Guide to Information Sources in Mathematics and Statistics

Guide to Information Sources in Mathematics and Statistics

Publisher:Libraries Unlimited | Pages: 368 | 2004-09-30 | ISBN: 1563087014 | PDF | 2 MB

Product Description:

This book is a reference for librarians, mathematicians, and statisticians involved in college and research level mathematics and statistics in the 21st century. We are in a time of transition in scholarly communications in mathematics, practices which have changed little for a hundred years are giving way to new modes of accessing information. Where journals, books, indexes and catalogs were once the physical representation of a good mathematics library, shelves have given way to computers, and users are often accessing information from remote places. Part I is a historical survey of the past 15 years tracking this huge transition in scholarly communications in mathematics. Part II of the book is the bibliography of resources recommended to support the disciplines of mathematics and statistics. These are grouped by type of material. Publication dates range from the 1800's onwards. Hundreds of electronic resources-some online, both dynamic and static, some in fixed media, are listed among the paper resources. Amazingly a majority of listed electronic resources are free.

Algebraic Number Theory

Algebraic Number Theory

Product Description:

This book provides a brisk, thorough treatment of the foundations of algebraic number theory on which it builds to introduce more advanced topics. Throughout, the authors emphasize the systematic development of techniques for the explicit calculation of the basic invariants such as rings of integers, class groups, and units, combining at each stage theory with explicit computations.

ICT and Primary Mathematics

ICT and Primary Mathematics

Publisher: Open University Press | Pages:160 | 2003-01-01 | ISBN: 0335210309 | PDF | 9 MB

Product Description:

Current digital technologies have the potential to enhance primary children's mathematical learning. Calculators and computers can be used as tools in mathematics to perform routine processes or to explore mathematical ideas. Graphic and programmable calculators, and computers with open-ended software can also immerse children in exciting, creative and productive learning environments. The internet allows children to venture into the enormous world of mathematics beyond the classroom.

This book provides teachers with insights into how other teachers and researchers have discovered ways to create powerful learning experiences for children. Each chapter helps the reader to understand why certain teaching approaches with technology are more effective than others, as well as providing many practical ideas for activities and projects for children with various ability levels and learning styles.

The Mathematics of Financial Derivatives: A Student Introduction

The Mathematics of Financial Derivatives
Cambridge University Press 1995-09-29 ISBN: 0521496993 333 pages PDF 9,6 MB

Finance is one of the fastest growing areas in the modern banking and corporate world. This, together with the sophistication of modern financial products, provides a rapidly growing impetus for new mathematical models and modern mathematical methods. Indeed, the area is an expanding source for novel and relevant "real-world" mathematics.In this book, the authors describe the modeling of financial derivative products from an applied mathematician's viewpoint, from modeling to analysis to elementary computation. The authors present a unified approach to modeling derivative products as partial differential equations, using numerical solutions where appropriate. The authors assume some mathematical background, but provide clear explanations for material beyond elementary calculus, probability, and algebra. This volume will become the standard introduction for advanced undergraduate students to this exciting new field.

Financial Derivatives in Theory and Practice

Financial Derivatives in Theory and Practice
John Wiley & Sons 2000-05-12 ISBN: 0471967173 432 pages PDF 14,6 MB

This book brings together in one volume both a complete, rigorous and yet readable account of the mathematics underlying derivative pricing and a guide to applying these ideas to solve real pricing problems. It is aimed at practitioners and researchers who wish to understand the latest finance literature and develop their own pricing models. The authors' combination of strong theoretical knowledge and extensive market experience make this book particularly relevant for those interested in real world applications of mathematical finance.Features:* detailed coverage of interest rate derivatives, from 'vanilla' instruments through to many of the more exotic products currently being traded* overview of popular term structure models along with their relationships to each other (including Heath-Jarrow-Morton, short rate models and the latest market models)* explanation of numeraires as a modelling and pricing tool* pricing models for constant maturity swaps and other convexity products* models and efficient algorithms for path-dependent and Bermudan swaptions* insights into how to go about pricing products beyond those treated in the text* accessible yet rigorous treatment of the stochastic calculus required for option pricing.

Quantitative Methods in Derivatives Pricing: An Introduction to Computational Finance

Quantitative Methods in Derivatives Pricing
Wiley 2002-04-19 ISBN: 0471394475 256 pages PDF 1,5 MB

This book presents a cogent description of the main methodologies used in derivatives pricing. Starting with a summary of the elements of Stochastic Calculus, Quantitative Methods in Derivatives Pricing develops the fundamental tools of financial engineering, such as scenario generation, simulation for European instruments, simulation for American instruments, and finite differences in an intuitive and practical manner, with an abundance of practical examples and case studies. Intended primarily as an introductory graduate textbook in computational finance, this book will also serve as a reference for practitioners seeking basic information on alternative pricing methodologies.Domingo Tavella is President of Octanti Associates, a consulting firm in risk management and financial systems design. He is the founder and chief editor of the Journal of Computational Finance and has pioneered the application of advanced numerical techniques in pricing and risk analysis in the financial and insurance industries. Tavella coauthored Pricing Financial Instruments: The Finite Difference Method. He holds a PhD in aeronautical engineering from Stanford University and an MBA in finance from the University of California at Berkeley.
