To this reviewer s knowledge, this is the first book accessible to the upper division undergraduate or beginning graduate student that surveys linear programming from the Simplex Method via the Ellipsoid algorithm to Karmarkar s algorithm. Moreover, its point of view is algorithmic and thus it provides both a history and a case history of work in complexity theory. The presentation is admirable; Karloff's style is informal (even humorous at times) without sacrificing anything necessary for understanding. Diagrams (including horizontal brackets that group terms) aid in providing...

The first contribution by Jan van Leeuwen focuses on the potential of proposal densities. It discusses the issues with present-day particle filters and explorers new ideas for proposal densities to solve them, converging to particle filters that work well in systems of any dimension, closing the contribution with a high-dimensional example. The second contribution by Cheng and Reich...

This open access book demonstrates all the steps required to design heuristic algorithms for difficult optimization. The classic problem of the travelling salesman is used as a common thread to illustrate all the techniques discussed. This problem is ideal for introducing readers to the subject because it is very intuitive and its solutions can be graphically represented. The book features a wealth of illustrations that allow the concepts to be understood at a glance.

The book approaches the main metaheuristics from a new angle, deconstructing them into a few key concepts...

Help kindergartners at risk for math difficulties with these explicit, evidence-based interventions. Used on their own or as a follow-up to the " Number Sense Screener (NSS ) ," the interventions in this user-friendly guide are a fun, simple, and highly effective way to boost key math skills such as oral counting, number recognition, and numeral writing. Teachers will get 24 scripted lessons, perfect for helping small groups of struggling students in just 30 minutes each. Proven in studies to improve young children's number sense, these engaging lessons help resolve early math struggles "...

Der Schwerpunkt des Buches liegt auf der Berechnung von Problemen der Ingenieurmathematik auf Computern mittels MATLAB, dessen Einsatzmoglichkeiten und Fahigkeiten vorgestellt werden.

Teil I des Buches stellt Struktur, Arbeitsweise, Fahigkeiten und Handhabung von MATLAB kurz und ubersichtlich dar, so dass auch Einsteiger in der Lage sind, MATLAB problemlos einzusetzen.

Teil II (Hauptteil) des Buches gibt eine Einfuhrung in Grundgebiete der Ingenieurmathematik und stellt wichtige Spezialgebiete wie Optimierung, Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung und Statistik vor: theoretische...

This volume addresses some of the research areas in the general field of stability studies for differential equations, with emphasis on issues of concern for numerical studies.

Topics considered include: (i) the long time integration of Hamiltonian Ordinary DEs and highly oscillatory systems, (ii) connection between stochastic DEs and geometric integration using the Markov chain Monte Carlo method, (iii) computation of dynamic patterns in evolutionary partial DEs, (iv) decomposition of matrices depending on parameters and localization of singularities, and (v) uniform stability...
