Differential Geometryby Clifford Henry Taubes
OUP Oxford 2011; US$ 49.50Bundles, connections, metrics and curvature are the 'lingua franca' of modern differential geometry and theoretical physics. This book will supply a graduate student in mathematics or theoretical physics with the fundamentals of these objects. Many of the tools used in differential topology are introduced and the basic results about differentiable manifolds, smooth maps, differential forms, vector fields, Lie groups, and Grassmanians are all presented here. Other material covered includes the basic theorems about geodesics and Jacobi fields, the classification theorem for flat connections, the definition of characteristic classes, and also an introduction to complex and K--auml--;hler geometry.Differential Geometry uses many of the... more...

MATLAB Primerby Timothy A. Davis
CRC Press 2010; US$ 21.99The eighth edition of this popular book provides a hands-on introduction to MATLAB[registered] that can be used at the undergraduate level. The new edition features the use of MATLAB 8.0, which will be introduced to the market in March 2010. It covers object-oriented programming in MATLAB and the improvements that have been made to the MATLAB desktop and programming tools. There is a new chapter that discusses MATLAB Central, a supporting website where users can exchange files, blogs, and links. In addition, the appendix of help topics has been updated to reflect only the most frequently used commands, making it quicker and easier to access needed information. more...
Modular Invariant Theoryby H.E.A. Campbell; David L. Wehlau
Springer 2011; US$ 124.00This book covers the modular invariant theory of finite groups, the case when the characteristic of the field divides the order of the group, a theory that is more complicated than the study of the classical non-modular case. Largely self-contained, the book develops the theory from its origins up to modern results. It explores many examples, illustrating the theory and its contrast with the better understood non-modular setting. It details techniques for the computation of invariants for many modular representations of finite groups, especially the case of the cyclic group of prime order. It includes detailed examples of many topics as well as a quick survey of the elements of algebraic geometry and commutative algebra as they apply to invariant... more...
Matlabby Stormy Attaway
Elsevier Science 2011; US$ 49.95Assuming no knowledge of programming, this book presents both programming concepts and MATLAB?s built-in functions, providing a perfect platform for exploiting MATLAB?s extensive capabilities for tackling engineering problems. It starts with programming concepts such as variables, assignments, input/output, and selection statements, moves onto loops and then solves problems using both the ?programming concept? and the ?power of MATLAB? side-by-side. In-depth coverage is given to input/output, a topic that is fundamental to many engineering applications. Ancillaries available with the text: Instructor solution manual (available Aug. 1st) electronic images from the text (available Aug 16th) m-files (available Aug 1st) * Presents... more...

Spatiotemporal Data Analysisby Gidon Eshel
Princeton University Press 2011; US$ 85.00A severe thunderstorm morphs into a tornado that cuts a swath of destruction through Oklahoma. How do we study the storm's mutation into a deadly twister? Avian flu cases are reported in China. How do we characterize the spread of the flu, potentially preventing an epidemic? The way to answer important questions like these is to analyze the spatial and temporal characteristics--origin, rates, and frequencies--of these phenomena. This comprehensive text introduces advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers to the statistical and algebraic methods used to analyze spatiotemporal data in a range of fields, including climate science, geophysics, ecology, astrophysics, and medicine. Gidon Eshel begins with a concise yet... more...
