The book highlights the significant yet often overlooked contributions of female scientists and mathematicians throughout history, from Hypatia of Alexandria to contemporary figures like Lisa Randall. It explores how these women shaped scientific thought and made groundbreaking advancements, despite frequently remaining in the shadows of their male counterparts. Through essay-like introductions, the author, Lars Jaeger, illustrates their lives and achievements, emphasizing the ongoing imbalance in visibility and recognition within the scientific community.

The book provides a comprehensive guide to calculating risk-adjusted present values, focusing on discounting future cash flows while accounting for default risks. It introduces the Risk Adjusted Single Payment Present Worth (RASPPW) Factors, developed from the author's expertise, offering a straightforward method for valuation. Covering scenarios with varying interest rates and default probabilities over periods of up to 40 years, this handbook serves as a valuable resource for both study and practical applications in finance.

Climate change has transformed from a distant concern to a pressing reality, manifesting through floods, species extinction, migration, droughts, and super tornadoes. The book emphasizes the urgency of addressing these escalating environmental crises, highlighting the critical challenge of mitigating the impacts of climate change that affect our daily lives.

This handbook offers a straightforward approach to calculating the future value of single payments using compound interest factors. It includes comprehensive tables for both negative and positive interest rates over a period of up to 40 years. Users can easily determine future values by multiplying their cash flows with the corresponding factors, making it a practical resource for financial calculations.

The book explores the transformative impact of recent scientific and technological advancements, particularly in areas like Artificial Intelligence, neuro-technologies, and nanotechnology. It addresses both the remarkable benefits these developments have brought to human life and the significant risks they pose, including existential threats. Authored by two theoretical physicists with expertise in economics, it presents complex ideas in an accessible manner, while also discussing the philosophical implications and suggesting pathways for more harmonious scientific progress in the future.

The Handbook of Uniform Series Sinking Fund (USSF) Factors provides an easy method to calculate the annuity of a future value. For negative and positive interest rates and periods up to 40 years this handbook contains the discounting factors. You have just to multiply the future cash flow with the relevant factor to find the annuity (payment in arrears).

The Handbook of Single Payment Compound Amount (SPCA) Factors provides an easy method to calculate the future value of single payments. For negative and positive interest rates and a period up to 40 years this handbook contains the compounding interest factors. You have just to multiply your cash flow with the relevant factor to find the future value.

This book tells the story of the second quantum revolution which will shape the 21st century as much as the first quantum revolution shaped the 20th century. It provides unique orientation in today's discussion and the latest progress on the interpretation of quantum physics and its further technological potential. As you read this book the first prototypes of this revolution are being built in laboratories worldwide. Super-technologies such as nanotechnology, quantum computers, quantum information processing, and others will soon shape our daily lives, even if physicists themselves continue to disagree on how to interpret the central theory of modern physics. The book will thus also touch on the profound philosophical questions at the heart of quantum mechanics.

The Handbook of Uniform Series Compound Amount (USCA) Factors provides an easy method to calculate the future value of an annuity. For negative and positive interest rates and periods up to 40 years this handbook contains the compounding factors. You have just to multiply the annual cash flow (payment arrear) with the relevant factor to find the future value.

"The Handbook of Single Payment Present Worth (SPPW) Factors" provides an easy method to calculate the present value of single payments. For negative and positive interest rates and a period up to 40 years this handbook contains the discounting factors. You have just to multiply your cash flow with the relevant factor to find the present value.
