This CD is an ambitious project, and, in my view, it has been accomplished with remarkable success ... I have no doubt that this CD-ROM should be regarded as a ‘set text’ for viscous fluid mechanics courses at the undergraduate or starting graduate levels.”

–Journal of Fluid Mechanics “… a superb rendition of some of the most important concepts in fluid mechanics… This reviewer estimates the ration (educational value to cost) to be (almost) infinite… this reviewer highly recommends the CD to instructors as well as students… Multimedia Fluid Mechanics is an excellent study-companion… it is also a bargain.”

What are the appropriate axioms for mathematics? Through a series of case studies, this volume examines these axioms to prove particular theorems in core areas including algebra, analysis, and topology, focusing on the language of second-order arithmetic, the weakest language rich enough to express and develop the bulk of mathematics.

Number Theory and Algebra / Scientific Computing Galois Groups and Fundamental Groups Tamás Szamuely

Words Notes on Verbal Width in Groups Dan Segal

Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest

All Souls College, Oxford

Ever since the concepts of Galois groups in algebra and fundamental groups in topology emerged during the nineteenth century, mathematicians have known of the strong analogies between the two concepts. This book presents the connection starting at an elementary level and assuming as little technical background as possible.

Spectacular new results in finite group theory can be accessed via the study of word-values in groups. This book explores fundamental questions about the behaviour of word-values in groups and demonstrates the power of this approach. An accessible treatment suitable for research students and experienced workers in group theory.

This overview by prominent social scientists gives a friendly, non-technical sense of how quantitative research is done in different areas. Readers will find out about models and ways of thinking in economics, history, sociology, political science, and psychology, which in turn they can bring back to their own work.

‘A marvelous sampler of quantitative approaches to social science across a range of disciplines. The authors forsake the dry and mechanical overviews that typify introductory texts in favor of focused forays into specific problems, deemed representative of their discipline’s theoretical and empirical output.

These engrossing stories of research make the volume a lively and informative read.’

This clear, lively introduction to probability concentrates on the results that are the most useful for applications.

It is designed for a one-semester course for students who have some familiarity with basic calculus. Reflecting the author’s philosophy that the best way to learn probability is to see it in action, there are more than 350 problems and 200 examples.

‘The book has a nice interplay between probability modeling and scientific applications, whether from biology, sports, or discussions of China’s one-child policy. Many of the examples are thought provoking, including ones on DNA samples for paternity cases and others about the O. J. Simpson trial. As an instructor, I enjoy digging into these examples in class. And the large selection of interesting problems builds basic skills and deepens or extends the main ideas.’

and George Chacko Harvard Business School

This book is a graduate level manual on the pricing of financial derivatives. It allows the reader with basic knowledge of finance, calculus, and probability and statistics to understand the most powerful tools in applied finance. The focus is on equity derivatives, interest rate markets, and the mathematics of pricing.

‘This introduction to the modeling of financial derivatives is ideal for quantitatively oriented traders, bank researchers, and masters or doctoral students in this field. The book has an elegant balance of concepts and applications that allows a full understanding of why the models work, without an overburden of technical details. Broader than its title suggests, the book contains a strong grounding in models of stochastic processes for financial applications, including portfolio choice and asset pricing theory.’

This second edition remains a lively, concise introduction to the important features of MATLAB 7 and the Symbolic Math Toolbox.

‘I use the Higham brothers’ MATLAB Guide as a reference for myself and my students in all my applied mathematics and computational science courses. The clarity and usefulness of their writing are major attractions for using their books.

Consequently, I look forward to the very much improved second edition,

as if that were possible for a much admired book. In particular, the new chapter on case studies looks quite interesting with its useful applications.

In addition, new treatments of new functions and features like nested functions, ODE as well as DDE functions will be of great interest.’

Randomized algorithms have become a central part of the algorithms curriculum, based on their increasingly widespread use in modern. This book presents a coherent and unified account of classical and more advanced techniques for analyzing the performance of such algorithms. The presentation emphasizes discrete settings and elementary notions of probability, making it accessible to computer scientists and applied discrete mathematicians. The relative strengths and weaknesses of the methods are demonstrated by applying them to concrete problems.

Geometric Folding Algorithms Linkages, Origami, Polyhedra Erik D. Demaine Massachusetts Institute of Technology

and Joseph O’Rourke Smith College, Massachusetts

Lavishly illustrated and entertaining account of the surprising and useful results of the maths of folding and unfolding.

‘Demaine and O’Rourke are among the best-qualified authors for a book on this subject; and the book that they have written is a delight … it is exceptionally clear and readable.

It could be read for pleasure by any mathematics undergraduate, and much of it (though not all) by amateurs with a high school mathematics background … although there are sections that some amateurs will skip, the level is always kept as elementary as locally possible.

This book should be in all university libraries, and many professional and amateur mathematicians will want to add it to their personal collections.’

General and Recreational Maths Hexaflexagons, Probability Paradoxes, and the Tower of Hanoi Martin Gardner’s First Book of Mathematical Puzzles and Games Martin Gardner

This is the first book of the updated collection of Mathematical Games from Martin Gardner, the king of recreational mathematics. As well as the classic puzzles, Gardner has added lots of exclusive new material (game variations, proofs and more). If you like Martin Gardner, you’ll love these books.

‘Gardner’s monthly romp through recreational math and logic ran in Scientific American for 25 years, from the Sputnik splash to the Reagan reign, and nobody has been able to match it since. ‘Mathematical Games’ was an orgy of right-brain tomfoolery that could be approached for superficial fun or deep insight, or both at the same time … I can’t think of a better present for a clever 12-year old, bored undergraduate, restless retiree, or stay-at-home parent fearing intellectual stagnation.’

Additional new features: • Much-improved navigation via side bars that provide rapid overview of modules and guided browsing • Media libraries giving a snapshot of movies, each with descriptive labels • Facility to create movie playlists, which are invaluable in teaching • Higher-resolution graphics, with full- or part-screen viewing options Praise for the first edition: “Homsy and his colleagues have now provided us with a new and powerful teaching aid... This CD is an ambitious project, and, in my view, it has been accomplished with remarkable success ... I have no doubt that this CD-ROM should be regarded as a ‘set text’ for viscous fluid mechanics courses at the undergraduate or starting graduate levels.”

–Journal of Fluid Mechanics “… a superb rendition of some of the most important concepts in fluid mechanics… This reviewer estimates the ration (educational value to cost) to be (almost) infinite… this reviewer highly recommends the CD to instructors as well as students… Multimedia Fluid Mechanics is an excellent study-companion… it is also a bargain.”
