Applied Linear Algebra
(Springer, 2018)Applied mathematics rests on two central pillars: calculus and linear algebra. While calculus has its roots in the universal laws of Newtonian physics, linear algebra arises from a much more mundane issue: the need to ... -
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 ... -
Applied Partial Differential Equations
(Springer, 2015)The goal of this new edition is the same as that for the original, namely, to present a one-semester treatment of the basic ideas encountered in partial differential equations (PDEs). The text is designed for a 3-credit ... -
Applied Predictive Modeling
(Springer, 2013)This is a book on data analysis with a specific focus on the practice of predictive modeling. The term predictive modeling may stir associations such as machine learning, pattern recognition, and data mining. Indeed, ... -
Automata and Computability
(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 ... -
Basic Concepts in Computational Physics
(Springer, 2016)Traditionally physics is divided into two fields of activities: theoretical and experimental. As a consequence of the stunning increase in computer power and of the development of more powerful numerical techniques, a ... -
Basics of Laser Physics
(Springer, 2017)Observation of a gravitational wave is the most spectacular recent application of a laser (published in Physical Review Letters, February 2016). Four Nobel Prizes in the last four years for achievements in physics and ... -
Bayesian and Frequentist Regression Methods
(Springer, 2013)The past 25 years have seen great advances in both Bayesian and frequentist methods for data analysis. The most significant advance for the Bayesian approach has been the development of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods ... -
Bayesian Essentials with R
(Springer, 2014)The purpose of this book is to provide a self-contained entry into practical and computational Bayesian statistics using generic examples from the most common models for a class duration of about seven blocks that roughly ... -
A Beginner’s Guide to R
(Springer, 2009)Since 2000,we have taught statistics to over 5000 life scientists. This sounds a lot, and indeed it is, but with some classes of 200 undergraduate students, numbers accumulate rapidly (although some courses have involved ... -
A Beginner’s Guide to Scala, Object Orientation and Functional Programming
(Springer, 2018)This book is intended as an introduction to Scala for computer science students or those actively involved in the software industry. It assumes some familiarity with standard computing concepts, such as the idea of ... -
Bioinformatics for Evolutionary Biologists
(Springer, 2018)Evolutionary biologists have two types of ancestors: naturalists such as Charles Darwin (1809–1892) and theoreticians such as Ronald A. Fisher (1890–1962). The intellectual descendants of these two scientists have ... -
Biomedical Informatics
(Springer, 2014)The world of biomedical research and health care has changed remarkably in the 25 years since the fi rst edition of this book was undertaken. So too has the world of computing and communications and thus the underlying ... -
Brownian Motion, Martingales, and Stochastic Calculus
(Springer, 2016)This book originates from lecture notes for an introductory course on stochastic calculus taught as part of the master’s program in probability and statistics at Université Pierre et Marie Curie and then at Université ... -
Calculus With Applications
(Springer, 2014)Our purpose in writing a calculus text has been to help students learn at first hand that mathematics is the language in which scientific ideas can be precisely formulated, that science is a source of mathematical ideas ... -
Cardiovascular Biomechanics
(Springer, 2017)This book is concerned with cardiovascular biomechanics; this is the study of the function and the structure of the cardiovascular system using the methods of mechanics. It has become clear that this area lies at the ... -
Chemical Thermodynamics
(Springer, 2012)According to an anecdote, the German physicist Arnold Sommerfeld said the following in the 1940s: “Thermodynamics is a funny subject. The first time you go through it, you don’t understand it at all. The second time you ... -
Classical Fourier Analysis
(Springer, 2014)The great response to the publication of my book Classical and Modern Fourier Analysis in 2004 has been especially gratifying to me. I was delighted when Springer offered to publish the second edition in 2008 in two ... -
Climate Change Science: A Modern Synthesis
(Springer, 2013)This textbook, Climate Change Science : A Modern Synthesis, Volume I: The Physical Climate , is intended for the introductory college science student who perhaps has not had a science course since secondary or preparatory ... -
Clinical Data Analysis on a Pocket Calculator
(Springer, 2016)The time that statistical analyses, including analysis of variance and regression analyses, were analyzed by statistical analysts has gone for good, thanks to the availability of user-friendly statistical software. The ...
