It is only in the last two decades that "molecular pharmacology" has blossomed, first with the advent of radioligand binding techniques and second messenger studies which greatly facilitated the biochemical study of drug-receptor interactions, and latterly with increasing knowledge of the molecular architecture of the receptor proteins themselves.

In recent years there has been intense interest in the basic mechanisms of epilepsy.

Computational Methods for Three-Dimensional Microscopy Reconstruction

In its broadest sense, nonlinear synthesis involves in fact the synthesis of sometimes so phisticated or complex control strategies with the aim of prescribing, or at least influencing, the evolution of complex nonlinear systems.

Rational Homotopy Theory and Differential Forms

The fruitful method of constructing graded orders of special kind over a given order, culminating in applications of the construction of generalized Rees rings associated to divisors, is combined with the theory of orders over graded Krull domains.

Written by internationally renowned mathematicians, this state-of-the-art textbook examines four research directions in harmonic analysis and features some of the latest applications in the field.

The topics in this research monograph are at the interface of several areas of mathematics such as harmonic analysis, functional analysis, analysis on spaces of homogeneous type, topology, and quasi-metric geometry.

This book is a publication in Swiss Seminars, a subseries of Progress in Mathematics. It is an expanded version of the notes from a seminar on intersection cohomology theory, which met at the University of Bern, Switzerland, in the spring of 1983.

This volume uses a unified approach to representation theory and automorphic forms.

The Norbert Wiener Center for Harmonic Analysis and Applications provides a state-of-the-art research venue for the broad emerging area of mathematical engineering in the context of harmonic analysis.

Many physical problems that are usually solved by differential equation methods can be solved more effectively by integral equation methods.

Creative thinking is the key to solving mathematical problems, and this book outlines the tools necessary to improve the reader's technique.The text is divided into twelve chapters, each providing corresponding hints, explanations, and finalization of solutions for the problems in the given chapter.

The revised and expanded edition of this textbook presents concepts and applications of random processes with the addition of material on biological modeling. While still treating many problems in fields such as engineering and mathematical physics, the book also focuses on the topics of cancerous mutations, influenza evolution, drug resistance, and immune response.

Here is a comprehensive, systematic study of finite frame theory and applications. Coverage includes frame constructions, group frames, fusion frames, pseudo-frames, frames and algebraic geometry, and robustness against erasures.

The Norbert Wiener Center for Harmonic Analysis and Applications provides a state-of-the-art research venue for the broad emerging area of mathematical engineering in the context of harmonic analysis.

This volume comprises a carefully selected collection of articles emerging from and pertinent to the 2010 CFL-80 conference in Rio de Janeiro, celebrating the 80th  anniversary of the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) condition. A major result in the field of numerical analysis, the CFL condition has influenced the research of many important mathematicians over the past eight decades, and this work is meant to take stock of its most important and current applications.The Courant¿Friedrichs¿Lewy (CFL) Condition: 80 Years After its Discovery will be of interest to practicing mathematicians, engineers, physicists, and graduate students who work with numerical methods.

Aimed primarily at a broad community of graduate students in mathematics, mathematical physics, physics and engineering, as well as researchers in these disciplines.

This self-contained text presents quantum mechanics from the point of view of some computational examples with a mixture of mathematical clarity often not found in texts offering only a purely physical point of view.

I received my first introduction to the brain sciences in 1936 and 1937, for me the second and third years of the 7-year medical school curriculum at the University of Leiden.

Winner of the 1983 National Book Award, The Mathematical Experience conveyed the power and beauty of its topic to a broad audience. The study version added exercises and other classroom aids. This softcover edition includes new epilogues by the original authors.

The theory of switched systems is related to the study of hybrid systems, which has gained attention from control theorists, computer scientists, and practicing engineers.

The need for improved mathematics education at the high school and college levels has never been more apparent than in the 1990s. Teachers of mathematics will find here a fresh understanding of the subject and a valuable path to the training of students in mathematical concepts and skills.
