Hardback. Condition: Good. Our society is churning out more numbers than ever before, whether in the form of spreadsheets, brokerage statements, survey results, or just the numbers on the sports pages. Unfortunately, people's ability to understand and analyze numbers isn't keeping pace with today's whizzing data streams. And the benefits of living in the Information Age are available only to those who can process the information in front of them. What the Numbers Say offers remedies to this national problem. Through a series of witty and engaging discussions, the authors introduce original quantitative concepts, skills, and habits that reduce even the most daunting numerical challenges to simple, bite-sized pieces. Why do the nutritional values on a Cheerios box appear different in Canada than in the U.S.? How is it that top-performing mutual funds often lose money for the majority of their shareholders? Why was the scoring system for Olympic figure skating doomed even without biased judges? By anchoring their discussions in real-world scenarios, Derrick Niederman and David Boyum show that skilled quantitative thinking involves old-fashioned logic, not advanced mathematical tools. Useful in an endless number of situations, What the Numbers Say is the practical guide to navigating today's data-rich world. From the Hardcover edition.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Partial differential equations are the chief means of providing mathematical models in science, engineering and other fields. Generally these models must be solved numerically. This book provides a concise introduction to standard numerical techniques, ones chosen on the basis of their general utility for practical problems. The authors emphasise finite difference methods for simple examples of parabolic, hyperbolic and elliptic equations; finite element, finite volume and spectral methods are discussed briefly to see how they relate to the main theme. Stability is treated clearly and rigorously using maximum principles, energy methods, and discrete Fourier analysis. Methods are described in detail for simple problems, accompanied by typical graphical results. A key feature is the thorough analysis of the properties of these methods. Plenty of examples and exercises of varying difficulty are supplied. The book is based on the extensive teaching experience of the authors, who are also well-known for their work on practical and theoretical aspects of numerical analysis. It will be an excellent choice for students and teachers in mathematics, engineering and computer science departments seeking a concise introduction to the subject.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. Numerical Recipes: The Art of Scientific Computing was first published in 1986 and became an instant classic among scientists, engineers, and social scientists. In this book the original, time-tested programs have been completely reworked into a clear, consistent Pascal style. This represents a significant improvement to the immensely successful programs contained in the first edition, which were originally written in Fortran. The authors make extensive use of pointers, dynamic memory allocation, and other features utilized by this language. The explanatory text accompanying the programs replicates the lucid, and easy-to-read prose found in the original version, and incorporates corrections, improvements, and explanations of special Pascal features. The product of a unique collaboration among four leading scientists in academic research and industry, Numerical Recipes in Pascal fills a long-recognized need for a practical, comprehensive handbook of scientific computing in the Pascal language. The book is designed both for the Pascal programmer who wants exposure to the techniques of scientific computing, and for the working scientist, social scientist, and engineer. The scope of the book ranges from standard areas of numerical analysis (linear algebra, differential equations, roots) through subjects useful to signal processing (Fourier methods, filtering), data analysis (least squares, robust fitting, statistical functions), simulation (random deviates and Monte Carlo), and more. The lively, informal text combined with an underlying degree of mathematical sophistication makes the book useful to a wide range of readers, beginning at the advanced undergraduate level.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Most training in numerical control today is done on-the-job. Machinists and machine operators learn how to run CNC machines from more experienced machinists who show them techniques for operating, setting up and programming. These techniques are introduced in a logical sequence; this book attempts to parallel that method as much as possible. Information is first provided on how to operate a machine, and then how to program it, so that much of the initial bewilderment that occurs when learning numerical control is eliminated. This introductory CNC text is positioned for use in hands-on training situations, emphasizing CNC tooling and set-up, entry-level programming, and industry standard controls and programmes.…
