First published in 1968, An Introduction to Harmonic Analysis has firmly established itself as a classic text and a favorite for students and experts alike. Professor Katznelson starts the book with an exposition of classical Fourier series. The aim is to demonstrate the central ideas of harmonic analysis in a concrete setting, and to provide a stock of examples to foster a clear understanding of the theory. Once these ideas are established, the author goes on to show that the scope of harmonic analysis extends far beyond the setting of the circle group, and he opens the door to other contexts by considering Fourier transforms on the real line as well as a brief look at Fourier analysis on locally compact abelian groups. This new edition has been revised by the author, to include several new sections and a new appendix.

Nielsen and Slatkin (both U. of California-Berkeley) present a textbook they developed in and for a one-semester undergraduate course in population genetics. Students should have some basic knowledge of biology and genetics, they say, and not be afraid of quantitative thinking. Assuming only basic algebra, they introduce some ideas from probability and statistics that are an integral part of modern population genetics. The topics include genetic drift and mutation, population subdivision, selection, the neutral theory and tests of neutrality, and quantitative genetics.

"Introduction to Particle Therapy: An Educational Handbook" provides a clear and accessible overview of modern particle radiation therapy. Aimed at students, physicists and researchers in particle beam therapy, it explains the fundamental physics of proton and heavy-ion beams and how their distinctive depth-dose profiles enable highly targeted cancer treatment with minimal damage to healthy tissue.It explores the latest, cutting-edge research in accelerator technology, beam-delivery systems, treatment-planning methods, radiobiology, and dosimetry and safety. The book also examines the engineering design of particle therapy machines, outlining key components, system architectures and performance considerations. Chapters on particle radiation biology, image-guidance technologies and inverse optimization methods illustrate the principles required for precise and adaptive treatment delivery. Emerging developments, such as ultra-high-dose-rate (FLASH) therapy, next-generation planning strat
