Janice VanCleave's Super Science Modelsby Janice VanCleave
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2004; US$ 12.95Learn a lot about science as you make models showing how things work! A spectacular model of an active volcano . . . a fascinating representation of the solar system . . . scale reproductions of atoms and molecules . . . In Janice VanCleave's Super Science Models, America's favorite science teacher shows you how to make these and other eye-catching science models that will help you show what you know in class or at a science fair! Inside, you'll find easy-to-follow instructions for 25 great models that reveal the worlds of astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics. You'll also get helpful hints on displaying your models, including advice on backboards, scale models, stands, and other clever techniques. As with all of Janice... more...
Calculated Betsby Steven Skiena; Ronald Graham; John Barrow; Fan Chung; Ingrid Daubechies; Persi Diaconis; Don Zagier
Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 23.00This is a book about a gambling system that works. The author tells the story of how he used computer simulations and mathematical modeling techniques to predict the outcome of jai-alai matches and bet on them successfully - increasing his initial stake by over 500% in one year! more...
Mathematical Perspectives On Theoretical Physicsby Nirmala Prakash
World Scientific 2003; US$ 153.40This book presents the basics of mathematics that are needed for learning the physics of today. It describes briefly the theories of groups and operators, finite- and infinite-dimensional algebras, concepts of symmetry and supersymmetry, and then delineates their relations to theories of relativity and black holes, classical and quantum physics, electroweak fields and Yang?Mills. more...
Applied Research in Uncertainty Modeling and Analysisby Nii O. Attoh-Okine
Springer 2005; US$ 129.00Uncertainty has been a concern to engineers, managers, and scientists for many years in engineering and sciences. Uncertainty has for a long time been considered synonymous with random, stochastic, statistic, or probabilistic. Since the early sixties views on uncertainty have become more heterogeneous and more tools that model uncertainty than statistics have been proposed by several engineers and scientists. The tool/ method to model uncertainty in a specific context should really be choices by considering the features of the phenomenon under consideration not independently of what is known about the system and what causes uncertainty. more...
Variational Analysis and Generalized Differentiationby Boris S. Mordukhovich
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 119.00Contains a comprehensive study of the basic concepts and principles of variational analysis and generalized differentiation in both finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional spaces and presents numerous applications to problems in optimization, equilibria, stability and sensitivity, control theory, economics, mechanics, and more. more...
Principles of Mathematical Modelingby Clive Dym
Elsevier 2004; US$ 97.95Science and engineering students depend heavily on concepts of mathematical modeling. In an age where almost everything is done on a computer, author Clive Dym believes that students need to understand and "own" the underlying mathematics that computers are doing on their behalf. His goal for Principles of Mathematical Modeling, Second Edition , is to engage the student reader in developing a foundational understanding of the subject that will serve them well into their careers. The first half of the book begins with a clearly defined set of modeling principles, and then introduces a set of foundational tools including dimensional analysis, scaling techniques, and approximation and validation techniques. The second half demonstrates the... more...
Variational Analysis and Generalized Differentiation Iby Boris S. Mordukhovich
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 119.00Contains a study of the basic concepts and principles of variational analysis and generalized differentiation in both finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional spaces. This title presents many applications to problems in optimization, equilibria, stability and sensitivity, control theory, economics, mechanics, and more. more...
Optimization Modellingby Ruhul Amin Sarker
Taylor & Francis 2007; US$ 129.95Illustrating the influence of modelling on the decision making process, this book helps readers come to grips with a wide range of modelling techniques. The authors present these techniques in a straightforward manner illustrated by examples. They analyze the formulation and modelling of a number of well-known theoretical and practical problems and touch on solution approaches. The book also discusses the use of software packages in solving optimization models without going into mathematical details and complex solution methods. The authors draw directly from their experience to provide lessons learned when applying modelling techniques to practical problem solving and implementation difficulties. more...
Selected Works of S.L. Sobolevby Gennadii V. Demidenko; Vladimir L. Vaskevich
Springer 2006; US$ 149.00Sobolev was a great mathematician of the twentieth century. His selected works included in this volume laid the foundations for development of the modern theory of partial differential equations and equations of mathematical physics. The topics covered include equations of mathematical physics, computational mathematics and cubature formulas. more...
Mathematical Modeling, Simulation, Visualization and E-learningby Dialla Konate
Springer 2007; US$ 99.00This book is a collection of articles written by some of the most prominent leading applied mathematicians, as well as articles from young and promising scientists from Africa, Asia and Europe. The common objective of these articles is to present an important issue which is currently widely discussed in scientific investigation with major human, economic or ecological implications. One main feature of the series, which the current book exemplifies, is that each article is as deep as an expert lecture but is also self-contained, so that even isolated scientists with limited resources can profit greatly from it. Another feature of this book is that each article is meant to present a collection of open questions which can fuel undergraduate or... more...
