How can Confucianism lead to business and personal success? Follow the extraordinary career of Steve Tsai, whose unshakable commitment to truth, family and nation helped him overcome poverty and deprivation, led him through two terrible wars, and positioned him to play a decisive role in Taiwan’s development as a modern nation-state. In these pages, he looks back on a life full of important lessons for those who seek success and fulfillment, offering hard-earned wisdom and experience, and a heart-felt optimism for life and humanity. Steve Tsai shares the secrets of his success: family, faith, learning and friends. These constant companions transformed him from a shoeless itinerant student into a driving force of Taiwan’s modernization and ultimately leading figure of the American hotel industry. 1. Modern Confucian Entrepreneur also offers invaluable wisdom for how Confucian values, properly understood and applied, can bring success in organizational management, leadership, investment

The stability of stochastic differential equations in abstract, mainly Hilbert, spaces receives a unified treatment in this self-contained book. It covers basic theory as well as computational techniques for handling the stochastic stability of systems from mathematical, physical and biological problems. Its core material is divided into three parts devoted respectively to the stochastic stability of linear systems, non-linear systems, and time-delay systems. The focus is on stability of stochastic dynamical processes affected by white noise, which are described by partial differential equations such as the Navier–Stokes equations. A range of mathematicians and scientists, including those involved in numerical computation, will find this book useful. It is also ideal for engineers working on stochastic systems and their control, and researchers in mathematical physics or biology.
