This is an abridged edition of the author's previous two-volume work, Ring Theory, which concentrates on essential material for a general ring theory course while ommitting much of the material intended for ring theory specialists. It has been praised by reviewers: **"As a textbook for graduate students, Ring Theory joins the best....The experts will find several attractive and pleasant features in Ring Theory. The most noteworthy is the inclusion, usually in supplements and appendices, of many useful constructions which are hard to locate outside of the original sources....The audience of nonexperts, mathematicians whose speciality is not ring theory, will find Ring Theory ideally suited to their needs....They, as well as students, will be well served by the many examples of rings and the glossary of major results."**--NOTICES OF THE AM
This book constitutes a first- or second-year graduate course in operator theory. It is a field that has great importance for other areas of mathematics and physics, such as algebraic topology, differential geometry, and quantum mechanics. It assumes a basic knowledge in functional analysis but no prior acquaintance with operator theory is required.
This is the first comprehensive treatment of the theoretical aspects of the discrete cosine transform (DCT), which is being recommended by various standards organizations, such as the CCITT, ISO etc., as the primary compression tool in digital image coding. The main purpose of the book is to provide a complete source for the user of this signal processing tool, where both the basics and the applications are detailed. An extensive bibliography covers both the theory and applications of the DCT. The novice will find the book useful in its self-contained treatment of the theory of the DCT, the detailed description of various algorithms supported by computer programs and the range of possible applications, including codecs used for teleconferencing, videophone, progressive image transmission, and broadcast TV. The more advanced user will appreciate the extensive references. Tables describing ASIC VLSI chips for implementing DCT, and motion estimation and details on image compression boards are also provided.
Now in its third edition, this classic text covers many aspects of
infrared and Raman spectroscopy that are critical to the chemist
doing structural or compositional analysis. This work includes
practical and theoretical approaches to spectral interpretation as
well as a discussion of experimental techniques. Emphasis is given
to group frequencies, which are studied in detailed discussions,
extensive tables, and over 600 carefully chosen and interpreted
spectral examples. Also featured is a unique treatment of group
frequencies that stresses their mechanical origin. This qualitative
approach to vibrational analysis helps to simplify spectral
interpretation.
Transformers and Motors is an in-depth technical reference which
was originally written for the National Joint Apprenticeship
Training Committee to train apprentice and journeymen electricians.
This book provides detailed information for equipment installation
and covers equipment maintenance and repair. The book also includes
troubleshooting and replacement guidelines, and it contains a
minimum of theory and math.
With the substantial advances in the miniaturization of electronic
components, wildlife biologists now routinely monitor the movements
of free-ranging animals with radio-tracking devices. This book
explicates the many analytical techniques and computer programs
available to extract biological information from the radio tracking
data.
Progress in mathematics is based on a thorough understanding of the mathematical objects under consideration, and yet many textbooks and monographs proceed to discuss general statements and assume that the reader can and will provide the mathematical infrastructure of examples and counterexamples. This book makes a deliberate effort to correct this situation: it is a collection of examples. The following table of contents describes its breadth and reveals the underlying motivation--differential geometry--in its many facets: Riemannian, symplectic, K*adahler, hyperK*adahler, as well as complex and quaternionic.
This book is a comprehensive survey of matrix perturbation theory, a topic of interest to numerical analysts, statisticians, physical scientists, and engineers. In particular, the authors cover perturbation theory of linear systems and least square problems, the eignevalue problem, and the generalized eignevalue problem as wellas a complete treatment of vector and matrix norms, including the theory of unitary invariant norms.
This book provides a series of concise lectures on the fundamental
theories of statistical mechanics, carefully chosen examples and a
number of problems with complete solutions.
A number of monographs of various aspects of complex analysis in
several variables have appeared since the first version of this
book was published, but none of them uses the analytic techniques
based on the solution of the Neumann Problem as the main tool.
This work is motivated by and develops connections between several branches of mathematics and physics--the theories of Lie algebras, finite groups and modular functions in mathematics, and string theory in physics. The first part of the book presents a new mathematical theory of vertex operator algebras, the algebraic counterpart of two-dimensional holomorphic conformal quantum field theory. The remaining part constructs the Monster finite simple group as the automorphism group of a very special vertex operator algebra, called the "moonshine module" because of its relevance to "monstrous moonshine."
This is an all-encompassing and exhaustive exposition of the theory of infinite-dimensional Unitary Representations of Locally Compact Groups and its generalization to representations of Banach algebras. The presentation is detailed, accessible, and self-contained (except for some elementary knowledge in algebra, topology, and abstract measure theory). In the later chapters the reader is brought to the frontiers of present-day knowledge in the area of Mackey normal subgroup analysisand its generalization to the context of Banach *-Algebraic Bundles.

These two volumes cover the principal approaches to constructivism in mathematics. They present a thorough, up-to-date introduction to the metamathematics of constructive mathematics, paying special attention to Intuitionism, Markov's constructivism and Martin-Lof's type theory with its operational semantics. A detailed exposition of the basic features of constructive mathematics, with illustrations from analysis, algebra and topology, is provided, with due attention to the metamathematical aspects. Volume 1 is a self-contained introduction to the practice and foundations of constructivism, and does not require specialized knowledge beyond basic mathematical logic. Volume 2 contains mainly advanced topics of a proof-theoretical and semantical nature.
This Handbook adopts a traditional definition of the subject, and
focuses primarily on the explanation of international transactions
in goods, services, and assets, and on the main domestic effects of
those transactions. The first volume deals with the "real side" of
international economics. It is concerned with the explanation of
trade and factor flows, with their main effects on goods and factor
prices, on the allocation of resources and income distribution and
on economic welfare, and also with the effects on national policies
designed explicitly to influence trade and factor flows. In other
words, it deals chiefly with microeconomic issues and methods. The
second volume deals with the "monetary side" of the subject. It is
concerned with the balance of payments adjustment process under
fixed exchange rates, with exchange rate determination under
flexible exchange rates, and with the domestic ramifications of
these phenomena. Accordingly, it deals mainly with macroeconomic
issues, although microeconomic methods are frequently utilized,
especially in work on expectations, asset markets, and exchange
rate behavior. For more information on the Handbooks in Economics

The Handbook brings together a systematic review of the research
topics, empirical findings, and methods that comprise modern labor
economics. It serves as an introduction to what has been done in
this field, while at the same time indicating possible future
trends which will be important in both spheres of public and
private decision-making.
This book serves not only as an introduction, but also as an
advanced text and reference source in the field of deterministic
optimal control systems governed by ordinary differential
equations. It also includes an introduction to the classical
calculus of variations.
Contains case studies conducted at six facilities to evaluate the technical, environmental and cost impacts associated with the implementation of technologies for reducing the volume and toxicity of printed circuit board metals-containing sludges and solvent wastes. Analyses of these data are the ba
The Handbook of Mathematical Economics aims to provide a definitive source, reference, and teaching supplement for the field of mathematical economics. It surveys, as of the late 1970's the state of the art of mathematical economics. This is a constantly developing field and all authors were invited to review and to appraise the current status and recent developments in their presentations. In addition to its use as a reference, it is intended that this Handbook will assist researchers and students working in one branch of mathematical economics to become acquainted with other branches of this field. Volume I deals with Mathematical Methods in Economics, including reviews of the concepts and techniques that have been most useful for the mathematical development of economic theory. Volume II elaborates on Mathematical Approaches to Microeconomic Theory, including consumer, producer, oligopoly, and duality theory, as well as Mathematical Approaches to Competitive Equilibrium including such aspects of competitive equilibrium as existence, stability, uncertainty, the computation of equilibrium prices, and the core of an economy.
The three volumes comprising the "Handbook of Natural Resource and
Energy Economics" examine the current theory, and sample current
application methods for natural resource and energy economics.
Volumes 1 & 2 deal with the economics of environmental and
renewable resources, and are divided into six parts. The first
deals with basic concepts, and subsequent sections are concerned
with ethics and environmental topics. Volume 3 deals primarily with
non-renewable resources. It analyzes the economics of energy and
minerals and includes chapters on the economics of environmental
policy. For more information on the Handbooks in Economics series,
