Introduction to Precise Numerical Methodsby Oliver Aberth
Elsevier 2007; US$ 87.95
Precise numerical analysis may be defined as the study of computer methods for solving mathematical problems either exactly or to prescribed accuracy. This book explains how precise numerical analysis is constructed. It includes a CD-ROM which contains executable Windows XP programs for the PC and which demonstrates how these programs can be used to solve typical problems of elementary numerical analysis with precision. The book also provides exercises which illustrate points from the text and references for the methods presented. � Clearer, simpler descriptions and explanations of the various numerical methods � Windows based software � Two new types of numerical problems; accurately solving partial differential equations with the included... more...

Stochastic Relationsby Ernst-Erich Doberkat
Taylor & Francis 2007; US$ 99.95
Collecting information previously scattered throughout the vast literature, including the author's own research, Stochastic Relations: Foundations for Markov Transition Systems develops the theory of stochastic relations as a basis for Markov transition systems. After an introduction to the basic mathematical tools from topology, measure theory, and categories, the book examines the central topics of congruences and morphisms, applies these to the monoidal structure, and defines bisimilarity and behavioral equivalence within this framework. The author views developments from the general theory of coalgebras in the context of the subprobability functor. These tools show that bisimilarity and behavioral and logical equivalence are the same... more...
