Behandelt wird die "klassische" Analysis so breit und ausführlich, wie sie der spätere Anwender, der Ingenieur, Informatiker oder Wirtschaftswissenschaftler im Berufsleben benötigt: Elementare reelle Funktionen, komplexwertige Funktionen (Ortskurven), Differentialrechnung für Funktionen einer oder zweier Veränderlicher und deren Anwendung.
A view into the sophisticated and highly advanced civilization that preceded the world of the pharaohs *; Presents historical evidence of the civilization ruled by the ';gods' that the Egyptians claimed preceded their own *; Explains who these prehistoric people were, what happened to them, and why they built a series of pyramids along the west bank of the Nile River Traditional Egyptologists have long resisted the notion that the architectural achievements of the Ancient Egyptians required the existence of a much more sophisticated technology than would have existed at that time.

For this new anthology, Anthony Bonner has chosen central texts from his acclaimed two-volume compilation Selected Works of Ramon Llull (Princeton, 1985).
Newton's heretical yet equation-incisive writings on theology, spirituality, alchemy, and prophecy, written in secret alongside his Principia Mathematica *; Shows how Newton's brilliance extended far beyond math and science into alchemy, spirituality, prophecy, and the search for lost continents such as Atlantis *; Explains how he was seeking to rediscover the one true religion that existed prior to the Flood of Noah, when science and spirituality were one *; Examines Newton's alternate timeline of prehistory and his study of prophecy through the Book of Revelations, including his prediction of Apocalypse in the year 2060 Isaac Newton (1643-1727) is still regarded by the world as the greatest scientist who ever lived.

This brief goes back to basics and describes the Quantitative structure-activity/property relationships (QSARs/QSPRs) that represent predictive models derived from the application of statistical tools correlating biological activity (including therapeutic and toxic) and properties of chemicals (drugs/toxicants/environmental pollutants) with descriptors representative of molecular structure and/or properties.
This thesis proposes useful tools, on-the-fly trajectory mapping method and Reaction Space Projector (ReSPer), to analyze chemical reaction mechanisms by combining the reaction route map and the ab initio molecular dynamics.
This book provides a comprehensive review of both traditional and cutting-edge methodologies that are currently used in computational toxicology and specifically features its application in regulatory decision making.
Advances in Quantum Chemistry presents surveys of current developments in this rapidly developing field that falls between the historically established areas of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology.
At the core of the Christian faith lies the spiritual journey to the heart of ultimate reality, or Goddescribed by some mystics as a dazzling darkness.
