Mathematical Explorations with MATLAB examines the mathematics most frequently encountered in first-year university courses. A key feature of the book is its use of MATLAB, a popular and powerful software package. The book's emphasis is on understanding and investigating the mathematics by putting the mathematical tools into practice in a wide variety of modeling situations. Even readers who have no prior experience with MATLAB will gain fluency. The book covers a wide range of material: matrices, whole numbers, complex numbers, geometry of curves and families of lines, data analysis, random...

Nowadays neural computation has become an interdisciplinary field in its own right; researches have been conducted ranging from diverse disciplines, e.g. computational neuroscience and cognitive science, mathematics, physics, computer science, and other engineering disciplines. From different perspectives, neural computation provides an alternative methodology to understand brain functions and cognitive process and to solve challenging real-world problems effectively.

Trends in Neural Computation includes twenty chapters either contributed from leading experts or formed by...

This volume presents original research contributed to the 3rd Annual International Conference on Computational Mathematics and Computational Geometry (CMCGS 2014), organized and administered by Global Science and Technology Forum (GSTF). Computational Mathematics and Computational Geometry are closely related subjects, but are often studied by separate communities and published in different venues. This volume is unique in its combination of these topics. After the conference, which took place in Singapore, selected contributions chosen for this volume and peer-reviewed. The section on...

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of the law of business formations in China provides quick and easy guidance on a variety of corporate and partnership considerations such as mergers, rights and duties of interested parties, stock exchange rules, labour laws, and takeovers. Lawyers who handle transnational business will appreciate the explanation of local variations in terminology and the distinctive concepts that determine practice and procedure.

A general introduction covering historical background,...
