Differential Forms

"Guillemin and Haine’s goal is to construct a well-documented road map that extends undergraduate understanding of multivariable calculus into the theory of differential forms. Throughout, the authors emphasize connections between differential forms and topology while making connections to single and multivariable calculus via the change of variables formula, vector space duals, physics; classical mechanisms, div, curl, grad, Brouwer’s fixed-point theorem, divergence theorem, and Stokes’s theorem … The exercises support, apply and justify the developing road map."CHOICEThere already exist a number of excellent graduate textbooks on the theory of differential forms as well as a handful of very good undergraduate textbooks on multivariable calculus in which this subject is briefly touched upon but not elaborated on enough.The goal of this textbook is to be readable and usable for undergraduates. It is entirely devoted to the subject of differential forms and explores a lot of its important ramifications.In particular, our book provides a detailed and lucid account of a fundamental result in the theory of differential forms which is, as a rule, not touched upon in undergraduate texts: the isomorphism between the Čech cohomology groups of a differential manifold and its de Rham cohomology groups.

Advanced Strategies for Financial Services Compliance

The compliance function is vital to any financial services firm, protecting it from potentially severe legal, financial, and reputational risk. However, the regulatory environment is complex, and the correct course of action is not always clear. Human factors and ethical dilemmas further complicate matters, meaning that in practice, beyond ticking the boxes of basic regulatory compliance, officers must exercise discretion and judgement, taking a risk-based approach when making compliance decisions in more advanced areas. Advanced Strategies for Financial Services Compliance outlines the more advanced issues compliance officers are likely to face, including conflicts of interest, Chinese walls and above the wall conditions, conduct risk, market manipulation, bribery and corruption, and advanced anti-money laundering. The book then goes on to offer guidance on techniques and approaches for managing the compliance function and its relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including inherent quality of controls, handling relations with regulators, dealing with difficult people, reporting, and training. Throughout the book, points are illustrated with case studies from the author’s extensive experience.
