Concepts are illustrated through many numerical and empirical examples.
Emphasizing analytical techniques rather than risk management issues, this book presents an applied mathematics approach to pricing a wide range of standard and exotic options within the Black–Scholes framework. No formula is simply quoted, as is the general approach in this difficult subject area. Instead, the author demystifies the perceived complexities surrounding the field of exotic option pricing by deriving each pricing formula in detail. After a brief derivatives review, he addresses dual-expiry, two-asset rainbow, and barrier options. The book also explains how stochastic volatility models are calibrated to the market.

Stochastic Finance
Alexander Melnikov
A Numeraire Approach
University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada Series: Monographs and Surveys in Pure and Applied Mathematics, 131
Jan Vecer Columbia University, New York, New York, USA Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Financial Mathematics
The development of quantitative methods based on stochastic analysis is a key achievement of modern financial mathematics. These methods can be extended and applied in the area of actuarial science, which leads to unified methods of risk management in finance and insurance. This interdisciplinary book presents an accessible, thorough introduction to the main ideas, methods, and techniques that transform risk management into a quantitative science. It clearly discusses many important notions and facts from mathematics, finance, and insurance, showing how these areas are interconnected. The text includes exercises, along with hints and selected solutions.
Based on quantitative finance courses taught to graduate students and Wall Street professionals, this text presents a novel approach to pricing derivatives contracts using numeraire techniques. Focusing on fundamental finance principles instead of mathematical theory, the author considers the price of an asset as an exchange ratio between goods that pay for each other, rather than expressing prices in currency terms. This approach leads to simple derivations of pricing formulas that are model independent. With illustrative examples, end-of-chapter exercises, and key solutions, the text emphasizes that no agent in the economy is able to produce a risk-free profit.

The theoretical methods of quantum chemistry have matured to the point that accurate predictions can be made and experiments can be understood for a wide range of important gas-phase phenomena. A large part of this success can be attributed to the maturation of hierarchies of approximation, which allow for very high accuracy provided that sufficient computational resources are available. Until recently, these hierarchies have not been available in condensed-phase chemistry, but recent advances in the field have now led to a group of methods that are capable of reaching this goal. This book addresses these new methods and the problems to which they can be applied.

Risk Analysis in Engineering presents an engineering approach to probabilistic risk analysis (PRA). It particularly emphasizes methods for comprehensive PRA studies, including techniques for risk management. Requiring no prior knowledge of risk analysis, the text provides the necessary mathematical and engineering foundations. It relies on, but is not limited to, examples from the nuclear industry, because that is where PRA techniques were first developed. Since PRA provides a best-estimate approach, the author pays special attention to explaining uncertainty characterization.
Because of the numerous applications involved in this field, the theory of special functions is under permanent development, especially regarding the requirements for modern computer algebra methods. This handbook provides in-depth coverage of special functions, which are used to help solve many of the most difficult problems in physics, engineering, and mathematics. The book presents new results along with well-known formulas used in many of the most important mathematical methods in order to solve a wide variety of problems. It also discusses formulas of connection and conversion for elementary and special functions, such as hypergeometric and Meijer G functions.

Steven G. Krantz
One of the most important problems in the theory of entire functions is the distribution of the zeros of entire functions. This is the first book to provide a systematic exposition of the bounds for the zeros of entire functions and variations of zeros under perturbations. The book also offers a new approach for investigating entire functions based on recent estimates for the resolvents of compact operators. Along with describing applications to differential, functional differential, and difference equations, the author estimates the distance between the zeros of an entire function and its critical points as well as the distance between the zeros of the Taylor series and its tail.
This second edition continues to give students the appropriate combination of authority, rigor, and readability while retaining the strict discourse necessary to advance their understanding. This edition integrates new concepts built on Fourier analysis and ideas about wavelets, indicating their application to the theory of signal processing. Surpassing a purely theoretical study, the author brings relevance to the material by emphasizing the applications of real analysis in concrete engineering problems in higher dimensions.

This volume develops the classical theory of the Lebesgue integral and some of its applications. Following a thorough study of the concepts of outer measure and measure, the authors presents the integral in the context of n-dimensional Euclidean space. A more general treatment of the integral based on an axiomatic approach is given later. The book examines closely related topics in real variables, such as functions of bounded variation, the Riemann–Stieltjes integral, Fubini’s theorem, L(p) classes, and various results about differentiation. Several applications of the theory to harmonic analysis are also provided.
Unlike other undergraduate-level texts, Real and Complex Analysis develops both the real and complex theory together. It takes a unified, elegant approach to the theory that is consistent with the recommendations of the MAA’s 2004 Curriculum Guide. By presenting real and complex analysis together, the authors illustrate the connections and differences between these two branches of analysis right from the beginning. This combined development also allows for a more streamlined approach to real and complex function theory. More than 1,000 exercises enhance the text, and ancillary materials are available on the book’s website.

The chapter on complex numbers and a discussion of formal symbolic logic have been replaced with a new introductory chapter on the nature of mathematics and more exercises. The result is a thoroughly engaging book that every student making the transition from high school to university mathematics will welcome.
Aimed at users of statistical information rather than producers of it, Fundamentals of Applied Statistics and Surveys provides an accessible treatment of basic concepts and methods without involving readers in extensive mathematics or complicated computations. Heavily focused on conceptual content, the author takes a discursive approach. He emphasizes easily understandable and generally useful techniques that are most frequently encountered by those in careers other than statistics. After reading this book, non-career statisticians will gain a better understanding of the concepts essential to understanding and applying common statistical procedures and ideas.

Addressing issues that have plagued researchers throughout the last decade, this book provides new insights into the many existing problems in statistical modeling and offers several alternative strategies to approach these problems. Emphasizing the importance of statistical thinking behind all analyses, the authors use specific examples in epidemiology to illustrate different model specifications that can imply different sets of causal relationships between variables. Each model is interpreted with regard to the context of implicit or explicit causal relationships. The authors also use vector geometry where applicable to provide an intuitive understanding of important statistical concepts.
Translational medicine has become increasingly important in pharmaceutical research development. Translational Medicine examines the critical decisions that must be made to successfully transition from basic to clinical science.

This book, the first to focus on this topic, provides an in-depth technical guide to the creation of algorithms for an automated approach to DNA microarray image analysis. The initial chapters provide biological and image analysis background while the later chapters focus on specific areas of the image analysis process: image transformations, structure extrapolation, and feature identification. Examples of real bioinformatics data illustrate the concepts throughout.

This work focues on the methodology used to construct tree structured rules. Unlike many other statistical procedures, which moved from pencil and paper to calculators, this text’s use of trees was unthinkable before computers. Reflecting both the practical and theoretical sides that have been developed in the authors’ study of tree methods, the book covers the use of trees as a data analysis method and, in a more mathematical framework, proves some of their fundamental properties. Topics covered include an introduction to tree classification, rightsized trees and honest estimates, splitting rules, and mass spectra classification.
Showing how CA can be used for data visualization in a wide variety of situations, this edition features a didactic approach with extensive marginal notes, informative figure and table captions, and end-of-chapter summaries.

Extending the Linear Model with R Generalized Linear, Mixed Effects and Nonparametric Regression Models Julian J. Faraway University of Bath, UK Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science, 66
While most books on the design of experiments emphasize the mechanics of computation, this text minimizes that distraction with the use of the SAS. Especially practical due to the author’s extensive work as a consultant, the book connects the objectives of the research to the type of experimental design required. It describes the process for choosing the appropriate design, creating the design, collecting the data, determining the proper model, fitting the model to data, and interpreting results. The projects in the book encourage readers to design and perform simple experiments. Code, data sets, and ancillary materials are available for download from the author’s website.
Following in the footsteps of the author’s previous, critically acclaimed book, Extending the Linear Models with R surveys the techniques that grow from the regression model, presenting three extensions to that framework: generalized linear models, mixed effect models, and nonparametric regression models. It provides a well-stocked toolbox of methodologies and, with its unique presentation of these very modern statistical techniques, holds the potential to break new ground in the way graduate-level courses in this area are taught. A companion website features data sets used in the book.

Introduction to Statistical Limit Theory Alan M. Polansky Northern Illinois University, Dekalb, USA
This book arms scientists, engineers, and statisticians with the computational techniques they need to analyze and understand complicated data sets. The bootstrap is a computer-based method of statistical inference that answers statistical questions without formulas and gives a direct appreciation of variance, bias, coverage, and other probabilistic phenomena. This book presents an overview of the bootstrap and related methods for assessing statistical accuracy, concentrating on the ideas rather than their mathematical justification. Not just for beginners, the presentation starts off slowly, but builds in both scope and depth to ideas that are quite sophisticated.
Those moving on to advanced statistics typically lack the mathematical foundation that allows them to make full use of statistical limit theory. This accessible resource reviews approximation theory and limit theory for sequences of functions and basic notions of functional analysis. It provides detailed arguments that show how underlying mathematical and statistical theory work together. Among its unique qualities, the text covers expansion theory, which is becoming increasingly important in modern applications. It also discusses bootstrap, kernel smoothing, and MCMC and includes a wide array of examples and problems from the fundamental to very advanced.

Environmental Science and Engineering
It’s no coincidence that many of the issues in today’s headlines read like a list of CRC new releases… from five or even ten years ago. Just as it’s never been a coincidence that the fields of inquiry our authors pursue today often bear the greatest fruit tomorrow. Whether its advancing agriculture yield, improving infrastructure, developing clean and green alternatives, retrofitting industry, reorganizing healthcare, securing our homeland, streamlining public administration, or defining just who we are and where we are going, CRC has the resources and references to turn students into professionals and leaders, researchers into innovators and pioneers. In the classroom, in the laboratory, and out in the field, wherever challenges are being met by research, ingenuity, and determination, you will find those who create and rely on the authoritative content that is the power of CRC Press.
