Symbolic Data Analysis and the SODAS Software

Symbolic Data Analysis and the SODAS Software
476 pages | Wiley-Interscience (March 21, 2008) | ISBN: 0470018836 | PDF | 5 Mb

Symbolic data analysis is a relatively new field that provides a range of methods for analyzing complex datasets. Standard statistical methods do not have the power or flexibility to make sense of very large datasets, and symbolic data analysis techniques have been developed in order to extract knowledge from such data. Symbolic data methods differ from that of data mining, for example, because rather than identifying points of interest in the data, symbolic data methods allow the user to build models of the data and make predictions about future events. This book is the result of the work f a pan-European project team led by Edwin Diday following 3 years work sponsored by EUROSTAT. It includes a full explanation of the new SODAS software developed as a result of this project. The software and methods described highlight the crossover between statistics and computer science, with a particular emphasis on data mining.

3D Geometrical Objects v1.4

3D Geometrical Objects v1.4 | 1MB

The software is designed as a simple accessory for teaching math.

The program can represent the following objects in 3D space:

* regular prism (3 to 10 sides)
* general three-sided prism
* special four-sided prism (adjustable inclination of sides)
* regular pyramid (3 to 10 sides)

For each geometrical object, certain parameters can be interactively adjusted, such as: height and length of sides, inclination of sides, number of sides, etc. Each object can be gradually and smoothly opened or closed from its basic net to a geometrical object. Each adjustment of parameters is interactive and seen immediately - animated. Each object can be freely rotated in 3D space at 'all times of the process'. Additionally, each object can be zoomed-in, or zoomed-out, at any scale. 3D animation executes at high speed - in real time, even on slower machines.

Invitation to the Mathematics of Fermat-Wiles (Fermat's Last Theorem)

Yves Hellegouarch, "Invitation to the Mathematics of Fermat-Wiles"
Academic Press | ISBN 0123392519 | Year 2001 | 448 pages | PDF | 12 MB compressed

Book Description
Assuming only modest knowledge of undergraduate level math, Invitation to the Mathematics of Fermat-Wiles presents diverse concepts required to comprehend Wiles' extraordinary proof. Furthermore, it places these concepts in their historical context.

This book can be used in introduction to mathematics theories courses and in special topics courses on Fermat's last theorem. It contains themes suitable for development by students as an introduction to personal research as well as numerous exercises and problems. However, the book will also appeal to the inquiring and mathematically informed reader intrigued by the unraveling of this fascinating puzzle.

Review
"This text provides a sweeping introduction to all those mathematical topics, concepts, methods, techniques, and classical results that are necessary to understand Andrew Wiles's theory culminating in the first complete proof of Fermat's last theorem. The text is accessible, without compromising the rigor of its mathematical exposition, to reasoned undergraduate students, at least so for the most part it can serve as the basis for various teaching courses. It sets the whole discussion in a fascinating, generally educating historical context, thereby travelling - metaphorically speaking - through the centuries of mathematical history. No doubt, it is a true blessing that the English translation of this unique book is now at hand for a much wider public." - Werner Kleinert (Berlin) in Zentralblatt MATH 1036 

Key Features

• Rigorously presents the concepts required to understand Wiles' proof, assuming only modest undergraduate level math
  
• Sets the math in its historical context
  
• Contains several themes that could be further developed by student research and numerous exercises and problems
  
• Written by Yves Hellegouarch, who himself made an important contribution to the proof of Fermat's last theorem

A Beautiful Math: John Nash, Game Theory, And the Modern Quest for a Code of Nature

Tom Siegfried, A Beautiful Math: John Nash, Game Theory, And the Modern Quest for a Code of Nature
Joseph Henry Press | ISBN 0309101921 | 2006 | PDF | 1 MB | 273 pages

John Nash won the 1994 Nobel Prize in economics for pioneering research published in the 1950s on a new branch of mathematics known as game theory. At the time of Nash's early work, game theory was briefly popular among some mathematicians and Cold War analysts. But it remained relatively obscure until the 1970s, when evolutionary biologists began to find it useful. In the 1980s economists began to embrace game theory. Since then game theory math has found an ever expanding repertoire of applications among a wide range of scientific disciplines.

Today neuroscientists peer into game players' brains, anthropologists play games with people from primitive cultures, biologists use games to explain the evolution of human language, and mathematicians exploit games to better understand social networks.

A common thread connecting much of this research is its relevance to the ancient quest for a science of human social behavior, or "a Code of Nature," in the spirit of the fictional science of psychohistory described in the famous Foundation novels by the late Isaac Asimov. In A Beautiful Math, acclaimed science writer Tom Siegfried describes how game theory links the life sciences, social sciences and physical sciences in a way that may bring Asimov's dream closer to reality.

How Math Explains the World: A Guide to the Power of Numbers, from Car Repair to Modern Physics

How Math Explains the World: A Guide to the Power of Numbers, from Car Repair to Modern Physics
Collins | Pages: 288 | 2008-05-01 | ISBN: 0061241768 | 3 MB

In How Math Explains the World, mathematician Stein reveals how seemingly arcane mathematical investigations and discoveries have led to bigger, more world-shaking insights into the nature of our world. In the four main sections of the book, Stein tells the stories of the mathematical thinkers who discerned some of the most fundamental aspects of our universe. From their successes and failures, delusions, and even duels, the trajectories of their innovations—and their impact on society—are traced in this fascinating narrative. Quantum mechanics, space-time, chaos theory and the workings of complex systems, and the impossibility of a "perfect" democracy are all here. Stein's book is both mind-bending and practical, as he explains the best way for a salesman to plan a trip, examines why any thought you could have is imbedded in the number π , and—perhaps most importantly—answers one of the modern world's toughest questions: why the garage can never get your car repaired on time.

Friendly, entertaining, and fun, How Math Explains the World is the first book by one of California's most popular math teachers, a veteran of both "math for poets" and Princeton's Institute for Advanced Studies. And it's perfect for any reader wanting to know how math makes both science and the world tick.

Financial Modelling with Jump Processes

Financial Modelling with Jump Processes
Chapman & Hall/CRC 2003-12-30 ISBN: 1584884134 552 pages DjVu 4,8 MB

Winner of a Riskbook.com Best of 2004 Book Award! During the last decade, financial models based on jump processes have acquired increasing popularity in risk management and option pricing. Much has been published on the subject, but the technical nature of most papers makes them difficult for nonspecialists to understand, and the mathematical tools required for applications can be intimidating. Potential users often get the impression that jump and Lévy processes are beyond their reach. Financial Modelling with Jump Processes shows that this is not so.It provides a self-contained overview of the theoretical, numerical, and empirical aspects involved in using jump processes in financial modelling, and it does so in terms within the grasp of nonspecialists. The introduction of new mathematical tools is motivated by their use in the modelling process, and precise mathematical statements of results are accompanied by intuitive explanations. Topics covered in this book include: jump-diffusion models, Lévy processes, stochastic calculus for jump processes, pricing and hedging in incomplete markets, implied volatility smiles, time-inhomogeneous jump processes and stochastic volatility models with jumps. The authors illustrate the mathematical concepts with many numerical and empirical examples and provide the details of numerical implementation of pricing and calibration algorithms. This book demonstrates that the concepts and tools necessary for understanding and implementing models with jumps can be more intuitive that those involved in the Black Scholes and diffusion models. If you have even a basic familiarity with quantitative methods in finance, Financial Modelling with Jump Processes will give you a valuable new set of tools for modelling market fluctuations.

Applied Choice Analysis: A Primer

Applied Choice Analysis
Cambridge University Press 2005-08-29 ISBN: 0521844266 742 pages PDF 5,2 MB

In recent years, there has been growing interest in the development and application of quantitative statistical methods to study choices made by individuals. This primer provides an introduction to the main techniques of choice analysis and also includes details on data collection and preparation, model estimation and interpretation and the design of choice experiments. A companion website offers practice data sets and software to apply modeling and data skills presented in the book.This book is massive, and hence the term "primer" may be a little misleading. But if you really want to understand how to model choice data for a range of models, the book is outstanding. Other books focus more on the econometrics of the models, which are pivotal to know. But this book builds upon that by walking you through a series of increasingly-complex models, allowing you to understand why you need to perform particular modeling tasks. Enjoy this great book!

Theory of Periodic Conjugate Heat Transfer

Yuri B. Zudin “Theory of Periodic Conjugate Heat Transfer" Springer 2007-11-09 ISBN: 3540707239 162 pages PDF 1,6 MB A new calculation method is presented for heat transfer in coupled convective-conductive fluid-wall systems under periodical intensity oscillations in fluid flow. It is demonstrated that the true steady-state mean value of the heat transfer coefficient has to be multiplied by a newly defined coupling factor. This correction factor is always smaller than one and depends on the coupling parameters Biot number, Fourier number as well as dimensionless geometry and oscillation parameters. For characteristic periodic heat transfer problems, analytical solutions are given for the coupling factor. To facilitate engineering application, the monograph also presents the analytical results in accompanying tables and diagrams.

Fractals and Hyperspaces

Keith R. Wicks “Fractals and Hyperspaces" Springer 1993-02-12 ISBN: 354054965X 168 pages PDF 8,2 MB Addressed to all readers with an interest in fractals, hyperspaces, fixed-point theory, tilings and nonstandard analysis, this book presents its subject in an original and accessible way complete with many figures. The first part of the book develops certain hyperspace theory concerning the Hausdorff metric and the Vietoris topology, as a foundation for what follows on self-similarity and fractality. A major feature is that nonstandard analysis is used to obtain new proofs of some known results much more slickly than before. The theory of J.E. Hutchinson's invariant sets (sets composed of smaller images of themselves) is developed, with a study of when such a set is tiled by its images and a classification of many invariant sets as either regular or residual. The last and most original part of the book introduces the notion of a "view" as part of a framework for studying the structure of sets within a given space. This leads to new, elegant concepts (defined purely topologically) of self-similarity and fractality: in particular, the author shows that many invariant sets are "visually fractal", i.e. have infinite detail in a certain sense. These ideas have considerable scope for further development, and a list of problems and lines of research is included.

Algebra

T. T.

The aim of this book is not only to give the students quick access to the basic knowledge of algebra, either for future advancement in the field of algebra, or for general background information, but also to show that algebra is truly a master key or a "skeleton key" to many mathematical problems. As one knows, the teeth of an ordinary key prevent it from opening all but one door; whereas the skeleton key keeps only the essential parts, allow it to unlock many doors. The author wishes to present this book as an attempt to re-establish the contacts between algebra and other branches of mathematics and sciences. Many examples and exercises are included to illustrate the power of intuitive approaches to algebra..

Probabilistic Symmetries and Invariance Principles

Olav Kallenberg “Probabilistic Symmetries and Invariance Principles "
Springer 2005-07-27 ISBN:0387251154 510 pages PDF 3,5 Mb

This is the first comprehensive treatment of the three basic symmetries of probability theory - contractability, exchangeability, and rotatability - defined as invariance in distribution under contractions, permutations, and rotations. Originating with the pioneering work of de Finetti from the 1930's, the theory has evolved into a unique body of deep, beautiful, and often surprising results, comprising the basic representations and invariance properties in one and several dimensions, and exhibiting some unexpected links between the various symmetries as well as to many other areas of modern probability. Most chapters require only some basic, graduate level probability theory, and should be accessible to any serious researchers and graduate students in probability and statistics. Parts of the book may also be of interest to pure and applied mathematicians in other areas. The exposition is formally self-contained, with detailed references provided for any deeper facts from real analysis or probability used in the book.

Dynamics in One Complex Variable

John Milnor “Dynamics in One Complex Variable" Friedrick Vieweg & Son 2000-08 ISBN:3528031301 PDF 146 pages 1,7 Mb

Reader's review:

This is a wonderful book by a master of the subject. It is packed with penetrating insights, illuminating some of the deepest results on dynamics. Its great strength is the bird's-eye view it gives. It is a great place to start the study of complex dynamics. It is not self-contained, so to get the detail on essential ingredients such as uniformization and solving the Beltrami equation one has to go elsewhere. I recommend students to read it alongside Carleson and Gamelin, who take pains to supply full details.

Qechar“Aspects of Mathematical Finance " Springer 2008-03 ISBN:3540752587 PDF 80 pages 1,1 Mb Considering the stupendous gain in importance, in the banking and insurance industries since the early 1990s, of mathematical methodology, especially probabilistic methodology, it was a very natural idea for the French "Académie des Sciences" to propose a series of public lectures, accessible to an educated audience, to promote a wider understanding for some of the fundamental ideas, techniques and new tools of the financial industries.These lectures were given at the "Académie des Sciences" in Paris by internationally renowned experts in mathematical finance, and later written up for this volume which develops, in simple yet rigorous terms, some challenging topics such as risk measures, the notion of arbitrage, dynamic models involving fundamental stochastic processes like Brownian motion and Lévy processes.The Ariadnes thread leads the reader from Louis Bacheliers thesis 1900 to the famous Black-Scholes formula of 1973 and to most recent work close to Malliavins stochastic calculus of variations. The book also features a description of the trainings of French financial analysts which will help them to become experts in these fast evolving mathematical techniques.

Fixed Points

V. V. Prasolov “Fixed Points " American Mathematical Society 1991-11 ISBN: 082189000X Djvu 75 pages 1,2 Mb The theory of fixed points finds its roots in the work of Poincaré, Brouwer, and Sperner and makes extensive use of such topological notions as continuity, compactness, homotopy, and the degree of a mapping. Fixed point theorems have numerous applications in mathematics; most of the theorems ensuring the existence of solutions for differential, integral, operator, or other equations can be reduced to fixed point theorems. In addition, these theorems are used in such areas as mathematical economics and game theory. This book presents a readable exposition of fixed point theory. The author focuses on the problem of whether a closed interval, square, disk, or sphere has the fixed point property. Another aim of the book is to show how fixed point theory uses combinatorial ideas related to decomposition (triangulation) of figures into distinct parts called faces (simplexes), which adjoin each other in a regular fashion. All necessary background concepts---such as continuity, compactness, degree of a map, and so on---are explained, making the book accessible even to students at the high school level. In addition, the book contains exercises and descriptions of applications. Readers will appreciate this book for its lucid presentation of this fundamental mathematical topic.

John Vince (author of numerous books including Geometry for Computer Graphics and Vector Analysis for Computer Graphics) has tackled this complex subject in his usual inimitable style, and provided an accessible and very readable introduction. As well as putting geometric algebra into its historical context, John tackles complex numbers and quaternions; the nature of wedge product and geometric product; reflections and rotations (showing how geometric algebra can offer a powerful way of describing orientations of objects and virtual cameras); and how to implement lines, planes, volumes and intersections. Introductory chapters also look at algebraic axioms, vector algebra and geometric conventions and the book closes with a chapter on how the algebra is applied to computer graphics.
