Mathematical Analysis

The author tells the 2000-year old history of one  of  mathematics’ most  elusive numbers, the square root of minus one, also  known  as  i, re-creating  the baffling mathematical problems that conjured  it  up  and the colourful characters who tried to solve them. Addressing readers wit... More

The book discusses traditional and non-traditional machining methods. For each method, it provides the theory, describes the equipment available, explains the process and gives a large amount of practical data. The traditional metal cutting processes covered are turning, boring, planning, slotting... More

The book is designed for graduate students and researchers and can serve as material for a two-semester core course on real analysis. The material is mostly about measure and integration over a finite measure space, developing a general mathematical framework for handling uncertainty in quantitative... More

The last 15 years have seen an explosion of interest in wavelets with applications in fields such as image compression, turbulence, human vision, radar and earthquake prediction. Wavelets represent an area that combines signal in image processing, mathematics, physics and electrical engineering. As ... More

Since the famous Polish school of mathematicians (Steinhaus, Banach, and Knaster) introduced and described algorithms for the fair division problem in the 1940’s, the concept has been widely popularized. This book finally gathers into one readable and inclusive source a comprehensive discussion of... More
