    • 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 ...
    • Differential Equations and Their Applications 

      Braun, Martin (Springer, 1993)
      Mathematics is playing an ever more important role in the physical and biological sciences, provoking a blurring of boundaries between scientific disciplines and a resurgence of interest in the modern as weil as the ...
    • Probability 

      Pitman, Jim (Springer, 1993)
      This is a text for a one-quarter or one-semester course in probability, aimed at students who have done a year of calculus. The book is organized so a student can learn the fundamental ideas of probability from the first ...
    • Principles of Quantum Mechanics 

      Shankar, R. (Springer, 1994)
      Over the decade and a half since I wrote the first edition, nothing has altered my belief in the soundness of the overall approach taken here. This is based on the response of teachers, students, and my own occasional ...
    • Transmission Electron Microscopy 

      Williams, David B. (Springer, 1996)
      How is this book any different from the many other books that deal with TEM? It has several unique features, but the most distinguishing one, we believe, is that it can really be described as a "textbook"-that is, one ...
    • 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 ...
    • Human Chromosomes 

      Miller, Orlando J.; Therman, Eeva (Springer, 2000)
      This book presents a comprehensive introduction to the principles of human cytogenetics and provides examples of their applications, especially those that are important in diagnostic and preventive medicine. The authors ...
    • Principles of Polymer Chemistry 

      Ravve, A. (Springer, 2000)
      This book, unlike the first and second editions, is primarily aimed to be a textbook for a graduate course in polymer chemistry and a reference book for practicing polymer chemists. The first and second editions, on the ...
    • Fundamentals of Power Electronics 

      Erickson, Robert W.; Maksimovic, Dragan (Springer, 2000)
      The objective of the First Edition was to serve as a textbook for introductory power electronics courses where the fundamentals of power electronics are defined, rigorously presented, and treated in sufficient depth so ...
    • 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, ...
    • Handbook of Sociological Theory 

      Turner, Jonathan H. (Springer, 2001)
      One of the most obvious trends in sociology over the last 30 years is differentiation of substantive specialties. What is true in the discipline as a whole is particularly evident in sociological theory. Where once there ...
    • Integrated Neuroscience 

      Marcus, Elliott M.; Jacobson, Stanley (Springer, 2002)
      This textbook takes as a premise that, in order to make intelligent diagnosis and provide a rational treatment in disorders of the nervous system, it is necessary to develop the capacity to answer the basic questions of ...
    • Algebra 

      Lang, Serge (Springer, 2002)
      As I see it, the graduate course in algebra must primarily prepare students to handle the algebra which they will meet in all of mathematics: topology, partial differential equations, differential geometry, algebraic ...
    • Handbook of the Life Course 

      Mortimer, Jeylan T.; Shanahan, Michael J. (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2003)
      The development of the life course as a field of study parallels in some respects another prominent subfield of sociology, social psychology. In his now-classic assessment, House (1977) observed that social psychology’s ...
    • Discrete Mathenlatics 

      Lovasz, L.; Pelikan, J.; vesztergombi, K. (Springer, 2003)
      For most students, the first and often only course in college mathematics is calculus. It is true that calculus is the single most important field of mathematics, whose emergence in the seventeenth century signaled ...
    • All of Statistics 

      Wassennan, Larry (Springer, 2004)
      Taken literally, the title "All of Statistics" is an exaggeration. But in spirit, the title is apt, as the book does cover a much broader range of topics than a typical introductory book on mathematical statistics. This ...
    • 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 ...
    • New Introduction to Multiple Time Series Analysis 

      Lütkepohl, Helmut (Springer, 2005)
      When I worked on my Introduction to Multiple Time Series Analysis (Lu¨tkepohl (1991)), a suitable textbook for this field was not available. Given the great importance these methods have gained in applied econometric ...

    • DEVELOPMENTAL NEUROBIOLOGY 

      RAO, MAHENDRA S.; JACOBSON, MARCUS (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2005)
      As subsequent chapters will describe, the vertebrate nervous system is necessarily complex. However, this belies its humble beginnings, segregating relatively early as a plate of cells in the dorsal ectoderm of the ...
