This book is an effective, concise text for students and researchers that combines the tools of dynamic programming with numerical techniques and simulation-based econometric methods. Doing so, it br
Insights from the history of numerical notation suggest that how humans write numbers is an active choice involving cognitive and social factors.Over the past 5,000 years, more than 100 methods of num
Control and communications engineers, physicists, and probability theorists, among others, will find this book unique. It contains a detailed development of approximation and limit theorems and method
There are many excellent computational biology resources now available for learning about methods that have been developed to address specific biological systems, but comparatively little attention h
Economic models of empirical phenomena are developed for a variety of reasons, themost obvious of which is the numerical characterization of available evidence, in a suitablyparsimonious form. Another
This book presents a variety of computational methods used to solve dynamic problems in economics and finance. It emphasizes practical numerical methods rather than mathematical proofs and focuses on
A theoretical physicist at Cambridge, Douglas Hartree is best known for his work in numerical methods and the machines that could be used to calculate them with increasing speed and sophistication. Th
