Oxford Handbook of the History of Mathematics (Oxford Handbooks)

Oxford University Press, 2009

This Handbook explores the history of mathematics under a series of themes which raise new questions about what mathematics has been and what it has meant to practice it. It addresses questions of who creates mathematics, who uses it, and how. A broader understanding of mathematical practitioners naturally leads to a new appreciation of what...

Concepts of Modern Mathematics

Dover Publications, 1995

Concepts of Modern Mathematics began as an extramural course nowadays we would say 'continuing education—taught at Warwick University in 1971. Several dozen citizens of Coventry, ranging from school students to a retired automotive engineer, gathered for two hours every week to grapple with what was then called...

Automatic Sequences: Theory, Applications, Generalizations

Cambridge University Press, 2003

Combining concepts of mathematics and computer science, this book is about the sequences of symbols that can be generated by simple models of computation called "finite automata". Suitable for graduate students or advanced undergraduates, it starts from elementary principles and develops the basic theory. The study then progresses...

Elements of Neo-Walrasian Economics: A Survey (Advances in Japanese Business and Economics)

Springer, 2013

This book aims to explain to the readers the basic idea of the general equilibrium theory, which forms the core of the current mainstream economics called neoclassical school. To understand this theory is absolutely necessary, either to study further or to criticize the contemporary economic theories. The author not only explains traditional...

Fundamental Models in Financial Theory

MIT Press, 2014

This book provides an innovative, integrated, and methodical approach to understanding complex financial models, integrating topics usually presented separately into a comprehensive whole. The book brings together financial models and high-level mathematics, reviewing the mathematical background necessary for understanding these models...

Calculus for Computer Graphics

Springer, 2013

Students studying computer animation and computer games have to be familiar with geometry, matrices, vectors, rotation transforms, quaternions, curves and surfaces, and as computer graphics software becomes increasingly sophisticated, calculus is also being used to resolve its associated problems.

The author draws upon his...

Algorithms in Combinatorial Design Theory (Mathematics Studies)

Elsevier Limited, 1985

Recent years have seen an explosive growth in research in combinatorics and graph theory. One primary factor in this rapid development has been the advent of computers, and the parallel study of practical and efficient algorithms. This volume represents an attempt to...

Recent Trends in Algebraic Combinatorics (Association for Women in Mathematics Series)

Springer, 2019

This edited volume features a curated selection of research in algebraic combinatorics that explores the boundaries of current knowledge in the field. Focusing on topics experiencing broad interest and rapid growth, invited contributors offer survey articles on representation theory, symmetric functions, invariant theory, and...

Three Laws of Nature: A Little Book on Thermodynamics

Yale University Press, 2019

A short and entertaining introduction to thermodynamics that uses real-world examples to explain accessibly an important but subtle scientific theory

A romantic description of the second law of thermodynamics is that the universe becomes increasingly disordered. But what does that actually mean? Starting with...

Cryptography: A Very Short Introduction

Oxford University Press, 2002

We are surrounded by cryptography, from the ATM, where we withdraw cash, mobile phones, and the Internet, to workplace security systems that protect business secrets, and the civil and military codes that protect the skies above us.

In this fascinating introduction to how cryptography actually works, Fred Piper and Sean Murphy highlight...

Essentials of Radio Wave Propagation (The Cambridge Wireless Essentials Series)

Cambridge University Press, 2008

If you need to maximize efficiency in wireless network planning, this quick reference guide to an increasingly complex and difficult topic is for you. Using real-world case studies, practical problems and minimum mathematics, the author explains simply and clearly how to predict signal strengths in a variety of situations. More sophisticated...

Basic Classes of Linear Operators

Birkhauser, 2004

"With a name like Gohberg–Goldberg–Kaashoek, it has got to be good. But let me count the ways. If you are interested in learning the basic theories of Hilbert and Banach spaces together with the well-known operators that act on them, this book is for you. It is intended for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in...
