ISBN: 1-58488-458-4
Publication Date: 7/15/2004
Number of Pages: 300
Presents information based on the authors'
teaching experience
Brings theory of semiflows to beginning graduate
students not
ready for more in-depth treatments
Capitalizes on the interest in the subject
over the last two
decades
Semiflows are a class of Dynamical Systems,
meaning that they
help to describe how one state develops into
another state over
the course of time, a very useful concept
in Mathematical Physics
and Analytical Engineering. The authors concentrate
on surveying
existing research in continuous semi-dynamical
systems, in which
a smooth action of a real number on another
object occurs from
time zero, and the book proceeds from a grounding
in ODEs through
Attractors to Inertial Manifolds. The book
demonstrates how the
basic theory of dynamical systems can be
naturally extended and
applied to study the asymptotic behavior
of solutions of
differential evolution equations.

" Offers an introductory review of historic
research in the
field
" Presents a clear treatment of perturbation
and asymptotic
methods
" Includes new methods not included
in other texts
Understanding the causes and effects of explosions
is important
to experts in a broad range of disciplines,
including the
military, industrial and environmental research,
aeronautic
engineering, and applied mathematics. While
offering an
introductory review of historic research,
Shock Waves &
Explosions brings analytic and computational
methods to a wide
audience in a clear and thorough way. Beginning
with an overview
of the research on combustion and gas dynamics
by Korobeinikov
and Zeldovich in the 1970s and 80s, the author
brings readers up
to date by covering modeling techniques and
asymptotic and
perturbative methods and ending with a chapter
on computational
methods.

Provides the first truly introductory book
on statistics using R,
suitable for students from a wide range of
scientific disciplines
References the latest version of R throughout
Features a chapter on using R through a graphical
user interface
Comes complete with an resource containing
datasets, R functions,
and updates to the latest features
R is a free software package that has seen
a huge increase in
users within the last five years and now
is used increasingly in
introductory classes. There are few books
covering introductory
statistics using R, and this book fills a
gap as a true "beginner"
book. With emphasis on data analysis and
practical examples Using
R for Introductory Statistics encourages
understanding rather
than focusing on learning the underlying
language. It includes a
large collection of problem sets with solutions
and numerous
practical examples from a broad range of
scientific disciplines.
It comes complete with an online resource
containing datasets, R
functions, and updates to the latest features.

Summarizes the recent important developments
in stereological
data analysis
Emphasizes sampling and design issues for
statisticians dealing
with stereological data
Keeps mathematical formalities to a minimum
to appeal to a wide
audience
Addresses a real need for a practical, applications-orientated
approach
Stereology is a series of mathematical methods
developed for 3D
image analysis, which is often called "sampling
in 3
dimensions." Stereological methods are
used widely
throughout the sciences, particularly in
the biological, medical
and materials sciences. Currently there is
no satisfactory
resource on stereology for statisticians
that deals with the
techniques in a practical, applications-oriented
way. Written by
the pre-eminent statisticians working in
the field, and intended
for consultant statisticians, biometricians
and quantitative
scientists who may encounter stereological
data in their work,
Stereology for Statisticians fills this gap.

" Covers both enumerative and extremal
combinatorics
" Presents complete and comprehensive
information on pattern
avoidance
" Includes applications from fields
such as statistics,
computer science, and molecular biology
" Demonstrates several applications
of the probabilistic
method to permutations
" Studies permutations both as linear
orders and as elements
of the symmetric group
The first book to be published on the subject,
Combinatorics of
Permutations offers a comprehensive, up to
date treatment of both
enumerative and extremal combinatorics. Filled
with applications
from a variety of fields and exercises that
draw upon recent
research results, this book is ideal as graduate-level
text and
as a reference for researchers in combinatorics.

Includes many realistic applications beyond
the usual model
problems
Discusses error estimates throughout the
book
Presents eigenfunction expansion as rigorous
approximation
methods and computational tools
Includes numerous exercises
Separation of Variables for Partial Differential
Equations: An
Eigenfunction Approach includes many realistic
applications
beyond the usual model problems. The book
concentrates on the
method of separation of variables for partial
differential
equations, which remains an integral part
of the training in
applied mathematics. Beyond the usual model
problems, the
presentation includes a number of realistic
applications that
illustrate the power and usefulness of the
ideas behind these
techniques. This complete, self-contained
book includes numerous
exercises and error estimates, as well as
a rigorous
approximation and computational tool.

statisticians and industry professionals
Includes 150 images, including many colour
images
Image analysis is one of the fastest growing
areas in applied
statistics. Featuring applications in medicine,
biology,
genetics, materials science, and engineering,
Applied Image
Analysis bridges the gap between introductory
texts and overly

the most
appropriate techniques for carrying out applied
quantitative
image analysis, including two-D black and
white, color, and
multispectral imaging. The book features
