This open access volume explains the foundations of modern solvers for ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Formulating and solving ODEs is an essential part of mathematical modeling and computational science, and numerous solvers are available in commercial and open source software. However, no single ODE solver is the best choice for every single problem, and choosing the right solver requ…

This open access book offers an initial introduction to programming for scientific and computational applications using the Python programming language. The presentation style is compact and example-based, making it suitable for students and researchers with little or no prior experience in programming. The book uses relevant examples from mathematics and the natural sciences to present pr…

Editors: Kathrin Herrmann and Kimberley Jayne Animal experimentation has been one of the most controversial areas of animal use, mainly due to the intentional harms inflicted upon animals for the sake of hoped-for benefits in humans. Despite this rationale for continued animal experimentation, shortcomings of this practice have become increasingly more apparent and well-documented. However, th…

Folgt man den aktuellen UNO-Berichten, steht die Welt an einem kritischen Scheidepunkt, der eine Transformation auf verschiedenen Ebenen verlangt. Dieses Open Access-Fachbuch zeigt in 13 Kapiteln im Sinne von aktuellen Werkstattberichten auf, wie und unter welchen Bedingungen Wandel und Transformation stattfinden, wie sie unterstützt und skaliert werden können. Einige der Transformationsproje…

To set the stage for our study of ultralight bosonic dark matter (UBDM), we review the evidence for the existence of dark matter: galactic and stellar dynamics, gravitational lensing studies, measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB), surveys of the large-scale structure of the universe, and the observed abundance of light elements. This diverse array of observational …
