Table of Integrals, Series, and Products
Seventh Edition

- Fully searchable CD that puts information at your
fingertips included with text
- Most up to date listing of integrals, series and
products

Description

The Table of Integrals, Series, and Products is the essential reference for integrals in the English language. Mathematicians, scientists, and engineers, rely on it when identifying and subsequently solving extremely complex problems. Since publication of the first English-language edition in 1965, it has been thoroughly revised and enlarged on a regular basis, with substantial additions and, where necessary, existing entries corrected or revised. The seventh edition includes a fully searchable CD-Rom.

About this book

The theory of functional identities is a relatively new one - the first papers were published at the beginning of the 1990s, and this is the first book on this subject. A functional identity can be informally described as an identical relation involving arbitrary elements in an associative ring together with arbitrary (unknown) functions. The goal of the general theory is to describe these functions, or, when this is not possible, to describe the structure of the ring admitting the functional identity in question. This abstract theory has turned out to be a powerful tool for solving a variety of problems in ring theory, Lie algebras, Jordan algebras, linear algebra, and operator theory.

Algorithms on Strings

Hardback (ISBN-13: 9780521848992)

The book is intended for lectures on string processes and pattern matching in Master's courses of computer science and software engineering curricula. The details of algorithms are given with correctness proofs and complexity analysis, which make them ready to implement. Algorithms are described in a C-like language. The book is also a reference for students in computational linguistics or computational biology. It presents examples of questions related to the automatic processing of natural language, to the analysis of molecular sequences, and to the management of textual databases.

* Few books on the topic, some of which are research monographs or conference proceedings, not suitable for teaching
* Well adapted to Masters courses on algorithms or text processing
* Many concepts and examples explained in 135 figures

Contents

1. Tools; 2. Pattern matching automata; 3. String searching with a sliding window; 4. Suffix arrays; 5. Structures for indexes; 6. Indexes; 7. Alignments; 8. Approximate patterns; 9. Local periods.

Geometric Folding Algorithms
Linkages, Origami, Polyhedra

Hardback (ISBN-13: 9780521857574)

Folding and unfolding problems have been implicit since Albrecht Durer in the early 1500s, but have only recently been studied in the mathematical literature. Over the past decade, there has been a surge of interest in these problems, with applications ranging from robotics to protein folding. With an emphasis on algorithmic or computational aspects, this comprehensive treatment of the geometry of folding and unfolding presents hundreds of results and over 60 unsolved 'open problems' to spur further research. The authors cover one-dimensional objects (linkages), 2D objects (paper), and 3D objects (polyhedra). Aimed primarily at advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics or computer science, this lavishly illustrated book will fascinate a broad audience, from high school students to researchers.

* Fascinating, tangible, accessible cutting-edge research with applications throughout science and engineering
* Full color throughout ? Erik Demaine won a MacArthur fellowship in 2003 for his work on the mathematics of origami

Kolmogorov's Heritage in Mathematics

About this book

A.N. Kolmogorov (Tambov 1903, Moscow 1987) was one of the most brilliant mathematicians that the world has ever known. Incredibly deep and creative, he was able to approach each subject with a completely new point of view: in a few magnificent pages, which are models of shrewdness and imagination, and which astounded his contemporaries, he changed drastically the landscape of the subject.

Most mathematicians prove what they can, Kolmogorov was of those who prove what they want. In this book several world experts present (one part of) the mathematical heritage left to us by Kolmogorov.

Each chapter treats one of Kolmogorov's research themes, or a subject that was invented as a consequence of his discoveries. The authors present here his contributions, his methods, the perspectives he opened to us, the way in which this research has evolved up to now, along with examples of recent applications and a presentation of the modern prospects.

This book can be read by anyone with a master's (or even a bachelor's) degree in mathematics, computer science or physics, or more generally by anyone who likes mathematical ideas. Rather than presenting detailed proofs, the main ideas are described, and a bibliography for those who wish to understand the technical details. One can see that sometimes very simple reasoning (with the right interpretation and tools) can lead in a few lines to very substantial results.
