This text features the principles involved in numerical analysis. Its main theme is interpolation of the standpoint of finite differences, least squares theory, and harmonic analysis. Also covers the numerical solutions of ordinary differential equations and approximation through Fourier series. Over ...
This accessible treatment offers the mathematical tools for describing and solving problems related to stochastic vector fields. Advanced undergraduates and graduate students will find its use of generalized functions a relatively simple method of resolving mathematical questions. It will prove a valuable ...
The Human Age is a surprising, optimistic engagement with the dramatic transformations that have shaped and continue to alter our world, our relationship with nature and our prospects for the future. Diane Ackerman is one of our most lyrical, insightful and compelling writers on the natural world, and ...
