The wide application of techniques in new mechanical, electronic and biomedical systems calls for materials and structures with non-conventional properties (i.e. materials with 'memory'). Of equal importance is the understanding of the physical behavior of these materials and consequently developing mathematical modelling techniques for prediction. This self contained text discusses the mathematical modelling used with these types of electromagnetic materials. It provides a carefully structured, coherent and comprehensive treatment of electromagnetism of continuous media. The authors provide...

This book contains the papers presented at the conference on "Mathematical Models and Methods for Smart Materials, " held in Italy in 2001. The papers are divided into four parts: "Methods in Materials Science" deals mainly with mathematical techniques fo the investigation of physical systems, such as liquid crystals, materials with internal variables, amorphous materials, and thermoelastic materials. Also, techniques are exhibited for the analysis of stability and controllability of classical models of continuum mechanics and of dynamical systems. "Modelling of Smart Materials" is devoted to...

The volume consists of invited refereed research papers. The contributions cover a wide spectrum in algebraic geometry, from motives theory to numerical algebraic geometry and are mainly focused on higher dimensional varieties and Minimal Model Program and surfaces of general type.

A part of the articles grew out a Conference in memory of Paolo Francia (1951-2000) held in Genova in September 2001 with about 70 participants.
