This book follows the “adjoint method” of sensitivity analysis conceived by the author as the most efficient method for computing exactly first-order sensitivities. It will be of interest to postgradu
Operations Research: A Practical Introduction is just that: a hands-on approach to the field of operations research (OR) and a useful guide for using OR techniques in scientific decision making, desig
Taking a practical approach to the subject, Advanced Engineering Mathematics with MATLAB®, Fourth Edition, continues to integrate technology into the conventional topics of engineering mathematics. Th
The author has achieved the breakthrough of generalizing the First-Order Theory presented in his previous books, to the efficient computations of arbitrarily high-order sensitivities for nonlinear sys
Quadratic programming is a mathematical technique that allows for the optimization of a quadratic function in several variables. QP is a subset of Operations Research and is the next higher lever of s
This book is for a two-semester Introduction to Financial Mathematics course for undergraduates. It focuses on preparing students for the actuarial exam, motivates through a discussion of personal fin
This book on parameter estimation addresses problems arising for comprehensive models of complex systems in various areas of application under data constraints. Paramater estimation is a branch of sta
The Mellin transformation is widely used in various problems of pure and applied mathematics, in particular, in the theory of differential and integral equations and the theory of Dirichlet series. It
The 2nd Edition of this popular textbook is a major revision. It is written within the context of communication theory as well as the theory of signals and noise. Part I bridges the gap between commun
This book develops an understanding of sophisticated tools by using them. Complex variable theory is developed. The first three chapters and selected topics make a nice course. This course should appe
Linear optimization, also commonly called linear programming, is a widely used tool for transforming a real-life decision problem into a mathematical model, for designing algorithms to analyze the mod
The author presents an alternative method of constructing multi-frontal direct solver algorithms for mesh-based computations based on the additional available knowledge about the structure of the comp
Lewinski (Warsaw U. of Technology) and Telega (Polish Academic of Sciences) synthesize the applications of the homogenization methods of analyzing the structure of the three shapes of composite materi
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
Reviews the continuous, discrete, and semicontinuous Boltzmann equations for modeling the kinetic theory of gases, and reports new developments, mathematical problems, and applications in the field. T
