Preface The existence of the digital computer and other devices using binary digits has resulted in a renewal of interest in the mathematical theory of finite fields. The main exposition of the foundations of the subject was written over fifty years ago and has been out of print for many years.
What Are the Chances?: Voodoo Deaths, Office Gossip, and Other Adventures in Probability
Using examples drawn from daily life and history, the author explains what probability is and how it works. Our lives are governed by chance. But what, exactly, is chance? In this book, accomplished statistician and storyteller Bart K. Holland takes us on a tour of the world of probability. Weaving together tales from real life—from the spread of the bubonic plague in medieval Europe or the number of Prussian cavalrymen kicked to death
Numerical Methodsnbsp; book is designed as an introductory undergraduate or graduate course for mathematics, science and engineering students of all disciplines. The text covers all major aspects of numerical methods, including numerical computations, matrices and linear system of equations, solution of algebraic and transcendental equations, finite differences and interpolation, curve fitting, correlation and regression, numerical differentiation and integration, and numerical solution of ordinary differential equations.
Designed for a one-semester advanced calculus course, Advanced Calculus explores the theory of calculus and highlights the connections between calculus and real analysis -- providing a mathematically sophisticated introduction to functional analytical concepts. The text is interesting to read and includes many illustrative worked-out examples and instructive exercises, and precise historical notes to aid in further exploration of calculus.
Who else want to be successful in mathematics? Calculus often causes panic in students, but with this book, that soon can be a thing of the past. Full of clear explanations and written by a highly experienced and sympathetic teacher with many years of experience in preparing students for advanced mathematics examinations, this is a definite must-have book for all students studying mathematics.
