Essential Mathematics for Convex OptimizationWith an emphasis on timeless essential mathematical background for optimization, this textbook provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to convex optimization for students in applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Authored by two influential researchers, the book covers both convex analysis basics and modern topics such as conic programming, conic representations of convex sets, and cone-constrained convex problems, providing readers with a solid, up-to-date understanding of the field. By excluding modeling and algorithms, the authors are able to discuss the theoretical aspects in greater depth. Over 170 in-depth exercises provide hands-on experience with the theory, while the 36 “Facts” and their accompanying proofs enhance approachability. Instructors will appreciate the appendices that cover all necessary background and the instructors-only solutions manual provided online. By the end of the book, readers will be well equipped to engage with state-of-the-art developments in optimization and its applications in decision-making and engineering.ISBN 10: 1009510525ISBN 13: 9781009510523

Experience And EducationExperience and Education is the best concise statement on education ever published by John Dewey, the man acknowledged to be the pre-eminent educational theorist of the twentieth century. Written more than two decades after Democracy and Education (Dewey's most comprehensive statement of his position in educational philosophy), this book demonstrates how Dewey reformulated his ideas as a result of his intervening experience with the progressive schools and in the light of the criticisms his theories had received.Analyzing both "traditional" and "progressive" education, Dr. Dewey here insists that neither the old nor the new education is adequate and that each is miseducative because neither of them applies the principles of a carefully developed philosophy of experience. Many pages of this volume illustrate Dr. Dewey's ideas for a philosophy of experience and its relation to education. He particularly urges that all teachers and educators looking for a new movement in education should think in terms of the deeped and larger issues of education rather than in terms of some divisive "ism" about education, even such an "ism" as "progressivism." His philosophy, here expressed in its most essential, most readable form, predicates an American educational system that respects all sources of experience, on that offers a true learning situation that is both historical and social, both orderly and dynamic.ISBN 10: 0684838281ISBN 13: 9780684838281

Extimidad -Los Cursos Psicoanalíticos de J. A. Miller -Spanish EditionExtimidad la palabra se ha convertido ya en habitual en el campo del psicoanalisis lacaniano y empieza a ser usada mas alla de el. La hemos encontrado tambien en los periodicos como un nombre comun de aquello que siendo muy intimo y familiar se convierte a la vez en algo radicalmente extrano. Y es verdad que esta palabra dice muy bien en su extraneza neologica una propiedad del sujeto de nuestro tiempo un sujeto siempre exiliado de si mismo que solo parece encontrar su ser mas intimo en lo mas lejano y deslocalizado de el. La palabra fue inventada por Jacques Lacan aparece por primera vez en su seminario sobre La etica del psicoanalisis en 1958 y aunque usada solo contadas veces a lo largo de su ensenanza fue repescada y reelaborada por Jacques-Alain Miller en este curso de 1985 que ahora se publica. Desde entonces el termino ha ido penetrando poco a poco y con el poder de un virus intratable en los textos e intervenciones de los alumnos y lectores de Jacques Lacan en la exposicion y comentario de casos clinicos y ha llegado incluso a designar funciones precisas en la experiencia institucional de las Escuelas que conforman la Asociacion Mundial de Psicoanalisis. Al sujeto de nuestro tiempo la extimidad se le hace presente como un goce que toma las formas mas variadas de su sintoma. Ese goce tal como senala aqui Jacques-Alain Miller se le presenta como algo exterior confiado a si mismo rechazado del lenguaje. Ya no es extimo al Otro sino forcluido y retorna en lo real. El lector encontrara asi en este libro nueva entrega del curso de Jacques-Alain Miller en el que se siguen formando varias generaciones de psicoanalistas el modo en que estos deben hacer presente la extimidad propia del psicoanalisis para estar a la altura de su tiempo.ISBN 10: 9501288587ISBN 13: 9789501288582
