The goal of this third edition of Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos: With Applications to Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Engineering is the same as previous editions: to provide a good foundation - and a joyful experience - for anyone who’d like to learn about nonlinear dynamics and chaos from an applied perspective. The presentation stresses analytical methods, concrete examples, and geometric intuition. The theory is developed systematically, starting with first-order differential equations ...

Statistical Inference via Data Science: A ModernDive into R and the Tidyverse provides a pathway for learning about statistical inference using data science tools widely used in industry, academia, and government. It introduces the tidyverse suite of R packages, including the ggplot2 package for data visualization, and the dplyr package for data wrangling. After equipping readers with just enough of these data science tools to perform effective exploratory data analyses, the book covers tradi...

Thomas' Calculus: Early Transcendentals goes beyond memorizing formulas and routine procedures to help you develop deeper understanding. It guides you to a level of mathematical proficiency, with additional support if needed through its clear and intuitive explanations, current applications and generalized concepts. Technology exercises in every section use the calculator or computer for solving problems, and Computer Explorations offer exercises requiring a computer algebra system like Maple...

From ancient times, mathematics has developed side-by-side with physics; only in the last two hundred years they came apart as different branches of science. Extensive use of mathematics in other sciences, such as biology, chemistry, economics, pharmacology, environmental and social sciences is even more recent. Nowadays, knowledge of mathematical techniques is indispensable also for students and researchers in these fields.

The series of textbooks “Mathematics that Works” presents mathem...

Managing, controlling and improving quality is a critical activity in modern business organizations. Quality is directly linked to productivity, competitiveness, customer satisfaction, business growth, elimination of waste and other non-value added activities, and overall business success. Cycle time and throughput is just as important in a hospital emergency room as it is in a semiconductor factory.

Defects and errors don't occur just in factories, they occur in transactional and service bus...

Rekenen-wiskunde in de praktijk - Verschillen in de klas behandelt de handelingsgerichte aanpak van het reken-wiskundeonderwijs op de basisschool. Het inleidende hoofdstuk zet de nieuwste ontwikkelingen in de praktijk op een rij, zoals de introductie van het handelingsmodel op vrijwel al...

In het begin van deze eeuw ontstond onder de wiskundigen een heftig debat over de verzamelingenleer van Cantor. Zijn theorie leek de basistheorie van de gehele wiskunde te worden, maar bleek te leiden tot antinomieën.

Michel Combès stelt het probleem en beschrijft de belangrijkste voorgestelde oplossingen en de belangrijkste discussianten: Russel, Brouwer, Zermelo en Hilbert.
