This textbook systematically presents fundamental methods of statistical analysis, from probability and statistical distributions, through basic concepts of statistical inference, to a collection of m
A textbook for an applied mathematics course explaining the techniques of distribution theory, discussing intuitively the ideas that underlie the techniques, and offering a selection of problems apply
Protein bioseparation refers to the recovery, isolation, purification, and polishing of protein products. In this text, Ghosh (McMaster U.) considers how ultrafiltration could be used for bioseparatio
In the first of two projected volumes on the history of operational research (OR) in Britain, the discipline's country of origin, Kirby (Lancaster U., UK) traces its antecedents and their parallels wi
Porubov (A. F. Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute, Russia) introduces readers in mechanics, mechanical engineering, and applied mathematics to the concept of long nonlinear strain waves in one-dimensio
This textbook, pitched at the advanced-undergraduate to beginning-graduate level, focuses on mathematical topics of relevance in contemporary physics that are not usually covered in texts at the same
Energy of knots is a theory that was introduced to create a "canonical configuration" of a knot - a beautiful knot which represents its knot type. This book introduces several kinds of energies, and s
In this book, Dr. Mak views the financial market from a scientific perspective. The book attempts to provide a realistic description of what the market is, and how future research should be developed.
Completely positive matrices (not to be confused with the completely positive maps in operator theory) arise from the related concept of completely positive quadratic forms in the theory of block desi
Now that a decade of theoretical work has shed light on the theory and phenomenology of transverse-spin effects in high-energy hadronic physics, and a number of experiments are scheduled to run worldw
This book consists of problems in relativistic quantum mechanics, ranging in difficulty from very simple to research-level, together with their solutions. Most of the problems have been tested in clas
These lecture notes develop modern quantum field theory methods for the analysis of radiative states in a nonlinear quantum optical system having applications in electronics. Intended for graduate stu
This book consists of problems in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics together with their solutions. Most of the problems have been tested in class. The degree of difficulty varies from very simple to r
The growing importance of nonlinear circuits in electronic and mechatronic equipment has led to an increased interest in the ubiquitous presence of chaos in nonlinear circuits. These 29 articles surve
Moskowitz (mathematics, City University of New York Graduate Center) explains fundamentals of basic complex analysis and relates them to real analysis. Coverage progresses from integration along a con
This is a new edition of a reference that brings together material from the areas of proportion in architecture and design, tilings and patterns, polyhedra, and symmetry in order to demonstrate that t
Edward A. Bouchet was the first African-American to receive the doctorate in any field of knowledge in the United States and that area was physics. He was granted the degree in 1876 from Yale Universi
This book provides comprehensive coverage of methods for the empirical evaluation of computer vision techniques. The practical use of computer vision requires empirical evaluation to ensure that the o
This book covers the basics of the hydrodynamics and vibration of structures subjected to environmental loads. It describes the interaction of hydrodynamics with the associated vibration of structures
This book presents basic work on nonhomogeneous matrix products, beginning with basic functionals used to study convergence of infinite products of matrices, then covering semigroups of matrices, ergo
This three-volume set analyzes the intricate logical process through which the quantum theory was developed, and elucidates by what logic the field is governed. It is based on Taketani's three stage t
The Casimir effect is a quantum force of attraction between two parallel uncharged conducting plates. More generally, it refers to the interaction (either attraction or repulsion) between material bod
A comparative study of the economies of the three economies most often compared to Hong Kong, conducted by four Hong Kong economists with an eye towards offering lessons for the island economy. Beginn
For non-specialist students, specialists in scientific disciplines other than biochemistry or genetics, and general readers with some background in scientific thinking, Trainor (U. of Toronto) explain
Los (U. of Adelaide, Australia) evaluates the epistemic risks associated with valuations of different financial instruments and relates them to risk management strategies. Arguing that in most areas o
As an example of general methodology, the evolution of the theory of equations from the Babylonian solution of a quadratic equation to its completion by Galois in 1830 is the focus of these lectures g
Addressed to senior undergraduate/graduate students in math, engineering, computer science, physics, and other areas studying discrete transforms, this text takes a more practical than abstract approa
Notes based on a series of lectures delivered at the Nankai Institute of Mathematics (Tianjin, China) in fall 1998 on various aspects of Hilbert's Third Problem, in particular its relation to homologi
