An Introduction to the Mathematics of Money: Saving and Investing (Texts in Applied Mathematics)An Introduction to the Mathematics of Money: Saving and Investing (Texts in Applied Mathematics)

This is an undergraduate textbook on the basic aspects of personal savings and investing with a balanced mix of mathematical rigor and economic intuition. It uses routine financial calculations as the motivation and basis for tools of elementary real analysis rather than taking the latter as given. Proofs using induction, recurrence relations and proofs by contradiction are covered.

Induction: Processes of Inference, Learning, and Discovery

 Induction: Processes of Inference, Learning, and DiscoveryThis book should be 'the bible' for everyone involved in knowledge management processes. Holland, as one of the complexity theory founders, decribes the essentials of how complex adaptive rules, in relation to the variability of the environment, determine knowledge dynamics and learning capabilities.

Key message of the book is the way that processes of induction, both cognitive and subcognitive, determine rule making, rule adaptation and environment modeling.

With this work Holland (et al.) was the first to close the gap between cognition, complex adaptive systems and knowledge processing. He also provides a sound computational base for the theories presented, opening possibilities for implementation of 'the induction theory' in real world applications.

Formal Language Theory: Integrating Experimentation and Proof
38
 
 
Formal Language Theory: Integrating Experimentation and ProofThe book consists of five chapters. Chapter 1, Mathematical Background, consists of the material on set theory, induction principles for the natural numbers, and trees and inductive definitions that is required in the remaining chapters. In Chapter 2, Formal Languages, we say what symbols, strings, alphabets and (formal) languages are, introduce and show how to use several string induction principles, and give an introduction to the Forlan toolset. The remaining three chapters introduce and study more restricted sets of languages.
