Description

The master's degree demonstrates the diversity and complexity of graduate education in the twenty-first century. This study tracks its development and multiple trajectories in the context of a culture of professionalization and credentialism that now permeates every level of American society. Analyses of master's degrees in fourteen academic and professional disciplines and three interdisciplinary fields illustrate the changing landscape of graduate education. In building on her previous study of master's education, The Master's Degree: Tradition, Diversity, and Innovation (1986), the author identified initiatives that support continued innovation in master's education and that will continue to propel its pivotal role in the marketplace. She concludes her study with recommendations for extending the discourse on graduate and professional education, reframing questions about its principles and purposes, and addressing the consequences of transformation. This book will appeal to educators, employers, and policymakers who are concerned about the future of higher education in competitive, globalized environments. This is the fourth issue the 31st volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph in the series is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education problem, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.

More and more often, people are using the Net to attend college classes and obtain undergraduate and graduate degrees. Atieh's guide covers the "distance learning" trend in higher education in a practical way, focusing on finding the right online program and getting through the admissions process. If you can't attend a traditional classroom program or want to attend a program that's thousands of miles away without leaving home, this book can help you decide if getting your degree online is right for you. The book is divided into two parts. In part 1, Atieh explains what distance learning is and what equipment and skills it requires. Then he describes how to choose a school, how to apply, how to finance your degree, and even how to find a job after graduation using online resources. Atieh makes it clear that while online education is more convenient for many people, it's not less expensive than regular classes or easier than attending college in person. Throughout this section, he sprinkles short case histories of people who are considering online education. Part 2 banishes all ideas of correspondence school from your mind. The book lists more than 70 university programs at schools such as Harvard, the University of California at Los Angeles, Duke, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which immediately makes you feel better about the prospect of attending college online. Listings include details such as accreditation status, the number of students enrolled in online classes, costs, Web site locations, e-mail address, residency requirements, and much more. --Elizabeth Lewis

Description

This textbook treats the classical parts of mapping degree theory, with a detailed account of its history traced back to the first half of the 18th century. After a historical first chapter, the remaining four chapters develop the mathematics. An effort is made to use only elementary methods, resulting in a self-contained presentation. Even so, the book arrives at some truly outstanding theorems: the classification of homotopy classes for spheres and the Poincare-Hopf Index Theorem, as well as the proofs of the original formulations by Cauchy, Poincare, and others. Although the mapping degree theory you will discover in this book is a classical subject, the treatment is refreshing for its simple and direct style. The straightforward exposition is accented by the appearance of several uncommon topics: tubular neighborhoods without metrics, differences between class 1 and class 2 mappings, Jordan Separation with neither compactness nor cohomology, explicit constructions of homotopy classes of spheres, and the direct computation of the Hopf invariant of the first Hopf fibration. The book is suitable for a one-semester graduate course. There are 180 exercises and problems of different scope and difficulty.
