The Number Line through Guided Inquiry is designed to give future secondary teachers a deep understanding of the real numbers and functions on the reals. By presenting just that part of the subject that underlies the high school curriculum, this book offers an alternative to a standard real analysis sequence for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students. It will give any student a much deeper understanding of the mathematics that they were taught in high school.Written in a guided-inquiry format, this book consists of a carefully scaffolded sequence of definitions, problems, and theorems that guides students through each topic. Readers solve the problems and prove the theorems on their own and present their results to their peers with the instructor as a mentor and a guide. Students will learn not only the mathematics, but also how to help others learn mathematics. They will learn to think creatively and to make compelling arguments to justify their conclusions. They will learn to listen critically to others and give constructive feedback. Ultimately, they will learn to work as a team to answer the bigger questions and build a common understanding of the broader subject.

The exhibition catalogue Three Hundred Mountains comprises a select one hundred paintings by the Chinese artist Haiying Xu (b. 1975). In her work, Xu, who came to Germany more than two decades ago, continues to explore issues of personal identity at the tense interface between heritage, homeland, and migration. Haiying Xu’s memories of the traditional cultures of southeastern China give rise to a reinterpretation of childhood fascination, imagination, and the experience of nature, though her paintings are also very specifically inspired by the colourful costumes of the Peking opera, classical Chinese literature, and the spatial concepts of shadow theatre. Despite its retrospective character, the main focus of this catalogue is her most recent work, which will be on display in 2024 as part of a solo exhibition at Galerie Andreas Binder in Munich.Text in English and German.

This book highlights the use of one-dimensional transition metal oxides and their analogue nanomaterials for battery applications. The book chiefly focuses on emerging configurable designs, including core-shell architectures, hollow architectures and other intricate architectures.
