Interdisciplinary Practices in Higher Education
(2024)Drawing on eight crowdsourced cases, Interdisciplinary Practices in Higher Education demonstrates the range and diversity in approaches to teaching, learning and collaborating across disciplinary and institutional borders. The cases explore everyday challenges within interdisciplinary higher education experiences such as designing study programmes, planning curricula, ensuring sufficient assessment and feedback for diverse groups of ...Monograph -
Artificial Intelligence for Scientific Discoveries
(2023)Will research soon be done by artificial intelligence, thereby making human researchers superfluous? This book explains modern approaches to discovering physical concepts with machine learning and elucidates their strengths and limitations. The automation of the creation of experimental setups and physical models, as well as model testing are discussed. The focus of the book is the automation of an important step of the model creation, ...Monograph -
Wozu?
(2024)Von der Geburt bis zum Tod: Was weiß die Philosophie über die Stationen unseres Lebens? Was bedeutet es, auf die Welt zu kommen? Wir treffen Unterscheidungen und Bewertungen, noch bevor wir Begriffe bilden, sprechen und urteilen. Wir verlieben uns und begreifen, dass das Leben endlich ist. All das kann man philosophisch untersuchen: Entsteht da ein Subjekt? Warum braucht es einen „Sinn"? Wozu das alles? Kann man ein Leben mit all seinen ...Monograph -
Instability and non-uniqueness for the 2D Euler equations, after M. Vishik
(2024)Annals of Mathematics StudiesThe incompressible Euler equations are a system of partial differential equations introduced by Leonhard Euler more than 250 years ago to describe the motion of an inviscid incompressible fluid. These equations can be derived from the classical conservations laws of mass and momentum under some very idealized assumptions. While they look simple compared to many other equations of mathematical physics, several fundamental mathematical ...Monograph -

Subversion: From Covert Operations to Cyber Conflict
(2024)In theory, subversion is the perfect weapon, yet in practice it often falters—and the same applies to cyber operations. This book explains why. Lennart Maschmeyer argues that subversion holds great promise as a cheap, easy, and yet effective alternative to war because of its distinct mechanism of action: secretly exploiting and manipulating adversary systems to undermine them and turn them against the adversary. In practice, however, ...Monograph -

It not only showcases their vulnerability but also unveils their ...Monograph -
Classical and Quantum Parametric Phenomena
(2023)This book provides an overview of the phenomena arising when parametric pumping is applied to oscillators. These phenomena include parametric amplification, noise squeezing, spontaneous symmetry breaking, activated switching, cat states, and synthetic Ising spin lattices. To understand these effects, we introduce topics such as nonlinear and stochastic dynamics, coupled systems, and quantum mechanics. Throughout the book, we keep these ...Monograph -
Giedion and America
(2024)Sigfried Giedion (1888–1968), one of the main protagonists of the architectural avant-garde in Europe, paradoxically achieved this reputation in America, far from his homeland. Nearly all of Giedion’s books written after his initial stay at Harvard University were published in English long before they became available in his native German. Reto Geiser sheds new light on Giedion’s life and reassesses his work through the lens of cultural ...Monograph -

The Autonomy of Theory
(2024)gta editionFollowing the exhibition “Tendenzen—Neuere Architektur im Tessin” in Zurich in 1975, contemporaneous architecture in Ticino became the subject of fervent coverage in Swiss and international publications. This extended essay argues that the critical attention emancipated the narratives of Ticino architecture from the actual conditions of production, leading to the paradoxical divergence of its historiography from its history. Placing ...Monograph -

Wikipédia, ou Imaginez un monde
(2024)Rue d'Ulm/EssaiL’encyclopédie libre Wikipédia a révolutionné à bas bruit l’accès à l’information pour des milliards d’individus sur la planète. Mais qui sait comment elle fonctionne? Eui édite le site? Et selon quels principes? Quand – et pourquoi – peut-on avoir confiance dans les informations qu’il fournit? Au-delà, de quoi l’encyclopédie que «tout le monde peut éditer» est-elle réellement le nom? Car Wikipédia ne représente qu’une déclinaison ...Monograph -
