Want to calculate the probability that an event will happen? Be able to spot fake data? Prove beyond doubt whether one thing causes another? Or learn to be a better gambler? You can do that and much more with 75 practical and fun hacks packed into Statistics Hacks. These cool tips, tricks, and...

Arising from courses taught by the authors, this largely self-contained treatment is ideal for mathematicians who are interested in applications or for students from applied fields who want to understand the mathematics behind their subject. Early chapters cover Fourier analysis, functional analysis, probability and linear algebra, all of...

Montgomery, Runger, and Hubele provide modern coverage of engineering statistics, focusing on how statistical tools are integrated into the engineering problem-solving process.  All major aspects of engineering statistics are covered, including descriptive statistics, probability and probability distributions, statistical test and...

This reference book gives the reader a complete but comprehensive presentation of the foundations of convex analysis and presents applications to significant situations in engineering. The presentation of the theory is self-contained and the proof of all the essential results is given. The examples consider meaningful situations such as the...

This text presents the two complementary aspects of thermal physics as an integrated theory of the properties of matter. Conceptual understanding is promoted by thorough development of basic concepts. In contrast to many texts, statistical mechanics, including discussion of the required probability theory, is presented first. This provides a...

This 15-chapter textbook remains the only major text that can be used for both undergraduate...

MATLAB is an abbreviation for MATrix LABoratory and it is ideally suited for computations involving matrices. Since all of the sciences routinely collect data in the form of (spreadsheet) matrices, MATLAB turns out to be particularly suitable for the analysis of mathematical problems in an assortment of fields. MATLAB is very easy to...
