 The Experimental Foundations of Particle PhysicsOur current understanding of elementary particles and their interactions emerged from break-through experiments. This book presents these experiments, beginning with the discoveries of the neutron and positron, and following them through mesons, strange particles, antiparticles, and quarks and gluons. This second edition contains new chapters on... | | Spacetime, Geometry and Gravitation (Progress in Mathematical Physics)Teaching Einstein’s general relativity at introductory level poses problems because students cannot begin to appreciate the basics of the theory unless they learn a sufficient amount of Riemannian geometry. Most elementary books take the easy course of telling the students a few working rules stripping the mathematical details to a minimum... | | Handbook of Floating-Point ArithmeticFloating-point arithmetic is by far the most widely used way of implementing real-number arithmetic on modern computers. Although the basic principles of floating-point arithmetic can be explained in a short amount of time, making such an arithmetic reliable and portable, yet fast, is a very difficult task. From the 1960s to the early 1980s,... |

In this three-volume set you have the complete reference for all Base SAS procedures! It contains numerous examples of how to use procedures to analyze, manage, and present your data. An overview of each procedure is provided, giving you a clear idea of... | | Chebyshev PolynomialsChebyshev polynomials crop up in virtually every area of numerical analysis, and they hold particular importance in recent advances in subjects such as orthogonal polynomials, polynomial approximation, numerical integration, and spectral methods. Yet no book dedicated to Chebyshev polynomials has been published since 1990, and even that work... | | Handbook of MatricesNowadays matrices are used in many fields of science, Accordingly they have become standard tools in statistics, econometrics, mathematics, engineering and natural sciences textbooks, In fact, many textbooks from these fields have chapters, appendices or sections on matrices, Often collections of those results used in a book are included, Of... |

Mathematics of Economics and BusinessToday, a firm understanding of mathematics is essential for any serious student of economics. Students of economics need nowadays several important mathematical tools. These include calculus for functions of one or several variables as well as a basic understanding of optimization with and without constraints, e.g. linear programming plays an... | | Acting Lessons for TeachersWe love teaching. Both your authors and you, the readers, love the classroom experience. We accept that the students don’t always learn as much or as readily as we might have hoped, and we accept that we might not have executed a planned lesson as smoothly as we had hoped. But we still love the excitement of the first day, the thrill of... | | Free Calculus: A Liberation from Concepts and ProofsConventional calculus is too hard and too complex. Students are forced to learn too many theorems and proofs. In Free Calculus, the author suggests a direct approach to the two fundamental concepts of calculus -- differentiation and integration -- using two inequalities. Regular calculus is condensed into a single concise chapter. This makes the... |
