Item description from seller

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This textbook provides students with a solid introduction to the techniques of approximation commonly used in data analysis across physics andastronomy. The choice of methods included is based on their usefulness and educational value, their applicability to a broad range of problemsand their utility in highlighting key mathematical concepts. Modern astronomy reveals an evolving universe rife with transient sources,mostly discovered - few predicted - in multi-wavelength observations. Our window of observations now includes electromagnetic radiation, gravitational waves andneutrinos. For the practicing astronomer, these are highly interdisciplinary developments that pose a novel challenge to be well-versed in astroparticlephysics and data-analysis.The book is organized to be largely self-contained, starting from basic concepts and techniques in the formulation of problems and methods of approximation commonlyused in computation and numerical analysis. This includes root finding, integration, signal detection algorithms involving the Fourier transform andexamples of numerical integration of ordinary differential equations and some illustrative aspects of modern computational implementation.Some of the topics highlighted introduce the reader to selected problems with comments on numerical methods and implementation on modern platforms includingCPU-GPU computing.Developed from lectures on mathematical physics in astronomy to advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students, this book will be a valuable guide forstudents and a useful reference for practicing researchers. To aid understanding, exercises are included at the end of each chapter. Furthermore, some of theexercises are tailored to introduce modern symbolic computation. 360 pp. Englisch.
