ZAMP was founded in 1950 and translates into "Journal of Applied Mathematics and Physics"
Publishes peer-reviewed scientific papers and brief reports in Fluid Mechanics, Mechanics of Solids
and Differential Equations/Applied Mathematics
Coverage extends to original work in neighbouring domains
The Journal of Applied Mathematics and Physics (ZAMP) publishes papers of high scientific quality in Fluid Mechanics, Mechanics of Solids and Differential Equations/Applied Mathematics. A paper will be considered for publication if at least one of the following conditions is fulfilled:
The paper includes results or discussions which can be considered original and highly interesting.
The paper presents a new method.
The author reviews a problem or a class of problems with such profound insight that further research is encouraged.
The readers of ZAMP will find not only articles in their own special field but also original work in neighbouring domains. This will lead to an exchange of ideas; concepts and methods which have proven to be successful in one field may well be useful to other areas. ZAMP attempts to publish articles reasonably quickly. Longer papers are published in the section "Original Papers", shorter ones may appear under "Brief Reports" where publication is particularly rapid. The journal includes a "Book Review" section and provides information on activities (such as upcoming symposia, meetings or special courses) which are of interest to its readers.
ZDM is one of the oldest mathematics education research journals in publication. The journal surveys, discusses, and builds upon current research and theoretical-based perspectives in mathematics education. In addition, it serves as a forum for critical analysis of issues within the field.
All the papers published in the journal?s seven annual themed issues are strictly by invitation. These papers are subject to an internal peer review by selected members from the editorial board as well as an external review by invited experts. The journal targets readers from around the world in mathematics education research who are interested in current developments in the field.
- Zentralblatt MATH (zbMATH) is the world’s most comprehensive and longest-running abstracting and reviewing service in pure and applied mathematics
- The zbMATH database contains about 4 million bibliographic entries with reviews or abstracts currently drawn from about 3,000 journals and serials, and 180,000 books.
- The coverage starts in the 18th century and is complete from 1868 to the present by the integration of the "Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik" database.
On August 8, 1900 German mathematician David Hilbert gave a speech at the Paris conference of the International Congress of Mathematicians, at the Sorbonne, where he presented 10 mathematical Problems (out of a list of 23) all unsolved at the time, and several of them were very influential for 20th century mathematics.
xd3d is a simple scientific visualization tool designed to be easy to learn. It can plot 2d and 3d meshes, with shadowing, contour plots, vector fields, iso-contour (3d), as well as 3d surfaces z=f(x,y) defined by an algebraic expression or a cloud of points. It generates high quality vector PostScript files for scientific publications and still or animated bitmap images. It includes the graph plotter xgraphic.
Object recognition requires that you know when two shapes are 'similar'. But what does similar mean? The mathematician says: make the set of all (two dimensional, three dimensional or higher) shapes into the points of an infinite-dimensional space and then put a metric on this space reflecting what 'similar' means. The background image is supposed to suggest this construction: here a certain set of eggs with varying shapes are each put in its own pigeon-hole. If, for example, our 'shapes' are taken to be open subsets of Euclidean space with smooth boundaries, then this space will be a Banach or Frechet manifold, but a highly non-linear one. The question of finding the right mathematical model for the space of such shapes is not unlike moduli problems and I tried to get a grip on this as soon as I looked at vision problems.
Around 2004 I met Peter Michor and found that he had systematically developed the foundations of differential geometry of such infinite dimensional spaces. This seemed to be the right tool for studying the above spaces of shapes. Since then, we have been studying various Riemannian metrics on them and their associated completions; the geodesics in these metrics and the curvature of the space; examples and applications to object recognition.
L. Wittgenstein. University Of Chicago Press, Chicago, (October 1989)characterizes mathematical propositions: - Do not have a temporal sense (pp. 34). - Are rules of expression. "the connection between a mathematical proposition and its application is roughly that between a rule of expression and the expression itself in use" (pp. 47). A rule of expression defines what is meaningful and what not, how a particular form should be used, etc. - Is invented to suit experience and then made independent of experience (pp. 43). "In mathematics we have propositions which contain the same symbols as, for example, "write down the integral of..", etc., with the difference that when we have a mathemaitical proposition time doesn't enter into it and in the other it does. Now this is not a metaphisical statement." (pp 34).
