Ten Questions Science Can't Answer (Yet!): A Guide to Science's Greatest Mysteries
Ten Questions Science Can't Answer (Yet!): A Guide to Science's Greatest Mysteries
From the author of the bestselling The Science of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy comes another incredible trip to an even more mysterious terrain. Michael Hanlon identifies ten scientific questions that we simply can't seem to answer and explains why these compelling mysteries will remain unsolved for...
Nonnegative Matrix and Tensor Factorizations: Applications to Exploratory Multi-way Data Analysis and Blind Source Separation
Nonnegative Matrix and Tensor Factorizations: Applications to Exploratory Multi-way Data Analysis and Blind Source Separation
This book provides a broad survey of models and efficient algorithms for Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF). This includes NMF’s various extensions and modifications, especially Nonnegative Tensor Factorizations (NTF) and Nonnegative Tucker Decompositions (NTD). NMF/NTF and their extensions are increasingly used as tools in signal and...
Calculus DeMYSTiFieD, Second Edition
Calculus DeMYSTiFieD, Second Edition

Calculus is one of the milestones of Western thought. Building on ideas of Archimedes, Fermat, Newton, Leibniz, Cauchy, and many others, the calculus is arguably the cornerstone of modern science. Any well-educated person  should at least be acquainted with the ideas of calculus, and a scientifically literateperson must know calculus...

Newton's Gravity: An Introductory Guide to the Mechanics of the Universe (Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics)
Newton's Gravity: An Introductory Guide to the Mechanics of the Universe (Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics)

“Newton’s Gravity” conveys the power of simple mathematics to tell the fundamental truth about nature. Many people, for example, know the tides are caused by the pull of the Moon and to a lesser extent the Sun. But very few can explain exactly how and why that happens. Fewer still can calculate the  actual pulls of the...

Great Feuds in Mathematics: Ten of the Liveliest Disputes Ever
Great Feuds in Mathematics: Ten of the Liveliest Disputes Ever

Mathematical disputes offer indisputable proof that great mathematical minds are calculating in more ways than one. Fueled by greed, jealousy, ambition, and ego, they have plots worthy of a soap opera, pitting brother against brother, father against son, and student against mentor.

In the sixteenth century, Cardano and Tartaglia battled...

Encyclopedia of the Scientific Revolution: From Copernicus to Newton (Garland Reference Library of the Humanities, Vol. 1800)
Encyclopedia of the Scientific Revolution: From Copernicus to Newton (Garland Reference Library of the Humanities, Vol. 1800)
When Garland Publishing invited me several years ago to edit an encyclopedia of the Scientific Revolution, I welcomed the opportunity. Here was a means of providing a wider audience with the fruits of the most recent scholarly research on a fascinating complex of events that helped shape the modern world. The study of the origins of modern science...
Linear and Nonlinear Optimization, Second Edition
Linear and Nonlinear Optimization, Second Edition
This book provides an introduction to the applications, theory, and algorithms of linear and nonlinear optimization. The emphasis is on practical aspects—modern algorithms, as well as the influence of theory on the interpretation of solutions or on the design of software. Two important goals of this book are to present linear and nonlinear...
Fundamental Forces of Nature: The Story of Gauge Fields
Fundamental Forces of Nature: The Story of Gauge Fields
In this book I want to tell the story of gauge fields, the messengers that transmit signals among elementary particles, enabling them to interact. They work in the quantum realm of quarks, the deepest level of the structure of matter we have reached so far.

The basic interaction at this level percolates upwards, through hierarchies of

Newton: A Very Short Introduction
Newton: A Very Short Introduction
This Very Short Introduction uses Newton's own unpublished writings to provide fascinating insight into the man who kept the Royal Society under his thumb, was Head of the Mint, and whose contributions to our understanding of the heavens and the earth are considered by many to be unparalleled. The author begins with the legends surrounding...
