 | | The Mathematica HandbookThe Mathematica Handbook is intended to provide a convenient reference of all built-in Mathematica Version 2.0 objects to both beginning and advanced users of Mathematica alike. This book arose out of the need to have a convenient reference of all Mathematica commands and objects along with typical examples of them. In addition, The Mathematica... | | How to Lie with MapsOriginally published to wide acclaim, this lively, cleverly illustrated essay on the use and abuse of maps teaches us how to evaluate maps critically and promotes a healthy skepticism about these easy-to-manipulate models of reality. Monmonier shows that, despite their immense value, maps lie. In fact, they must.

Parameter Estimation for Scientists and EngineersThe subject of this book is estimating parameters of expectation models of statistical observations. The book describes what I consider the most important aspects of the subject for applied scientists and engineers. From experience, I know that this group of users is often not aware of estimators other than least squares. Therefore, one of my... | | Modeling with Data: Tools and Techniques for Scientific ComputingI am a psychiatric geneticist but my degree is in neuroscience, which means that I now do far more statistics than I have been trained for. I cannot overstate to you the magnitude of the change in my productivity since finding this book. Even after reading the first few chapters, which explain why data analysis is painful and how one can implement... | | Geo-Data: The World Geographical EncyclopediaGale is pleased to present the third edition of Geo-Data: The World Geographical Encyclopedia. This is the first new edition of Geo-Data since 1989, and it represents a complete revision and updating of that work.
