Taylor & Francis Ltd An Introduction to Partial Differential Equations
Book SynopsisThe first two editions of An Introduction to Partial Differential Equations with MATLAB gained popularity among instructors and students at various universities throughout the world. Plain mathematical language is used in a friendly manner to provide a basic introduction to partial differential equations (PDEs).Suitable for a one- or two-semester introduction to PDEs and Fourier series, the book strives to provide physical, mathematical, and historical motivation for each topic. Equations are studied based on method of solution, rather than on type of equation.This third edition of this popular textbook updates the structure of the book by increasing the role of the computational portion, compared to previous editions. The redesigned content will be extremely useful for students of mathematics, physics, and engineering who would like to focus on the practical aspects of the study of PDEs, without sacrificing mathematical rigor.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Discrete Cosine Transform Second Edition
Book SynopsisMany new DCT-like transforms have been proposed since the first edition of this book. For example, the integer DCT that yields integer transform coefficients, the directional DCT to take advantage of several directions of the image and the steerable DCT. The advent of higher dimensional frames such as UHDTV and 4K-TV demand for small and large transform blocks to encode small or large similar areas respectively in an efficient way. Therefore, a new updated book on DCT, adapted to the modern days, considering the new advances in this area and targeted for students, researchers and the industry is a necessity.Table of ContentsIntroduction, The Karhunen – Lo`eve Transform, The Discrete Cosine Transform, The Discrete Sine Transform, The Modified Discrete Cosine Transform, The Integer Discrete Cosine Transform, The Directional Discrete Cosine Transform, Transform Mirroring, Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C, Glossary, References, Author Index, Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd Reproducible Finance with R
Book SynopsisReproducible Finance with R: Code Flows and Shiny Apps for Portfolio Analysis is a unique introduction to data science for investment management that explores the three major R/finance coding paradigms, emphasizes data visualization, and explains how to build a cohesive suite of functioning Shiny applications. The full source code, asset price data and live Shiny applications are available at reproduciblefinance.com. The ideal reader works in finance or wants to work in finance and has a desire to learn R code and Shiny through simple, yet practical real-world examples.The book begins with the first step in data science: importing and wrangling data, which in the investment context means importing asset prices, converting to returns, and constructing a portfolio. The next section covers risk and tackles descriptive statistics such as standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, and their rolling histories. The third section focuses on portfolio theory, analyzing the SharpTrade Review"There are two major selling points from my perspective. First, Shiny web applications are a new technology that is in high demand. It enables users to communicate data science (including financial analytics) to managers and executives. I believe this alone is a big benefit that separates this book from others. The second is that (he) takes a modern approach to using three different frameworks: xts, tidyverse, and tidyquant/tibbletime. This is refreshing because it shows that there are multiple ways to accomplish the same tasks, and it exposes the user to options that they otherwise might not have considered. Because of these two aspects, I believe that the market is for financial analysts that are seeking to learn these tools. The typical reader will have some knowledge of R (not a complete beginner) and will be hungry to use Shiny in their organization…I enjoyed reading it. I found the prose approachable and not overly technical or formal." ~Matt Dancho, Founder, Business Science, LLC"There are two major selling points from my perspective.

Cambridge University Press Orthogonal Rational Functions 5 Cambridge Monographs on Applied and Computational Mathematics Series Number 5
Book SynopsisThis book generalises the classical theory of orthogonal polynomials on the complex unit circle, or on the real line to orthogonal rational functions whose poles are among a prescribed set of complex numbers. The first part treats the case where these poles are all outside the unit disk or in the lower half plane. Classical topics such as recurrence relations, numerical quadrature, interpolation properties, Favard theorems, convergence, asymptotics, and moment problems are generalised and treated in detail. The same topics are discussed for the different situation where the poles are located on the unit circle or on the extended real line. In the last chapter, several applications are mentioned including linear prediction, Pisarenko modelling, lossless inverse scattering, and network synthesis. This theory has many applications in theoretical real and complex analysis, approximation theory, numerical analysis, system theory, and in electrical engineering.Trade Review'The text is written with great clarity … A book with four authors is not common, but these four … are to be applauded for their achievement.'
