Series: Textbooks in Mathematics

Series: Textbooks in Mathematics

This book introduces the basic notions of abstract algebra to sophomores and perhaps even junior mathematics majors who have a relatively weak background with conceptual courses. It introduces the material with many concrete examples and establishes a firm foundation for introducing more abstract mathematical notions.

Introducing vector spaces over fields as well as the fundamental concepts of linear combinations, span of vectors, linear independence, basis, and dimension, this book discusses the algebra of polynomials with coefficients in a field, concentrating on results that are consequences of the division algorithm. It develops the structure theory of a linear operator on a finite dimensional vector space and explores inner product spaces from the GramSchmidt process to the spectral theorems for normal and self-adjoint operators.

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA

University of Waterloo, Canada

Joseph J. Kerski

Written by two renowned researchers, this graduate level textbook provides a thorough grounding in the field of cryptography. This topic is central to the graduate level curriculum in mathematics and electrical engineering since finite fields play a central role in the theory and practice of error correcting codes and cryptography.

Unlike many of the other books on this topic the authors do not require a sophisticated background in linear algebra.

Environmental Systems Research Institute, Lakewood, Colorado, USA

Spatial mathematics and analysis, two different approaches to scholarship, yield different results and employ different tools. This book explores both approaches to looking at real world issues that have mathematics as a critical, but often unseen, component.

Kennesaw State University, Kennesaw, Georgia, USA

Series: Modern Mechanics and Mathematics

This book presents the foundations of computational modeling and provides a smooth transition to more advanced modeling in computational science. The author includes several Python packages that are useful for implementing most computational models. The book covers important concepts of abstraction, decomposition, and mathematical modeling. It offers a gradual introduction to using numerical methods from a computer science perspective. For every topic discussed, one or more complete case studies are presented with implementation in Python.

This handbook covers the peridynamic modeling of failure and damage. Peridynamics is a reformulation of continuum mechanics based on the integration of interactions rather than the spatial differentiation of displacements. The book extends the classical theory of continuum mechanics to allow unguided modeling of crack propagation/fracture in brittle, quasi-brittle, and ductile materials; autonomous transition from continuous damage/fragmentation to fracture; modeling of long-range forces within a continuous body; and multiscale coupling in a consistent mathematical framework.

Albany College of Pharmacy, New York, USA

Linnaeus University, Sweden

The physiological processes involved in the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of xenobiotics and their corresponding pharmacological or toxicological responses in the body is studied through the integration of pharmacokinetics and toxicokinetics. By developing a firm understanding of this interrelation, appropriate approaches can be designed to achieve desirable outcomes. This book unifies important topics relevant to both disciplines through a logical and systematic approach, with emphasis on general principles and concepts rather than isolated observations. The author explores mathematical methodologies and discusses various approaches in mathematical modeling.

The present wave of interest in quantum foundations is caused by the tremendous development of quantum information science and its applications to quantum computing and quantum communication. It has become clear that some of the difficulties encountered in realizations of quantum information processing have roots at the very fundamental level. To solve such problems, quantum theory has to be reconsidered. This book is devoted to the analysis of the probabilistic structure of quantum theory, probing the limits of classical probabilistic representation of quantum phenomena.

Eric Gjerde

Most modern books on Einstein emphasize the genius of his relativity theory and the corresponding corrections and extensions of the ancient space-time concept. However, Einstein’s opposition to the use of probability in the laws of nature and particularly in the laws of quantum mechanics are often portrayed as outdated. This book takes a different view and shows that Einstein created a “Trojan horse” ready to unleash forces against the use of probability as a basis for the laws of nature.

Wearing Gauss’s Jersey

Shaping a Discipline

Dean Hathout

Matti Tedre

This text focuses on “Gauss problems”—problems that can be very tedious and time consuming when tackled in a traditional, straightforward way but if approached in a more insightful fashion, can yield the solution much more easily and elegantly. The book shows how mathematical problem solving can be fun and how students can improve their mathematical insight, regardless of their initial level of knowledge. Illustrating the underlying unity in mathematics, it also explores how problems seemingly unrelated on the surface are actually extremely connected to each other.

Stockholm University, Kista, Sweden

Ever since its development in the 1940s, computer scientists have debated the nature of computing as a discipline: “Is computing a scientific, theoretical, or engineering discipline?” This book presents all three perspectives on the essence of computing as a discipline: theoretical, engineering, and scientific viewpoints. It relates the three viewpoints to the broader disciplinary context, clarifies their background, and analyzes the reasoning behind them. The book also presents a rich picture of leaders in the field.

The book explores how build a mechanical inferences by making use of arithmetic operations on a string of numbers representing statements. In this way logic is reduced to a branch of the combinatory calculus. It covers the field of traditional logic by showing that any kind of inference can be mechanically reduced to three-variables and two-premise inferences. Meriological inferences can also be easily treated in this way. The book covers the following subjects: structural description of space; three-variable inferences through products, sums, subtractions, and divisions; generalization to n variables; relations; and applications.

Starting from the preliminaries through live examples, the author tells the story about what a sample intends to communicate to a reader about the unknowable aggregate in a real situation. The story develops its own logic and a motivation for the reader to put up with, herein follows. Various intellectual approaches are set forth, in as lucid a manner as possible. Developments reached hitherto are presented and reviewed. Certain fresh and unseen problems are also noted and possible solutions are hit upon.

Combining the two statistical techniques of network sampling and adaptive sampling, this book illustrates the advantages of using them in tandem to effectively capture sparsely located elements in unknown pockets. It shows how network sampling is a reliable guide in capturing inaccessible entities through linked auxiliaries. The text also explores how adaptive sampling is strengthened in information content through subsidiary sampling with devices to mitigate unmanageable expanding sample sizes. Empirical data illustrates the applicability of both methods.

Duanli Yan, Alina A. von Davier, and Charles Lewis Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Statistics in the Social and Behavioral Sciences

Unlike other forms of adaptive testing, multistage testing (MST) is highly suitable for testing educational achievement because it can be adapted to educational surveys and student testing. This volume provides the first unified source of information on the design, psychometrics, implementation, and operational use of MST. It shows how to apply theoretical statistical tools to testing in novel and useful ways. It also explains how to explicitly tie the assumptions made by each model to observable (or at least inferable) data conditions.

Throughout the book, R code illustrates how to implement the analyses and generate the graphs. The example datasets, code, and more are available on the author’s website.

For social scientists, it is often confusing how to determine when missing data is a problem in analyses and how to handle it. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the available methods, focusing on which method should be used for specific problems. It features numerous real and simulated data examples to illustrate how the methods can be applied once the appropriate technique has been determined. It also includes exercises, computer-based problems, and suggestions for further reading. R code and the data sets are available on the book’s website.
