Book Description
This book departs from typical cartography textbooks, which tend to focus on the characteristics of the methods and means of expression. Instead, it offers an explanation of the individual perspective on the map as a specific product of civilization, one that constitutes a component of social communication. The layout highlights the essential property of cartographic notation, namely: the way of forming the map’s content elements, adjusted to its purpose. This property is ensured thanks to the dimension of reference units in relation to the observation scale of the objects, and by topological consistency between the reference units system and real layout of the objects. An exploration of the characteristics of various ways of depicting a map’s content elements, organized in the reference units dimension, is preceded by a general section accentuating the position of cartography among other sciences, as well as the definition and general properties of a map. The book’s closing chapter includes a separate textbook overview of the applications of taxonomic methods in cartography.

Smooth Functions and Maps
Author: Boris M. Makarov
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030794385
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The book contains a consistent and sufficiently comprehensive theory of smooth functions and maps insofar as it is connected with differential calculus. The scope of notions includes, among others, Lagrange inequality, Taylor’s formula, finding absolute and relative extrema, theorems on smoothness of the inverse map and on conditions of local invertibility, implicit function theorem, dependence and independence of functions, classification of smooth functions up to diffeomorphism. The concluding chapter deals with a more specific issue of critical values of smooth mappings. In several chapters, a relatively new technical approach is used that allows the authors to clarify and simplify some of the technically difficult proofs while maintaining full integrity. Besides, the book includes complete proofs of some important results which until now have only been published in scholarly literature or scientific journals (remainder estimates of Taylor’s formula in a nonconvex area (Chapter I, §8), Whitney's extension theorem for smooth function (Chapter I, §11) and some of its corollaries, global diffeomorphism theorem (Chapter II, §5), results on sets of critical values of smooth mappings and the related Whitney example (Chapter IV). The text features multiple examples illustrating the results obtained and demonstrating their accuracy. Moreover, the book contains over 150 problems and 19 illustrations. Perusal of the book equips the reader to further explore any literature basing upon multivariable calculus.
