Mathematics – Undergraduate Textbooks Discrete Mathematics Discrete Structures and Their Interactions Jason I. Brown Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada

With exercises and research problems, this text highlights the connections among various discrete structures, including graphs, directed graphs, hypergraphs, partial orders, finite topologies, and simplicial complexes. It also explores their relationships to classical areas of mathematics, such as linear and multilinear algebra, analysis, probability, logic, and topology. The author explains how discrete structures have important applications in many areas inside and outside of combinatorics. He also discusses how to recognize valuable research connections through the structures. • Covers discrete structures from a variety of viewpoints, including combinatorial, algebraic, probabilistic, analytic, and logical

Elements of Advanced Mathematics Third Edition Steven G. Krantz Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, USA

“… one of the difficulties that students have with university mathematics is being able to relate it to what they’ve done at school. … another problem to be addressed is to represent mathematics as a way of knowing—rather than a static body of formalized knowledge. In this book, Steven Krantz tackles this anomaly by including many open-ended problems in the rich collections of exercises. … The new chapters on theoretical computer science are concisely lucid, and I learned much by reading them. … this book engages the reader in really meaningful aspects of mathematics: it is well organized and is written with accuracy. … it is recommended as a possible course text for those who are planning to teach a foundation course.” —P.N. Ruane, MAA Reviews, July 2012

Mathematics – Undergraduate Textbooks Combinatorics / Introduction to Graph Theory Combinatorics of Permutations Second Edition Miklós Bóna University of Florida, Gainesville, USA

“… all chapters have new exercises and problems, some of which reflect recent results. This is an excellent book on an important subject.” —Fernando Q. Gouvêa, MAA Reviews, December 2012 (This book is in the MAA’s basic library list.)

“Until now it was necessary to consult a myriad of sources … in order to grasp the whole picture. Now, however, Miklós Bóna has provided us with a comprehensive, engaging, and eminently readable introduction to all aspects of the combinatorics of permutations.” —From the Foreword by Richard Stanley, MIT

A 2006 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title, the first edition of this bestseller was lauded for its detailed yet engaging treatment of permutations. With much of the book significantly revised and expanded, this second edition continues to clearly show the usefulness of the subject. Along with more exercises and problems, this edition includes new material on alternating permutations, multivariate applications, pattern avoidance, and asymptotically normal distributions.

Bijective Combinatorics

Computational Number Theory

Nicholas Loehr

Abhijit Das

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, USA

Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur

“I found this book engaging. The proofs are very clear, and in many cases several proofs are offered. … This book could serve several purposes. … it could be an excellent choice for a first course in combinatorics for senior undergraduates. … it could work well for a more mature audience. … it also makes a great reference for people who use combinatorics but are not specialists. … This is a very nice book that deserves serious consideration.”

Avoiding advanced algebra and requiring no prior experience with number theory or sophisticated algebraic tools, this self-contained text covers many computational aspects of number theory and highlights important and interesting engineering applications. With an emphasis on implementation issues, it uses the freely available number-theory calculator GP/PARI to demonstrate complex arithmetic computations. The text includes numerous examples and exercises throughout and omits lengthy proofs.

Mathematics for Engineering – Graduate Textbooks Numerical Methods for Engineers and Scientists Using MATLAB®

Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials using Abaqus™

Ramin S. Esfandiari

Ever J. Barbero

California State University, Long Beach, USA

West Virginia University, Morgantown, USA

“The author has done an excellent job in explaining the concepts in a simple and straightforward manner. The text is very complete and includes lots of worked out examples. I highly recommend this book to engineers and undergraduate and graduate students. A very good mix of mathematical theory and MATLAB® applications.”

“The book is essential for any academic in the area of solid mechanics. I use this book with my students, as the subject and the materials are very clear and finite element codes in the book help their work progress and make my guidance more productive. It has both theory and applications using the finite element method. This book is also essential for composite engineers as a quick reference of topics that can be of use in their field.”

Advanced Engineering Mathematics

Introduction to Numerical and Analytical Methods with MATLAB® for Engineers and Scientists

Lawrence Turyn

William Bober

Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio, USA

Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, USA

“… great expositions of many topics that are usually omitted in similar books but are important in applications. For instance, least square solutions are presented at great detail. Another strength of Turyn’s book is a collection of exercises.”

This textbook teaches students how to write computer programs using MATLAB® and explains how to use many of MATLAB’s built-in functions to solve engineering-type problems. It includes many exercises and examples from mechanical, civil, aeronautical, and electrical engineering.

Mathematical and Systems Biology New!

Systems Biology Mathematical Modeling and Model Analysis

Dynamics of Biological Systems Michael Small Hong Kong Polytechnic University

Andreas Kremling Technical University Munich, Germany

“Systems Biology: Mathematical Modeling and Model Analysis is a rich resource of mathematical methods and approaches that can be utilized to analyze and understand biological systems. … Systems Biology devotes a good portion of the material to state-of-the-art model diagnostics and engineering techniques, such as linear systems analysis and control theory, which so far are rarely found in systems biology texts and are therefore a welcome addition to the repertoire of textbook literature. For instance, important topics like identifiability, observability, and robust control are seldom encountered in introductory texts on systems biology but discussed here in some detail. Laudably, all topics are illustrated with step-by-step examples, and many of them are reinforced with exercises.” —Eberhard Voit, Georgia Institute of Technology

“… a meticulous and far-reaching treatment of this critically important subject. … Each chapter is thoughtfully crafted to draw in novices to the field while still engaging to experts. Additionally, a number of well-designed exercises complement each chapter. I found the sections on model analysis and control theory particularly useful and relevant.” —Markus Covert, Stanford University Solutions manual and figure slides available upon qualifying course adoption

Biological Computation Ehud Lamm Tel-Aviv University, Israel

Ron Unger Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Gan, Israel

“Biological computing … is ready for our educational mainstream. This beautiful undergraduate text by Lamm and Unger may be the first step. This book expertly presents fundamental concepts of molecular biology in its first chapter, and then goes on to develop many computing classics from biology. … The exercises flex the imagination, the definitions are clear and precise, and the explanations are unusually powerful. I have been searching for a text like this for years, and now I look forward to using it.” —Computing Reviews, August 2011 PowerPoint slides available for instructors online
