  • Mathematical Modeling

    A Chemical Engineer's Perspective
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 1
    • Rutherford Aris
    • English
    Mathematical modeling is the art and craft of building a system of equations that is both sufficiently complex to do justice to physical reality and sufficiently simple to give real insight into the situation. Mathematical Modeling: A Chemical Engineer's Perspective provides an elementary introduction to the craft by one of the century's most distinguished practitioners. Though the book is written from a chemical engineering viewpoint, the principles and pitfalls are common to all mathematical modeling of physical systems. Seventeen of the author's frequently cited papers are reprinted to illustrate applications to convective diffusion, formal chemical kinetics, heat and mass transfer, and the philosophy of modeling. An essay of acknowledgments, asides, and footnotes captures personal reflections on academic life and personalities.

  • Fourier Acoustics

    Sound Radiation and Nearfield Acoustical Holography
    • 1st Edition
    • Earl G. Williams
    • English
    Intended a both a textbook and a reference, Fourier Acoustics develops the theory of sound radiation uniquely from the viewpoint of Fourier Analysis. This powerful perspective of sound radiation provides the reader with a comprehensive and practical understanding which will enable him or her to diagnose and solve sound and vibration problems in the 21st Century. As a result of this perspective, Fourier Acoustics is able to present thoroughly and simply, for the first time in book form, the theory of nearfield acoustical holography, an important technique which has revolutionised the measurement of sound. Relying little on material outside the book, Fourier Acoustics will be invaluable as a graduate level text as well as a reference for researchers in academia and industry.

  • Ordinary Differential Equations and Applications

    Mathematical Methods for Applied Mathematicians, Physicists, Engineers and Bioscientists
    • 1st Edition
    • W S Weiglhofer + 1 more
    • English
    This introductory text presents ordinary differential equations with a modern approach to mathematical modelling in a one semester module of 20–25 lectures.

  • Mathematics for Physical Chemistry

    • 2nd Edition
    • Robert G. Mortimer
    • English
    Mathematics for Physical Chemistry is the ideal textbook for upper-level undergraduates or graduate students who want to sharpen their mathematics skills while they are enrolled in a physical chemistry course. Solved examples and problems, interspersed throughout the presentation and intended to be worked when met in the text, encourage self-study by students new to the material. The author provides readers with a review of calculus and differential equations that will enable them to succeed in a physical chemistry course. An ideal reference text for practicing chemists as well.

  • Geometry and Its Applications

    • 1st Edition
    • Walter A. Meyer
    • English
    Geometry and Its Applications combines traditional geometry with ideas of recent decades to present a new approach for the 21st century. It balances the deductive approach with discovery learning, and introduces axiomatic, Euclidian geometry, non-Euclidian geometry, and transformational geometry. The text integrates realistic applications throughout, includes historical notes in many chapters, and contains student and instructor's guides that support Geometer's Sketchpad. Includes a free instructor's manual to professors of adopting universities.

  • Theory of Rank Tests

    • 2nd Edition
    • Zbynek Sidak + 2 more
    • English
    The first edition of Theory of Rank Tests (1967) has been the precursor to a unified and theoretically motivated treatise of the basic theory of tests based on ranks of the sample observations. For more than 25 years, it helped raise a generation of statisticians in cultivating their theoretical research in this fertile area, as well as in using these tools in their application oriented research. The present edition not only aims to revive this classical text by updating the findings but also by incorporating several other important areas which were either not properly developed before 1965 or have gone through an evolutionary development during the past 30 years. This edition therefore aims to fulfill the needs of academic as well as professional statisticians who want to pursue nonparametrics in their academic projects, consultation, and applied research works.

  • Categorical Logic and Type Theory

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 141
    • B. Jacobs
    • English
    This book is an attempt to give a systematic presentation of both logic and type theory from a categorical perspective, using the unifying concept of fibred category. Its intended audience consists of logicians, type theorists, category theorists and (theoretical) computer scientists.

  • A Course in Real Analysis

    • 1st Edition
    • John N. McDonald + 1 more
    • English
    A Course in Real Analysis provides a firm foundation in real analysis concepts and principles while presenting a broad range of topics in a clear and concise manner. This student-oriented text balances theory and applications, and contains a wealth of examples and exercises. Throughout the text, the authors adhere to the idea that most students learn more efficiently by progressing from the concrete to the abstract. McDonald and Weiss have also created real application chapters on probability theory, harmonic analysis, and dynamical systems theory. The text offers considerable flexibility in the choice of material to cover.

  • Recursive Algebra, Analysis and Combinatorics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 2
    • English

  • Handbook of Coding Theory

    Part 2: Connections, Part 3: Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume II
    • Bozzano G Luisa
    • English
    The second volume of this work contains Parts 2 and 3 of the "Handbook of Coding Theory". Part 2, "Connections", is devoted to connections between coding theory and other branches of mathematics and computer science. Part 3, "Applications", deals with a variety of applications for coding.
