Griddlers Logic Puzzles: Kakuro - Paperback

$16.20

by Griddlers Team (Author)Kakuro is played on a grid of filled and barred cells, "black" and "white" respectively. Apart from the top row and leftmost column which are entirely black, the grid is divided into "entries" - lines of white cells - by the black cells. The black cells contain a diagonal slash from upper-left to lower- right and a number in one or both halves. These numbers are called "clues".This book contains 228 Kakuro puzzles from small and easy up to large 17x17 puzzles.Author ...

Nonstandard Methods in Functional Analysis: Lectures and Notes - Hardcover

$165.24

by Siu-Ah Ng (Author)Front JacketIn the early 1960s, by using techniques from the model theory of first-order logic, Robinson gave a rigorous formulation and extension of Leibniz' infinitesimal calculus. Since then, the methodology has found applications in a wide spectrum of areas in mathematics, with particular success in the probability theory and functional analysis. In the latter, fruitful results were produced with Luxemburg's invention of the nonstandard hull construction. However, the...

$105.30

by Nik Weaver (Author)Ever since Paul Cohen's spectacular use of the forcing concept to prove the independence of the continuum hypothesis from the standard axioms of set theory, forcing has been seen by the general mathematical community as a subject of great intrinsic interest but one that is technically so forbidding that it is only accessible to specialists. In the past decade, a series of remarkable solutions to long-standing problems in C*-algebra using set-theoretic methods, many achie...

Differential Geometry for Physicists and Mathematicians: Moving Frames and Differential Forms: From Euclid Past Riemann - Hardcover

$158.76

by Jiming Jiang (Author)Mixed-effects models have found broad applications in various fields. As a result, the interest in learning and using these models is rapidly growing. On the other hand, some of these models, such as the linear mixed models and generalized linear mixed models, are highly parametric, involving distributional assumptions that may not be satisfied in real-life problems. Therefore, it is important, from a practical standpoint, that the methods of inference about these mode...
