Applied Predictive Modeling
(Springer, 2013)This is a book on data analysis with a specific focus on the practice of predictive modeling. The term predictive modeling may stir associations such as machine learning, pattern recognition, and data mining. Indeed, ... -
Applied Chemistry
(Springer, 2013)The first edition of this book appeared 10 years ago. This book is the result of teaching in the Applied Chemistry (Dr. H.D. Gesser, the Chemistry 2240 course) as well as in the Water Quality Analysis for Civil Engineers ... -
Acid-Base Diagrams
(Springer, 2013)The understanding of acid–base equilibria is of basic importance for chemistry, and thus also for biochemistry, biology, environmental sciences, etc. Hardly any chemical technique, any biochemical process, any environmental ... -
Stellar Structure and Evolution
(Springer, 2012)The attempt to understand the physics of the structure of stars and their change in time – their evolution – has been bothering many physicists and astronomers ever since the last century. This long chain of successful ... -
Quantum Mechanics
(Springer, 2012)The preparation of another edition of a text on quantum mechanics is always a challenge. On the one hand, one may decide to cover some previously omitted topics, after gauging again their relevance. On the other hand, ... -
Electrochemistry
(Springer, 2012)The emerging constraints related to energy production, which are already shaking our economies, will undoubtedly increase. Our societies will not only have to produce the tens of terawatts of energy they require while ... -
Chemical Thermodynamics
(Springer, 2012)According to an anecdote, the German physicist Arnold Sommerfeld said the following in the 1940s: “Thermodynamics is a funny subject. The first time you go through it, you don’t understand it at all. The second time you ... -
Statistical Analysis of Clinical Data on a Pocket Calculator
(Springer, 2011)The time that statistical analyses, including analysis of variance and regression analyses, were analyzed by statistical laboratory workers, has gone for good, thanks to the availability of user-friendly statistical ... -
Reading, Writing, and Proving
(Springer, 2011)You are probably about to teach or take a “first course in proof techniques,” or maybe you just want to learn more about mathematics. No matter what the reason, a student who wishes to learn the material in this book ... -
Computer Vision
(Springer, 2011)The seeds for this book were first planted in 2001 when Steve Seitz at the University ofWashington invited me to co-teach a course called “Computer Vision for Computer Graphics”. At that time, computer vision techniques ... -
Complex Analysis
(Springer, 2017)Beginning with the first edition of Complex Analysis, we have attempted to present the classical and beautiful theory of complex variables in the clearest and most intuitive form possible. The changes in this edition, ... -
The Elements of Statistical Learning
(Springer, 2017)The field of Statistics is constantly challenged by the problems that science and industry brings to its door. In the early days, these problems often came from agricultural and industrial experiments and were relatively ... -
Solid-State Physics
(Springer, 2019) -
Introductory Time Series with R
(Springer, 2009)R has a command line interface that offers considerable advantages over menu systems in terms of efficiency and speed once the commands are known and the language understood. However, the command line system can be ... -
Applied Multivariate Statistical Analysis
(Springer, 2015)The fourth edition of this book on Applied Multivariate Statistical Analysis offers a new sub-chapter on Variable Selection by using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and its general form the so-called ... -
The Python Workbook
(Springer, 2014)I believe that computer programming is a skill that is best learned through hands-on experience. While it is valuable for you to read about programming in textbooks and watch teachers create programs at the front of ... -
Python Programming Fundamentals
(Springer, 2014)Computer Science is a creative, challenging, and rewarding discipline. Computer programmers, sometimes called software engineers, solve problems involving data: computing, moving, and handling large quantities of data ... -
Probability Theory
(Springer, 2014)This book is based on two four-hour courses on advanced probability theory that I have held in recent years at the universities of Cologne and Mainz. It is implicitly assumed that the reader has a certain familiarity ... -
Multivariate Calculus and Geometry
(Springer, 2014)The importance assigned to accuracy in basic mathematics courses has, initially, a useful disciplinary purpose but can, unintentionally, hinder progress if it fosters the belief that exactness is all that makes mathematics ... -
Fundamentals of Multimedia
(Springer, 2014)A course in Multimedia is rapidly becoming a necessity in Computer Science and Engineering curricula, especially now that multimedia touches most aspects of these fields. Multimedia was originally seen as a vertical ...
