David Poole's innovative LINEAR ALGEBRA: A MODERN INTRODUCTION, 4e emphasizes a vectors approach and better prepares students to make the transition from computational to theoretical mathematics. Balancing theory and applications, the book is written in a conversational style and combines a traditional presentation with a focus on student-centered learning. Theoretical, computational, and applied topics are presented in a flexible yet integrated way.

Introduces aspiring and practicing actuaries, engineers, computer scientists and others to the practical aspects of constructing computerized simulation studies to analyze and interpret real phenomena. This title presents the statistics needed to analyze simulated data as well as that needed for validating the simulation model.

CALCULUS, Metric, 9th Edition, provides you with the strongest foundation for a STEM future. James Stewart's Calculus, Metric series is the top-seller in the world because of its problem-solving focus, mathematical precision and accuracy, and outstanding examples and problem sets. Selected and mentored by Stewart, Daniel Clegg and Saleem Watson continue his legacy and their careful refinements retain Stewart's clarity of exposition and make the 9th Edition an even more usable learning tool.

This textbook is an introduction to probability theory with the right balance between mathematical precision, probabilistic intuition, and concrete applications. It is intended for students with a calculus background, as well as for independent learners and readers. The material is covered precisely, while avoiding excessive technical details.

The latest tools for analysis and design of advanced GNC systems

Handbook of Marine Craft Hydrodynamics and Motion Control is an extensive study of the latest research in hydrodynamics, guidance, navigation, and control systems for marine craft. The text establishes how the implementation of mathematical models and modern control theory can be used for simulation and verification of control systems, decision-support systems, and situational awareness systems. Coverage includes hydrodynamic mo...

A re-issued edition of this well-known optics textbook. Designed for intermediate and upper level undergraduates in physics and engineering, the third edition covers the traditional areas of optics whilst including modern applications.

This book is a one-semester text for an introduction to real analysis. The author's primary aims are to develop ideas already familiar from elementary calculus in a rigorous manner and to help students deeply understand some basic but crucial mathematical ideas. Meets and aligns with various student backgrounds Pays explicit attention to basic formalities and technical language Contains varied problems and exercises Drives the narrative through questions

Moleculen vind je letterlijk overal. Ze vormen alles om ons heen en zelf bestaan we ook uit deze superkleine bouwstenen. In dit boek bespreken Nobelprijswinnaar Ben Feringa en collegachemicus Anouk Lubbe de belangrijkste moleculen uit onze directe omgeving. Zo lezen we over moleculen in onze kleding, over stoffen in frisdranken, over aminozuren in ons lichaam, over de wonderbaarlijke kwaliteiten van grafeen, over moleculen waar we dronken, vrolijk of juist ziek van worden, over het synthetisc...
