Mathematical Feynman Path Integrals and Their Applications

Mathematical Feynman Path Integrals and Their Applications
Sonia Mazzucchi | 2009-05-22 00:00:00 | World Scientific Publishing Company | 224 | Mathematics
Although more than 60 years have passed since their first appearance, Feynman path integrals have yet to lose their fascination and luster. They are not only a formidable instrument of theoretical physics, but also a mathematical challenge; in fact, several mathematicians in the last 40 years have devoted their efforts to the rigorous mathematical definition of Feynman's ideas. This volume provides a detailed, self-contained description of the mathematical difficulties as well as the possible techniques used to solve these difficulties. In particular, it gives a complete overview of the mathematical realization of Feynman path integrals in terms of well-defined functional integrals, that is, the infinite dimensional oscillatory integrals. It contains the traditional results on the topic as well as the more recent developments obtained by the author. Mathematical Feynman Path Integrals and Their Applications is devoted to both mathematicians and physicists, graduate students and researchers who are interested in the problem of mathematical foundations of Feynman path integrals.

Value Distribution of Meromorphic Functions (Translations of Mathematical Monographs)
Anatoly A. Goldberg and Iossif V. Ostrovskii | 2008-08-13 00:00:00 | American Mathematical Society | 488 | Mathematics
This book contains a comprehensive exposition of the Nevanlinna theory of meromorphic functions of one complex variable, with detailed study of deficiencies, value distribution, and asymptotic properties of meromorphic functions. A self-contained exposition of the inverse problem for meromorphic functions of finite order with finitely many deficiencies is given in full detail. Many results included in the book belong to the authors, and were previously available only in journal articles. The main body of the book is a translation of the Russian original published in 1970, which has been one of the most popular sources in this field since then. New references and footnotes related to recent achievements in the topics considered in the original edition have been added and a few corrections made. A new Appendix with a survey of the results obtained after 1970 and extensive bibliography has been written by Alexandre Eremenko and James K. Langley for this English edition. The only prerequisite for understanding material of this book is an undergraduate course in the theory of functions of one complex variable.

Arithmetic of Blowup Algebras (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series)

Arithmetic of Blowup Algebras (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series)
Wolmer V. Vasconcelos | 1994-02-25 00:00:00 | Cambridge University Press | 340 | Mathematics
The theory of blowup algebras--Rees algebras, associated graded rings, Hilbert functions, and birational morphisms--is undergoing a period of rapid development. One of the aims of this book is to provide an introduction to these developments. The emphasis is on deriving properties of rings from their specifications in terms of generators and relations. While this places limitations on the generality of many results, it opens the way for the application of computational methods. A highlight of the book is the chapter on advanced computational methods in algebra built on current understanding of Gröbner basis theory and advanced commutative algebra. In a concise way, the author presents the Gröbner basis algorithm and shows how it can be used to resolve many computational questions in algebra.

Optimization for Decision Making: Linear and Quadratic Models

Optimization for Decision Making: Linear and Quadratic Models
Katta G. Murty | 2009-01-01 00:00:00 | Springer | 336 | Mathematics
Linear programming (LP), modeling, and optimization are very much the fundamentals of OR, and no academic program is complete without them. No matter how highly developed one’s LP skills are, however, if a fine appreciation for modeling isn’t developed to make the best use of those skills, then the truly ‘best solutions’ are often not realized, and efforts go wasted.

Katta Murty studied LP with George Dantzig, the father of linear programming, and has written the graduate-level solution to that problem. While maintaining the rigorous LP instruction required, Murty's new book is unique in his focus on developing modeling skills to support valid decision making for complex real world problems. He describes the approach as 'intelligent modeling and decision making' to emphasize the importance of employing the best exion of actual problems and then applying the most computationally effective and efficient solution technique for that model.

Young Mathematicians at Work, Vol. 3: Constructing Fractions, Decimals, and Percents

Young Mathematicians at Work, Vol. 3: Constructing Fractions, Decimals, and Percents
Catherine Twomey Fosnot, Maarten Dolk | 2002-01-01 00:00:00 | Heinemann | 192 | Mathematics
In our efforts to reform mathematics education, we've learned a tremendous amount about young students' strategies and the ways they construct knowledge, without fully understanding how to support such development over time. The Dutch do. So, funded by the National Science Foundation and ExxonMobil, Mathematics in the City was begun, a collaborative inservice project that pooled the best thinking from both countries. In Young Mathematicians at Work, Catherine Fosnot and Maarten Dolk reveal what they learned after several years of intensive study in numerous urban classrooms.

In this third volume in a series of three, Fosnot and Dolk focus on how children in grades 5-8 construct their knowledge of fractions, decimals, and percents. Their book:

•describes and illustrates what it means to do and learn mathematics.
•contrasts word problems with true problematic situations which support and enhance investigation and inquiry.
•provides strategies to help teachers turn their classrooms into math workshops.
•explores the cultural and historical development of fractions, decimals, and their equivalents and the ways in which children develop similar ideas and strategies.
•defines and gives examples of modeling, noting the importance of context.
•discusses calculation using number sense and the role of algorithms in computation instruction.
•describes how to strengthen performance and portfolio assessment.
•focuses on teachers as learners by encouraging them to see themselves as mathematicians.

Probability and Statistics

Probability and Statistics
Athanasios Papoulis | 1989-01-01 00:00:00 | Prentice Hall | 454 | Mathematics
Athanasios Papoulis, "Probability and Statistics"
Prentice Hall | 1989 | ISBN: 0137116985, 0137117302 | 454 pages | PDF | 13,3 MB

A developed, complete treatment of undergraduate probability and statistics by a very well known author. The approach develops a unified theory presented with clarity and economy. Included many examples and applications. Appropriate for an introductory undergraduate course in probability and statistics for students in engineering, math, the physical sciences, and computer science.(vs. Walpole/Myers, Miller/Freund, Devore, Scheaffer/McClave, Milton/Arnold)

This text confronts the conceptual difficulty many students have in learning probability and statistics by developing a precise foundation in concepts, working through theory, and then illustrating each concept with examples and applications directly related to the theory. The text explains the various interpretations of probability, the role of a model, and the importance of making a clear distinction between theoretical and empirical results. It defines a random variable "x" not on the real line but as a function with domain and abstract spaces. The book also introduces the notion of computer simulation and Monte Carlo methods, and argues that the controversy of Bayesian statistics has its origin in the dual interpretation of probability. Finally, there are chapters on the method of least squares, and the important topic of entropy.
