A textbook for students with some background in probability that develops quickly a rigorous theory of Markov chains and shows how actually to apply it, e.g. to simulation, economics, optimal control, genetics, queues and many other topics, and exercises and examples drawn both from theory and practice.

Introductory Statistics, 10th edition, is written for a one- or two-semester first course in applied statistics and is intended for students who do not have a strong background in mathematics. The only prerequisite is knowledge of elementary algebra. Known for its realistic examples and exercises, clarity and brevity of presentation, and soundness of pedagogical approach, the book encourages statistical interpretation and literacy regardless of student background.

The book employs a clear and...

This leads to di?culties in that, although many of the elementary properties of ?nite-dimensional vector spaces hold in in?nite-dimensional vector spaces, many others do not. Since a norm on a vector space gives rise to a metric on the space, it is now possible to do analysis in the space.

Measure and integration are key topics in many areas of mathematics, including analysis, probability, mathematical physics and finance. This book offers a concise yet elementary introduction in which the theory is quickly and simply developed. Few prerequisites are required, making the text suitable for undergraduate lecture courses or self-study.

Offers a comprehensive guide to learning statistical inference with data science tools widely used in industry, academia, and government. Ideal for those new to statistics or looking to deepen their knowledge, this edition provides a clear entry point into data science and modern statistical methods.

This is the flash drive for The Practice of Statistics. The Practice of Statistics is the most trusted program for AP (R) Statistics because it provides teachers and students with everything they need to be successful in the statistics course and on the AP (R) Exam.

When faced with a ’human error’ problem, you may be tempted to ask 'Why didn’t these people watch out better?' Or, 'How can I get my people more engaged in safety?' You might think you can solve your safety problems by telling your people to be more careful, by reprimanding the miscreants, by issuing a new rule or procedure and demanding compliance. These are all expressions of 'The Bad Apple Theory' where you believe your system is basically safe if it were not for those few unreliable...

Finite Element Modeling and Simulation with ANSYS Workbench 18, Second Edition, combines finite element theory with real-world practice. Providing an introduction to finite element modeling and analysis for those with no prior experience, and written by authors with a combined experience of 30 years teaching the subject, this text presents FEM formulations integrated with relevant hands-on instructions for using ANSYS Workbench 18. Incorporating the basic theories of FEA, simulation case stud...

Acutely aware of the need for rigor, the student is much better prepared to understand what constitutes a proper mathematical proof and how to write one.Fifteen years of classroom experience with the first edition of Understanding Analysis have solidified and refined the central narrative of the second edition.

Poole’s "Linear Algebra: A Modern Introduction, Cengage International Edition", 5th, emphasizes a vectors approach and prepares students to transition from computational to theoretical mathematics. Balancing theory and applications, the conversational writing style combines traditional presentation with student-centered learning. Theoretical, computational, and applied topics are presented in a flexible, integrated way. Stressing geometric understanding before computational techniques, vect...
