Contemporary Quantitative Finance: Essays in Honour of Eckhard Platen
Several contributors to this volume write a series of articles outlining contemporary advances in a number of key areas of mathematical finance such as, optimal control theory applied to finance, interest rate models, credit risk and credit derivatives, use of alternative stochastic processes, numerical solution of equations of mathematical finance, estimation of stochastic processes in finance.
The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists estimates that 2.5 million people in the UK have a communication disorder. Of this number, some 800,000 people have a disorder that is so severe that it is hard for anyone outside their immediate families to understand them. In Clinical Linguistics, Louise Cummings provides a comprehensive introduction to speech and language therapy which will give SLT students an excellent starting point for a wide range of communication impairments.
Because of its large command structure and intricate syntax, Mathematica can be difficult to learn. Wolfram's Mathematica manual, while certainly comprehensive, is so large and complex that when trying to learn the software from scratch -- or find answers to specific questions -- one can be quickly overwhelmed.
Intuitionism: An Introduction (Study in Logic & Mathematics)
Intuitionistic mathematics involves discerning the truth of a given statement. This high-level introductory treatment assumes a strong mathematical background, bringing readers directly to the center of several different branches of intuitionistic mathematics. The author, a leader in the field of intuitionistic mathematics, employs condensed proofs and presumes a familiarity with classical theories. 1971 edition.
This text, extensively class-tested over a decade at UC Berkeley and UC San Diego, explains the fundamentals of algorithms in a story line that makes the material enjoyable and easy to digest. Emphasis is placed on understanding the crisp mathematical idea behind each algorithm, in a manner that is intuitive and rigorous without being unduly formal
