This new approach to real analysis stresses the use of the subject in applications, by showing how the principles and theory of real analysis can be applied in a variety of settings in subjects ranging from Fourier series and polynomial approximation to discrete dynamical systems and nonlinear optimization. Users will be prepared for more...

Optimization is a subject that is widely and increasingly used in science, engineering, economics, management, industry, and other areas. It deals with selecting the best of many possible decisions in real-life environment, constructing computational methods to find optimal solutions, exploring the theoretical properties, and studying...

"The present book gives a concise treatment of the area, aiming to show the relevance in particular of new developments in nonsmooth analysis to optimization theory…The book is of a manageable size and as such should appeal to the student. Further, the proofs are generally short and snappy, revealing the power...

"This monograph is devoted to methods of analysis and models of contacting systems dynamics, including heat generation and wears exhibited by such systems. … The monograph is generally well written and well organized. Strength of the book is the quantity and variety of example nonlinear system considered. This book...

Almost all publications on borehole electromagnetics deal with idealizations that are not acceptable physically, and unfortunately, even these models are company proprietary.  On the other hand, “exact models” are only available through detailed finite element or finite difference analysis, and more often than not, simply...

Co-authored by four leading scientists from academia and industry, Numerical Recipes Third Edition starts with basic mathematics and computer science and proceeds to complete, working routines. Widely recognized as the most comprehensive, accessible and practical basis for scientific computing, this new edition incorporates more than 400...
