  • Numberby Tobias Dantzig

    Penguin Group Inc. 2007; US$ 13.99

    Number is an eloquent, accessible tour de force that reveals how the concept of number evolved from prehistoric times through the twentieth century. Tobias Dantzig shows that the development of math—from the invention of counting to the discovery of infinity—is a profoundly human story that progressed by “trying and erring, by groping and stumbling.” He shows how commerce, war, and religion led to advances in math, and he recounts the stories of individuals whose breakthroughs expanded the concept of number and created the mathematics that we know today. more...

  • Remedial Fractionsby Jane Bourke; Rod Jefferson

    Ready-Ed Publications 1998; US$ 8.90

    Photocopy master book designed to complement a remedial Math program for small groups of students. Explains the basic concepts of fractions, including the relationship between fractions, decimals and percentages.

  • Differential Equations with Symbolic Computationby Dongming Wang; Zhiming Zheng

    Springer 2005; US$ 129.00

    Presents tackling differential equations using advanced methods and software tools of symbolic computation. This book focuses on the symbolic-computational aspects of three kinds of fundamental problems in differential equations: transforming the equations, solving the equations, and studying the structure and properties of their solutions. more...

  • Semi-Markov Risk Models for Finance, Insurance and Reliabilityby Jacques Janssen; Raimondo Manca

    Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2007; US$ 99.00

    This book presents applications of semi-Markov processes in finance, insurance and reliability, using real-life problems as examples. After a presentation of the main probabilistic tools necessary for understanding of the book, the authors show how to apply semi-Markov processes in finance, starting from the axiomatic definition and continuing eventually to the most advanced financial tools, particularly in insurance and in risk-and-ruin theories. Also considered are reliability problems that interact with credit risk theory in finance. The unique approach of this book is to solve finance and insurance problems with semi-Markov models in a complete way and furthermore present real-life applications of semi-Markov processes. more...

  • Adaptive Mesh Refinement - Theory and Applicationsby Tomasz Plewa; Timur Linde; V. Gregory Weirs

    Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 179.00

    Advanced numerical simulations that use adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) methods have now become routine in engineering and science. Originally developed for computational fluid dynamics applications these methods have propagated to fields as diverse as astrophysics, climate modeling, combustion, biophysics and many others. The underlying physical models and equations used in these disciplines are rather different, yet algorithmic and implementation issues facing practitioners are often remarkably similar. Unfortunately, there has been little effort to review the advances and outstanding issues of adaptive mesh refinement methods across such a variety of fields. This book attempts to bridge this gap. The book presents a collection of papers by... more...

  • Tutorials on Emerging Methodologies and Applications in Operations Researchby Harvey J. Greenberg

    Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2006; US$ 130.00

    The primary purpose of Tutorials on Emerging Methodologies and Applications in Operations Research is to provide a reference for practitioners and academics who seek a clear, concise presentation of developing methodologies, hence providing themselves with the capability to apply these methods to new problems. The field of Operations Research is always changing. Its changes are driven by the technology it uses and that it extends, and the applications that it affects. Relevant changes in the field have a permanent effect on the conduct of OR and are vital to anyone who wants to be current in the field. Each chapter presents a new developing methodology in Operations Research. Each chapter examines each topic with clarity and depth, and organizes... more...

  • A Posteriori Error Analysis via Duality Theoryby Weimin Han

    Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2006; US$ 134.00

    Provides a posteriori error analysis for mathematical idealizations in modeling boundary value problems, especially those arising in mechanical applications, and for numerical approximations of numerous nonlinear variational problems. Many examples are included to show the usefulness of the derived error estimates. more...
