Advanced Organic Chemistry
(Springer, 2007)This Fifth Edition marks the beginning of the fourth decade that Advanced Organic Chemistry has been available. As with the previous editions, the goal of this text is to allow students to build on the foundation of ... -
Advanced Organic Chemistry
(Springer, 2007)The methods of organic synthesis have continued to advance rapidly and we have made an effort to reflect those advances in this Fifth Edition. Among the broad areas that have seen major developments are enantioselective ... -
Introductory Statistics with R
(Springer, 2008)R is a statistical computer program made available through the Internet under the General Public License (GPL). That is, it is supplied with a licensethatallowsyoutouseitfreely,distributeit,orevensellit,aslongas the receiver ... -
Group Theory
(Springer, 2008)Symmetry can be seen as the most basic and important concept in physics. Momentum conservation is a consequence of translational symmetry of space. More generally, every process in physics is governed by selection rules ... -
Plant Physiological Ecology
(Springer, 2008)Plant ecophysiology is an experimental science that seeks to describe the physiological mechanisms underlying ecological observations. In other words, ecophysiologists, or physiological ecologists, address ecological ... -
Computational Geometry
(Springer, 2008)Computational geometry emerged from the field of algorithms design and analysis in the late 1970s. It has grown into a recognized discipline with its own journals, conferences, and a large community of active researchers. ... -
Clinical Neuroanatomy: A Neurobehavioral Approach
(Springer, 2008)A major focus of clinical neuropsychology and cognitive-behavioral neurology is the assessment and management of cognitive and behavioral changes that result from brain injury or disease. In most instances, the task of ... -
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 ... -
Introductory Time Series with R
(Springer, 2009)R has a command line interface that offers considerable advantages over menu systems in terms of efficiency and speed once the commands are known and the language understood. However, the command line system can be ... -
Understanding Cryptography
(Springer, 2010)Cryptography has crept into everything, from Web browsers and e-mail programs to cell phones, bank cards, cars and even into medical implants. In the near future we will see many new exciting applications for cryptography ... -
Reading, Writing, and Proving
(Springer, 2011)You are probably about to teach or take a “first course in proof techniques,” or maybe you just want to learn more about mathematics. No matter what the reason, a student who wishes to learn the material in this book ... -
Statistical Analysis of Clinical Data on a Pocket Calculator
(Springer, 2011)The time that statistical analyses, including analysis of variance and regression analyses, were analyzed by statistical laboratory workers, has gone for good, thanks to the availability of user-friendly statistical ... -
Computer Vision
(Springer, 2011)The seeds for this book were first planted in 2001 when Steve Seitz at the University ofWashington invited me to co-teach a course called “Computer Vision for Computer Graphics”. At that time, computer vision techniques ... -
Plate Tectonics
(Springer, 2011)In the late 1960’s, Wegener’s theory of continental drift , originally conceived fi ft y years earlier, was merged with the theory of plate tectonics and the concepts gained global acceptance among geoscientists. For ... -
The Algorithm Design Manual
(Springer, 2012)Most professional programmers that I’ve encountered are not well prepared to tackle algorithm design problems. This is a pity, because the techniques of algorithm design form one of the core practical technologies of ... -
Stellar Structure and Evolution
(Springer, 2012)The attempt to understand the physics of the structure of stars and their change in time – their evolution – has been bothering many physicists and astronomers ever since the last century. This long chain of successful ... -
Electrochemistry
(Springer, 2012)The emerging constraints related to energy production, which are already shaking our economies, will undoubtedly increase. Our societies will not only have to produce the tens of terawatts of energy they require while ... -
Ordinary Differential Equations
(Springer, 2012)This text is intended for the introductory three- or four-hour one-semester sophomore level differential equations course traditionally taken by students majoring in science or engineering. The prerequisite is the standard ... -
Quantum Mechanics
(Springer, 2012)The preparation of another edition of a text on quantum mechanics is always a challenge. On the one hand, one may decide to cover some previously omitted topics, after gauging again their relevance. On the other hand, ... -
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 ...
