Cambridge University Press Basic Hypergeometric Series 96 Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications Series Number 96
Book SynopsisThis revised and expanded new edition will continue to meet the needs for an authoritative, up-to-date, self contained and comprehensive account of the rapidly growing field of basic hypergeometric series, or q-series. Some sections and exercises have been added and the bibliography has been revised to maintain its comprehensiveness.Trade Review'I love this book! It is great! This really is a book you can learn the subject from. The plentiful exercises vary from elementary to challenging with lots of each. Congratulations and thanks are due the authors.' George Andrews, American Math. Monthly'The book is remarkable in many ways. It is comprehensive, at least, comprehensive to date. As is typical of most works on the subject, it is clearly and carefully written. While no book can conceivably incorporate all the important results, particularly those obtained in the last decade, many of them are included as exercises. And this is the feature all other books on the subject lack: a set of exercises. Each chapter is topped off by a challenging series of problems which lead the reader to recreate recent discoveries. Anyone who works even a small percentage of them will soon be an expert. A generous series of historical notes concludes each chapter. The book is user friendly in every respect. The book has two excellent Appendices which summarize the identities and summation formulas derived in the text, an exhaustive 25 page list of references, and a nontrivial index. Now anyone working in combinatorics, group representation theory, coding theory, and related fields will want to own it. Many physicists will find it bears directly on matters of interest to them. Computer scientists may find the book increasingly timely. Those who have refrained from entering the field because of the tortuous notation can now have untroubled access to its mysteries. I say, come in, the water's fine.' Jet Wimp, SIAM Review'This is an excellent and very informative book on the subject. After a gentle introduction to basic series and some special cases (such as the 'q'-binomial theorem) the authors bring the reader up to the latest results on the general theory and its extensions, many such results are due to them. The exercises are utilized to include results that found no room in the detailed treatment. In addition to these exercises, notes at the end of each chapter point the reader to related topics. This alone makes the book an invaluable reference to those who are interested in basic series.' Waleed A. Al-Salam, Math. Reviews'Thus the present book, devoted to 'q'-hypergeometric series, appears at a very timely moment. The result is excellent. The first chapter presents a clear and elementary introduction to the subject. At the end of the book there are excellent indices and compendia of formulas.' Tom H. Koornwinder, Bulletin of London Mathematical Society'… a very modern, self-contained, comprehensive and successful monograph, interesting and useful, for physicists as well as for mathematicians from various branches, who wish to learn about the subject.'

Cambridge University Press Linear Operators and their Spectra 106 Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics Series Number 106
Book SynopsisThis authoritative text presents a broad view of the spectral theory of non-self-adjoint linear operators and contains many illustrative examples and exercises. Topics discussed include Fredholm theory, Hilbert-Schmidt and trace class operators, one-parameter semigroups, perturbations of their generators and a thorough account of the new theory of pseudospectra.Trade Review'One will look in vain for the notions of pseudospectrum, hull and numerical range in standard functional analysis texts, so Davies has done us a great service by explaining them through beautiful theorems and examples. More generally, his book is the first to offer a comprehensive survey of the spectral theory of non-self-adjoint operators, including both 'classical' and 'cutting edge' results, showing that this theory holds as much promise as the self-adjoint theory in both foundations and application. The scope of the book is truly enormous and is only partly reflected by listing the chapter titles … [a] beautiful volume, which has no competitors.'

Cambridge University Press Probability The Classical Limit Theorems
Book SynopsisProbability theory has been extraordinarily successful at describing a variety of phenomena, from the behaviour of gases to the transmission of messages, and is, besides, a powerful tool with applications throughout mathematics. At its heart are a number of concepts familiar in one guise or another to many: Gauss' bell-shaped curve, the law of averages, and so on, concepts that crop up in so many settings they are in some sense universal. This universality is predicted by probability theory to a remarkable degree. This book explains that theory and investigates its ramifications. Assuming a good working knowledge of basic analysis, real and complex, the author maps out a route from basic probability, via random walks, Brownian motion, the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem, to aspects of ergodic theorems, equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, communication over a noisy channel, and random matrices. Numerous examples and exercises enrich the text.Trade Review'… packs a great deal of material into a moderate-sized book, starting with a synopsis of measure theory and ending with a taste of current research into random matrices and number theory. The book ranges more widely than the title might suggest … There are numerous exercises sprinkled throughout the book. Most of these are exhortations to fill in details left out of the main discussion or illustrative examples. The exercises are a natural part of the book, unlike the exercises in so many books that were apparently grafted on after-the-fact at a publisher's insistence. McKean has worked in probability and related areas since obtaining his PhD under William Feller in 1955. His book contains invaluable insights from a long career.' John D. Cook, MAA Reviews'The scope is wide, not restricted to 'elementary facts' only. There is an abundance of pretty details … This book is highly recommendable …' Jorma K. Merikoski, International Statistical ReviewTable of ContentsPreface; 1. Preliminaries; 2. Bernoulli trials; 3. The standard random walk; 4. The standard random walk in higher dimensions; 5. LLN, CLT, iterated log, and arcsine in general; 6. Brownian motion; 7. Markov chains; 8. The ergodic theorem; 9. Communication over a noisy channel; 10. Equilibrium statistical mechanics; 11.

Cambridge University Press Linear Algebra
Book SynopsisLinear Algebra offers a unified treatment of both matrix-oriented and theoretical approaches to the course, which will be useful for classes with a mix of mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science students. Major topics include singular value decomposition, the spectral theorem, linear systems of equations, vector spaces, linear maps, matrices, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, linear independence, bases, coordinates, dimension, matrix factorizations, inner products, norms, and determinants.Trade Review'This is a book for anyone who wants to really understand linear algebra. Instead of mere cookbook recipes or dry proofs, it provides explanations, examples, pictures - and, yes, algorithms and proofs too, but only after the reader is able to understand them. And while it is aimed at beginners, even experts will have something to learn from this book.' John Baez, University of California, Riverside'This is an exciting and entertaining book. It keeps an informal tone, but without sacrificing accuracy or clarity. It takes care to address common difficulties (and the classroom testing shows), but without talking down to the reader. It uses the modern understanding of how to do linear algebra right, but remains accessible to first-time readers.' Tom Leinster, University of Edinburgh'Linear algebra is one of the most important topics in mathematics, as linearity is exploited throughout applied mathematics and engineering. Therefore, the tools from linear algebra are used in many fields. However, they are often not presented that way, which is a missed opportunity. The authors have written a linear algebra book that is useful for students from many fields (including mathematics). A great feature of this book is that it presents a formal linear algebra course that clearly makes (coordinate) matrices and vectors the fundamental tools for problem solving and computations.' Eric de Sturler, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University'It is a book well worth considering both for learning and teaching this important area of mathematics.' John Baylis, The Mathematical GazetteTable of Contents1. Linear systems and vector spaces; 2. Linear maps and matrices; 3. Linear independence, bases, and coordinates; 4. Inner products; 5.

Cambridge University Press Convex Bodies The BrunnMinkowski Theory 151 Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications Series Number 151
Book SynopsisAt the heart of this monograph is the BrunnâMinkowski theory, which can be used to great effect in studying such ideas as volume and surface area and their generalizations. In particular, the notions of mixed volume and mixed area measure arise naturally and the fundamental inequalities that are satisfied by mixed volumes are considered here in detail. The author presents a comprehensive introduction to convex bodies, including full proofs for some deeper theorems. The book provides hints and pointers to connections with other fields and an exhaustive reference list. This second edition has been considerably expanded to reflect the rapid developments of the past two decades. It includes new chapters on valuations on convex bodies, on extensions like the Lp BrunnâMinkowski theory, and on affine constructions and inequalities. There are also many supplements and updates to the original chapters, and a substantial expansion of chapter notes and references.Trade ReviewReview of the first edition: 'Neither one of [the old classics] may be considered a substitute for the excellent detailed monograph written by Rolf Schneider. I recommend this book to everyone who appreciates the beauty of convexity theory or who uses the strength of geometric inequalities, and to any expert who needs a reliable reference book for his/her research.' V. Milman, Bulletin of the American Mathematical SocietyReview of the first edition: 'Professor Schneider's book is the first comprehensive account of the Brunn-Minkowski theory and will immediately become the standard reference for the Aleksandrov-Fenchel inequalities and the current knowledge concerning the cases of equality and estimates of their stability. The book is aimed at a broad audience from graduate students to working professionals. The presentation is very clear and I enjoyed reading it.'

Book SynopsisThis textbook offers a compact introductory course on Malliavin calculus, an active and powerful area of research. It covers recent applications, including density formulas, regularity of probability laws, central and non-central limit theorems for Gaussian functionals, convergence of densities and non-central limit theorems for the local time of Brownian motion. The book also includes a self-contained presentation of Brownian motion and stochastic calculus, as well as Lévy processes and stochastic calculus for jump processes. Accessible to non-experts, the book can be used by graduate students and researchers to develop their mastery of the core techniques necessary for further study.Trade Review'This book is a delightful and self-contained introduction to stochastic and Malliavin calculus that will guide the graduate students in probability theory from the basics of the theory to the borders of contemporary research. It is a must read written by two globally recognized experts!' Fabrice Baudoin, University of Connecticut'Malliavin calculus has seen a great revival of interest in recent years, after the discovery about ten years ago that Stein's method for probabilistic approximation and Malliavin calculus fit together admirably well. Such an interaction has led to some remarkable limit theorems for Gaussian, Poisson and Rademacher functionals. This monograph, written by two internationally renowned specialists of the field, provides a concise, self-contained and very pleasant exposition of different aspects of this rich and recent line of research. For sure, it is destined to quickly become a must-have reference book!' Ivan Nourdin, University of Luxembourg'The book provides a concise and self-contained exposition of the subject including recent developments.'

Cambridge University Press Counterexamples in Measure and Integration
Book SynopsisThis is a perfect companion to any course on measure theory, integration, real and functional analysis, providing more than 300 examples and counterexamples to the otherwise often rather theoretical courses. By knowing 'what may go wrong' students will gain a better understanding of the standard course material.Trade Review'This book is an admirable counterpart, both to the first author's well-known text Measures, Integrals and Martingales (Cambridge, 2005/2017), and to the books on counter-examples in analysis (Gelbaum and Olmsted), topology (Steen and Seebach) and probability (Stoyanov). To paraphrase the authors' preface: in a good theory, it is valuable and instructive to probe the limits of what can be said by investigating what cannot be said. The task is thus well-conceived, and the execution is up to the standards one would expect from the books of the first author and of their papers. I recommend it warmly.' N. H. Bingham, Imperial College'… an excellent reference text and companion reader for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of measure theory.'

John Wiley & Sons Inc Advanced Analysis of Variance
Book SynopsisIntroducing a revolutionary new model for the statistical analysis of experimental data In this important book, internationally acclaimed statistician, Chihiro Hirotsu, goes beyond classical analysis of variance (ANOVA) model to offer a unified theory and advanced techniques for the statistical analysis of experimental data. Dr. Hirotsu introduces the groundbreaking concept of advanced analysis of variance (AANOVA) and explains how the AANOVA approach exceeds the limitations of ANOVA methods to allow for global reasoning utilizing special methods of simultaneous inference leading to individual conclusions. Focusing on normal, binomial, and categorical data, Dr. Hirotsu explores ANOVA theory and practice and reviews current developments in the field. He then introduces three new advanced approaches, namely: testing for equivalence and non-inferiority; simultaneous testing for directional (monotonic or restricted) alternatives and change-point hypotheses; and analyses emerging from caTable of ContentsPreface xi Notation and Abbreviations xvii 1 Introduction to Design and Analysis of Experiments 1 1.1 Why Simultaneous Experiments? 1 1.2 Interaction Effects 2 1.3 Choice of Factors and Their Levels 4 1.4 Classification of Factors 5 1.5 Fixed or Random Effects Model? 5 1.6 Fisher’s Three Principles of Experiments vs. Noise Factor 6 1.7 Generalized Interaction 7 1.8 Immanent Problems in the Analysis of Interaction Effects 7 1.9 Classification of Factors in the Analysis of Interaction Effects 8 1.10 Pseudo Interaction Effects (Simpson’s Paradox) in Categorical Data 8 1.11 Upper Bias by Statistical Optimization 9 1.12 Stage of Experiments: Exploratory, Explanatory or Confirmatory? 10 2 Basic Estimation Theory 11 2.1 Best Linear Unbiased Estimator 11 2.2 General Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimator 12 2.3 Efficiency of Unbiased Estimator 14 2.4 Linear Model 18 2.5 Least Squares Method 19 2.6 Maximum Likelihood Estimator 31 2.7 Sufficient Statistics 34 3 Basic Test Theory 41 3.1 Normal Mean 41 3.2 Normal Variance 53 3.3 Confidence Interval 56 3.4 Test Theory in the Linear Model 58 3.5 Likelihood Ratio Test and Efficient Score Test 62 4 Multiple Decision Processes and an Accompanying Confidence Region 71 4.1 Introduction 71 4.2 Determining the Sign of a Normal Mean – Unification of One- and Two-Sided Tests 71 4.3 An Improved Confidence Region 73 5 Two-Sample Problem 75 5.1 Normal Theory 75 5.2 Non-parametric Tests 84 5.3 Unifying Approach to Non-inferiority, Equivalence and Superiority Tests 92 6 One-Way Layout, Normal Model 113 6.1 Analysis of Variance (Overall F-Test) 113 6.2 Testing the Equality of Variances 115 6.3 Linear Score Test (Non-parametric Test) 118 6.4 Multiple Comparisons 121 6.5 Directional Tests 128 7 One-Way Layout, Binomial Populations 165 7.1 Introduction 165 7.2 Multiple Comparisons 166 7.3 Directional Tests 167 8 Poisson Process 193 8.1 Max acc. t1 for the Monotone and Step Change-Point Hypotheses 193 8.2 Max acc. t2 for the Convex and Slope Change-Point Hypotheses 197 9 Block Experiments 201 9.1 Complete Randomized Blocks 201 9.2 Balanced Incomplete Blocks 205 9.3 Non-parametric Method in Block Experiments 211 10 Two-Way Layout, Normal Model 237 10.1 Introduction 237 10.2 Overall ANOVA of Two-Way Data 238 10.3 Row-wise Multiple Comparisons 244 10.4 Directional Inference 256 10.5 Easy Method for Unbalanced Data 260 11 Analysis of Two-Way Categorical Data 273 11.1 Introduction 273 11.2 Overall Goodness-of-Fit Chi-Square 275 11.3 Row-wise Multiple Comparisons 276 11.4 Directional Inference in the Case of Natural Ordering Only in Columns 281 11.5 Analysis of Ordered Rows and Columns 291 12 Mixed and Random Effects Model 299 12.1 One-Way Random Effects Model 299 12.2 Two-Way Random Effects Model 306 12.3 Two-Way Mixed Effects Model 314 12.4 General Linear Mixed Effects Model 322 13 Profile Analysis of Repeated Measurements 329 13.1 Comparing Treatments Based on Upward or Downward Profiles 329 13.2 Profile Analysis of 24-Hour Measurements of Blood Pressure 338 14 Analysis of Three-Way Categorical Data 347 14.1 Analysis of Three-Way Response Data 348 14.2 One-Way Experiment with Two-Way Categorical Responses 361 14.3 Two-Way Experiment with One-Way Categorical Responses 375 15 Design and Analysis of Experiments by Orthogonal Arrays 383 15.1 Experiments by Orthogonal Array 383 15.2 Ordered Categorical Responses in a Highly Fractional Experiment 393 15.3 Optimality of an Orthogonal Array 397 References 399 Appendix 401 Index 407

John Wiley & Sons Inc Generalizations of Cyclostationary Signal
Book SynopsisThe relative motion between the transmitter and the receiver modifies the nonstationarity properties of the transmitted signal. In particular, the almost-cyclostationarity property exhibited by almost all modulated signals adopted in communications, radar, sonar, and telemetry can be transformed into more general kinds of nonstationarity. A proper statistical characterization of the received signal allows for the design of signal processing algorithms for detection, estimation, and classification that significantly outperform algorithms based on classical descriptions of signals.Generalizations of Cyclostationary Signal Processingaddresses these issues and includes the following key features: Presents the underlying theoretical framework, accompanied by details of their practical application, for the mathematical models of generalized almost-cyclostationary processes and spectrally correlated processes; two classes of signals finding growing importance in areas sTrade Review“This book is written both for advanced readers with the background of graduate students in engineering and for specialists (e.g.,

Single Variable Essential Calculus
Book SynopsisThis book is for instructors who think that most calculus textbooks are too long. In writing the book, James Stewart asked himself: What is essential for a three-semester calculus course for scientists and engineers? SINGLE VARIABLE ESSENTIAL CALCULUS, Second Edition, offers a concise approach to teaching calculus that focuses on major concepts, and supports those concepts with precise definitions, patient explanations, and carefully graded problems. The book is only 550 pages--two-fifths the size of Stewart's other calculus texts (CALCULUS, Seventh Edition and CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS, Seventh Edition) and yet it contains almost all of the same topics. The author achieved this relative brevity primarily by condensing the exposition and by putting some of the features on the book's website, www.StewartCalculus.com. Despite the more compact size, the book has a modern flavor, covering technology and incorporating material to promote conceptual understanding, though not as promineTable of Contents1.

Johns Hopkins University Press Understanding Topology
Book SynopsisA fresh approach to topology makes this complex topic easier for students to master. Topologythe branch of mathematics that studies the properties of spaces that remain unaffected by stretching and other distortionscan present significant challenges for undergraduate students of mathematics and the sciences. Understanding Topology aims to change that. The perfect introductory topology textbook, Understanding Topology requires only a knowledge of calculus and a general familiarity with set theory and logic. Equally approachable and rigorous, the book's clear organization, worked examples, and concise writing style support a thorough understanding of basic topological principles. Professor Shaun V. Ault's unique emphasis on fascinating applications, from mapping DNA to determining the shape of the universe, will engage students in a way traditional topology textbooks do not. This groundbreaking new text: presents Euclidean, abstract, and basic algebraic topology explains metric topTrade ReviewA perfect introductory topology textbook, Understanding Topology requires only a knowledge of calculus and a general familiarity with set theory and logic. Equally approachable and rigorous, the textbook's clear organization, worked examples, and concise writing style support a thorough understanding of basic topological principles, and might reasonably be expected to become a standard reference for teaching backgrounds of topology in the years to come.—Marek Golasinski (Olsztyn), Zentralblatt MathA useful book for undergraduates, with the initial introduction to concepts being at the level of intuition and analogy, followed by mathematical rigour.—John Bartlett CMath MIMA, Mathematics TodayTable of ContentsPrefaceI Euclidean Topology1.

A reader can find a lot of problems for independent study as well as a lot of illustrations encouraging him/her to draw pictures as an important part of the process of mathematical thinking.”—European Mathematical Society, September 2011"Several areas like sets, functions, sequences and convergence are dealt with and several exercises and projects are provided for deepening the understanding. …It is the impression of the author of this review that the book can be particularly strongly recommended for teacher students to enable them to catch and transfer the “essence” of mathematical thinking to their pupils. But also everybody else interested in mathematics will enjoy this very well written book.—Burkhard Alpers (Aalen), zbMATH“The book is primarily concerned with an exposition of those parts of mathematics in which students need a more thorough grounding before they can work successfully in upper-division undergraduate courses. … a mathematically-conventional but pedagogically-innovative take on transition courses.” —Allen Stenger, The Mathematical Association of America, September, 2011Table of Contents-Preface. -1.
