This book covers the fundamentals of path integrals, both the Wiener and Feynman types, and their many applications in physics. It deals with systems that have an infinite number of degrees of freedom. The book discusses the general physical background and concepts of the path integral approach used, followed by the most typical and important...
The purpose of this reviewarticle is to serve as an introduction and at the same time, as an invitation to the theory of towers of function fields over finite fields. More specifically, we treat here the case of explicit towers; i.e., towers where the function fields are given by explicit equations. The asymptotic behaviour of the genus and of the...

‘Tarantola's book is undoubtedly the most important work on probabilistic inverse theory. It presents a complete theory where a physical parameter is represented, not by a number, but by a probability distribution.’ Klaus Mosegaard, Niels Bohr Institute
The use of actual observations to infer the properties of a...
In this age of universal electronic connectivity, of viruses and hackers, of electronic eavesdropping
and electronic fraud, there is indeed no time at which security does not matter.Two
trends have come together to make the topic of this book of vital interest. First, the explosive
growth in computer systems and their interconnections...
This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date look at problem solving research and practice over the last fifteen years. The first chapter describes differences in types of problems, individual differences among problem-solvers, as well as the domain and context within which a problem is being solved. Part one describes six kinds...
OvER THE PAST fifteen years I have worked for Oracle Corporation, and with many
customers who were keen to find the limitations of the (then) current Oracle database
on the latest and greatest hardware platforms of the day.
These customers have demanded ever increasing database performance at
what seems a...
This book contains good number of C “recipes” for readers at all levels, from beginning
to advanced. This book follows a problem-solution approach so that you can quickly find
the solution to a desired problem. Every solution comes with suitable code and a brief
discussion of that code. An attempt has been...
Do you pull out your credit card when you know you shouldn’t? Do you watch others make a purchase and decide to make the same one, despite the fact that you have neither the money nor the need for it? Do you find yourself ignoring your bank statements because you’re afraid of what they might show?Many, if not most, Americans would...
