The newest volume in the prestigious series The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, this work covers synthesis, reactions, properties, structure, physical chemistry and utility of monocyclic azepines.

Shape is the outward form of an object produced by its outline. Mathematically it can described by the geometrical information required to describe an object when location, scale and rotational effects are removed. The study of shape was pioneered by D. Kendall to solve practical problems concerning shape in archaeology and astronomy. It is a relatively new approach, used by by statisticians, engineers and computer scientists.
