Draws together some mathematical ideas that are useful in population genetics, concentrating on a few aspects which are both biologically relevant and mathematically interesting.
This text covers numerical analysis, applied mathematics, and solution procedures for differential equations. It should be of help to nonmathematicians interested in applying these methods and techniques. The problems are intended as links between theory and application, and provide a foundation. Originally published in 1961, this "Classics" ......
This book addresses a seemingly simple question: can a certain amount of gas be transported within a pipeline network? The question is difficult, however, when asked in relation to a meshed nationwide gas transportation network and when taking into account technical details and discrete decisions, as well as regulations, contracts, and varying ......
Topics include: ways modern statistical procedures can yield estimates of pi more precisely than the original Buffon procedure traditionally used; the question of density and measure for random geometric elements that leave probability and expectation statements invariant under translation and rotation; the number of random line intersections in a ......
This book is devoted to giving a modern view of iterative methods for solving linear and nonlinear equations, which are the basis for many, if not most, of the models of phenomena in science and engineering; their efficient numerical solution is critical to progress in these areas. The text provides motivating examples mainly from boundary value ......
The shape of the Earth was a significant scientific question in the eighteenth century. When it was discovered that the Earth was flattened at the poles, scientists sought to understand the cause, leading to the study of the gravitational attraction of celestial spheroids. The solution drew upon Newton's law of universal gravitation, which used ......

This book is the first to offer a systematic methodology for solving nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using power series, specifically those arising in mathematical physics. It provides tools to eliminate the tedious manipulation of infinite series, enabling recursive computation of all terms. The authors also present a structured ......
Conditional Gradient Methods: From Core Principles to AI Applications offers a definitive and modern treatment of one of the most elegant and versatile algorithmic families in optimization: the Frank-Wolfe method and its many variants. Originally proposed in the 1950s, these projection-free techniques have seen a powerful resurgence, now playing a ......
This book analyzes a variety of results related to the modeling, analysis, estimation, and control design and the applications of different configurations of tubular reactors of two classes of partial differential equations (hyperbolic and parabolic), both linear and nonlinear. The advantages of using the tubular reactor case to study distributed ......
