  • Music and Displacement

    Diasporas, Mobilities, and Dislocations in Europe and Beyond

    by Sean Campbell, Ruth F. Davis, Björn Heile, Jehoash Hirshberg, Sydney Hutchinson, Max Paddison, Peter Petersen, Jim Samson, Philip V. Bohlman, Michael Beckerman ...
    Series series Europea: Ethnomusicologies and Modernities
    The grand narratives of European music history are informed by the dichotomy of placements and displacements. Yet musicology has thus far largely ignored the phenomenon of displacement and underestimated its significance for musical landscapes and music history. Music and Displacement: Diasporas, Mobilities, and Dislocations in Europe and Beyond constitutes a pioneering volume that aims to fill ... Read more

  • First Steps in Differential Geometry

    Riemannian, Contact, Symplectic

    by Andrew McInerney ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    Differential geometry arguably offers the smoothest transition from the standard university mathematics sequence of the first four semesters in calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations to the higher levels of abstraction and proof encountered at the upper division by mathematics majors. Today it is possible to describe differential geometry as "the study of structures on the tangent ... Read more

  • Essential Linear Algebra with Applications

    A Problem-Solving Approach

    by Titu Andreescu ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    Rooted in a pedagogically successful problem-solving approach to linear algebra, this work fills a gap in the literature that is sharply divided between, on the one end, elementary texts with only limited exercises and examples, and, at the other end, books too advanced in prerequisites and too specialized in focus to appeal to a wide audience. Instead, it clearly develops the theoretical ... Read more
