    • Automata and Computability 

      Kozen, Dexter C. (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 ...

    • Quantum Mechanics 

      Hecht, K.T. (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, ...

    • Representation Theory 

      Fulton, William; Harris, Joe (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 ...

    • Digital Image Processing 

      Burger, Wilhelm; Burge, Mark J. (Springer, 2016)
      This book provides a modern, self-contained introduction to digital image processing. We designed the book to be used both by learners desiring a firm foundation on which to build as well as practitioners in search of ...

    • Biomedical Informatics 

      Shortliffe, Edward H.; Cimino, James J. (Springer, 2014)
      The world of biomedical research and health care has changed remarkably in the 25 years since the fi rst edition of this book was undertaken. So too has the world of computing and communications and thus the underlying ...

    • Concise Guide to Databases 

      Lake, Peter; Crowther, Paul (Springer, 2013)
      From tablets of stone through to libraries of parchments; from paper-based files to the electronic era, there is not one aspect of modern business that has avoided the need to collect, collate, organize and report upon ...

    • Introduction to Smooth Manifolds 

      Lee, John M. (Springer, 2013)
      Manifolds crop up everywhere in mathematics. These generalizations of curves and surfaces to arbitrarily many dimensions provide the mathematical context for understanding “space” in all of its manifestations. Today, the ...

    • The Joy of Science 

      Lockshin, Richard A. (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 ...

    • A Beginner’s Guide to R 

      Zuur, Alain F.; Ieno, Elena N.; Meesters, Erik H.W.G. (Springer, 2009)
      Since 2000,we have taught statistics to over 5000 life scientists. This sounds a lot, and indeed it is, but with some classes of 200 undergraduate students, numbers accumulate rapidly (although some courses have involved ...

    • Introductory Statistics with R 

      Dalgaard, Peter (Springer, 2008)

    • Acquired Brain Injury 

      Elbaum, Jean; Benson, Deborah M. (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 ...

    • Numerical Optimization 

      Nocedal, Jorge; Wright, Stephen J. (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 ...

    • A Modern Introduction to Probability and Statistics 

      Dekking, F.M.; Kraaikamp, C.; Lopuhaa, H.P.; Meester, L.E. (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 ...

    • Fundamentals of Biomechanics 

      Knudson, Duane (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 ...

    • HANDBOOK OF BIOLOGICAL CONFOCAL MICROSCOPY 

      Pawley, James B. (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 ...

    • Advanced Organic Chemistry 

      CAREY, FRANCIS A.; SUNDBERG, RICHARD J. (Springer, 2007)
      This Fifth Edition marks the beginning of the fourth decade that Advanced Organic Chemistry has been available. As with the previous editions, the goal of this text is to allow students to build on the foundation of ...
