Steadily growing applications of game theory in modern science (including psychology, biology and economics) require sources to provide rapid access in both classical tools and recent developments to
Integrating the basic elements of accounting and finance, Bierman (business administration, Cornell U.) presents a text introducing readers to the real-world constraints and complexities of the two fi
Supersymmetry is a symmetry which combines bosons and fermions in the same multiplet of a larger group which unites the transformations of this symmetry with that of spacetime. Thus every bosonic part

The first edition was published in 1986 and the second in 1997, and physicist Muta (president, Fukuyama U.) says for this third he has mostly corrected errors that slipped through to the second. Quant
This textbook covers the mathematical foundations of the analysis of algorithms. The gist of the book is how to argue, without the burden of excessive formalism, that a given algorithm does what it is
This book provides comprehensive scientific information and knowledge survival tips on how to survive a tsunami. It is especially useful to those living (or about to live) in tsunami-prone areas, and
Strocchi (Scuola Normale Superiore, Italy) delivered the lecture series from 1993 to 1996 as a half-semester course for undergraduate mathematics students. Classical mechanics tend to be part of a sta
Metrics, Norms and Integrals is a textbook on contemporary analysis based on the author’s lectures given at the University of Melbourne for over two decades. It covers three main topics: metric and to

Adams (University of Queensland, Australia) introduces university level mathematics, covering both algebra and calculus, in this text for first- and second-year students. Because it treats the materia
In the first of two essays on the role of time in probability and quantum physics, Chung (Stanford University) explains why probability theory starts where random time appears and illustrates this ide
This book is the culmination of twenty-five years of teaching Geometrical Optics. The volume is organised such that the single spherical refracting surface is the basic optical element. Spherical mirr
O'Donnell (Anglia Polytechnic University, UK) introduces 2-spinor formalism in general relativity in this text for those at the graduate and research levels. The text begins by developing spinors in a

Dr. Preparata (d. 2000), a professor at an unspecified Italian university, was among the minority of theoretical physicists challenging the standard model of quantum field theory with a "more realisti
Written as a text for a one-semester upper division or two-semester lower division course for students studying economics and business, this text can also be used in courses offered by mathematics and
Designed for undergraduate and graduate level computer science students, this text begins with basic concepts in pattern recognition and uses detailed algorithms and real world applications to explain
Wong (mathematics and statistics, York U., Canada) updates his 1991 textbook for a standard graduate course in partial differential equations for students who have completed a course in real variables
