Eulers Elements of Algebra Sangwin Chris

2007 is the three hundredth anniversary of the birth of Leonhard Euler. As a result there is likely to be a resurgence of interest in him and of course his work. His Elements of Algebra is one of the first books to set out elementary algebra in the modern form we would recognize today. However, it is sufficiently different from most modern approaches to the subject to be interesting for contemporary readers. Indeed, the choices made for setting out the curriculum, and the details of the techniques Euler employs, may surprise even expert readers. It is also the only mathematical work of Euler which is genuinely accessible to all. The work opens with a discussion of the nature of numbers and the signs + and -, before systematically developing algebra to a point at which polynomial equations of the fourth degree can be solved, first by an exact formula and then approximately. Euler's style

M48 Patton vs Centurion Higgins David R.

The Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 witnessed the largest tank battles seen since World War II, notably between India's British-made Centurion Mk 7s and the American-made M48 Pattons fielded by Pakistan. Following nearly two decades of tensions and sporadic conflict between India and Pakistan, in August 1965 several thousand Pakistani soldiers entered the disputed territory of Kashmir disguised as local civilians, to which India responded with a successful ground assault. After a week of fighting, India's 1st "Black Elephant" Armoured Division launched an offensive toward Sialkot, where it rebuffed Pakistan's 6th Armoured Division, which suffered considerable tank losses. The ensuing battle at Chawinda on 14-16 September 1965 would demonstrate that the Centurion, with its 105mm gun and heavier armour, generally proved superior to the faster, lighter but overly complex Patton, mounting a 90mm main gun; however, the latter performed exceedingly well in the Sialkot sector, exacting a disproportionately heavy toll on its Indian opponents. Featuring full-colour artwork, expert analysis and absorbing combat accounts, this is the story of the clash between the Centurion and the M48 Patton in the massed armour battles of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965.

Selecting Europes Judges Bobek Michal Professor of European Law College of Europe Bruges and Research Fellow Institute o...

The past decade has witnessed change in the ways judges for the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights are selected The leitmotif has been securing greater professional quality of the judicial candidates and for this purpose both European systems have put in place various advisory panels or selection committees that are called to evaluate the aptitude of the candidates put forward by the national governments Are these institutional reforms successful in guaranteeing greater quality of the judicial candidates? Do they increase the legitimacy of the European courts? Has the creation of these advisory panels in any way altered the institutional balance either horizontally within the international organisations or vertically between the respective organisation and its Member States? Above all has the spree of judicial comitology as currently practised a good way for selecting Europe s judges? These and a number of other questions are addressed in this topical volume in a comparative and interdisciplinary prospective The book is structured into two elements: first how the operation of the new selection mechanisms is captured and analyzed from different vantage points and secondly having mapped the ground the book critically and comparatively engages with selected common themes examining the new mechanisms with respect to values and principles such as democracy judicial independence transparency representativeness and legitimacy

F4U Corsair vs Ki-84 Frank Young Edward M.

The Vought Corsair was the first American single-engine fighter to exceed four hundred mph, establishing dominance over the Mitsubishi Type Zero-sen with a kill ratio greater than ten to one. The Ki-84 Hayate was introduced by the Japanese specifically to counter this growing American dominance of the skies over the Pacific. Built in greater numbers than any other late-war Japanese fighter, nearly three thousand were completed between 1944 and 1945.This volume examines the clashes between the Corsair and Ki-84 in the closing stages of the war, revealing how Corsair pilots had to adapt their techniques and combat strategies to account for these newer types, which proved harder to shoot down. It also reveals how the eventual six-to-one kill rate was largely driven by the reduced quality of Japanese fighter pilots due to the high casualty rates inflicted on the Japanese Air Force

Der innenpolitische Sicherheitsdiskurs in Deutschland - Baban, Constance Pary

​Das Politikfeld der Inneren Sicherheit ist seit 9/11 verstarkt im Wandel begriffen. Dieser Wandel, so die These, wurde zunachst sprachlich realisiert, denn (Un-)Sicherheit sowie Bedrohungen werden in der Offentlichkeit sprachlich konstruiert und zugleich wird sprachlich eine Legitimationsbasis für politische Entscheidungen geschaffen. 9/11 musste deshalb in seiner Relevanz für die Bundesrepublik gedeutet sowie verschiedene Bedrohungsszenarien und deren sicherheitspolitische Bearbeitung von den sicherheitspolitischen Akteuren entworfen werden. Den sicherheitspolitischen Wandel als diskursive Konstruktion zu begreifen, tragt der Interpendenz von Sprache, Diskurs und Sicherheitspolitik Rechnung. Uber die Analyse des bundespolitischen Diskurses zur Inneren Sicherheit konnen seine konstitutiven Elemente dekonstruiert und die Frage nach anderen Rekonstruktionen gestellt
