Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes

Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes

Fads are as common in mathematics as in any other human activity and it is always difficult to separate the enduring from the ephemeral in the achievements of one’s own time. An unfortunate effect of the predominance of fads is that if a student doesn’t learn about such worthwhile topics as the wave equation Gauss’s hypergeometric function the gamma function and the basic problems of the calculus of variations—among others—as an undergraduate then he/she is unlikely to do so later. The natural place for an informal acquaintance with such ideas is a leisurely introductory course on differential equations. Specially designed for just such a course Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes takes great pleasure in the journey into the world of differential equations and their wide range of applications. The author—a highly respected educator—advocates a careful approach using explicit explanation to ensure students fully comprehend the subject matter. With an emphasis on modeling and applications the long-awaited Third Edition of this classic textbook presents a substantial new section on Gauss’s bell curve and improves coverage of Fourier analysis numerical methods and linear algebra. Relating the development of mathematics to human activity—i. e. identifying why and how mathematics is used—the text includes a wealth of unique examples and exercises as well as the author’s distinctive historical notes throughout.

IoT Benefits and Growth Opportunities for the Telecom Industry Key Technology Drivers for Companies

IoT Benefits and Growth Opportunities for the Telecom Industry Key Technology Drivers for Companies

This critical and forward-looking book features: An assessment of the impact of Internet of Things (IoT) on the telecom industry’s revenue streams IoT-based business models in the telecom industry A PESTLE (political economic socio-cultural technological legal and environmental) analysis of the industry in relation to IoT Key technological drivers. It also features a case study of Bell Canada Enterprises (BCE) Inc. which highlights IoT-based business models in the industry. The study reveals that telecom operators have started implementing IoT projects however true revenue streams are yet to materialize. Ten IoT-based business models have been identified at BCE Inc. The book points out that operators do leverage existing infrastructure in terms of broadband fiber and mobile connectivity in part and resort to partnerships and acquisitions to acquire much-needed knowledge technology and smart devices. Concerning the effect of IoT on the telecoms’ revenue streams it was revealed that new entrants who are not necessarily in the telecom industry have impacted the old players’ revenue streams. OTT services like YouTube WhatsApp IPTV Netflix are the biggest culprits. Seven key technological drivers for IoT have been identified and include widespread wireless connectivity the availability and affordability of microcontrollers sensors and actuators the decreasing cost of bandwidth the recent implementation of IPv6 and the ongoing development of 5G network as well as the use of cloud computing and analytics. Finally the PESTLE analysis of the industry shows that the lack of a comprehensive political and regulatory framework still slows down IoT deployment. Interoperability security and privacy concerns are other constraints. Conversely general economic conditions in most developed and developing economies are favorable to the advancement of IoT technology. Governments are willing to subsidize R&D and have partnered with the private sector to speed up the roll-out process. | IoT Benefits and Growth Opportunities for the Telecom Industry Key Technology Drivers for Companies
