``This is one of the best statistical texts I have ever read, and I would highly recommend using it for an advanced data analysis course. The examples and the step-by-step methods using SPSS are superb and statistically accurate.... The listings for how to interpret the coefficients will really help graduate students make sense of their results. This is an obstacle that many of my graduate stu....     View More Details

Conventional wisdom of the ``software stack`` approach to building applications may no longer be relevant. Enterprises are pursuing new ways of organizing systems and processes to become service oriented and event-driven. Leveraging existing infrastructural investments is a critical aspect to the success of companies both large and small. Enterprises have to adapt their systems to support freq....     View More Details

The book provides a critical discussion of fuzzy controllers from the perspective of classical control theory. Special emphases are placed on topics that are of importance for industrial applications, like (self) tuning of fuzzy controllers, optimization and stability analysis. The book is written as a textbook for graduate students as well as a comprehensive reference book about fuzzy control....     View More Details

Markov chains are a particularly powerful and widely used tool for analyzing a variety of stochastic (probabilistic) systems over time. This monograph will present a series of Markov models, starting from the basic models and then building up to higher-order models. Included in the higher-order discussions are multivariate models, higher-order multivariate models, and higher-order hidden model....     View More Details

Time Series Analysis and Its Applications, Second Edition, presents a balanced and comprehensive treatment of both time and frequency domain methods with accompanying theory. Numerous examples using non-trivial data illustrate solutions to problems such as evaluating pain perception experiments using magnetic resonance imaging, monitoring a nuclear test ban treaty, evaluating the volatility of....     View More Details

After the book starts with a general background in matrix, determinant and vector calculus, some very important aspects in mathematics such as Dirac Delta Function, Analyticity, Orthogonality, Singularity, etc., are described that are not covered separately in most of the books, which are definitely considered very useful in mathematical physics, along with `complex functions and series analys....     View More Details

In the last few years there has been significant progress in the development of microfluidics and nanofluidics at the application as well as at the fundamental and simulation levels. This book provides a comprehensive summary of these changes describing fluid flow in micro and nano configurations. Whereas in their previous book entitled Microflows: Fundamentals and Simulation the authors cover....     View More Details

From the reviews of previous editions:

``..An excellent reference on undergraduate mathematical computing.``

American Mathematical Monthly

The fourth edition retains all chapters of third edition and chapter 4: Ordered Sets and Lattices and chapter 10: Combinatorics as well as several sections on Set Theory, Boolean Algebra, Geometric Linear Transformation and Linear Equation are added.

We have tried to emphasize that concept and terminology should be introduced before they are used. So it is useful in computer science, el....     View More Details

The purpose of this book is to draw the attention of students and teachers of mathematics to the historical continuity of Indian Mathematics, starting from the Śulba Sūtras of the Vedas up to the 17th century. The book includes proofs, not presented so far, of the propositions stated in the well-known treatise Vedic Mathematics by Sri Bharati Krishna Thirtha. It also introduce....     View More Details
