This book introduces a semi- analytical method, Improved Residual Power Series Method (IRPSM), for solving boundary value problems (BVPs). Unlike traditional numerical and analytical techniques, IRPSM offers quick convergence and minimal computational time, avoiding the pitfalls of round- off errors, linearization, perturbation, and discretization. This innovative approach has been rigorously compared with existing methods, demonstrating superior accuracy and efficiency. The book is meant ...

Combining firsthand accounts from activists with the research of scholars and reflections from artists, Policing the Planet traces the global spread of the broken-windows policing strategy, first established in New York City under Police Commissioner William Bratton.
