This book offers a comprehensive economic theory of marriage. It examines a wide variety of aspects of marriage, including labor supply of women and the effect of marriage on productivity at work. The book presents both theoretical and empirical analysis.

The Atlas of Pediatric Cardiac CTA provides a concise visual guide to the imaging of congenital heart disease in infants and children. The text focuses on the utilization of cardiac CTA imaging for pediatric patients, emphasizing radiation lowering techniques, ASIR, modulation, and more.

An introduction to the variational methods used to formulate and solve mathematical and physical problems, allowing the reader an insight into the systematic use of elementary (partial) convexity of differentiable functions in Euclidian space.

This book examines non-equilibrium "cold" plasmas via a chemical physics approach, using state-to-state plasma kinetics, which views each internal state as a new species with its own cross-sections. Includes examples in microelectronics, fusion, and aerospace.

This book examines the equations at the basis of the calculation of transport properties (thermal conductivity, diffusion coefficients, viscosity and electrical conductivity) of one-temperature and multi-temperature plasmas by using the Chapman-Enskog method.

Organizing the basic material of complex analysis in a unique manner, the authors of this versatile book aim is to present a precise and concise treatment of those parts of complex analysis that should be familiar to every research mathematician.

This book presents a variety of methods used in multidimensional data visualization. It details new research results and trends in the field, including optimization, artificial neural networks, combinations of algorithms, and parallel computing.

This is particularly true of media, such as crystals and liquid crystals, that have a periodic structure. After two chapters dealing with exact and approximate solutions to the scattering problem in periodic media in general, the author discusses: the diffraction of Moessbauer radiation in magnetically ordered crystals;

This book provides a critical review of the questions as well as the data pertaining to the contribution of the right "non-dominant" hemisphere to verbal communication. Three main sources of observation are reviewed: experiments with normal subjects, with split-brain subjects, and with brain-damaged subjects.

This book is in two volumes, and is intended as a text for introductory courses in probability and statistics at the second or third year university level. The likelihood ratio statistic is used to unify the material on testing, and connect it with earlier material on estimation.

The 15 chapters contain the following main topics: free groups and presentations, free products, decompositions, Abelian groups, finite permutation groups, representations of groups, finite and infinite soluble groups, group extensions, generalizations of nilpotent and soluble groups, finiteness properties."

Just 23 years ago Benoit Mandelbrot published his famous picture of the Mandelbrot set, but that picture has changed our view of the mathematical and physical universe. In this text, Mandelbrot offers 25 papers from the past 25 years, many related to the famous inkblot figure.

The fifth and final volume to establish the results claimed by the great Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan in his "Notebooks" first published in 1957. Although each of the five volumes contains many deep results, the average depth in this volume is possibly greater than in the first four.

The resampling methods replace theoreti cal derivations required in applying traditional methods (such as substitu tion and linearization) in statistical analysis by repeatedly resampling the original data and making inferences from the resamples.

New textbooks at all levels of chemistry appear with great regularity. Our goal, in this series, is to pinpoint areas of chemistry where recent progress has outpaced what is covered in any available textbooks, and then seek out and persuade experts in these fields to produce relatively concise but instruc tive introductions to their fields.

This book is about visualization, and systematically incorporating the fantastic human pattern recognition into the problem-solving process. Focusing on parallel coordinates, it contains numerous exercises with solutions, course projects and research directions.

The unifying approach of functional analysis is to view functions as points in abstract vector space and the differential and integral operators as linear transformations on these spaces.

A description of the theoretical foundations of inelasticity, its numerical formulation and implementation, constituting a representative sample of advanced methodology used in inelastic calculations. It is of interest to researchers and graduate students in various branches of engineering.

A reference that provides readers with both a working knowledge of Mathematica in general and a knowledge of the key aspects needed to create the implementations possible. It gives users an understanding of Mathematica by instructive implementations, explanations, and examples from a range of disciplines at varying levels of complexity.

This work aims to introduce students to active areas of research in mathematical physics in a rather direct way, thus minimizing the use of abstract mathematics. The book's main features are geometric methods in spectral analysis, semi-classical analysis of resonance and other topics.

All other articles (including those of his contributions to Mathematical Reviews which go beyond a simple reporting of contents of articles) have been reproduced as they appeared, together with annotations and corrections made by Wassily on some private copies of his papers.

Designed primarily as a text this volume is an up-to-date and integrated overview of physiological sleep mechanisms, brain function, psychological ramifications of sleep, dimensions of dreaming, and clinical disorders associated with sleep.

It is amazing that the usual reply to being introduced to a mathematician is a stumbling apology about how bad someone is at mathematics, no matter how good they may be in reality.

Our objectives in writing Project Scheduling: A Research Handbook are threefold: (1) Provide a unified scheme for classifying the numerous project scheduling problems occurring in practice and studied in the literature;

This book is intended to serve as an introduction to the pests of stored foodstuffs of all types on a worldwide basis, and as a broad reference text. The stored products mentioned in the text are commercial products in the widest sense, including all types of plant and animal materials in addition to grain and prepared foodstuffs.

Tradition recognises five social sciences: anthropology, economies, social psychology, sociology, and political science.

This fifth edition of Lang's book covers all the topics traditionally taught in the first-year calculus sequence. In addition, the rear of the book contains detailed solutions to a large number of the exercises, allowing them to be used as worked-out examples -- one of the main improvements over previous editions.

Deals with the historical development of Quantum Theory.

The first edition of this book was the first comprehensive text written solely on principal component analysis. The second edition updates and substantially expands the original version, and is once again the definitive text on the subject. Its length is nearly double that of the first edition.

This updated and integrated edition is a comprehensive review of what is known about the neuropsychology of attention. It is an insightful look at the disorders that affect it and also assesses a variety of clinical approaches to its assessment and treatment.
