Written and edited by a team of experts in the field, this exciting new volume presents the cutting-edge techniques, latest trends, and state-of-the-art practical applications in linear and nonlinear system modeling. Mathematical modeling of control systems is, essentially, extracting the essence of practical problems into systematic mathematical language. In system modeling, mathematical expression deals with modeling and its applications. It is characterized that how a modeling competency can be categorized and its activity can contribute to building up these competencies. Mathematical modeling of a practical system is an attractive field of research and an advanced subject with a variety of applications. The main objective of mathematical modeling is to predict the behavior of the system under different operating conditions and to design and implement efficient control strategies to achieve the desired performance. A considerable effort has been directed to the development of models, which must be understandable and easy to analyze. It is a very difficult task to develop mathematical modeling of complicated practical systems considering all its possible high-level non-linearity and cross couple dynamics. Although mathematical modeling of nonlinear systems sounds quite interesting, it is difficult to formulate the general solution to analyze and synthesize nonlinear dynamical systems. Most of the natural processes are nonlinear, having very high computational complexity of several numerical issues. It is impossible to create any general solution or individual procedure to develop exact modeling of a non-linear system, which is often improper and too complex for engineering practices. Therefore, some series of approximation procedures are used, in order to get some necessary knowledge about the nonlinear system dynamics. There are several complicated mathematical approaches for solving these types of problems, such as functional analysis, differential geometry or the theory of nonlinear differential equations.

Some luck is needed with any type of investing, but investors who are successful in the long-term do not rely on it. Instead, consistently successful traders effectively utilize the tools, instruments, and information at their disposal and learn how to adapt to the dynamic conditions of the market. Options are precisely customizable financial assets that have the capacity to generate profits in any type of market environment. For more risk-tolerant traders, they can be used to build reliable investment strategies, tailored according to one's personal profit goals and risk preferences. Investors often fall into the trap of focusing on the potential rewards of options without properly assessing the associated risks or building strategies that are not backed by statistics. The Unlucky Investor's Guide to Options Trading elucidates these pitfalls and teaches new investors all about the basics of options and how to develop sustainable, actionable options strategies consistent with one's personal investing objectives. "Options trading and cards for money aren't for fools hoping for luck. This is a serious but easy to read introduction for those ready to try constructing options trades."--Aaron Brown, Author of The Poker Face of Wall Street and Red-Blooded Risk "Captivating -- that usually describes a spy thriller, but it applies well to this options trading book...
