Vectors in 2 or 3 Dimensions provides an introduction to vectors
from their very basics. The author has approached the subject from
a geometrical standpoint and although applications to mechanics
will be pointed out and techniques from linear algebra employed, it
is the geometric view which is emphasised throughout.
Mathematical modelling modules feature in most university
undergraduate mathematics courses. As one of the fastest growing
areas of the curriculum it represents the current trend in teaching
the more complex areas of mathematics. This book introduces
mathematical modelling to the new style of undergraduate - those
with less prior knowledge, who require more emphasis on application
of techniques in the following sections: What is mathematical
modelling?; Seeing modelling at work through population growth;
Seeing modelling at work through published papers; Modelling in
mechanics.
The remarkable developments in differential topology and how these
recent advances have been applied as a primary research tool in
quantum field theory are presented here in a style reflecting the
genuinely two-sided interaction between mathematical physics and
applied mathematics. The author, following his previous work
(Nash/Sen: Differential Topology for Physicists, Academic Press,
1983), covers elliptic differential and pseudo-differential
operators, Atiyah-Singer index theory, topological quantum field
theory, string theory, and knot theory. The explanatory approach
serves to illuminate and clarify these theories for graduate
students and research workers entering the field for the first
time.
This book focuses on broadly defined areas of chemical information science- with special emphasis on chemical informatics- and computer-aided molecular design. The computational and cheminformatics methods discussed, and their application to drug discovery, are essential for sustaining a viable drug development pipeline. It is increasingly challenging to identify new chemical entities and the amount of money and time invested in research to develop a new drug has greatly increased over the past 50 years. The average time to take a drug from clinical testing to approval is currently 7.2 years. Therefore, the need to develop predictive computational techniques to drive research more efficiently to identify compounds and molecules, which have the greatest likelihood of being developed into successful drugs for a target, is of great significance. New methods such as high throughput screening (HTS) and techniques for the computational analysis of hits have contributed to improvements in drug discovery efficiency. The SARMs developed by Jurgen and colleagues have enabled display of SAR data in a more transparent scaffold/functional SAR table. There are many tools and databases available for use in applied drug discovery techniques based on polypharmacology. The cheminformatics approaches and methodologies presented in this volume and at the Skolnik Award Symposium will pave the way for improved efficiency in drug discovery. The lectures and the chapters also reflect the various aspects of scientific enquiry and research interests of the 2015 Herman Skolnik award recipient.
The chapters in this monograph are contributions from the Advances in Quantum Monte Carlo symposium held at Pacifichem 2010, International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies. The symposium was dedicated to celebrate the career of James B. Anderson, a notable researcher in the field. Quantum Monte Carlo provides an ab initio solution to the Schroedinger equation by performing a random walk through configuration space in imaginary time. Benchmark calculations suggest that its most commonly-used variant, "fixed-node" diffusion Monte Carlo, estimates energies with an accuracy comparable to that of high-level coupled-cluster calculations. These two methods, each having advantages and disadvantages, are complementary "gold-standards" of quantum chemistry. There are challenges facing researchers in the field, several of which are addressed in the chapters in this monograph. These include improving the accuracy and precision of quantum Monte Carlo calculations; understanding the exchange nodes and utilizing the simulated electron distribution; extending the method to large and/or experimentally-challenging systems; and developing hybrid molecular mechanics/dynamics and Monte Carlo algorithms.
Multivariate Analysis deals with observations on more than one variable where there is some inherent interdependence between the variables. With several texts already available in this area, one may very well enquire of the authors as to the need for yet another book. Most of the available books fall into two categories, either theoretical or data analytic. The present book not only combines the two approaches but it also has been guided by the need to give suitable matter for the beginner as well as illustrating some deeper aspects of the subject for the research worker. Practical examples are kept to the forefront and, wherever feasible, each technique is motivated by such an example.
Learn everything you need to know about Calculus and practice your reasoning and practical skills with a high-end textbook suitable for a wide range of course levels. Calculus: A Complete Course, 10th Edition by Robert Adams and Christopher Essex is the ultimate guide written by two leading authors in the field that continues to build its solid core following the successful pattern of its previous editions. With its reader-friendly language, the textbook holds a reputation for excellent accuracy and mathematical rigour, offering you study material suitable to cover a standard semester course, as well as high-end content that will help you further explore some of the unique topics and approaches in the landscape of Mathematics. Adding important, but overlooked topics while clarifying old ones, this edition will help you develop and practice your reasoning skills and apply techniques you have learned to concrete situations. Some of the topics this edition explores include: Sufficient conditions for maxima and minima in higher dimensions: this is the only mainstream textbook that covers the topic sufficiently. The fuzzy topic of metrics: the text explores and addresses any issues and questions, leading to new gateway topics, including spherical geometry (as in navigation) and special relativity, which emerge rather effortlessly once the metric concept is in place properly. Computers and mathematics through Maple and now Python: there is no other Calculus book that deals better with the topic while treating unique but important applications from information theory to Levy distributions. With a wide variety of exercises and useful features to support your learning, this unique edition continues to aspire to the definition of its subtitle of "A Complete Course."

This textbook offers an accessible, modern introduction at undergraduate level to an area known variously as general topology, point-set topology or analytic topology with a particular focus on helping students to build theory for themselves. It is the result of several years of the authors' combined university teaching experience stimulated by sustained interest in advanced mathematical thinking and learning, alongside established research careers in analytic topology. Point-set topology is a discipline that needs relatively little background knowledge, but sufficient determination to grasp ideas precisely and to argue with straight and careful logic. Research and long experience in undergraduate mathematics education suggests that an optimal way to learn such a subject is to teach it to yourself, pro-actively, by guided reading of brief skeleton notes and by doing your own spadework to fill in the details and to flesh out the examples. This text will facilitate such an approach for those learners who opt to do it this way and for those instructors who would like to encourage this so-called 'Moore approach', even for a modest segment of the teaching term or for part of the class. In reality, most students simply do not have the combination of time, background and motivation needed to implement such a plan fully. The accessibility, flexibility and completeness of this text enable it to be used equally effectively for more conventional instructor-led courses. Critically, it furnishes a rich variety of exercises and examples, many of which have specimen solutions, through which to gain in confidence and competence.

In business it is often necessary to apply a mathematical framework in order to solve everyday problems. This text takes a problem- and context-driven approach with the mathematics introduced only on a need-to-know basis. Care is taken not to overwhelm the student with mathematical techniques but to relate these techniques to specific business areas. The only exception to this form of presentation will be in the first two chapters where the elementary basics of arithmetic and algebra are displayed - albeit here, within financial and commercial contexts as well.
This book gives a rigorous yet physics focused introduction to mathematical logic that is geared towards natural science majors. We present the science major with a robust introduction to logic, focusing on the specific knowledge and skills that will unavoidably be needed in calculus topics and natural science topics in general rather than taking a philosophical-math-fundamental oriented approach that is commonly found in mathematical logic textbooks.
