became involved in the scientific development in united Italy and was appointed senator of the kingdom in 1905. One of his numerous non-mathematical activities was founding the National Research Council (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, CNR).   During the First World War he was active in military research. After the war he took a clear stand against fascism, which was the starting point for his exclusion. In 1926 he resigned as president of the world famous Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei and was later on excluded from the academy. In 1931 he was one of the few university lecturers who denied to swear an oath of allegiance to the fascistic regime. In 1938 he suffered from the impact of the racial laws.   The authors draw a comprehensive picture of Vito Volterra, both as a great mathematician and an organizer of science. 606 $aMathematicians$zItaly$vBiography 615 0$aMathematicians 676 $a510.92 676 $a574/.0724 700 $aGuerraggio$b Angelo$f1948-$039397 701 $aPaoloni$b Giovanni$066148 701 $aWilliams$b Kim$0779670 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438143403321 996 $aVito Volterra$94193525 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04905nam 22005655 450 001 9910298072203321 005 20220810052608.0 010 $a3-319-94652-8 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-94652-8 035 $a(CKB)4100000005323234 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-94652-8 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5476819 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000005323234 100 $a20180724d2018 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aEmpowering Engagement $eCreating Learning Opportunities for Students from Challenging Backgrounds /$fby Clarence Ng, Brendan Bartlett, Stephen N.

Engagement for What Purpose? Engagement Towards What Outcome? Empowering Engagement for Students from Disadvantaged Backgrounds. . 330 $aThis book examines promoting engagement for children and adolescents from challenging contexts or who are dealing with challenging conditions. The volume concentrates on three vulnerable groups: marginalized youths who have experienced repeated exclusion and sought their second chance in alternative education; children who are coming from economically, culturally, and linguistically disadvantaged backgrounds; and students with social or emotional issues. It defines engagement as evolving over the course of learning, an interpersonal as well as personal process involving students, learning environment, teachers, and peers. Chapters identify the complex personal, sociocultural, economic, and systemic barriers that keep these vulnerable students from fully engaging in school, and explore the enabling role of collaborative and supported learning activities in building academic success and a foundation for productive adult lives. In addition, chapters present instructional practices based on engagement enablers. Chapters also pinpoint specific learning skills and subject areas that can provide openings for promoting motivation and participation. Featured topics include: The importance of cognitive and social enablers for promoting learning engagement. Engagement in instruction from teachers and testing within classrooms. Student voice and perspective as a reading engagement enabler. Promoting academic engagement and aspiration for challenging and advanced mathematics. Alternative educational programs for re-engaging marginalized youths who ?don?t fit?. Empowering Engagement is a must-have resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, clinicians, and graduate students in the fields of child and school psychology, educational policy and politics, social work, motivation and learning, schooling and pedagogies, and related disciplines. 606 $aChild psychology 606 $aSchool psychology 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aSocial service 606 $aChild and School Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12040 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O19000 606 $aSocial Work$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X21000 615 0$aChild psychology. 615 0$aSchool psychology. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aSocial service. 615 14$aChild and School Psychology. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aSocial Work. 676 $a155.4 676 $a155.424 700 $aNg$b Clarence$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0765860 702 $aBartlett$b Brendan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aElliott$b Stephen N$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298072203321 996 $aEmpowering Engagement$92215713 997 $aUNINA
