Handbook of Finite Fields

Poised to become the leading reference in the field, the Handbook of Finite Fields is exclusively devoted to the theory and applications of finite fields. More than 80 international contributors compile state-of-the-art research in this definitive handbook.

Engineering for a Finite Planet

Our planet's resources are finite, and the engineer's work must take this fact into account. Buro Happold, the international firm of consulting engineers, has for more than 30 years shown a consistently high level of inventive and creative thought about the nature of structure and environmental control and how to use structure, systems and materials to maximum effect with minimum environmental impact. The practice has earned a reputation for expertise and excellence in this field.

Introductory Finite Difference Methods for PDEs

This book presents finite difference methods for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) and also general concepts like stability, boundary conditions etc. Material is in order of increasing complexity (from elliptic PDEs to hyperbolic systems) with related theory included in appendices. Each chapter has written and computer exercises with web links to worked solutions, programs, A/V presentations and case studies. Emphasis is on the practical and students are encouraged to do numerical experiments. This book is intended for undergraduates who know Calculus and introductory programming.

Finite Group Representations for the Pure Mathematician

The book is intended to be used as a learning tool by people who do not know the subject, rather than as an encyclopaedic reference. The book's title is intended to indicate both breadth and limitations: it will probably not be very useful to most physicists or chemists, but it is intended to be appropriate for non-specialists in the area of representation theory, such as those whose primary interest is topology, combinatorics or number theory.
