Probability, Statistics and Econometrics provides a concise, yet
rigorous, treatment of the field that is suitable for graduate
students studying econometrics, very advanced undergraduate
students, and researchers seeking to extend their knowledge of the
trinity of fields that use quantitative data in economic
decision-making. The book covers much of the groundwork for
probability and inference before proceeding to core topics in
econometrics. Authored by one of the leading econometricians in the
field, it is a unique and valuable addition to the current
repertoire of econometrics textbooks and reference books.
What are fractals? Why are they such fun? How do you make one? Why
is a dripping tap not as random as it seems? What is chaos? Is the
Mandelbrot Set really the most complex object in mathematics? In
this beautifully illustrated book, fractal-hunter Oliver Linton
takes us on a fascinating journey into the mathematics of fractals
and chaos, diving into many kinds of self- similar structures to
reveal some of the most recently discovered and intriguing patterns
in science and nature. WOODEN BOOKS are small but packed with
information. "Fascinating" FINANCIAL TIMES. "Beautiful" LONDON

What are numbers? Where do they come from? Are there different
kings of number? Why was Pythagoras fascinated by triangular and
square numbers? Is there a link between perfect numbers and primes?
In this enlightening illustrated pocket book, mathemagician Oliver
Linton reveals the wonderful world of numbers, visiting the
questions and answers of great number theorists along the way, from
Euclid to Euler, Fibonacci to Fermat, and Archimedes to Gauss. No
calculator needed! WOODEN BOOKS are small but packed with

What is a mathematical function? Why are they so important? How
does plotting the graph of a function help us understand it? And
where do gradients, differentials and calculus fit in? In this
unique little book, packed with equations and their graphs,
mathematics teacher Oliver Linton reveals the secrets of polynomial
functions, polar functions, inverse functions, complex functions,
vector functions and many more. Lines will never look the same
again!
This is a thorough exploration of the models and methods of
financial econometrics by one of the world's leading financial
econometricians and is for students in economics, finance,
statistics, mathematics, and engineering who are interested in
financial applications. Based on courses taught around the world,
the up-to-date content covers developments in econometrics and
finance over the last twenty years while ensuring a solid grounding
in the fundamental principles of the field. Care has been taken to
link theory and application to provide real-world context for
students. Worked exercises and empirical examples have also been
included to make sure complicated concepts are solidly explained
and understood.

This book attempts to explain the central mysteries of Quantum
Theory in a simple way without pulling any punches. A novel
interpretation of that theory is suggested which provides insights
into the nature of reality and which may point the way forward
towards an eventual understanding of the nature of human
consciousness.
This book is aimed at High School or A level students of Physics
and Mathematics who want to understand how the bizarre effects of
Special and General Relativity come about. It will also be of
interest to any mathematically literate person.
