Mathematical Analysis, Volume 1 The Zakon Series on Mathematical Analysis
This text grew out of the lecture notes from the author at the University of Windsor and was originally copyrighted in 1975. It is now published by the Trillia Group, a publishing company started by his son-in-law, Bradley Lucier, a professor of mathematics and computer science at Purdue. The level of the book is appropriate for a rigorous analysis course. The author writes in the introduction …

Math in Society
In this textbook there are fourteen chapters that are mostly indpendent of each other. For a typical semester course the instructor can choose several of the sections but would not be able to cover all of them. The text is full of exercises and activities to keep the students actively engaged. Each chapter has a number of short videos to emphasize the key ideas or show how to solve examples.

EIB Working Paper 2022/02 - How to foster climate innovation in the European …
Relying on the EIB Online Survey on Climate Innovations, we investigate the different climate innovations European firms are currently using, their motivations and challenges, and their views on current regulatory frameworks. The analysis confirms that there’s a strong link between climate innovation and firm performance, but also that firms suffer from the low availability of finance. To cre…

Providing orbit information with predetermined bounded accuracy
The exchange of orbit information is becoming more important in view of the increasing population of objects in space as well as the increase in parties involved in space operations. The aim of this thesis was to investigate how orbit information maintained by a space surveillance system can be provided to its users. Services like collision avoidance require very accurate information, while oth…

Chapter 24 FOOD AS COMMONS
This book was motivated by the need to approach with a fresh look what we regard as perhaps the most embarrassing predicament of the Anthropocene/Capitalocene (Capra and Mattei, 2015, Altvater et al., 2016, Moore, 2017). We live in an era with roughly the same number (about one billion) of over-fed people and of people lacking access to nutritious food (which means that do not know in the morni…

Biologically Inspired Robotics
Robotic engineering inspired by biology—biomimetics—has many potential applications: robot snakes can be used for rescue operations in disasters, snake-like endoscopes can be used in medical diagnosis, and artificial muscles can replace damaged muscles to recover the motor functions of human limbs. Conversely, the application of robotics technology to our understanding of biological systems…
