This text presents a wide variety of common types of models found
in other mathematical modeling texts, as well as some new types.
However, the models are presented in a very unique format. A
typical section begins with a general description of the scenario
being modeled. The model is then built using the appropriate
mathematical tools. Then it is implemented and analyzed in Excel
via step-by-step instructions. In the exercises, we ask students to
modify or refine the existing model, analyze it further, or adapt
it to similar scenarios.
Exploitation filmmakers played a significant role in
revolutionizing American cinema during the 1960s and early 1970s,
churning out a string of independent Westerns, biker films,
nudie-cuties and horror flicks in record times and often on
shoestring budgets. With titles like ""Horror of the Blood
Monsters"", ""Cycle Savages"" and ""The Incredible 2-Headed
Transplant"", these films pushed the boundaries of acceptable
on-screen violence and nudity and kept the American theater
industry afloat as several major studios teetered on the brink of
financial collapse.This work tells the story of that 'other'
Hollywood through interviews with 16 directors, performers,
screenwriters, and stuntmen who helped bring these zero-budget
films to the screen against incredible odds. The interviews give
insights into exploitation filmmaking from the perspectives of
pioneering directors Al Adamson and Jack Hill, actors Jenifer
Bishop and Robert Dix, and stuntmen Gary Kent and Gary Littlejohn,
and others. The work includes more than 50 photographs, including
many rare behind-the-scenes images of the filmmakers on set.

In the second half of the 20th century, landmark works of horror
film history were as much the product of enterprising regional
filmmakers as of the major studios. From backwoods Utah to the
Louisiana bayous to the outer boroughs of New York, independent,
regional films like Night of the Living Dead, Last House on the
Left, I Spit on Your Grave, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The
Evil Dead stood at the vanguard of horror cinema. This overview of
regionally produced horror and science fiction films includes
interviews with 13 directors and producers who operated far from
mainstream Hollywood, along with a state-by-state listing of
regionally produced genre films made between 1959 and 1990.
Highlighting some of the most influential horror films of the past
50 years, this informative volume celebrates not only regional
filmmaking, but also a cultural regionalism that is in danger of
vanishing.
Part Of The Jones And Bartlett Learning International Series In
Mathematics Written For The One-Term Introductory Probability And
Statistics Course For Mid- To Upper-Level Math And Science Majors,
Essentials Of Mathematical Statistics Combines The Topics Generally
Found In Main-Stream Elementary Statistics Books With The
Essentials Of The Underlying Theory. The Book Begins With An
Axiomatic Treatment Of Probability Followed By Chapters On Discrete
And Continuous Random Variables And Their Associated Distributions.
It Then Introduces Basic Statistical Concepts Including Summarizing
Data And Interval Parameter Estimation, Stressing The Connection
Between Probability And Statistics. Final Chapters Introduce
Hypothesis Testing, Regression, And Non-Parametric Techniques. All
Chapters Provide A Balance Between Conceptual Understanding And
Theoretical Understanding Of The Topics At Hand. Key Features Of
Essentials Of Mathematical Statistics: - End-Of-Section Exercises
Range From Computational To Conceptual To Theoretical. - Many
Sections Include A Sub-Section Titled "Software Calculations" Which
Gives Detailed Descriptions Of How To Perform The Calculations
Discussed In The Section Using The Software Minitab, R, Excel, And
The TI-83/84 Calculators. - Provides A Clear Balance Between
Conceptual Understanding And Theoretical Understanding - Exercises
Throughout Vary In Level Of Difficulty And Scope.
