Linearity plays a critical role in the study of elementary differential equations; linear differential equations, especially systems thereof, demonstrate a fundamental application of linear algebra. In Differential Equations with Linear Algebra, we explore this interplay between linear algebra and differential equations and examine...
Algebraic geometry has found fascinating applications to coding theory
and cryptography in the last few decades. This book aims to provide the
necessary theoretical background for reading the contemporary literature on
these applications. An aspect that we emphasize, as it is very useful for
the applications, is the interplay between...
Impulsive diï¬erential equations are suitable for the mathematical simulation
of evolutionary processes in which the parameters undergo relatively long
periods of smooth variation followed by a short-term rapid changes (i.e.,
jumps) in their values. Processes of this type are often investigated in various
ï¬elds of...
"Problems in Real Analysis: Advanced Calculus on the Real Axis" features a comprehensive collection of challenging problems in mathematical analysis that aim to promote creative, non-standard techniques for solving problems. This self-contained text offers a host of new mathematical tools and strategies which develop a connection...
The first comprehensive book on software test and analysis
You can't “test quality into” a software product, but neither can you build a quality software product without test and analysis. Software test and analysis is increasingly recognized, in research and in industrial practice, as a core challenge in...
Recognizing the interplay between biomedicine and indigenous medicine among the Mapuche in Southern Chile, this book explores notions of culture and personhood through the bodily experiences and medical choices of patients. Through case studies of patients in the context of medical pluralism, Kristensen argues that medical practices are...
Monitoring and Intervention for the Critically Ill Small Animal: The Rule of 20 offers guidance for assessing the patient, interpreting diagnostic test results, and selecting appropriate monitoring procedures.
Based on Rebecca Kirby’s time-tested Rule of 20, with a chapter devoted to each item on the...
Few technical lerms have gained such rapid notoriety as the appela
tion "NP-complete." In the short lime since its introduction in the early
1970's, this term has come to symbolize the abyss of inherent intractability
that algorithm designers increasingly face as they seek to solve larger and
more complex problems. A...
Writing comprehensive design documents, accurately estimating tasks and schedules, setting up a comprehensive QA planthese are all important aspects of the game development process that are often underplanned. Game company executive Erik Bethke provides a guidebook...
This book has originated from lectures on regulation and signal transduction that are
offered to students of biochemistry, biology and chemistry at the University of Bayreuth.
The idea to write a book on signal transduction was born during the preparations
of these lectures where I realized that it is extremely difficult to achieve...
The field of iminosugars is a very exciting area of research. These carbohydrate mimetics
were first imagined and synthesized by chemists in the 1960s before being isolated from
Nature a few years later. Since the discovery of their biological activity as potent glycosidase
inhibitors in the 1970s, iminosugars have been the subject...
Digital sculpting is the use of tools to push, pull, smooth, grab, pinch or otherwise manipulate a digital object as if it were made of a real-life substance such as clay. Mudbox is the premier sculpting solution for digital artists, allowing them to naturally and easily sculpt detailed, organic characters and models in a way that feels like...
