Packed with examples, computation tables, problems and solutions, and discussions on the roles of models, this new reference offers valuable feedback techniques that can minimize the size and cost of adjustment and sampling.

This book is kept as simple as possible and assumes only some familiarity with elementary calculus and matrices. The first seven chapters of the book cover a typical 40-hour statistics module taken by engineering or science students who are beginning the subject. This includes the basic ideas, relationships between variables and the design and analysis of experiments. The final chapter looks at some important engineering situations which are not fully covered by the methods of the preceeding chapters.

For students in both the natural and social sciences with prior knowledge of statistical methods. It provides not only understanding of the concepts of statistical inference but also the methodology for the most commonly used analytical procedures. Stressing practicality throughout, the text avoids excessively theoretical proofs and offers details of mathematical techniques only as they are needed. The exposition includes a wealth of examples, many based on actual research situations. Updated for this edition, it also includes considerable computer output of the widely used SAS System for the statistical procedures discussed.

Explore the enormous problem-solving potential of new spatial statistical techniques in engineering and the applied sciences! Consolidating scattered literature and diverse methodology, the book is packed with theory, applications, examples, new models, and inferences that makes spatial statistics crystal-clear.

This timely reference-the first ever devoted exclusively to high temperature thallium-based (Tl-based) cuprate superconductor research-provides up-to-date information on all chemical, physical, and material aspects and applications of this special class of cuprates.
Contains more than 1600 literature citations and nearly 565 tables, equations, drawings, photographs, and micrographs!

This invaluable resource will guide general readers, as well as students, through the often bewildering maze of equations and theorems encountered within the mathematical universe.

Unsurpassed in its coverage of parametric and nonparametric statistical procedures, offering both students and experienced researchers alike the most accessible, practical information available for analysis and research. Emphasizing application over theory, the Handbook presents nearly 75 statistical procedures. It also addresses all pertinent computational and theoretical issues. The emphasis of the text is on decision making-with the help of this book you can feel confident that you have chosen the best test to evaluate a specific design.

Learn how to use the modern techniques, a powerful and popular computer algebra system. The release four covers all the basic topics a reader needs to know to use Maple V to do algebra and calculus, solve equations, graph 2- and 3-dimensional plots, perform simple programming tasks, and prepare mathematical documents.

A wealth of amusing stories and little known facts from the annals of math. All proofs and equations are introduced through easy-to-follow explanations. Discusses some of the most intriguing mysteries such as Russell's Paradox. Captures brief biographies of many great mathematicians including Issac Newton, Bertrand Russell and Hypatia of Alexandria.

This is an instructive, unwaveringly playful romp through the 49 most interesting, useful and sometimes peculiar mathematical formulas. With more than 70 amusing cartoons and whimsical stories that demonstrate how numbers can solve everyday problems, from the mundane to the earth-shattering, this book reminds us that playing with numbers can be fun for all of us.
The only prerequisite for this delightful book are high school-level algebra and geometry and, or course, a desire to have fun.

Fully revised and expanded to reflect the most recent advances in the field since the first edition was published in 1973, the Second Edition of Ultrasonics describes the basic principles, theoretical background, and a wide range of applications of ultrasonic energy-particularly in electronics and data processing techniques.

A carefully organized and edited collection of extended survey papers addressing key topics in mathematical foundations and applications of wavelet theory. The first part of the book is devoted to the fundamentals of wavelet analysis. The second part of the book discusses applications of signal analysis, while the third part covers operator analysis and partial differential equations.
