World Scientific Publishing Company, 2000 8vo (22.5 cm), XII, 546 pp. Hardcover in dust jacket (minor shelf-wear). "This invaluable book takes the reader from Planck's discovery of the quantum in 1900 to the most recent interpretations and applications of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. The introduction of the quantum idea leads off the prehistory of quantum mechanics, featuring Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Compton, and de Broglie's immortal contributions. Their original discovery papers are featured with explanatory notes and developments in Part 1. The invention of matrix mechanics and quantum mechanics by Heisenberg, Born, Jordan, Dirac, and Schrödinger is presented next, in Part 2. Following that, in Part 3, are the Einstein-Bohr debates on the interpretation of quantum mechanics culminating in Bell's inequality and Aspect's experiment demonstrating the actuality of the long range quantum correlations to which Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen took great exception.

PHI Learning, 2015 8vo (23.5 cm), XII, 396 pp. Laminated wrappers. "Appropriate for undergraduate courses, this third edition has new chapters on Galois Theory and Module Theory, new solved problems and additional exercises in the chapters on group theory, boolean algebra and matrix theory. The text offers a systematic, well-planned, and elegant treatment of the main themes in abstract algebra. It begins with the fundamentals of set theory, basic algebraic structures such as groups and rings, and special classes of rings and domains, and then progresses to extension theory, vector space theory and finally the matrix theory. The boolean algebra by virtue of its relation to abstract algebra also finds a proper place in the development of the text. The students develop an understanding of all the essential results such as the Cayley’s theorem, the Lagrange’s theorem, and the Isomorphism theorem, in a rigorous and precise manner. Sufficient numbers of examples have been worked out in each… Read More

Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics, 2019 4to (25.5 cm), 279 pp. Laminated wrappers. "A compendium of the authors' recently published results, this book discusses sliding mode control of uncertain nonlinear systems, with a particular emphasis on advanced and optimization based algorithms. The authors survey classical sliding mode control theory and introduce four new methods of advanced sliding mode control. They analyze classical theory and advanced algorithms, with numerical results complementing the theoretical treatment. Case studies examine applications of the algorithms to complex robotics and power grid problems. Advanced and Optimization Based Sliding Mode Control: Theory and Applications is the first book to systematize the theory of optimization based higher order sliding mode control and illustrate advanced algorithms and their applications to real problems. It presents systematic treatment of event-triggered and model based event-triggered sliding mode control… Read More

Johns Hopkins University Press, 2008 8vo (22.5 cm), XVIII, 310 pp. Laminated wrappers. "This updated and revised edition of David Joyner's entertaining "hands-on" tour of group theory and abstract algebra brings life, levity, and practicality to the topics through mathematical toys. Joyner uses permutation puzzles such as the Rubik's Cube and its variants, the 15 puzzle, the Rainbow Masterball, Merlin's Machine, the Pyraminx, and the Skewb to explain the basics of introductory algebra and group theory. Subjects covered include the Cayley graphs, symmetries, isomorphisms, wreath products, free groups, and finite fields of group theory, as well as algebraic matrices, combinatorics, and permutations. Featuring strategies for solving the puzzles and computations illustrated using the SAGE open-source computer algebra system, the second edition of Adventures in Group Theory is perfect for mathematics enthusiasts and for use as a supplementary textbook."

American Mathematical Society, 2020 4to (25.5 cm), 504 pp. Laminated wrappers. "This is the second of three volumes that, together, give an exposition of the mathematics of grades 9 12 that is simultaneously mathematically correct and grade-level appropriate. The volumes are consistent with CCSSM (Common Core State Standards for Mathematics) and aim at presenting the mathematics of K 12 as a totally transparent subject. The first part of this volume is devoted to the study of standard algebra topics: quadratic functions, graphs of equations of degree 2 in two variables, polynomials, exponentials and logarithms, complex numbers and the fundamental theorem of algebra, and the binomial theorem. Having translations and the concept of similarity at our disposal enables us to clarify the study of quadratic functions by concentrating on their graphs, the same way the study of linear functions is greatly clarified by knowing that their graphs are lines. We also introduce the concept of formal algebra in… Read More

Morgan & Claypool Publishers, 2016 8vo (23.5 cm), XII, 130 pp. Laminated wrappers. "This book, a revised version of the 2014 ACM Dissertation Award winning dissertation, proposes an architecture for cluster computing systems that can tackle emerging data processing workloads at scale. Whereas early cluster computing systems, like MapReduce, handled batch processing, our architecture also enables streaming and interactive queries, while keeping MapReduce's scalability and fault tolerance. And whereas most deployed systems only support simple one-pass computations (e.g., SQL queries), ours also extends to the multi-pass algorithms required for complex analytics like machine learning. Finally, unlike the specialized systems proposed for some of these workloads, our architecture allows these computations to be combined, enabling rich new applications that intermix, for example, streaming and batch processing." (from the publisher's synopsis)

London: Hugh K. Elliott Ltd, 1966 8vo (21.5 cm), [12, XXVIII, 124 pp. Publisher's cloth. A facsimile reprint of a bibliography of arithmetical books (1847) by a British mathematician and logician Augustus De Morgan (1806 - 1871). A chronologically arranged annotated list of some 500 items is followed by a list of 1580 names of reported authors. "Yet "Arithmetical Books" remains of use to the bibliographer and historian, as De Morgan's successor in the bibliography of arithmetics, David Eugene Smith, was not slow to recognize. It is a minor classic in its own right. And not the least enjoyable part of it are De Morgan's excursions into such topics as Cocker's Arithmetic or the length of the geometric foot, which are excellent examples of his historical ingenuity" (from the Introduction to this edition by A. Rupert Hall).

North Holland, 1991 8vo (22.5 cm), XIV, 271 pp. Laminated wrappers. The book explores the intriguing interplay between two prominent fields in the realm of machine learning and data analysis. This thought-provoking book delves into the historical development and the modern-day synergies between artificial neural networks (ANNs) and statistical pattern recognition (SPR), shedding light on their shared roots and divergent paths. By examining the historical context, readers gain a comprehensive understanding of how ANNs and SPR have evolved independently over time. The book traces their origins, from the early perceptron models and foundational statistical techniques to the emergence of deep learning and advanced probabilistic models. Through this historical lens, it becomes evident that ANNs and SPR have followed distinct trajectories, with ANNs prioritizing flexible, connectionist approaches, and SPR emphasizing probabilistic modeling and statistical inference. However, the book goes beyond mere… Read More

Morgan & Claypool Publishers, 2019 8vo (23.5 cm), XVII, 149 pp. Laminated wrappers. Synopsis: Book IV continues the discussion begun in the first three volumes. Although it is aimed at first-year graduate students, it is also intended to serve as a basic reference for people working in affine differential geometry. It also should be accessible to undergraduates interested in affine differential geometry. We are primarily concerned with the study of affine surfaces which are locally homogeneous. We discuss affine gradient Ricci solitons, affine Killing vector fields, and geodesic completeness. Opozda has classified the affine surface geometries which are locally homogeneous; we follow her classification. Up to isomorphism, there are two simply connected Lie groups of dimension 2. The translation group ℝ² is Abelian and the ???? + ?? group is non-Abelian. The first chapter presents foundational material. The second chapter deals with Type ?? surfaces. These are the left-invariant affine… Read More

Princeton University Press, 2005 8vo (24 cm), XV, [3], 525, [1] pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj somewhat stained). "This book shows how current and recent market prices convey information about the probability distributions that govern future prices. Moving beyond purely theoretical models, Stephen Taylor applies methods supported by empirical research of equity and foreign exchange markets to show how daily and more frequent asset prices, and the prices of option contracts, can be used to construct and assess predictions about future prices, their volatility, and their probability distributions. Stephen Taylor provides a comprehensive introduction to the dynamic behavior of asset prices, relying on finance theory and statistical evidence. He uses stochastic processes to define mathematical models for price dynamics, but with less mathematics than in alternative texts. The key topics covered include random walk tests, trading rules, ARCH models, stochastic volatility models,… Read More

VNTL Publishers, 2010 8vo (22.5 cm), 212 pp. Cloth. The monograph is devoted to investigation of asymptotic properties of positive functions represented by the Laplace-Stiltjes integrals. Important role of such integrals is well-known in mathematical and complex analysis, probability theory, number theory and in other regions of mathematics. Since the Laplace-Stieltjes integrals are direct generalization of the Laplace integral and the Dirichlet series with nonnegative coefficients and exponents, the investigation of the asymptotic properties of the Laplace-Stieltjes integrals is necessary and actual. The book is intended for graduate mathematical students, post-graduates and experts in the mathematical analysis and its applications. The necessary mathematical background for reading the monograph is a university course of calculus. Mathematical Studies: Monograph Series. Volume 15.
