 Free Download Mathematical Reflections: In a Room with Many Mirrors by Peter Hilton , Derek Holton , Jean Pedersen English | PDF | 1997 | 367 Pages | ISBN : 0387947701 | 27.8 MB Focusing Your Attention The purpose of this book is Cat least) twofold. First, we want to show you what mathematics is, what it is about, and how it is done-by those who do it successfully. We are, in fact, trying to give effect to what we call, in Section 9.3, our basic principle of mathematical instruction, asserting that "mathematics must be taught so that students comprehend how and why mathematics is qone by those who do it successfully./I However, our second purpose is quite as important. We want to attract you-and, through you, future readers-to mathematics. There is general agreement in the (so-called) civilized world that mathematics is important, but only a very small minority of those who make contact with mathematics in their early education would describe it as delightful. We want to correct the false impression of mathematics as a combination of skill and drudgery, and to re inforce for our readers a picture of mathematics as an exciting, stimulating and engrossing activity; as a world of accessible ideas rather than a world of incomprehensible techniques; as an area of continued interest and investigation and not a set of procedures set in stone.  Free Download Mathematical Problems in Wave Propagation Theory by V. M. Babich English | PDF | 1970 | 109 Pages | ISBN : 1475703368 | 9.1 MB The papers comprising this collection are directly or indirectly related to an important branch of mathematical physics - the mathematical theory of wave propagation and diffraction. The paper by V. M. Babich is concerned with the application of the parabolic-equation method (of Academician V. A. Fok and M. A, Leontovich) to the problem of the asymptotic behavior of eigenfunc tions concentrated in a neighborhood of a closed geodesie in a Riemannian space. The techniques used in this paper have been föund useful in solving certain problems in the theory of open resonators. The topic of G. P. Astrakhantsev's paper is similar to that of the paper by V. M. Babich. Here also the parabolic-equation method is used to find the asymptotic solution of the elasticity equations which describes Love waves concentrated in a neighborhood of some surface ray. The paper of T. F. Pankratova is concerned with finding the asymptotic behavior of th~ eigenfunc tions of the Laplace operator from the exact solution for the surface of a triaxial ellipsoid and the re gion exterior to it. The first three papers of B. G. Nikolaev are somewhat apart from the central theme of the col lection; they treat the integral transforms with respect to associated Legendre functions of first kind and their applications. Examples of such applications are the use of this transform for the solution of integral equations with symmetrie kernels and for the solution of certain problems in the theory of electrical prospecting.  Free Download Mathematical Models: From the Collections of Universities and Museums - Photograph Volume and Commentary by Gerd Fischer English/Deutsch | PDF (True) | 2017 | 228 Pages | ISBN : 3658188642 | 169.5 MB This book presents beautiful photos of mathematical models of geometric surfaces made from a variety of materials including plaster, metal, paper, wood, and string. The construction of these models at the time (of Felix Klein and others) was not an end in itself, but was accompanied by mathematical research especially in the field of algebraic geometry. The models were used to illustrate the mathematical objects defined by abstract formulas, either as equations or parameterizations. In the second part of the book, the models are explained by experts in the field of geometry.  Free Download Mathematical Modeling for Women's Health: Collaborative Workshop for Women in Mathematical Biology by Ashlee N. Ford Versypt, Rebecca A. Segal, Suzanne S. Sindi English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 241 Pages | ISBN : 3031585151 | 49.5 MB The purpose of this work is to focus mathematical modeling on issues affecting women's health. Working in six collaborative teams, researchers developed new mathematical models to address questions in a range of application areas. Topics include HIV, oral contraceptives, blood clotting, breast cancer, neonatal respiration, and outbreak forecasting. The work is the result of newly formed collaborative groups begun during the Collaborative Workshop for Women in Mathematical Biology hosted by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and UnitedHealth Group Optum in June 2022.  Free Download Mathematical Methods in Risk Theory by Hans Bühlmann English | PDF | 1970 | 218 Pages | ISBN : 3540051171 | 7.5 MB From the reviews: "The huge literature in risk theory has been carefully selected and supplemented by personal contributions of the author, many of which appear here for the first time. The result is a systematic and very readable book, which takes into account the most recent developments of the field. It will be of great interest to the actuary as well as to the statistician who wants to become familiar with the subject." Math. Reviews Vol. 43  Free Download Mathematical Methods in Liquid Crystal Optics and Lens Design by Eric Stachura English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 284 Pages | ISBN : 3031466136 | 30.7 MB Freeform lens design has numerous applications in imaging, aerospace, and biomedicine. Due to recent advancements in precision cutting and grinding, the manufacturing of freeform optical lenses with very high precision is now possible. However, there is still a significant lack of mathematical literature on the subject, and essentially none related to liquid crystals. Liquid crystals are appealing for use in imaging due to their flexibility and unique electro-optical properties.  Free Download Mathematical Advances Towards Sustainable Environmental Systems by James N. Furze, Kelly Swing, Anil K. Gupta, Richard H. McClatchey, Darren M. Reynolds English | PDF (True) | 2017 | 355 Pages | ISBN : 3319439006 | 7.5 MB This edited volume focuses on how we can protect our environment and enhance environmental sustainability when faced with changes and pressures imposed by our expansive needs. The volume unites multiple subject areas within sustainability, enabling the techniques and philosophy in the chapters to be applied to research areas in environmental science, plant sciences, energy, biodiversity and conservation. The chapters from expert contributors cover topics such as mathematical modelling tools used to monitor diversity of plant species, and the stability of ecosystem services such as biogeochemical cycling. Empirical research presented here also brings together mathematical developments in the important fields of robotics including kinematics, dynamics, path planning, control, vision, and swarmanoids.  Free Download Math!: Encounters with High School Students by Serge Lang English | PDF | 1985 | 146 Pages | ISBN : 0387961291 | 9.5 MB [/b]  Free Download Math Talks for Undergraduates by Serge Lang English | PDF | 1999 | 129 Pages | ISBN : 0387987495 | 8.8 MB For many years Serge Lang has given talks to undergraduates on selected items in mathematics which could be extracted at a level understandable by students who have had calculus. Written in a conversational tone, Lang now presents a collection of those talks as a book. The talks could be given by faculty, but even better, they may be given by students in seminars run by the students themselves. Undergraduates, and even some high school students, will enjoy the talks which cover prime numbers, the abc conjecture, approximation theorems of analysis, Bruhat-Tits spaces, harmonic and symmetric polynomials, and more in a lively and informal style.  Free Download Materials and Electro-mechanical and Biomedical Devices Based on Nanofibers by Alexander L. Yarin , Filippo Pierini , Eyal Zussman , Marco Lauricella English | EPUB (True) | 2024 | 344 Pages | ISBN : 303148438X | 141.6 MB The book is interwoven according to the intrinsic logics of modern most important applications of electrospun nanofibers. It discusses such application-oriented nanofibers as self-healing vascular nanotextured materials, biopolymer nanofibers, soft robots and actuators based on nanofibers, biopolymer nanofiber-based triboelectric nanogenerators, metallized nanofibers, and heaters and sensors based on them. It also includes such topics as the injectable nanofibrous biomaterials, fibrous hemostatic agents and their interaction with blood, as well as electrospun nanofibers for face-mask applications. The book also details polyelectrolytes-based complex nanofibers and their use as actuators. It also covers drug release facilitated by polyelectrolytes-based complex nanofibers. |
