Advanced Calculus: A Geometric View - Hardcover

$137.63

by James J. Callahan (Author)With a fresh geometric approach that incorporates more than 250 illustrations, this textbook sets itself apart from all others in advanced calculus.

Geometric Design of Linkages - Hardcover

$178.18

by J. Michael McCarthy (Author), Gim Song Soh (Author)This book is an introduction to the mathematical theory of design for articulated mechanical systems known as linkages. The focus is on sizing mechanical constraints that guide the movement of a work piece, or end-effector, of the system. The function of the device is prescribed as a set of positions to be reachable by the end-effector; and the mechanical constraints are formed by joints that limit relative movement. The goal is to find al...

$129.58

by Kehe Zhu (Author)Several natural Lp spaces of analytic functions have been widely studied in the past few decades, including Hardy spaces, Bergman spaces, and Fock spaces. The terms "Hardy spaces" and "Bergman spaces" are by now standard and well established. But the term "Fock spaces" is a different story.Numerous excellent books now exist on the subject of Hardy spaces. Several books about Bergman spaces, including some of the author's, have also appeared in the past few decades. But the...

Fisher, Neyman, and the Creation of Classical Statistics - Paperback

$53.98

by Erich L. Lehmann (Author)Classical statistical theory-hypothesis testing, estimation, and the design of experiments and sample surveys-is mainly the creation of two men: Ronald A. Fisher (1890-1962) and Jerzy Neyman (1894-1981). Their contributions sometimes complemented each other, sometimes occurred in parallel, and, particularly at later stages, often were in strong opposition. The two men would not be pleased to see their names linked in this way, since throughout most of their working...

Elgenfunction Expansions Associated with Second Order Differential Equations - Hardcover

$63.34

by E. C. Titchmarsh (Author)The idea of expanding an arbitrary function in terms of the solutions of a second-order differential equation goes back to the time of Sturm and Liouville, more than a hundred years ago. The first satisfactory proofs were constructed by various authors early in the twentieth century. Later, a general theory of the singular cases was given by Weyl, who-based i on the theory of integral equations. An alternative method, proceeding via the general theory of linear ope...

Foundations of Modern Analysis - Hardcover

$70.54

by J. Dieudonne (Author)In this text, the whole structure of analysis is built up from the foundations. The only things assumed at the outset are the rules of logic and the usual properties of the natural numbers, and with these two exceptions all the proofs in the text rest on the axioms and theorems proved earlier. Nevertheless this treatise (including the first volume) is not suitable for students who have not yet covered the first two years of an undergraduate honours course in mathematic...
