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 ... -
Thermodynamics and Energy Conversion
(Springer, 2014)This textbook grew out of lecture notes for the thermodynamics courses offered in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Victoria. Writing my own notes forced me to thoroughly consider how, in my ... -
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 ... -
The Action Research Planner
(Springer, 2014)that began in 1979 with a modestly produced version for education students at Deakin University in Geelong Australia. A course was offered as part of an ‘upgrading’ Bachelor of Education degree designed for practising ... -
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 ... -
International Trade Theory and Policy
(Springer, 2014)There is no lack of good international economics textbooks ranging from the elementary to the advanced, so that an additional drop in this ocean calls for an explanation. In the present writer’s opinion, there seems still ... -
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 ... -
Foundations for Designing User-Centered Systems
(Springer, 2014)Many books on user centered design and HCI focus on the way people interact with technology. This is an important issue, because people routinely interact with technology on a daily basis—personal computers, mobile phones, ... -
Data Analysis

Understanding Statistics Using R
(Springer, 2013)This book was written as a supplemental text for use with introductory or intermediate statistics books. The content of each chapter is appropriate for any undergraduate or graduate level statistics course. The chapters ... -
Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gases
(Springer, 2014)Air emissions include air pollution emissions and greenhouse gas emissions. Effective air emission control requires multidisciplinary expertise in engineering, education, physics, chemistry, mathematics, medical science, ... -
Probability Theory
(Springer, 2013)It is customary to set the origins of Probability Theory at the 17th century and relate them to combinatorial problems of games of chance. The latter can hardly be considered a serious occupation. However, it is games ... -
Fatigue of Structures and Materials
(Springer, 2009)Fatigue of structures and materials covers a wide scope of different topics. The purpose of the present book is to explain these topics, to indicate how they can be analyzed, and how this can contribute to the designing of ... -
Conferencing and Presentation English for Young Academics
(Springer, 2018)This book can be used in various ways. It can be read as a basic academic overview of the burgeoning genre of conferencing English or as a textbook for those studying applied linguistics. It can be used as training ... -
Plant Physiology, Development and Metabolism
(Springer, 2018)Plants serve as a source for sustainable food and biofuel and also play crucial roles in maintaining human health and ecosystem. Thus, it becomes imperative to understand the mechanisms of plant growth and development. ... -
Control Engineering
(Springer, 2019)“Navigare necesse est”, i.e., the ship must be navigated, said the Romans in Antiquity. “Controlare necesse est”, i.e. systems must be controlled, we have been saying since the technological revolution of the nineteenth ...
