Although there are many books on mathematical finance, few deal with the statistical aspects of modern data analysis as applied to financial problems. This textbook fills this gap by addressing some of the most challenging issues facing financial engineers. It shows how sophisticated mathematics and modern statistical techniques can...
Induction motors are the most important workhorses in industry. They are mostly used as constant-speed drives when fed from a voltage source of fixed frequency. Advent of advanced power electronic converters and powerful digital signal processors, however, has made possible the development of high performance, adjustable speed AC motor...
One of the most mysterious areas of information security is industrial system security.
No other area of information security contains that many myths, mistakes, misconceptions
and outright lies. Information available online, while voluminous, will
only lead information security professionals and industrial systems...
