This book provides a systematic in-depth analysis of nonparametric regression with random design. It covers almost all known estimates. The emphasis is on distribution-free properties of the estimates.

Since Markov decision processes can be viewed as a special noncompeti tive case of stochastic games, we introduce the new terminology Competi tive Markov Decision Processes that emphasizes the importance of the link between these two topics and of the properties of the underlying Markov processes.

The authors' novel approach to some interesting mathematical concepts - not normally taught in other courses - places them in a historical and philosophical setting.

This is a substantially revised and updated introduction to arithmetic topics, both ancient and modern, that have been at the centre of interest in applications of number theory, particularly in cryptography.

This book offers a historical examination into the varied manifestations of kidney stone disease. Written by a renowned expert in the field, it utilizes historical sources and integrates classic material with new concepts.

Landscape ecology is an integrative and multi-disciplinary science. This title reconciles the geological, botanical, zoological and human perspectives. It is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students of biology, ecology, geography, forestry, agronomy, landscape architecture and planning.

Randomly Stopped Processes U-Statistics and Processes Martingales and Beyond

One of the main features of the world economy since the late 19th century has been the dominance of the American economy. This book offers a survey of the growth of this influence in Europe since the 1880s. It identifies three distinct but cumulative waves of Americanization, via a discussion by historians, sociologists, and political scientists.

This new English edition is supplemented by 80 plates, over half of them in color, taken by the acclaimed photographer Pekka Parviainen, illustrating many of the phenomena - ordinary and exotic - discussed in the book.

In the first edition of this book, we observed that it had been created to fill a need for a usable "self-contained volume on hydrodynamics" (and hydrogeology) that was written specifically for the petroleum industry, but could also serve the earth science community in general.

Arakelov introduced a component at infinity in arithmetic considerations, thus giving rise to global theorems similar to those of the theory of surfaces, but in an arithmetic context over the ring of integers of a number field.

This book presents core material in nonlinear analysis, offering working knowledge of manifolds, dynamical systems, tensors and differential forms. Coverage includes Hamiltonian mechanics, fluid mechanics, electromagnetism, plasma dynamics and control theory.

Covers various basic topics in calculus of several variables, including vectors, curves, functions of several variables, gradient, tangent plane, maxima and minima, potential functions, curve integrals, Green's theorem, multiple integrals, surface integrals, Stokes' theorem, and the inverse mapping theorem and its consequences.

Providing an in-depth look at the practical use of math modeling, it features exercises throughout that are drawn from a variety of bioscientific disciplines - population biology, developmental biology, physiology, epidemiology, and evolution, among others.

"A wonderful display of the use of mathematical probability to derive a large set of results from a small set of assumptions.

This book covers the statistical mechanics approach to computational solution of inverse problems, an innovative area of current research with very promising numerical results.

With this basic understanding, circuit board designers can make trade-off decisions during the design phase to ensure optimum EMC design. Most are general books on EMC and do not focus on printed circuit board is intended to help EMC engineers and design design.

This accessible text presents a unified approach of treating the microstructure and effective properties of heterogeneous media. Part II treats a wide variety of effective properties of heterogeneous materials and how they are linked to the microstructure, accomplished by using rigorous methods.

Prions are an entirely new class of pathogens, and scientists are just beginning to understand them. The author, Philip Yam, is a well-respected and connected journalist who is now an editor at Scientific American.

This modern presentation comprehensively addresses the principal issues in modern instrumentation, but without attempting an encyclopaedic reference. It covers the most important topics in electronics, sensors, measurements and acquisition systems, and will be an indispensable reference for readers in a wide variety of disciplines.

The aim of this book is to make accessible the two important but rare works of Brook Taylor and to describe his role in the history of linear perspective. Taylor's works, Linear Perspective and New Principles on Linear Perspective, are among the most important sources in the history of the theory of perspective.

A guide for evaluating the organizational impacts of computer systems in health care institutions. This book is useful to physicians, nurses, health care administrators, information systems personnel and consultants who are involved in planning, developing, implementing, utilizing and evaluating computer-based health care systems.

This volume deals with controllability and observability properties of nonlinear systems, as well as various ways to obtain input-output representations. The emphasis is on fundamental notions as (controlled) invariant distributions and submanifolds, together with algorithms to compute the required feedbacks.

The positive response to the publication of Blanton's English translations of Euler's "Introduction to Analysis of the Infinite" confirmed the relevance of this 240 year old work and encouraged Blanton to translate Euler's "Foundations of Differential Calculus" as well.

This book is about the relationship between social psychology and the body. Or is it because social psychology is well advised to steer clear of problems that draw us back from the social toward what are seen as the biological and the prehistory of our discipline?

In the first book, since all of analysis is concerned with variable quantities and functions of such variables, I have given full treatment to functions. I have also treated the transformation of functions and functions as the sum of infinite series.

Developed for the professional Master's program in Computational Finance at Carnegie Mellon, the leading financial engineering program in the U.S. Has been tested in the classroom and revised over a period of several yearsExercises conclude every chapter;

The aim of this book is to discuss the fundamental ideas which lie behind the statistical theory of learning and generalization. Omitting proofs and technical details, the author concentrates on discussing the main results of learning theory and their connections to fundamental problems in statistics.

Linear Programming and Its Applications is intended for a first course in linear programming, preferably in the sophomore or junior year of the typical undergraduate curriculum.
