An integrated coverage of probability, statistics, Monte Carlo simulation, inferential statistics, design of experiments, systems reliability, fitting random data to models, analysis of variance, stochastic processes, and stochastic differential equations. The author for first time presents an introduction to the broad field of applied engineering uncertainty analysis in one comprehensive, friendly, coverage. Each concept is illustrated with several examples of relevance in engineering applications (no cards, colored balls, or dice). This edition includes new research advances in nonlinear stochastic equations; simple methods to solve and graph boundary-value problems in several dimensions; 478 pages; 177 solved examples; 147 proposed problems; 174 illustrations, 69 short computer programs; and 51 data and statistical tables. AEROSPACE (from the Royal Aeronautical Society): ..".an integrated, balanced, and clear presentation to probability, statistics, stochastic models, and stochastic differential equations. The aim is to demonstrate to the reader that the fundamental principles are inherently simple and that the methods are practical and extremely useful in everyday engineering analysis or design. The book succeeds admirably in these aims." QUALITY AND RELIABILITY INTERNATIONAL: ..".discusses uncertainty in engineering... The essential differences are beautifully explained, providing a philosophical and practical basis for the rest of the book. This essential introduction is lacking in most books on statistics applications in engineering ...Overall, the book presents clear and interesting descriptions and explanations. The level of mathematics is appropriate to reasonably numerate engineers, and the use of spreadsheets and Maple enhance the practical value to engineers. I strongly recommend this book to design and systems engineers..." STOCHASTIC ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH ANS RISK ASSESSMENT: ..".written in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. It requires no prior background in statistics... it has numerous solved practical examples... and a significant amount of new material. The emphasis is on concepts and their illustration, and the author has made a concerted effort in avoiding lengthy derivations and this is an attractive feature from a student's perspective."

This book is an invitation to know yourself. By understanding the structure of your inner mind, you will discover extraordinary latent abilities awaiting to be developed. You can use the principles of Huna to improve your health, better your finances, increase wealth, acquire material possessions you desire, achieve personal and professional objectives, enrich your relationship with others, and enhance the overall quality of life. Perhaps you have used visualization before, but do not know why sometimes it does not work. Know the forces and meet the entities of your mind that control the art of mental creation. Develop and use the skills necessary to effectively and efficiently achieve your desires. Huna means "secret" in the Hawaiian language. It refers to the coded knowledge of the ancient Kahunas, who were known for healing the sick, controlling the weather, walking over hot lava, and predicting and changing the future. Huna techniques are combined with Thought Field Therapy (TFT) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). TFT/EFT methods are based on energy therapies similar to acupuncture. They have been shown to effectively remove deep psychological fixations, complexes, fears, anxiety, phobias, and negative emotions, without the need of expensive "talk therapies." Written in a simple style, the book includes many practical exercises and illustrations designed to gradually develop and apply the principles. Each exercise includes a step-by-step procedure. You do not have to be skillful at psychic work. Any one who takes the time to apply Huna can soon achieve important results to improve his/her life. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr. Sergio E. Serrano is an engineer, scientist, philosopher, and university professor. He is an example of the wave of scientists increasingly interested in studying psychic phenomena from a rigorous point of view. He received his Ph.D. degree at the University of Waterloo (Canada). He has taught in several universities in the Americas and Europe. He has over pne hundred publications in international engineering, mathematics, and science journals. He is also the author of two books in environmental engineering and statistics. This book is the result of over fifteen years of personal research on psychic phenomena and mystical practices. He believes that the fundamental energy laws of the physical world are adaptable, applicable, and valid in the "immaterial" world.

A new translation by Sergio E. Serrano of this inspirational book containing sound advice on the art of living by the late historian, biographer, and philosopher, Andre Maurois. ?Our lives are works of art, expressions of inner beauty, conceived and created by our inner selves, tested by the circumstances and experiences of life, perfected and modified by the learning and growth resulting from these experiences. Few authors have expressed these timeless principles with more eloquence than Andre Maurois (1885-1967), one of the most celebrated and prolific French writers of the 20th century. An Art of Living was first published in France in 1939. It is divided into five sections: The Art of Thinking, The Art of Loving, The Art of Working, The Art of Leadership, and The Art of Growing Old. Each section contains very profound, timeless, wisdom about the most important aspects we face in life. Maurois was an erudite, an acclaimed scholar, a historian, and a deep observer of human nature and psyche. The real value of An Art of Living, is that the sentences are not merely a collection of words to convey a practical thought, but a communication to the spirit of the reader. Maurois speaks to the soul of the reader. The principles he conveys remain as valid and as useful in the 21st century as they were in the 20th. There is so much insight in this book Maurois accurately predicts the ultimate failure of all social revolutions; the necessity of slow change in human customs and attitudes as a key to lasting changes; the technological development and implementation of robots in large assembly lines; the characteristics of a reasonable and effective government; the inner virtues to cultivate in order to successfully overcome the adversities of life; the qualities to seek in order to maintain stable, loving, relationships; the attributes to encourage as an effective manager; the essentials by which to plan a long and enjoyable retirement; and the principles behind an effective educational system. The book speaks to young and old alike. An Art of Living remained out of print for several decades. This new translation intends to resurrect this little treasure of a book for the English readers of today; it remains faithful to the original French edition and to the style of the author.

Los Kahunas demostraron un conocimiento muy profundo de la estructura de la mente. Las cronicas relatan historias extraordinarias acerca de sus habilidades para controlar el estado del tiempo, curar a los enfermos, predecir y cambiar el futuro, y caminar descalzos sobre lava hirviente. "Los tres espiritus" introduce la filosofia y sicologia Huna, descubierta en el siglo XX, en combinacion con la "Tecnica de liberacion emocional" (en ingles Emotional Freedom Technique, EFT), que se basa en terapias energeticas similares a la acupuntura, y que ha demostrado gran efectividad en la eliminacion de emociones negativas, complejos, fijaciones, miedos, fobias y estres, sin necesidad de costosos tratamientos sicologicos tradicionales. "Los tres espiritus" le conduciran paso a paso a traves de una exploracion gradual de su mente y un descubrimiento de las entidades espirituales que rigen su vida. Se presentan muchos ejercicios practicos e ilustraciones sencillas disenados para lograr el desarrollo gradual de las habilidades latentes. Al estudiar la estructura de su mente, descubrira habilidades extraordinarias que esperan ser desarrolladas. Usted puede usar los principios de Huna para mejorar su salud, aumentar sus ingresos, adquirir los bienes materiales que desee, alcanzar objetivos personales o profesionales, enriquecer sus relaciones con los demas y en general mejorar la calidad de su vida. Tal vez usted ha aplicado los principios de la visualizacion en el pasado, pero no sabe porque a veces no funciona. Aprenda a reconocer las fuerzas y las entidades espirituales que gobiernan el arte de la creacion mental. Desarrolle las aptitudes que le permitiran lograr sus deseos facilmente.
