Methods of Mathematical Modelling
(Springer, 2015)In order to explain the purpose of modelling, it is helpful to start by asking: what is a mathematical model? One answer was given by Rutherford Aris [4]: A model is a set of mathematical equations that … provide an ... -
Introduction to Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion
(Springer, 2018)It has been 30 years since the Second Edition. Plasma physics has grown so much that the temptation is to include all that’s new, but I haven’t done that. This is a book for those learning plasma physics for the first ... -
SPSS for Starters and 2nd Levelers
(Springer, 2016)This small book addresses different kinds of data files, as commonly encountered in clinical research and their data analysis on SPSS software. Some 15 years ago serious statistical analyses were conducted by specialist ... -
Elementary Mechanics Using Python
(Springer, 2015)This book was developed as a textbook for use in the course “Introduction to Mechanics” in the Department of Physics at the University of Oslo starting 2007. In this course we aimed at providing a seamless integration ... -
Handbook of Cardiac Anatomy, Physiology, and Devices
(Springer, 2015)Personalized medicine, clinical imaging, and the medical device industry continue to grow at an incredibly rapid pace. Further, our overall understanding of the molecular basis of diseases steadily increases, as does the ... -
Linear and Nonlinear Programming
(Springer, 2016)This book is intended as a text covering the central concepts of practical optimization techniques. It is designed for either self-study by professionals or classroom work at the undergraduate or graduate level for ... -
Python For ArcGIS
(Springer, 2015)Imagine... You’ve just begun a new job as a GIS specialist for the National Park Service. Your supervisor has asked you to analyze some wildlife data. She gives you a specifi c example to start with: One data table (Bird ... -
Physical Chemistry from a Different Angle
(Springer, 2016)Experience has shown that two fundamental thermodynamic quantities are especially difficult to grasp: entropy and chemical potential—entropy S as quantity associated with temperature T and chemical potential μ as quantity ... -
Data Mining
(Springer, 2015)The field of data mining has seen rapid strides over the past two decades, especially from the perspective of the computer science community. While data analysis has been studied extensively in the conventional field of ... -
Data Structures and Algorithms with Python
(Springer, 2015)Thanks for choosing Data Structures and Algorithms with Python. This text was written based on classroom notes for two courses, an introductory data structures and algorithms course and an advanced data structures and ... -
Applied Partial Differential Equations
(Springer, 2015)The goal of this new edition is the same as that for the original, namely, to present a one-semester treatment of the basic ideas encountered in partial differential equations (PDEs). The text is designed for a 3-credit ... -
Linear Algebra Done Right
(Springer, 2015)You are about to teach a course that will probably give students their second exposure to linear algebra. During their first brush with the subject, your students probably worked with Euclidean spaces and matrices. In ... -
Introduction to Partial Differential Equations
(Springer, 2016)The momentous revolution in science precipitated by Isaac Newton’s calculus soon revealed the central role of partial differential equations throughout mathematics and its manifold applications. Notable examples of ... -
Introduction to Mathematica for Physicists
(Springer, 2014)Computer algebra systems are widely used in pure and applied mathematics, physics, and other natural sciences, engineering, economics, as well as in higher and secondary education (see, e.g., [1–5]). For example, many ... -
Computational Physics
(Springer, 2013)This textbook introduces the main principles of computational physics, which include numerical methods and their application to the simulation of physical systems. The first edition was based on a one-year course in ... -
Understanding Analysis
(Springer, 2015)My primary goal in writing Understanding Analysis was to create an elementary one-semester book that exposes students to the rich rewards inherent in taking a mathematically rigorous approach to the study of functions ... -
An Introduction to Biomechanics
(Springer, 2015)We have very much appreciated the overwhelmingly positive response to this book by professors and students alike at universities across the USA and abroad. The goals and approach of this Second Edition thus remain as ... -
Statistics and Data Analysis for Financial Engineering with R examples
(Springer, 2015)The first edition of this book has received a very warm reception. A number of instructors have adopted this work as a textbook in their courses. Moreover, both novices and seasoned professionals have been using the book ... -
Quantum Mechanics for Pedestrians 1
(Springer, 2014)The first edition of ‘Physics for Pedestrians’ was very well received. Repeatedly, I was asked to extend the considerations to relativistic phenomena. This has now been done in this second edition. Volume 1 contains ... -
The Algorithm Design Manual
(Springer, 2012)Most professional programmers that I’ve encountered are not well prepared to tackle algorithm design problems. This is a pity, because the techniques of algorithm design form one of the core practical technologies of ...
