• Are you at that point in life where you are beginning to wonder and ask yourself'Why am I here? Am I suppose to be doing what I am doing?• Are you frustrated that you are not making headway in life?• Have you come to a crossroad in your life and tired of going round and round the circle of life?• Do you think you can do more than what you are doing right now?Your answer to some of these questions might be no or yes, but let me tell you; we develop a detachment from who we really are, to who we become over the years of our development, we grow out of our true identity through the everyday stress of life. The Truth About You, goes through the stages of how to identify your roadmap to locating your reason for existence. In this enlightening book, you will find out how other successful people have used these principles and guidelines to navigate their way and how you can use them as a guide to locating your purpose and make a great impact on your generation.

Der heutige Hochschulunterricht für Mathematiker gründet meist auf Abstraktion und führt vom Allgemeinen zum Speziellen. Die Methode hat Vorteile, sie stärkt das Denkvermögen und meidet lästige Wiederholungen. Doch sie "stellt den Pflug vor die Ochsen", weil Abstraktion auf Spezialfälle baut, die dem Lernenden oft fremd sind. So bleibt der Erfolg den Glücklichen vorbehalten, die den Weg von der Abstraktion zu den Beispielen finden. Dieses Lehrbuch führt von zwei Spezialfällen zur Allgemeinheit und gründet nicht auf Abstraktion. Die Beweise der abstrakten Algebra werden zuerst am konkreten Beispiel der Matrizen vorgeführt. Zur Schärfung der Anschauung wird dann die Begriffswelt der Elementargeometrie durchleuchtet. Die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Lehrstoff der Schule dient der Vorbereitung auf die geometrisch gefärbte Sprache der linearen Algebra, die am Ende des Buches erläutert wird. Dem Text sind Anwendungsbeispiele und zahlreiche historische Kommentare beigefügt.

RFID is a key technology for Europe. Today there is a noticeable shift away from the days of RFID pilot projects, and towards a time where organisations are looking to RFID to drive efficiency and innovation. Although Europe is a leading player in the world of RFID technology, several challenges which are preventing RFID from reaching its full potential need to be addressed.

To further the advancement of this technology, coordinated European efforts need to be promoted, specifically in the areas of standardisation, user guidelines, legislation, technology development, and research and development. These themes have been analysed, and clear recommendations have been derived, stating what the different RFID stakeholders can do to support the technology. This book is aimed at decision makers in all fields of society, e.g. in companies, politics, business associations, etc.

The publication is a summary of the results of the coordination action CE RFID - "Coordinating European Efforts in the RFID Value Chain" - and is a network of European RFID technology providers, vendors and end users. It aims at promoting the use of RFID technology and supporting further development. The project was funded by the European Commission under the 6th Framework Programme.
