Cells and Robots: Modeling and Control of Large-Size Agent Populations (Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics)

Springer, 2007

From the reviews:

"This interesting monograph is devoted to the study of multi-agent, populations of biological cells and robot teams. … The main objective of the approach is to provide solutions to the problem of how dynamics of an individual agent propagates to the population dynamics. … This original monograph has a wide...

Image Processing for Computer Graphics and Vision (Texts in Computer Science)

Springer, 2008

Image processing is concerned with the analysis and manipulation of images by computer. Providing a thorough treatment of image processing, with an emphasis on those aspects most used in computer graphics and vision, this fully revised second edition concentrates on describing and analyzing the underlying concepts of this subject.

Advanced Signal Processing and Noise Reduction, 2nd Edition

John Wiley & Sons, 2000

This book presents a broad range of theory and application of statistical signal processing. The emphasis is on digital noise reduction algorithms, particularly important in the field of mobile communication. Vaseghi covers a broad range of applications, including spectral estimation, channel equalization, speech coding over noisy channels,...

Statistical Language Models for Information Retrieval (Synthesis Lectures on Human Language Technologies)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

As online information grows dramatically, search engines such as Google are playing a more and more important role in our lives. Critical to all search engines is the problem of designing an effective retrieval model that can rank documents accurately for a given query. This has been a central research problem in information retrieval for several...

Schrodinger's Rabbits: The Many Worlds of Quantum

Joseph Henry Press, 2004

"Usually quantum fuzziness appears only in ultratiny arenas, on a scale smaller than a golf ball to the degree that the golf ball is smaller than Texas. But nowadays, in labs around the world, scientists are plotting to release quantum weirdness from its subatomic prison. Before too long, quantum news won't be just for the science section...

Inverse Problem Theory and Methods for Model Parameter Estimation

SIAM, 2004

‘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...

From Erdos to Kiev: Problems of Olympiad Caliber (Dolciani Mathematical Expositions)

The Mathematical Association of America, 1997

'The publication of every new volume in The Dolciani Mathematical Expositions of the Mathematical Association of America is an important event ... This book is recommended to teachers, students and everyone, who enjoy the fun and games of problem solving and have the opinion that asking and answering problems is what keeps a mathematician young in...

Criminal Investigative Failures

CRC Press, 2008

This topic is vitally important for not only understanding the causes and prevention of failures, but for understanding and measuring success.
—John Eck, University of Cincinnati, Department of Criminal Justice

For serious crimes, criminal investigators are the gatekeepers for the rest of the criminal...

Scaling Limits in Statistical Mechanics and Microstructures in Continuum Mechanics (Theoretical and Mathematical Physics)

Springer, 2008

Collective behavior in systems with many components, blow-ups with emergence of microstructures are proofs of the double, continuum and atomistic, nature of macroscopic systems, an issue which has always intrigued scientists and philosophers. Modern technologies have made the question more actual and concrete with recent, remarkable progresses also...

Neural Networks: A Systematic Introduction

Springer, 1996

One of the well-springs of mathematical inspiration has been the continuing attempt to formalize human thought. From the syllogisms of the Greeks, through all of logic and probability theory, cognitive models have led to beautiful mathematics and wide ranging application. But mental processes have proven to be more complex than any of the formal...

When Least Is Best: How Mathematicians Discovered Many Clever Ways to Make Things as Small (or as Large) as Possible

Princeton Press, 2007

This book was terrific fun to read! I thought I would skim the chapters to write my review, but I was hooked by the preface, and read through the first 100 pages in one sitting... [Nahin shows] obvious delight and enjoyment--he is having fun and it is contagious. -- Bonnie Shulman MAA Online When Least is Best is clearly the result of immense...

All the Mathematics You Missed But Need to Know for Graduate School

Cambridge University Press, 2002

"Point set topology, complex analysis, differential forms, the curvature of surfaces, the axiom of choice, Lebesgue integration, Fourier analysis, algorithms, and differential equations.... I found these sections to be the high points of the book. They were a sound introduction to material that some but not all graduate students will...
