In this undergraduate textbook, Harold Edwards proposes a radically new and thoroughly algorithmic approach to linear algebra. Originally inspired by the constructive philosophy of mathematics champio
This book presents both the fundamentals and the major research topics in statistical physics of systems out of equilibrium. It summarizes different approaches to describe such systems on the thermody
For bioengineering, physiology, and applied mathematics students and academics, Pullan et al. (U. of Auckland, New Zealand) explore the continuum-based modeling of cardiac electrical activity from the
Considering mainly ordinary differential equations, Zhang (Ritsumeikan Asian Pacific U., Japan) blends the theory of differential equations with its applications to economics, for readers with a basic
Bhattacharya (London School of Economics, UK) and Constantinides (University of Chicago) collect influential papers published from 1973 to 1986 in the field of theoretical financial economics, along w
To address many of the leading issues associated with hedge funds, Fong, an editor of the Journal of Investment Management, presents this compendium of nine papers previously published in JOIM. The fi
Koederitz (U. of Missouri-Rolla) began teaching undergraduate students of petroleum engineering in 1975, and has updated his notes each year to keep up with simulation concepts and philosophy. He does
Amit (physics, University of Rome, Italy) and Martin-Mayor (physical sciences, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain) link methods and concepts in critical phenomena and statistical mechanics with
This textbook offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the basic ideas in modern quantum optics, beginning with a review of the whole of optics, and culminating in the quantum description of
This book covers all principal aspects of currently investigated frustrated systems, from exactly solved frustrated models to real experimental frustrated systems, going through renormalization group
In order to bridge the communications gap between mathematical modelers and experimental oncologists, Wodarz and Komarova (both U. of California-Irvine) introduce mathematical modeling in cancer resea
Interdisciplinary knowledge is becoming increasingly important to the modern scientist. This invaluable textbook covers bioanalytical chemistry (mainly the analysis of proteins and DNA) and explains e
Like its 1995 predecessor, the conference was intended to analyze the interaction between Europe and East Asia between the 16th and 18th centuries in the field of mathematical science, highlighting th
Gamma ray astronomy, the branch of high energy astrophysics that studies the sky in energetic Ygamma‥-ray photons, is destined to play a crucial role in the exploration of nonthermal phenomena in the
This volume written by experts on different aspects of nitride technology, addresses the entire spectrum of issues related to nitride materials and devices, and it will be useful for technologists, sc
In this text for graduate or advanced undergraduate students, Sutherland (physics, U. of Utah) describes a discipline (considered too mathematical for physics but too imbued with physics to be mathema
This book presents a historical development of the integration theories of Riemann, Lebesgue, Henstock-Kurzweil, and McShane, showing how new theories of integration were developed to solve problems t
What actually is creativity? And what contributes to its conceptualization and development? This collection of articles is an attempt at exploring and answering the above questions from both the Easte
The latest edition of a work in print since 1973 adds a chapter on the molecular basis of thermodynamics. The venerable text is intended to give chemistry undergraduates a basic familiarity with the c
This book presents a theoretical treatment, as well as a summary of practical methods of computation, of the forces and moments that act on marine craft. Its aim is to provide the tools necessary for
The Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the National University of Singapore hosted a research program on "Representation Theory of Lie Groups" from July 2002 to January 2003. As part of the progra
While computers spat out reports that the US was winning the war in Vietnam, soldiers on the front lines had an entirely different impression. The results of that situation led to a quick about-face,
Archer, president of the UK Solar Energy Society and the National Energy Foundation, and Barber (biochemistry, Imperial College) collect material on the mechanisms of photosynthesis and the potential
Mohapatra (University of Maryland) and Pal (Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, India) introduce issues related to the theory and phenomenology of massive neutrinos and provide a survey of the latest r
Haug (astronomy and astrophysics) and Nakel (physics, both U. of Tubingen, Germany) represent the theoretical and experimental developments in the process, which strives to describe the coupling of th
Li (biomedical engineering, Rutgers U.) begins the series he will edit with a study that can serve as a companion to his The Arterial Circulation: Physical Principles and Clinical Applications. He use
Recent discoveries of new materials and improvements in calorimetric techniques have given new impetus to the subject of specific heat. Nevertheless, there is a serious lack of literature on the subje
If the title isn't sufficiently ominous to make the intended audience clear, then perhaps an explicit statement is needed: this book is not for laymen. It's also not for chemists, biologists, computer
About 8000 clinical trials are undertaken annually in all areas of medicine, from the treatment of acne to the prevention of cancer. Correct interpretation of the data from such trials depends largel
Eleven international contributions present the results of recent experimental searches for the QCD transition to the high temperature and density regime, which generally is denoted as the quark gluon
This book reviews some of the classic aspects in the theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena, which has a long history. Recently, these aspects are attracting much attention due to essentia
This scientific biography of Douglas R. Hartree not only describes important events in his life but also outlines his contributions to a number of fields. He is best known for his "self-consistent fie
The main goal of this book is to prove analytically and validate experimentally that synchronization in multi-composed mechanical systems can be achieved in the case of partial knowledge of the state
