This book contains a large amount of information not found in standard textbooks. Written for the advanced undergraduate/beginning graduate student, it combines the modern mathematical standards of numerical analysis with an understanding of the needs of the computer scientist working on practical applications. Among its many particular features are: fully worked-out examples; many carefully selected and formulated problems; fast Fourier transform methods; a thorough discussion of some important minimization methods; solution of stiff or implicit ordinary differential equations and of differential algebraic systems.
Volterra Integral and Differential Equations, Volume 202, Second Edition (Mathematics in Science and Engineering)
Most mathematicians, engineers, and many other scientists are well-acquainted with theory and application of ordinary differential equations. This book seeks to present Volterra integral and functional differential equations in that same framework, allowing the readers to parlay their knowledge of ordinary differential equations into theory and application of the more general problems. Thus, the presentation starts slowly with very familiar concepts and shows how these are generalized in a natural way to problems involving a memory.
Active Investment Management: Finding and Harnessing Investment Skill (The Wiley Finance Series)
The investment management industry faces a number of well-publicised problems and difficulties. Charles Jackson shows how these all relate to the same underlying problem: that investors find investment skill very hard both to find and to put to work in a way that profits them.
Active Investment Management starts with the fundamentals of what active management is and why investors find it desirable. It goes on to show how these fundamentals have given rise to the industry’s problems, how these problems affect each other and how they can be resolved.
Linear Algebra Examples C-3: The Eigenvalue Problem and Euclidean Vector Space
The book is a collection of solved problems in linear algebra, this third volume covers the eigenvalue problem and Euclidean vector space. All examples are solved, and the solutions usually consist of step-by-step instructions, and are designed to assist students in methodically solving problems.
Linear Algebra Examples C-2: Geometrical Vectors, Vector Spaces and Linear Maps
The book is a collection of solved problems in linear algebra, the second volume covers geometrical vectors, vector spaces and linear maps. All examples are solved, and the solutions usually consist of step-by-step instructions, and are designed to assist students in methodically solving problems.
