It's 986 years into the future, and Earth has colonized 8 additional planets. Each planet created a new society based on their most valued qualities - such as on Observia where people place high importance on logic, structure and science in their everyday lives, or on Authenticum, where people value creativity, originality and beauty over all else. But, the differences in mindset between the planets grew too great, and the inhabited universe is on the verge of all-out war. Nine children - ...

This timely volume takes stock of the discipline of comparative literature and its theory and practice from a Canadian perspective.

In various scientific and industrial fields, stochastic simulations are taking on a new importance. This is due to the increasing power of computers and practitioners’ aim to simulate more and more complex systems, and thus use random parameters as well as random noises to model the parametric uncertainties and the lack of knowledge on the physics of these systems. The error analysis of these computations is a highly complex mathematical undertaking. Approaching these issues, the authors p...
