The Mathematics of Gambling

Lyle Stuart, 1985

Casino card games such as baccarat and blackjack differ significantly from casino games such as craps, roulette, and slot machines in that they are not indepen- dent trial processes-that is, the cards that already have been played do affect the odds on subsequent hands. Consider for a moment the game of blackjack, where the cards...

Yoga Exercises for Teens: Developing a Calmer Mind and a Stronger Body (SmartFun Activity Books)

Hunter House, 2008

Yoga provides not only an excellent, low-impact workout, it also helps young people in key areas such as body awareness, flexibility, concentration, stress reduction, and self-expression. The exercises and games in this easy-to-follow guide are specifically designed to fit the needs of teenagers and to show teens how to work out and train...

Logic Minimization Algorithms for VLSI Synthesis (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science)

Springer, 1984

The roots of the project which culminates with the writing of this book can be traced to the work on logic synthesis started in 1979 at the IBM Watson Research Center and at University of California, Berkeley. During the preliminary phases of these projects, the impor tance of logic minimization for the synthesis of area and...

The Mathematics of Combustion (Frontiers in Applied Mathematics)

SIAM, 1987

This book delves into the rapidly changing area of combustion, in which asymptotic methods and bifurcation theory have made a significant impact as have the constant-density, small-heat-release models and other important contributions.

This is the second volume in the SIAM series Frontiers in Applied Mathematics. This continuing series...

Industrial Mathematics: A Course in Solving Real-World Problems

SIAM, 1987

'This is REAL. It has a different spirit. It gives students the distinct feeling that they could go into industry and actually work on problems like those in this book. The standard teaching of 'here is the mathematics, use it to solve this problem' has been replaced with 'here is a problem, use mathematics to solve it.' This book refreshes the...

The DFT: An Owners' Manual for the Discrete Fourier Transform

SIAM, 1987

Just as a prism separates white light into its component bands of colored light, so the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is used to separate a signal into its constituent frequencies. Just as a pair of sunglasses reduces the glare of white light, permitting only the softer green light to pass, so the DFT may be used to modify a signal to achieve a...

Numerical Methods for Least Squares Problems

SIAM, 1996

The method of least squares was discovered by Gauss in 1795. It has since become the principal tool for reducing the influence of errors when fitting models to given observations. Today, applications of least squares arise in a great number of scientific areas, such as statistics, geodetics, signal processing, and control.

In the last 20 years...

The Science of Computer Benchmarking (Software, Environments, Tools)

Social Science Research Council, 1996

This book provides an introduction to computer benchmarking. Hockney includes material concerned with the definition of performance parameters and metrics and defines a set of suitable metrics with which to measure performance and units with which to express them. He also presents new ideas resulting from the application of dimensional...

Robust Statistical Procedures (CBMS-NSF Regional Conference Series in Applied Mathematics)

SIAM, 1987

When SIAM contacted me about the preparation of a second edition of this booklet, it became clear almost immediately that any attempt to rewrite the booklet would invite the danger of spoiling its purpose. The booklet had served me well as a skeleton and draft outline for my subsequent book Robust Statistics (Wiley, 1981). I...

Matrix Algorithms, Volume I

SIAM, 1998

This book, Basic Decompositions, is the first volume in a projected five-volume series entitled Matrix Algorithms. The other four volumes will treat eigensystems, iterative methods for linear systems, sparse direct methods, and special topics, including fast algorithms for structured matrices.

My intended audience is the nonspecialist...

Fast Reliable Algorithms for Matrices with Structure (Advances in Design and Control)

SIAM, 1987

This book is the first to pay special attention to the combined issues of speed and numerical reliability in algorithm development. These two requirements have often been regarded as competitive, so much so that the design of fast and numerically reliable algorithms for large-scale structured systems of linear equations, in many cases, remains a...
