The author taught two courses on cryptography, one at Duke University aimed at non-mathematics majors and one at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology aimed at mathematics and computer science majors. Both tried to incorporate technical and…
The paper that introduced shape analysis sentences presented a method for extracting a sentence in first-order logic that completely characterizes a run of CPSA. Logical deduction can then be used to determine if a security goal is…
Satellite-based Communication systems are gaining renewed momentum in Industry and Academia, thanks to innovative services introduced by leading tech companies and the promising impact they can deliver towards the global connectivity…
This is a preliminary version of the textbook on integrable systems. The work has been partly supported by Grant Nr.10/2006-RU, Austrian Academic Exchange Service \"OAD and Grant P20164-N18, Austrian Science Fund FWF
This introduction begins with a section on fundamental notions of mathematical logic, including propositional logic, predicate or first-order logic, completeness, compactness, the L\"owenheim-Skolem theorem, Craig interpolation, Beth's…
Quantitative methods and mathematical modeling are playing an increasingly important role across disciplines. As a result, interdisciplinary mathematics courses are increasing in popularity. However, teaching such courses at an advanced…
Computational thinking is a key skill for space science graduates, who must apply advanced problem-solving skills to model complex systems, analyse big data sets, and develop control software for mission-critical space systems. We describe…
Heliophysics is the system science of the physical connections between the Sun and the solar system. As the physics of the local cosmos, it embraces space weather and planetary habitability. The wider view of comparative heliophysics forms…
Since 1988, the United Nations, through the Programme on Space Applications, is supporting the establishment and operation of regional Centres for Space Science and Technology Education in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the…
Technology has advanced dramatically in the previous several years. There are also cyber assaults. Cyberattacks pose a possible danger to information security and the general public. Since data practice and internet consumption rates…
The present informal set of notes covers the material that has been presented by the author in a series of lectures for the Doctoral School in Mathematics of the Southern Federal State University of Rostov-on-Don in the Fall of 2020 and…
The aim of this text is to provide a linguistically accessible, but comprehensive introduction into a variety of topics in dynamical systems and its applications. Whilst preliminary knowledge of dynamical systems is useful, it is not…
We briefly review the well-known risks, weaknesses and limitations of spreadsheets and then introduce some more. We review and slightly extend our previous work on the importance and criticality of spreadsheets in the City of London,…
This text is a slightly edited version of lecture notes for a course I gave at ETH, during the Winter term 2000-2001, to undergraduate Mathematics and Physics students. Contents: Chapter 1 - Examples of Dynamical Systems Chapter 2 -…
This article analyzes trust and security in computing and communications systems. While in human-life, trust usually has some kind of commonly understood meaning, in the realm of computing and communications systems, it could be interpreted…
Modern systems are increasingly connected and more integrated with other existing systems, giving rise to \textit{systems-of-systems} (SoS). An SoS consists of a set of independent, heterogeneous systems that interact to provide new…
Brief lecture notes for a course about random matrices given at the University of Cambridge.
We discuss a two-week summer course on Network Science that we taught for high school pupils. We present the concepts and contents of the course, evaluate them, and make the course material available.
This is an expanded and revised text for a fifteen minute talk given at the University of Queensland Physics Camp, September 2000. The focus is on the goals and motivations for studying quantum information theory, rather than on technical…
Ethnography has become one of the established methods for empirical research on software engineering. Although there is a wide variety of introductory books available, there has been no material targeting software engineering students…
