Just when classic subject areas seem understood, the author, a Caltech, M.I.T. and Boeing trained aerodynamicist, raises profound questions over traditional formulations. Can shear flows be rigo
Trade magazines and review articles describe MWD in casual terms, e.g., positive versus negative pulsers, continuous wave systems, drilling channel noise and attenuation, in very simple terms absent o
Mathematical finance is a vast subject and is an ever growing field that no single book can cover everything, nor should it try to do so. Following on from the detailed treatment on stochastic calculu
Resistivity logging represents the cornerstone of modern petroleum exploration, providing a quantitative assessment of hydrocarbon bearing potential in newly discovered oilfields. Resistivity is meas
Real-world reservoirs are layered, heterogeneous and anisotropic, exposed to water and gas drives, faults, barriers and fractures. They are produced by systems of vertical, deviated, horizontal and m
Traditional well logging methods, such as resistivity, acoustic, nuclear and NMR, provide indirect information related to fluid and formation properties. The “formation tester,” of
A guide to stochastic calculus as the basis behind mathematical finance An increasingly popular field of study at universities and an essential skill for investment bank employees, mathematical finan
Wave propagation is central to all areas of petroleum engineering, e.g., drilling vibrations, MWD mud pulse telemetry, swab-surge, geophysical ray tracing, ocean and current interactions, electromagne
Almost all publications on borehole electromagnetics deal with idealizations that are not acceptable physically, and unfortunately, even these models are company proprietary. On the other hand, “exac

Your complete guide to mastering basic and advanced techniques for interest rate derivative modeling and pricingInterest rate trading constitutes the largest sector of the world derivatives market. In
Documents some of the practices, tools, and attitudes that can be used to define, plan, and execute projects in a dynamic and fast-paced environment that creates synergy between process and creative f
An essential reference for practitioners and students of quantitative financeFinancial analysts and investment bankers rely greatly upon the mathematical finance (also known as computational finance) when seeking to establish the value of financial instruments. Nowhere is that more true than in the pricing of commodity and foreign exchange derivatives. While there are many guides to pricing commodity and foreign exchange derivatives, until now there were none whose focus is on making the complex mathematics involved accessible for students and practitioners. This fourth and final volume in the landmark Problems and Solutions in Mathematical Finance series does just that. Its unique problem/solution, step-by-step approach dramatically streamlines the learning process for anyone attempting to get to grips with the mathematical modeling of commodity and foreign exchange derivatives.Builds upon the ideas in the previous three volumes to school you in the essential mathematical concepts and
Raucous twin sisters Moonie and Mei Ling Wong are known as the "double happiness" Chinese food delivery girls. Each day they load up a "crappy donkey-van" and deliver Americanized ("bad") Chinese foo
