This textbook offers a rigorous introduction to the foundations of Riemannian Geometry, with a detailed treatment of homogeneous and symmetric spaces, as well as the foundations of the General Theory of Relativity.Starting with the basics of manifolds, it presents key objects of differential geometry, such as Lie groups, vector bundles, and de Rham cohomology, with full mathematical details. Next, the fundamental concepts of Riemannian geometry are introduced, paving the way for the study of homogeneous and symmetric spaces. As an early application, a version of the Poincaré¿Hopf and Chern¿Gauss¿Bonnet Theorems is derived. The final chapter provides an axiomatic deduction of the fundamental equations of the General Theory of Relativity as another important application. Throughout, the theory is illustrated with color figures to promote intuitive understanding, and over 200 exercises are provided (many with solutions) to help master the material.The book is designed to cover a two-semester graduate course for students in mathematics or theoretical physics and can also be used for advanced undergraduate courses.

About 80 years ago, it was possible for the first time to confirm what modern science had suggested for centuries: Earth shows its sphericity based on a curved horizon. The following age of space flights opened other opportunities. First, our home planet could be observed from low Earth orbits, and then, a while later, even from the distance of the Moon. Interplanetary space flights even shifted our perspective out into the universe. Images sent back from many spacecraft showed how Earth and its Moon are part of the solar system.This book is a journey away from Earth, but always looking back at it. The journey starts with balloon flights reaching the stratosphere, followed by the tedious attempts to reach space. When space flight in low Earth orbits had been achieved, frequent unmanned and manned missions covered that region. Further milestones reached geostationary orbit and the Moon. Interplanetary missions allowed us to become acquainted with large parts of the solar system. They showed us how unique our home planet Earth is. A photo from a distance of 6 billion kilometers, the famous ¿pale blue dot,¿ always reminds us of this fact.The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. The author has subsequently revised the text further in an endeavour to refine the work stylistically.

Inspired by recent developments in dependent type theory and infinity categories, this book presents a history of ideas around the topics of truth, proof, equality and equivalence. Besides selected ideas of Platon, Aristoteles, Leibniz, Kant, Frege and others, the results of Gödel and Tarski on incompleteness, undecidability and truth in deductive systems and their semantic models are covered. The main focus of this textbook is on dependent type theory and its recent variant homotopy type theory. Such theories contain identity types, which give a new understanding of equality, symmetry, equivalence and isomorphism in a conceptual way. The interaction of type theory and infinity category theory yields a new paradigm for a structural view on mathematics. This supports the tendencies towards formalising mathematics with the help of proof assistants.This book was first published in German. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.

Use Python to develop Rasperry Pi projects to solve common digital image processing and IoT problems. Using a free IoT server yoüll tackle fundamental topics and concepts behind theses two areas. This second edition includes new content on Artificial Intelligence and updated sensor guidance to help you better explore virtual animations, create a homemade spectrometer, and master object classification with Edge Impulse.Start by creating a system to detect movement with a PIR motion sensor and a Raspberry Pi board. Use the MQ2 gas sensor and a Raspberry Pi board as a gas leak alarm system to detect dangerous explosive and fire hazards. Then train your system to send the captured data to the remote server ThingSpeak. Yoüll also develop a weather station with your Raspberry Pi. Using the DHT11 (humidity and temperature sensor) and BMP (barometric pressure and temperature sensor) in conjunction with ThingSpeak and X, you can receive real time weather alerts from your own meterological system!Spectral sensers used with the Raspberry Pi include the AS7262 (six colors), and AS7263 (near infrared) for the construction of a filter spectrometer, sensing colored solutions, and assessing plant foliage health. Finally, expand your skills into the popular machine learning world of digital image processing using OpenCV and a Pi. Make your own object classifiers and finally manipulate an object by means of an image in movement. This skillset has many applications, ranging from recognizing people or objects, to creating your own video surveillance system.With the skills gained from Sensor Projects with Raspberry Pi, you'll be well-equipped to explore other applications in mobile development and electrical engineering as well. What You'll Learn Work with ThingSpeak to receive X alerts from your systems. Cultivate skills in processing sensor inputs that are applicable to mobile and machine learning projects. Incorporate sensors into projects to make interactive devices. Experiment with virtual scenarios and objects. Create Python and Pygame games that contain virtual scenarios and animations. Detect colored solutions and assess the plant foliage health.Who This Book Is ForHobbyists and makers working with robotics and IoT. Electronic engineers and programmers who would like to expand their familiarity with basic sensor projects.

This is your guide book to Generative AI (GenAI) and its application in addressing real-world challenges within the public sector. The book addresses a range of topics from GenAI concepts and strategy to public sector use cases, architecture patterns, and implementation best practices. With a general background in technology and the public sector, you will be able to understand the concepts in this book.The book will help you develop a deeper understanding of GenAI and learn how GenAI differs from traditional AI. You will explore best practices such as prompt engineering, and fine-tuning, and architectural patterns such as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). And you will discover specific nuances, considerations, and strategies for implementation in a public sector organization. You will understand how to apply these concepts in a public sector setting and address industry-specific challenges and problems by studying a variety of use cases included in the book in the areas of content generation, chatbots, summarization, and program management. What You Will Learn GenAI concepts and how GenAI differs from traditional AI/ML Prompt engineering, fine-tuning, RAG, and customizing foundation models Strategy, methodologies, and frameworks for the public sector Public sector use cases in the areas of content generation, summarization, and chatbots, plus program management, analytics, business intelligence, and reporting Architecture and design patterns Implementation, operations, and maintenance of GenAI applications Who This Book Is ForTechnology and business leaders in the public sector who are new to AI/ML and are keen on exploring and harnessing the potential of Generative AI in their respective organizations.
