Categorical Data Analysis by Aic - Hardcover

$89.08

by Y. Sakamoto (Author)This volume presents a practical and unified approach to categorical data analysis based on the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and the Akaike Bayesian Information Criterion (ABIC). Conventional procedures for categorical data analysis are often inappropriate because the classical test procedures employed are too closely related to specific models. The approach described in this volume enables actual problems encountered by data analysts to be handled much more succ...

White Noise: An Infinite Dimensional Calculus - Hardcover

$178.18

by Takeyuki Hida (Author), Hui-Hsiung Kuo (Author), Jürgen Potthoff (Author)Many areas of applied mathematics call for an efficient calculus in infinite dimensions. This is most apparent in quantum physics and in all disciplines of science which describe natural phenomena by equations involving stochasticity. With this monograph we intend to provide a framework for analysis in infinite dimensions which is flexible enough to be applicable in many areas, and which on the other hand is intuitive...

Introduction to Geometry of Manifolds with Symmetry - Hardcover

$178.18

by V. V. Trofimov (Author)One ofthe most important features of the development of physical and mathematical sciences in the beginning of the 20th century was the demolition of prevailing views of the three-dimensional Euclidean space as the only possible mathematical description of real physical space. Apriorization of geometrical notions and identification of physical 3 space with its mathematical modellR were characteristic for these views. The discovery of non-Euclidean geometries led math...

Geostatistical Simulations: Proceedings of the Geostatistical Simulation Workshop, Fontainebleau, France, 27-28 May 1993 - Hardcover

$178.18

by M. Armstrong (Editor), P. a. Dowd (Editor)When this two-day meeting was proposed, it was certainly not conceived as a celebration, much less as a party. However, on reflection, this might have been a wholly appropriate gesture because geostatistical simulation came of age this year: it is now 21 years since it was first proposed and implemented in the form of the turning bands method. The impetus for the original development was the mining industry, principally the problems encountered in ...

Ramified Integrals, Singularities and Lacunas - Hardcover

$89.08

by V. a. Vassiliev (Author)Many special functions occuring in physics and partial differential equations can be represented by integral transformatIons: the fundamental solutions of many PDE's, Newton-Coulomb potentials, hypergeometric functions, Feynman integrals, initial data of (inverse) tomography problems, etc. The general picture of such transfor- mations is as follows. There is an analytic fibre bundle E --+ T, a differential form w on E, whose restrictions on the fibres are closed, an...

Numerical Methods for the Solution of Ill-Posed Problems - Hardcover

$89.08

by A. N. Tikhonov (Author), A. Goncharsky (Author), V. V. Stepanov (Author)Many problems in science, technology and engineering are posed in the form of operator equations of the first kind, with the operator and RHS approximately known. But such problems often turn out to be ill-posed, having no solution, or a non-unique solution, and/or an unstable solution. Non-existence and non-uniqueness can usually be overcome by settling for generalised' solutions, leading to the need to develop regul...

$68.31

by William T. Parry (Author), Edward A. Hacker (Author)This book provides detailed treatment of topics in traditional logic: the theory of terms; the theory of definition; the informal fallacies; and division and classification. Aristotelian Logic teaches techniques for solving semantic problems -- problems caused by confusion over terminology. It teaches the theory of definition -- the different kinds of definition and the criteria by which each is judged. It also teaches that definitions ar...

Conformal Quantum Field Theory in D-Dimensions - Hardcover

$178.18

by E. S. Fradkin (Author), Mark YA Palchik (Author)Our prime concern in this book is to discuss some most interesting prosppcts that have occurred recently in conformally invariant quantum field theory in a D-diuwnsional space. One of the most promising trends is constructing an pxact solution for a cprtain class of models. This task seems to be quite feasible in the light of recent resllits. The situation here is to some extent similar to what was going on in the past ypars with the two-dime...

Mathematical Undecidability, Quantum Nonlocality and the Question of the Existence of God - Hardcover

$178.18

by A. Driessen (Editor), Antoine Suarez (Editor)On January 22, 1990, the late John Bell held at CERN (European Laboratory for Particle Physics), Geneva a seminar organized by the Center of Quantum Philosophy, that at this time was an association of scientists interested in the interpretation of quantum mechanics. In this seminar Bell presented once again his famous theorem. Thereafter a discussion took place in which not only physical but also highly speculative epistemological and philosophi...

$176.58

by Lung-An Ying (Author), Pingwen Zhang (Author)This book aims to provide a comprehensive study of the mathematical theory of the vortex method, from its origins in the 1930s, through the developments of the '70s when the use of computers made advanced research possible, to current work on this subject in China and elsewhere. The five chapters treat vortex methods for the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations; mathematical theory for incompressible flows; convergence of vortex methods for the Eu...

Multi-Dimensional Modal Logic - Hardcover

$178.18

by Maarten Marx (Author), Yde Venema (Author)Modal Logic is a branch of logic with applications in many related disciplines such as computer science, philosophy, linguistics and artificial intelligence. Over the last twenty years, in all of these neighbouring fields, modal systems have been developed that we call multi-dimensional. (Our definition of multi-dimensionality in modal logic is a technical one: we call a modal formalism multi-dimensional if, in its intended semantics, the universe ...

Quaternions and Cayley Numbers: Algebra and Applications - Hardcover

$89.08

by J. P. Ward (Author)In essence, this text is written as a challenge to others, to discover significant uses for Cayley number algebra in physics. I freely admit that though the reading of some sections would benefit from previous experience of certain topics in physics - particularly relativity and electromagnetism - generally the mathematics is not sophisticated. In fact, the mathematically sophisticated reader, may well find that in many places, the rather deliberate progress too slow for...

Optimal Control of Random Sequences in Problems with Constraints - Hardcover

$178.18

by A. B. Piunovskiy (Author)Controlled stochastic processes with discrete time form a very interest- ing and meaningful field of research which attracts widespread attention. At the same time these processes are used for solving of many applied problems in the queueing theory, in mathematical economics. in the theory of controlled technical systems, etc. . In this connection, methods of the theory of controlled processes constitute the every day instrument of many specialists working in the a...

The Theory of Cubature Formulas - Hardcover

$178.18

by S. L. Sobolev (Author), Vladimir L. Vaskevich (Author)This volume considers various methods for constructing cubature and quadrature formulas of arbitrary degree. These formulas are intended to approximate the calculation of multiple and conventional integrals over a bounded domain of integration. The latter is assumed to have a piecewise-smooth boundary and to be arbitrary in other aspects. Particular emphasis is placed on invariant cubature formulas and those for a cube, a simplex, and o...

Recent Progress in Inequalities - Hardcover

$178.18

by G. V. Milovanovic (Editor)This volume is dedieated to Professor Dragoslav S. Mitrinovic (1908-1995), one of the most accomplished masters in the domain of inequalities. Inequalities are everywhere and play an important and significant role in almost all subjects of mathematies including other areas of sciences. Professor Mitrinovic often used to say: "There are no equalities, even in the human life, the inequalities are always met". Inequalities present a very active and attractive field o...

Exercises in Basic Ring Theory - Hardcover

$89.08

by Grigore Calugareanu (Author), P. Hamburg (Author)Each undergraduate course of algebra begins with basic notions and results concerning groups, rings, modules and linear algebra. That is, it begins with simple notions and simple results. Our intention was to provide a collection of exercises which cover only the easy part of ring theory, what we have named the "Basics of Ring Theory". This seems to be the part each student or beginner in ring theory (or even algebra) should know - but surel...

$89.08

by Kunio Murasugi (Author), B. Kurpita (Author)In Chapter 6, we describe the concept of braid equivalence from the topological point of view. This will lead us to a new concept braid homotopy that is discussed fully in the next chapter. As just mentioned, in Chapter 7, we shall discuss the difference between braid equivalence and braid homotopy. Also in this chapter, we define a homotopy braid invariant that turns out to be the so-called Milnor number. Chapter 8 is a quick review of knot theo...

Algebraic Foundations of Many-Valued Reasoning - Hardcover

$178.18

by R. L. Cignoli (Author), Itala M. D'Ottaviano (Author), Daniele Mundici (Author)The aim of this book is to give self-contained proofs of all basic results concerning the infinite-valued proposition al calculus of Lukasiewicz and its algebras, Chang's MV -algebras. This book is for self-study: with the possible exception of Chapter 9 on advanced topics, the only prere- quisite for the reader is some acquaintance with classical propositional logic, and elementary algebra and topology. In this...

Graph Theory for Programmers: Algorithms for Processing Trees - Hardcover

$178.18

by Victor N. Kasyanov (Author), Vladimir A. Evstigneev (Author)In delivering lectures and writing books, we were most often forced to pay absolutely no attention to a great body of interesting results and useful algorithms appearing in numerous sources and occasionally encountered. It was absolutely that most of these re- sults would finally be forgotten because it is impossible to run through the entire variety of sources where these materials could be published. Therefore, we decided to do ...

Econometric Modelling of Stock Market Intraday Activity - Hardcover

$178.18

by Luc Bauwens (Author), Pierre Giot (Author)Over the past 25 years, applied econometrics has undergone tremen- dous changes, with active developments in fields of research such as time series, labor econometrics, financial econometrics and simulation based methods. Time series analysis has been an active field of research since the seminal work by Box and Jenkins (1976), who introduced a gen- eral framework in which time series can be analyzed. In the world of financial econometrics and the ...

$41.04

by H. Paul Santmire (Author)The Travail of Nature shows that the theological tradition in the West is neither ecologically bankrupt, as some of its popular and scholarly critics have maintained, nor replete with immediately accessible, albeit long-forgotten, ecological riches hidden everywhere in its deeper vaults, as some contemporary Christians, who are profoundly troubled by the environmental crisis and other related concerns, might wistfully hope to find. This is why it is appropriate to ...

$34.51

by Christiane L. Joost-Gaugier (Author)Surviving fragments of information about Pythagoras (born ca. 570 BCE) gave rise to a growing set of legends about this famous sage and his followers, whose reputations throughout Antiquity and the Middle Ages have never before been studied systematically. This book is the first to examine the unified concepts of harmony, proportion, form, and order that were attributed to Pythagoras in the millennium after his death and the important developments to whi...

Giordano Bruno and Renaissance Science: Broken Lives and Organizational Power - Paperback

$75.51

by Hilary Gatti (Author)The Renaissance philosopher Giordano Bruno was a notable supporter of the new science that arose during his lifetime; his role in its development has been debated ever since the early seventeenth century. Hilary Gatti here reevaluates Bruno's contribution to the scientific revolution, in the process challenging the view that now dominates Bruno criticism among English-language scholars. This argument, associated with the work of Frances Yates, holds that early modern s...
