Peter M. Nardi's approach helps students sharpen their critical thinking skills and improve their analytical reasoning, enabling them to ward off gullibility, develop insightful skepticism, and ask the right questions about material online, in the mass media, or in scholarly publications. Students will learn to understand common errors in thinking; create reliable and valid research methodologies; understand social science concepts needed to make sense of popular and academic claims; and communicate, apply, and integrate the methods learned in both research and daily life. A companion website includes links to articles and books mentioned in the chapters, illustrative items, videos, and current news and research that elaborate on each chapter's key concepts. 606 $aCritical thinking 610 $aacademic. 610 $aanalysis. 610 $aanalytical reasoning. 610 $aasking questions. 610 $aclassroom. 610 $aclose reading. 610 $acollege. 610 $acritical thinking. 610 $ahigh school. 610 $akey concepts. 610 $amass media. 610 $amulti media. 610 $apractical. 610 $areading skills. 610 $aresearch methodologies. 610 $aresearch methods. 610 $aresearch skills. 610 $aresearch. 610 $ascholarly publications. 610 $ascholarly. 610 $askeptic. 610 $askepticism. 610 $asocial science. 610 $astudents. 610 $astudy skills. 610 $auniversity. 610 $auseful. 610 $avideos. 610 $awriting skills. 615 0$aCritical thinking. 676 $a160 700 $aNardi$b Peter M.$01028095 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794759703321 996 $aCritical Thinking$93730888 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03731nam 22007215 450 001 9910882898203321 005 20260113110133.0 010 $a3-031-64189-2 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-64189-3 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31616492 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31616492 035 $a(CKB)34275355900041 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31621500 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31621500 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-64189-3 035 $a(EXLCZ)9934275355900041 100 $a20240826d2024 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aResearch Topics in Analysis, Volume II $eApplications /$fby Shouchuan Hu, Nikolaos S.

It empowers young researchers with key techniques and applications to explore various subfields of this broad subject and introduces relevant frameworks for immediate deployment. The applications list begins with Degree Theory, a useful tool for studying nonlinear equations. Chapter 2 deals with Fixed Point Theory, and Chapter 3 introduces Critical Point Theory. Chapter 4 presents the main spectral properties of linear, nonlinear, anisotropic, and double-phase differential operators. Chapter 5 covers semilinear and nonlinear elliptic equations with different boundary conditions, while Chapter 6 addresses dynamic systems monitored by ordinary and partial differential equations. Chapter 7 delves into optimal control problems, and Chapter 8 discusses some economic models, providing a brief presentation of Game Theory and Nash equilibrium. By offering a clear and comprehensive overview of modern analysis tools and applications, this work can greatly benefit mature graduate students seeking research topics, as well as experienced researchers interested in this vast and rich field of mathematics. 410 0$aBirkhäuser Advanced Texts Basler Lehrbücher,$x2296-4894 606 $aFunctional analysis 606 $aTopology 606 $aMathematical optimization 606 $aCalculus of variations 606 $aMathematics 606 $aFunctional Analysis 606 $aTopology 606 $aCalculus of Variations and Optimization 606 $aApplications of Mathematics 606 $aAnàlisi matemàtica$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aFunctional analysis. 615 0$aTopology. 615 0$aMathematical optimization. 615 0$aCalculus of variations. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 14$aFunctional Analysis. 615 24$aTopology. 615 24$aCalculus of Variations and Optimization. 615 24$aApplications of Mathematics. 615 7$aAnàlisi matemàtica 676 $a515.7 700 $aHu$b Shouchuan$0730634 702 $aPapageorgiou$b Nikolaos S. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910882898203321 996 $aResearch Topics in Analysis, Volume II$94431280 997 $aUNINA
