Bridging the gap between calculus and further abstract topics this book presents a well organized and much needed introduction to the foundations of analysis. It is composed of three sections: the analysis of functions of one real variable, including an introduction to the Lebesgue integral; how the appropriate abstractions lead to a powerful and widely applicable theoretical foundation for all branches of applied mathematics; an outlook to applied subjects in which analysis is used.
Research Methods in Applied Linguistics (Oxford Applied Linguistics)
This is a very practical and accessible book that offers a comprehensive overview of research methodology in applied linguistics by describing the various stages of qualitative and quantitative investigations, from collecting the data to reporting the results. It also discusses 'mixed methods research', that is, the various combinations of qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
Diversity in Language: Contrastive Studies in English and Arabic Theoretical Applied Linguistics
The Arabic and English languages have developed along separate lines over the centuries. Thus, it is no surprise that even apart from purely cultural elements, there are distinctive characteristics of the two languages that pose particular problems to native speakers of one language attempting to learn the other.
This text presents, for the first time at an elementary level, current topics in applied mathematics such as singular perturbation, nonlinear wave propagation, bifurcation, similarity methods and the numerical solution of partial differential equations. It emphasizes the interdependency of mathematics and its application to physical phenomena, and is written in a style accessible to readers with a wide range of interests and backgrounds.
Recent Developments in Applied Probability and Statistics
This book presents surveys on recent developments in applied probability and statistics. The contributions include topics such as nonparametric regression and density estimation, option pricing, probabilistic methods for multivariate interpolation, robust graphical modelling and stochastic differential equations. Due to its broad coverage of different topics the book offers an excellent overview of recent developments in applied probability and statistics.
