Holt's Linear Algebra with Applications, Second Edition, blends computational and conceptual topics throughout to prepare students for the rigors of conceptual thinking in an abstract setting. The early treatment of conceptual topics in the context of Euclidean space gives students more time, and a familiar setting, in which to absorb them. This organization also makes it possible to treat eigenvalues and eigenvectors earlier than in most texts. Abstract vector spaces are introduced later, on...

A pocket edition of Darwin's classic work of evolutionary biology.

Oxford University astrophysicist Dr Becky Smethurst presents what you need to know about the universe in ten beautifully crafted essays for people short on time.

In Houtstromen ontrafelt Paul Borghaerts de herkomst van hout, dat gebruikt werd in Noord-Nederland gedurende de periode van 1600 tot 1950 om boerderijen te bouwen. De auteur ontdekte dat de herkomst van het hout in de loop van de jaren steeds verschoof, waardoor er negen belangrijke herkomstgebieden en perioden zijn aan te wijzen. De nieuwe inzichten verklaren onder meer de veranderingen in de landbouw en de grote invloed op de economische groei in heel Nederland. Voor zijn unieke onderzoek ...

Science is a serious business, right? Wrong.

Scientists have been participants in the best reality show of all time, with all the highs, lows, bust-ups, and strange personalities of any show on telly today. From Luke O'Neill - the science teacher you wish you'd had - this hugely accessible history of science reveals the human stories behind the biggest discoveries.

For example, we meet Charles Darwin as he weighs up the pros and cons of marrying his cousin: 'constant companion' vs 'less money...

This book builds theoretical statistics from the first principles of probability theory. Starting from the basics of probability, the authors develop the theory of statistical inference using techniques, definitions, and concepts that are statistical and are natural extensions and consequences of previous concepts. Intended for first-year graduate students, this book can be used for students majoring in statistics who have a solid mathematics background.

It can also be used in a way that stre...

Previous editions of this popular textbook offered an accessible and practical introduction to numerical analysis. An Introduction to Numerical Methods: A MATLAB (R) Approach, Fourth Edition continues to present a wide range of useful and important algorithms for scientific and engineering applications. The authors use MATLAB to illustrate each numerical method, providing full details of the computed results so that the main steps are easily visualized and interpreted.
