Representation Theory
(Springer, 1991)The primary goal of these lectures is to introduce a beginner to the finitedimensional representations of Lie groups and Lie algebras. Since this goal is shared by quite a few other books, we should explain in this Preface ... -
Differential Equations and Their Applications
(Springer, 1993)Mathematics is playing an ever more important role in the physical and biological sciences, provoking a blurring of boundaries between scientific disciplines and a resurgence of interest in the modern as weil as the ... -
Probability
(Springer, 1993)This is a text for a one-quarter or one-semester course in probability, aimed at students who have done a year of calculus. The book is organized so a student can learn the fundamental ideas of probability from the first ... -
Principles of Quantum Mechanics
(Springer, 1994)Over the decade and a half since I wrote the first edition, nothing has altered my belief in the soundness of the overall approach taken here. This is based on the response of teachers, students, and my own occasional ... -
Automata and Computability
(Springer, 1997)These are my lecture notes from C8381/481: Automata and Computability Theory, a one-semester senior-level course I have taught at Cornell University for many years. I took this course myself in the fall of 1974 as ... -
Human Chromosomes
(Springer, 2000)This book presents a comprehensive introduction to the principles of human cytogenetics and provides examples of their applications, especially those that are important in diagnostic and preventive medicine. The authors ... -
Principles of Polymer Chemistry
(Springer, 2000)This book, unlike the first and second editions, is primarily aimed to be a textbook for a graduate course in polymer chemistry and a reference book for practicing polymer chemists. The first and second editions, on the ... -
Quantum Mechanics
(Springer, 2000)This book is an outgrowth of lectures given at the University of Michigan at various times from 1966-1996 in a first-year graduate course on quantum mechanics. It is meant to be at a fairly high level. On the one hand, ... -
Algebra
(Springer, 2002)As I see it, the graduate course in algebra must primarily prepare students to handle the algebra which they will meet in all of mathematics: topology, partial differential equations, differential geometry, algebraic ... -
Discrete Mathenlatics
(Springer, 2003)For most students, the first and often only course in college mathematics is calculus. It is true that calculus is the single most important field of mathematics, whose emergence in the seventeenth century signaled ... -
All of Statistics
(Springer, 2004)Taken literally, the title "All of Statistics" is an exaggeration. But in spirit, the title is apt, as the book does cover a much broader range of topics than a typical introductory book on mathematical statistics. This ... -
A Modern Introduction to Probability and Statistics
(Springer, 2005)Probability and statistics are fascinating subjects on the interface between mathematics and applied sciences that help us understand and solve practical problems. We believe that you, by learning how stochastic methods ... -
New Introduction to Multiple Time Series Analysis
(Springer, 2005)When I worked on my Introduction to Multiple Time Series Analysis (Lu¨tkepohl (1991)), a suitable textbook for this field was not available. Given the great importance these methods have gained in applied econometric ... -
DEVELOPMENTAL NEUROBIOLOGY
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2005)As subsequent chapters will describe, the vertebrate nervous system is necessarily complex. However, this belies its humble beginnings, segregating relatively early as a plate of cells in the dorsal ectoderm of the ... -
Numerical Optimization
(Springer, 2006)This is a book for people interested in solving optimization problems. Because of the wide (and growing) use of optimization in science, engineering, economics, and industry, it is essential for students and practitioners ... -
Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy
(Springer, 2006)The first edition of Principles was published in 1983, and the second edition 16 years later in 1999. At that time I thought the third edition would not be written until 2010 or later. However, the technology of ... -
HANDBOOK OF BIOLOGICAL CONFOCAL MICROSCOPY
(Springer, 2006)Once the second edition was safely off to the printer, the 110 authors breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed, secure in the belief that they would “never have to do that again.” That lasted for 10 years. When we finally ... -
Fundamentals of Biomechanics
(Springer, 2007)This second edition of Fundamentals of Biomechanics was developed primarily to update a well-received text. The uniqueness of integrating biological and mechanical bases in analyzing and improving human movement has been ... -
Acquired Brain Injury
(Springer, 2007)Crimmins (2000) marveled at the greatness of the “three pound-blob” that is our brain and control system.As seasoned clinicians in the field of neuro-rehabilitation, we still marvel each day at the resilience of the brain ... -
The Joy of Science
(Springer, 2007)Scientists have great passion. What could be more exhilarating than to go to work every day feeling as if you were once again a nine-year-old called up to he stage to help the magician with his trick? To be a researcher ...
