In an age when electronic health records (EHRs) are an increasingly important source of data, this essential textbook provides both practical and theoretical guidance to researchers conducting epidemiological or clinical analysis through EHRs.

Proofs play a central role in advanced mathematics and theoretical computer science, yet many students struggle the first time they take a course in which proofs play a significant role. This bestselling text's third edition helps students transition from solving problems to proving theorems by teaching them the techniques needed to read and write proofs. Featuring over 150 new exercises and a new chapter on number theory, this new edition introduces students to the world of advanced mathemat...

For an introductory, one or two semester, or sophomore-junior level course in Probability and Statistics or Applied Statistics for engineering, physical science, and mathematics students. An Applications-Focused Introduction to Probability and Statistics Miller & Freund's Probability and Statistics for Engineers is rich in exercises and examples, and explores both elementary probability and basic statistics, with an emphasis on engineering and science applications. Much of the data has been c...

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...

Written for students and researchers in systems biology, the second edition of this best-selling textbook continues to offer a clear presentation of design principles that govern the structure and behavior of biological networks, highlighting simple, recurring circuit elements that make up the regulation of cells and tissues.

This Book presents a course in elementary mathematics adapted to the needs of students in the freshman year of an ordinary college or technical school course, and of students in the first year of a junior college. The material of the text includes the essential and vital features of the work commonly covered in the past in separate courses in college algebra, trigonometry, and analytical geometry.

The fundamental idea of the development is to emphasize the fact that mathematics cannot be ar...

It is intended to have the first sixteen pages of this book simply read in the class, with such running comment and discussion as may be useful to help the beginner catch the spirit of the subject-matter, and not leave him to the mere letter of dry definitions. In like manner, the definitions at the beginning of each Book should be read and discussed in the recitation room.

There is a decided advantage in having the de_nitions for each Book in a single group so that they can be included in on...

Met Moderne Wiskunde ontwikkelt de leerling inzicht en begrip. Samen met de docent verkent en verdiept de leerling de wiskundeonderwerpen, waarna hij – op eigen niveau – de leerstof zelfstandig oefent en toepast.

Jerome S. Meyer, die in Amerika een grote bekendheid geniet als auteur van ruim twintig populaire boeken over wiskunde en diverse takken der natuurwetenschap en als schrijver van vele belangrijke artikelen in populair-wetenschappelijke tijdschriften, heeft in dot boek een interessante verzameling bijeen gebracht van een groot aantal mathematische en rekenkundige merkwaardigheden. Ieder die ooit met de wonderwereld der getallen in aanraking is gekomen, zal er ongetwijfeld door worden geboeid. ...

Rekenkundige raadsels waren al 'in vroege tijden bekend; ze hebben dus klaarblijkelijk een onverwoestbare aantrekkelijkheid. Hier zijn ze weer, modern en springlevend, in de vorm van een simpel verhaaltje, dat bij eerste lezing de reactie wekt: dat zal ik wel eens even klaren!' Het blijkt al gauw, dat de zaak iets anders ligt. Net iets voor de ras puzzelaar, die zich natuurlijk 'niet laat kennen'. En mocht het onverhoopt niet lukken, dan kan men achterin terecht; waar de auteur enkele typisch...
