First realized in the 1980s by Lenstra, Lenstra, and Lovasz, the LLL algorithm was originally intended to factor polynomials with rational coefficients. It improved upon the existing lattice reduction algorithm in order to solve integer linear programming problems and was later adapted for use in crypanalysis. This book provides an introduction to the theory and applications of lattice basis reduction and the LLL algorithm. With numerous examples and exercises, the text discusses various applications of lattice basis reduction to polynomial factorization, cryptography, number theory, and matrix canonical forms.

Allen Tucker, Ralph Morelli, and Chamindra de Silva
Helping readers avoid common mistakes and build better models, this is one of the first books to apply the popular patterns perspective to database systems and the data models that are used to design state-of-the-art, efficient database systems. The author uses detailed data model patterns as a basis for expertly building data models. Since most commercial software is built around a database, he focuses on databases rather than programming. He emphasizes how database representation sets the path for the software, determines its flexibility, affects its quality, and influences whether the software succeeds or fails.

Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Pure and Applied Mathematics
This book introduces a new graphs-based language called Formal Graphs for representing the mathematical equations found in a large number of scientific domains, including mechanics, physicochemistry, dynamics, solid state physics, rheology, surface energy, electrochemistry, and chemical reactivity. This elementary approach consists of drawing links and nodes on a graph, instead of writing algebraic equations. The graphs encourage a visual, unified comprehension of the relationships between physical concepts and variables, properties, and operators.
With data on number theory, encryption schemes, and cyclic codes, this highly successful textbook—proven by the authors in a popular two-quarter course— presents coding theory, construction, encoding, and decoding of specific code families in an easy-to-use manner appropriate for students with only a basic background in mathematics.

Technical Analysis of Stock Trends
Columbia University, New York, New York, USA Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Financial Mathematics
Ninth Edition Robert D. Edwards, John Magee, and W.H.C. Bassetti
This classroom-tested text provides a deep understanding of derivative contracts. Unlike much of the existing literature, the book treats price as a number of units of one asset needed for an acquisition of a unit of another asset instead of expressing prices in dollar terms exclusively. This numeraire approach leads to simpler pricing options for complex products, such as barrier, lookback, quanto, and Asian options. With many examples and exercises, the text relies on intuition and basic principles, rather than technical computations.
Based on the groundbreaking research and experience of Dow, Schabacker, Edwards, and Magee, Technical Analysis of Stock Trends offers proven trading and investing techniques for success, even in today’s unpredictable market. This ninth edition features updated context material, including related tactical procedures and techniques as well as additional information on Internet tools. It expands material on the three-days-away procedures and short- and very short-term market analysis. This edition also updates Dow Theory with extended comments from the modern point of view and includes an updated appendix and glossary.

Molecular Modeling Basics
Frederick R. Manby
Jan H. Jensen
University of Bristol, UK
University of Copenhagen, Denmark
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. Until recently, these hierarchies have not been available in condensed-phase chemistry, but 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.
This book provides the fundamental theory needed to understand not only what molecular modeling programs do, but also the gist of research papers that describe molecular modeling results. It begins by examining the potential energy surface and then explores ways to calculate energy by molecular and quantum mechanics. The author describes molecular properties and the condensed phase and shows how to extract and interpret information from a program output. He also uses hands-on exercises to illustrate concepts. A supplemental blog provides animated tutorials and interactive figures.

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.
By 1950, “The Bright Boys” had built the world’s first real-time computer. Three years later, they one-upped themselves when they switched on the world’s first digital network. In 1953, their work was met with incredulity and completely overlooked. By 1968, their work was gospel. Today, it’s the way of the world. This acclaimed book recounts the fascinating history of how our current technology was born and how it has evolved. It includes a special foreword by Jay W. Forrester and provides notes by chapter and a portfolio of archival photography.

Statistical Thinking in Business Second Edition
Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
University of Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK
Covering important topics in econometrics, this book discusses methods for efficient estimation in models defined by unconditional and conditional moment restrictions, inference in misspecified models, generalized empirical likelihood estimators, and alternative asymptotic approximations. The first chapter provides a general overview of established nonparametric and parametric approaches to estimation and conventional frameworks for statistical inference. The next several chapters focus on the estimation of models based on moment restrictions implied by economic theory. The final chapters cover nonconventional asymptotic tools that lead to improved finite-sample inference.
Traditional statistics texts tend to focus on probability, mathematical detail, and heavy computation, and thus fail to meet the needs of future business managers. Statistical Thinking in Business provides an introductory course in business statistics for those with little mathematical background. This second edition removes the “workbook” approach to make room for more material with greater emphasis on forecasting and time series. A supporting website provides a wealth of supplemental materials.

One of the few to offer a graduate-level introduction to Bayesian statistics for social scientists, this text provides detailed explanations of derivations and theories using a computationally oriented approach. This edition discusses the deviance information criterion, hybrid MCMC algorithms, diagnostics, perfect sampling, and Bayesian nonparametrics. The author emphasizes applications commonly used in the social sciences and uses an MCMC package in WinBUGS and the MCMCpack in R. He also supplies detailed advice and guidance on the mechanics of stochastic simulation. A solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors.
Designed for a two-semester, introductory course for graduate students in the social sciences, this text introduces three major advances in the field: 1) sample size estimation needed to justify normality via the central limit theorem, 2) the impact of outliers and heavy-tailed distributions on power and our ability to obtain an accurate assessment of how groups differ and variables are related, and 3) the deleterious effects of heteroscedasticity on conventional ANOVA and regression methods. Focusing on conceptual issues rather than complex computational details, it also provides a library of R functions.
