Delores Etter uses real-world engineering and scientific examples and problems throughout the text. Solutions to the problems are developed using the language C and the author's signature five-step pr

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

This is a companion textbook for an introductory course in physics. It aims to link the theories and models that students learn in class with practical problem-solving techniques. In other words, it s

Applied Meteorology on the Grid presents state-of-the-art applications and their implementations on the grid infrastructure platform. These include various prediction models and simulations in meteoro

An accessible guide to the main reasons pumps fail—and what can be done about itWorkhorses in many different industries, including the oil industry, water industry, chemical industry, food industry, and pharmaceutical industry to name a few, pumps are a vital contributor to maintaining and increasing the flow of production. In fact, the pump industry itself is a multi-billion dollar global business. Taking the unique approach of addressing both pump operators and pump designers, Pump Wisdom explains the causes of failure in centrifugal pump function—whether it's pump selection, overlooked installation criteria, or the accumulation of small deviations—and maps out remedies with well defined methods that target specific issues, rather than focusing on technical generalities and theory. Clearly written and concise, Pump Wisdom relies on proven tactics for reducing pump vulnerabilities and correcting imbalances between hydraulic assembly and mechanical assembly. In addition, it supplies so

This book describes the use of problem-based learning (PBL) in management education. The authors draw upon their experience in using PBL in a broad array of management education programs at the Bachel

This book is a collection of essays centred around the subject of mathematical mechanization. It tries to deal with mathematics in a constructive and algorithmic manner so that reasoning becomes me
