Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -General textbooks, attempting to cover three thousand or so years of mathematical history, must necessarily oversimplify almost everything, which can scarcely promote a critical approach to the subject. History of Mathematics offers deeper coverage of key select topics, providing students with material that could encourage more critical thinking. It also includes proofs of important results typically neglected in the modern history of mathematics curriculum.Coverage includes:A new approach to the historical development of the natural numbers, which was only settled in the 19th centuryConstruction problems of antiquity, with a proof that the angle cannot be trisected nor the cube duplicated by ruler and compass aloneA modern recounting of a Chinese word problem from the 13th century, illustrating the need for consulting multiple sourcesLighter material, including historically interesting (and hard to find) poems and humorous song lyrics with mathematical themes.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 276 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -This two-volume book is a modern introduction to the theory of numbers, emphasizing its connections with other branches of mathematics. It attempts to provide such an understanding of the nature and extent of mathematics. The book covers standard topics in number theory, but also places the whole subject into its historical context. It contains a treasury of proofs, several of which are gems seldom seen in number theory books. Part A is accessible to a first-year undergraduate and deals with elementary number theory. Part B is more advanced and gives the reader an idea of the scope of mathematics today. The connecting theme is the theory of numbers. By exploring its many connections with other branches a broad picture is obtained. This book will appeal to undergraduate students in mathematics and engineering.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 372 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Evolutionary Computation for Optimization and Modeling is an introduction to evolutionary computation, selectionist algorithms that operate on populations of structures. It includes over 100 experiments and over 700 homework problems that introduce the topic with an application-oriented approach. Engineering, computer science, and applied math students will find the book a useful guide to using evolutionary algorithms as a problem solving tool. No previous familliarity with evolutionary computation is assumed. The topics include the design of simple evolutionary algorithms, applications to several types of optimization, evolutionary robotics, simple evolutionary neural computation, and several types of automatic programming including genetic programming. The book gives applications to biology and bioinformatics and introduces a number of tools that can be used in biological modeling, including evolutionary game theory. The problem oriented approach of the book makes it a good text for engineering of computer science application classes.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 592 pp. Englisch.

The exposition unfolds systematically from an introductory chapter to such topics as random variables and vectors, stochastic processes, estimation, testing and regression. The topics are well chosen and the presentation is enriched by many examples from real life. Following every chapter, the reader will find many original, solved and unsolved problems and hundreds of multiple choice questions, enabling those unfamiliar with the topics to master them. Additionally appealing are the interesting historical notes on the mathematicians mentioned throughout and a useful bibliography. A distinguishing character of the book is its thorough and succinct handling of the varied topics.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 376 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Linear programming attracted the interest of mathematicians during and after World War II when the first computers were constructed and methods for solving large linear programming problems were sought in connection with specific practical problems¿for example, providing logistical support for the U.S. Armed Forces or modeling national economies. Early attempts to apply linear programming methods to solve practical problems failed to satisfy expectations. There were various reasons for the failure. One of them, which is the central topic of this book, was the inexactness of the data used to create the models. This phenomenon, inherent in most pratical problems, has been dealt with in several ways. At first, linear programming models used 'average' values of inherently vague coefficients, but the optimal solutions of these models were not always optimal for the original problem itself. Later researchers developed the stochastic linear programming approach, but this too has its limitations. Recently, interest has been given to linear programming problems with data given as intervals, convex sets and/or fuzzy sets. The individual results of these studies have been promising, but the literature has not presented a unified theory. Linear Optimization Problems with Inexact Data attempts to present a comprehensive treatment of linear optimization with inexact data, summarizing existing results and presenting new ones within a unifying framework.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 232 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -This book presents a unified theory of the Finite Element Method and the Boundary Element Method for a numerical solution of second order elliptic boundary value problems. While there are textbooks on the finite element method, this is one of the first books on Theory of Boundary Element Methods. The book includes the solvability, stability, and error analysis as well as efficient methods to solve the resulting linear systems. Applications are the potential equation, the system of linear elastostatics and the Stokes system. The book is suitable for self study and exercises are included.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 400 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -This book is a collection of more than 500 attractive open problems in the field and is more up-to-date than any of the competitive books. It is the result of a 25-year-old project initiated by the late Leo Moser. The largely self-contained chapters provide a broad overview of discrete geometry, along with historical details and the most important partial results related to these problems. This book is intended as a source book for both professional mathematicians and graduate students who love beautiful mathematical questions, are willing to spend sleepless nights thinking about them, and who would like to get involved in mathematical research. The book's authors are leaders in the field of discrete geometry.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 512 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Students of behavioral science, whether residents in psychiatry, graduate students in psychology or clinical social work, or third- and fourth-year medical students preparing for the USMLE Step 1 and 2 examinations, need to understand patients¿ behavior, how to communicate effectively, and how to recognize and deal with psychiatric disorders. Problem-based learning involves the detailed, systematic study of real and fictitious patient cases. Although more than sixty medical schools incorporate problem-based learning in their curricula, there are no current textbooks to support and guide this aspect of courses in behavioral sciences, behavioral medicine, or psychiatry.This book presents simulated patient cases in psychiatry and behavioral science, providing a real-world context for students and graduates in these areas. It introduces the topics described below through detailed case vignettes using a model of problem-based learning called progressive disclosure. Sample diagrams known as mechanistic case diagrams illustrate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying behavioral symptoms and show how behavioral and psychosocial factors impact on patient care.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 480 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Though cholera is an ancient disease, its perennial occurrence in several parts of the world has attracted many researches to find ways and means to combat the disease. The prevailing seventh pandemic cholera is dominating since 1961, but the dimension of the disease has taken several silhouettes, as the genetic structure and functions of the Vibrio cholerae has changed to a great extent. Several recent studies have shown that transformation of the pathogen at the molecular level has ameliorated several cholera outbreaks and epidemics of with successive new clones of V. cholerae. This comprehensive compilation, written by eminent international researchers reviews the epidemiology of cholera in Africa, Asia, Russia and Latin Americas. The other chapters contributed by acclaimed authors cover various aspects on evolution, polysaccaharide biosynthesis, SXT element, integrons, small molecule signalling systems, flagellar synthesis, filamentous phages, pathogenic role of proteases and hemolysin, and other putative virulence factors. In addition, ecology of V. cholerae and management of cholera were also discussed in detail. This book will be good source of information to all researchers with interests in infectious diseases, microbiology and molecular biology.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 384 pp. Englisch.
