This book provides an elementary, accessible introduction to the concepts of ordinary and partial boundary value problems, acquainting readers with fundamental properties and efficient methods of constructing solutions or satisfactory approximations. The author motivates the mathematical theory by i..
Exploring the advantages of the state-space approach, this book presents numerous computational procedures that can be applied to a previously specified linear model in state-space form. It discusses model estimation and signal extraction; describes many procedures to combine, decompose, aggregate, ..
This book addresses the problem of treating interior responses of complex electronic enclosures or systems, and presents a probabilistic approach. Relationships for determining the statistics of the driving fields to apply to a circuit analysis code representing part of an enclosed system's writing..
This work details the fundamentals of applied statistics and experimental design, presenting a unified approach to data handling that emphasizes the analysis of variance, regression analysis and the use of Statistical Analysis System computer programs. This edition: discusses modern nonparametric me..
In the last decade, statisticians have developed a set of new statistical tools and approaches for the field of spatial point processes. At the same time, observational efforts have provided a huge amount of new cosmological data to be analyzed. For the first time in book form and within a single vo..
Offering support to statistical consultants, this is the first full text on design-based stereology. It provides a full overview of the statistical principles of modern stereology and details sampling designs for estimating stereological parameters...
This collection presents roughly 150 poems related to mathematics in content, form, or imagery. The editors emphasize the various manifestations of love, from romantic love, spiritual love, and humorous love to the love between parents and children to mathematicians in love and love of mathematics. ..
This book takes the unique approach of examining number theory as it emerged in the 17th through 19th centuries. It leads to an understanding of today's research problems on the basis of their historical development. This book is a contribution to cultural history and brings a difficult subject with..
Models for the mechanical behavior of porous media introduced more than 50 years ago are still relied upon today, but more recent work shows that they may sometimes violate the laws of thermodynamics. This monograph shows that physical consistency requires a unique description of dynamic processes t..
