Books in the Springer Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics and Technology series

This book presents elementary probability theory with interesting and well-chosen applications that illustrate the theory. An introductory chapter reviews the basic elements of differential calculus which are used in the material to follow.

Moreover, the text is useful for mathematicians, physicists, and engineers who want to learn finance via an approach that builds their financial intuition and is explicit about model building, as well as business school students who want a treatment of finance that is deeper but not overly theoretical.

This book offers a simple, no-frills approach to differential equations, with some 400 exercises that can be solved without a calculating device. Each worked example includes Mathematica commands for checking results and generating graphical representations.

Structured in a problem-solution format, this undergraduate text motivates the student to think through the programming process. New to the second edition are added chapters on suffix trees, games and strategies, and Huffman coding as well as an appendix illustrating the ease of conversion from Pascal to C.

An essential read for mathematicians, this volume looks beyond the syntax and semantics of Mathematica and other programs. It focuses on why they are necessary tools for anyone who engages in mathematics, as well as showing how to create better proofs.

Rather than being a 'how to' manual for making computations, this book places primary importance on the mathematics. It covers number theory, calculus of one and several variables, linear algebra, and visualization and interactive geometric computation.

Modeling and Simulation

This book starts with concrete topics and applications based on everyday experiences that naturally lead students to algebraic questions and concepts. The down-to-earth presentation is accessible to an audience with no previous knowledge of the subject.

Drawing examples from mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, economics, medicine, politics, and sports, this book illustrates how nonlinear dynamics plays a vital role in our world.

This book offers a user friendly, hands-on, and systematic introduction to applied and computational harmonic analysis: to Fourier analysis, signal processing and wavelets;
