Bioinformatics for Evolutionary Biologists
(Springer, 2018)Evolutionary biologists have two types of ancestors: naturalists such as Charles Darwin (1809–1892) and theoreticians such as Ronald A. Fisher (1890–1962). The intellectual descendants of these two scientists have ... -
Concise Guide to Software Engineering
(Springer, 2017)The objective of this book was to provide a concise introduction to the software engineering field to students and practitioners. The principles of software engineering are discussed, and the goal is to give the reader ... -
The Data Science Design Manual
(Springer, 2017)Making sense of the world around us requires obtaining and analyzing data from our environment. Several technology trends have recently collided, providing new opportunities to apply our data analysis savvy to greater ... -
Mass Spectrometry
(Springer, 2017)When non-mass spectrometrists are talking about mass spectrometry, it rather often sounds as if they were telling a story out of Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination. Indeed, mass spectrometry appears to be regarded ... -
Phylogenomics
(Springer, 2017)All life on earth shares a common ancestor, and the aim of phylogenetic systematics is to reconstruct the tree or network of life. Shortly after the availability of the first protein sequences, molecular phylogenetic ... -
Exam Survival Guide: Physical Chemistry
(Springer, 2017)Novel concepts in teaching stress the active role of the student in the acquisition of competence. In this spirit, the Exam Survival Guide: Physical Chemistry was developed as a supplemental offer primarily to students, ... -
Cardiovascular Biomechanics
(Springer, 2017)This book is concerned with cardiovascular biomechanics; this is the study of the function and the structure of the cardiovascular system using the methods of mechanics. It has become clear that this area lies at the ... -
Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis
(2016)The success of the open-source statistical software “R” has made a significant impact on the teaching and research of statistics in the last decade. Analysing data is now easier and more affordable than ever, but choosing ... -
Statistical Learning from a Regression Perspective
(Springer, 2017)Over the past 8 years, the topics associated with statistical learning have been expanded and consolidated. They have been expanded because new problems have been tackled, new tools have been developed, and older tools ... -
Introduction to Time Series and Forecasting
(Springer, 2016)This book is aimed at the reader who wishes to gain a working knowledge of time series and forecasting methods as applied in economics, engineering, and the natural and social sciences. Unlike our more advanced book, ... -
Recommender Systems
(Springer, 2016)“Nature shows us only the tail of the lion. But I do not doubt that the lion belongs to it even though he cannot at once reveal himself because of his enormous size.”– Albert Einstein The topic of recommender systems ... -
Basic Concepts in Computational Physics
(Springer, 2016)Traditionally physics is divided into two fields of activities: theoretical and experimental. As a consequence of the stunning increase in computer power and of the development of more powerful numerical techniques, a ... -
Advanced Quantum Mechanics
(Springer, 2016)Quantum mechanics was invented in an era of intense and seminal scientific research between 1900 and 1928 (and in many regards continues to be developed and expanded) because neither the properties of atoms and electrons, ... -
Foundations of Analytical Chemistry
(Springer, 2018)The authors were compelled to write this book by two main “drivers.” One was their wish to further endorse the strategic significance of the true fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry in order to help students first ... -
Computational Physics
(Springer, 2017)While the first edition of this textbook was based on a one-year course in computational physics with a rather limited scope, its extent has been increased substantially in the third edition, offering the possibility to ... -
Modeling Life
(Springer, 2017)This course was designed to supplant the traditional “Calculus for Life Sciences” course generally required for freshman and sophomore life science students. The standard course is limited to calculus in one variable and ... -
Essentials of Cerebellum and Cerebellar Disorders
(Springer, 2016)The depth and breadth of knowledge regarding cerebellar functions in health and disease continue to grow exponentially. Most of the currently available books dealing with the cerebellum and its disorders are highly ... -
Object-Oriented Analysis, Design and Implementation
(Springer, 2015)The second edition of the book includes revisions based on the feedback received from a number of sources on the first edition. The case-study-based approach to the principles of object-oriented design has been mostly ... -
The Physics of Semiconductors
(Springer, 2016)Semiconductor electronics is commonplace in every household. Semiconductor devices have enabled economically reasonable fiber-based optical communication, optical storage, and high-frequency amplification and have recently ... -
Stochastic Processes and Calculus
(Springer, 2016)By now there exist a number of books describing stochastic integrals and stochastic calculus in an accessible manner. Such introductory books, however, typically address an audience having previous knowledge about and ...
