Please be sure to include them in your new books orders.Business, Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics are all inter-related with each other. You cannot think of business and economics without thinking of numbers. See, for instance, the major reference work Complex Systems in Finance and Econometrics. Statistics are used in busi-ness, but are also a useful tool in analyzing any subject, like Time Series Analysis and Its Applica-tions. Mathematics, when applied to other disciplines, becomes an integral part of them. Take a look at Dynamics, Games and Science.The titles in this catalog are certainly relevant to many readers. So take a look at these and other new titles now, and consider adding them to your own library!

Mineral Resources Science and Technology in China: A Roadmap to 2050As one of the eighteen field-specific reports comprising the comprehensive scope of the strategic general report of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this sub-report addresses long-range planning for developing science and technology in the field of mineral resources science. They each craft a roadmap for their sphere of develop-ment to 2050. In their entirety, the general and sub-group reports analyze the evolution and laws governing the development of science and tech-nology, describe the decisive impact of science and technology on the modernization process, predict that the world is on the eve of an impending S&T revolution, and call for China to be fully prepared for this new round of S&T advancement. Based on the detailed study of the demands on S&T innova-tion in China’s modernization, the reports draw a framework for eight basic and strategic systems of socio-economic development with the support of science and technology, work out China’s S&T roadmaps for the relevant eight basic and strategic systems in line with China’s reality, further detail S&T initiatives of strategic importance to China’s modernization, and provide S&T decision-makers with comprehensive consultations for the develop-ment of S&T innovation consistent with China’s reality.

Sketch-based Interfaces and ModelingThe field of sketch-based interfaces and modeling (SBIM) is concerned with developing methods and techniques to enable users to interact with a computer through sketching - a simple, yet highly expressive medium. SBIM blends concepts from computer graphics, human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. Recent improvements in hardware, coupled with new machine learning techniques for more accurate recognition, and more robust depth inferencing techniques for sketch-based modeling, have resulted in an explosion of both sketch-based inter-faces and pen-based computing devices.

Musical PerformanceA Comprehensive Approach: Theory, Analytical Tools, and Case Studies

This book is a first sketch of what the overall field of performance could look like as a modern scientific field but not its stylistically differentiated practice, pedagogy, and history. Musical performance is the most complex field of music. It comprises the study of a composition’s expression in terms of analysis, emotion, and gesture, and then its transforma-tion into embodied reality, turning formulaic facts into dramatic movements of human cognition. Combining these components in a creative way is a sophisticated mix of knowledge and mastery, which more resembles the cooking of a delicate recipe than a rational procedure. This book is the first one aiming at such comprehensive coverage of the topic, and it does so also as a university text book. We include musicological and philosophical aspects as well as empirical performance research.

A Science of Operations examines the history of what we now call programming, defined not simply as computer programming, but more broadly as the definition of the steps involved in computations and other information-processing activities. This unique perspective highlights how the history of programming is distinct from the history of the computer, despite the close relationship between the two in the 20th century.

Geometry of Algebraic CurvesVolume II with a contribution by Joseph Daniel Harris

The second volume of the Geometry of Alge-braic Curves is devoted to the foundations of the theory of moduli of algebraic curves. Its authors are research mathematicians who have actively participated in the development of the Geometry of Algebraic Curves. The subject is an extremely fertile and active one, both within the mathematical community and at the interface with the theoretical physics community. The approach is unique in its blending of algebro-geometric, complex analytic and topological/combinatorial methods.

Wavelets and Multiscale AnalysisTheory and Applications

Since its emergence as an important research area in the early 1980s, the topic of wavelets has under-gone tremendous development on both theoretical and applied fronts. Myriad research and survey papers and monographs have been published on the subject, documenting different areas of applications such as sound and image processing, denoising, data compression, tomography, and medical imaging. The study of wavelets remains a very active field of research, and many of its central techniques and ideas have evolved into new and promising research areas.

Concrete Functional CalculusThis book focuses primarily on differentiability of some nonlinear operators on functions or pairs of functions. This includes composition of two func-tions, and the product integral, taking a matrix- or operator-valued coefficient function into a solution of a system of linear differential equations with the given coefficients. In this book existence and uniqueness of solutions are proved under suitable assumptions for nonlinear integral equations with respect to possibly discontinuous functions having unbounded variation.

Theoretical StatisticsTopics for a Core Course

Intended as the text for a sequence of advanced courses, this book covers major topics in theo-retical statistics in a concise and rigorous fashion. The discussion assumes a background in advanced calculus, linear algebra, probability, and some analysis and topology. Measure theory is used, but the notation and basic results needed are presented in an initial chapter on probability, so prior knowl-edge of these topics is not essential. The presentation is designed to expose students to as many of the central ideas and topics in the discipline as possible, balancing various approaches to inference as well as exact, numerical, and large sample methods.

Please be sure to include them in your new books orders.Business, Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics are all inter-related with each other. You cannot think of business and economics without thinking of numbers. See, for instance, the major reference work Complex Systems in Finance and Econometrics. Statistics are used in busi-ness, but are also a useful tool in analyzing any subject, like Time Series Analysis and Its Applica-tions. Mathematics, when applied to other disciplines, becomes an integral part of them. Take a look at Dynamics, Games and Science.The titles in this catalog are certainly relevant to many readers. So take a look at these and other new titles now, and consider adding them to your own library!
