Quantitative Sociodynamics presents a general strategy for interdisciplinary model building and its application to a quantitative description of behavioural changes based on social interaction processes.

The book is concerned with mathematical modelling of supersonic and hyper- sonic flows about bodies.

It is well known that the normal distribution is the most pleasant, one can even say, an exemplary object in the probability theory.

This book is based on lectures delivered at Harvard in the Spring of 1991 and at the University of Utah during the academic year 1992-93.

The object of this book is to present the basic facts of convex functions, standard dynamical systems, descent numerical algorithms and some computer programs on Riemannian manifolds in a form suitable for applied mathematicians, scientists and engineers.

The intention of this book is to explain to a mathematician having no previous knowledge in this domain, what "e;noncommutative probability"e; is.

Recently, research in robot kinematics has attracted researchers with different theoretical profiles and backgrounds, such as mechanical and electrica!

In January 1992, the Sixth Workshop on Optimization and Numerical Analysis was held in the heart of the Mixteco-Zapoteca region, in the city of Oaxaca, Mexico, a beautiful and culturally rich site in ancient, colonial and modern Mexican civiliza- tion.

This volume describes the current state of knowledge of random spatial processes, particularly those arising in physics.

This major two-volume handbook is an extensively revised, updated second edition of the highly praised Survey of Applicable Mathematics, first published in English in 1969.

The Adomian decomposition method enables the accurate and efficient analytic solution of nonlinear ordinary or partial differential equations without the need to resort to linearization or perturbation approaches.

When this two-day meeting was proposed, it was certainly not conceived as a celebration, much less as a party.

For many years physics and mathematics have had a fruitful influence on one another.

Philosophy of Probability provides a comprehensive introduction to theoretical issues that occupy a central position in disciplines ranging from philosophy of mind and epistemology to cognitive science, decision theory and artificial intelligence.

In April 1990 a conference was held at the Cracow Institute of Technology, Cracow, Poland.

Particle simulation of semiconductor devices is a rather new field which has started to catch the interest of the world's scientific community.

This volume contains selected papers presented at the Second Workshop on Clifford Algebras and their Applications in Mathematical Physics.

Survival analysis is a highly active area of research with applications spanning the physical, engineering, biological, and social sciences.

This ASI- which was also the 28th session of the Seminaire de mathematiques superieures of the Universite de Montreal - was devoted to Fractal Geometry and Analysis.

The present monograph intends to establish a solid link among three fields: fuzzy set theory, information retrieval, and cluster analysis.

This monograph is written within the framework of the quantum mechanical paradigm.

Neutron radiography has in recent years emerged as a useful and complementary technology for radiation diagnosis.

These two volumes constitute the Proceedings of the `Conference Moshe Flato, 1999'.

BERMUDO alone of the many Spanish theorists and composers of the 16th century seems to have written anything specifically for New World use.

'Et moi, "e;'f si j'avait su comment en revenir, One service mathematics has rendered the je n'y serais point aile':' human race.

This handbook is a realization of a long term goal of BMDP Statistical Software.

The main purpose of this handbook is to summarize and to put in order the ideas, methods, results and literature on the theory of random evolutions and their applications to the evolutionary stochastic systems in random media, and also to present some new trends in the theory of random evolutions and their applications.

The theory of partial differential equations is a wide and rapidly developing branch of contemporary mathematics.

The book Partial Differential Equations through Examples and Exercises has evolved from the lectures and exercises that the authors have given for more than fifteen years, mostly for mathematics, computer science, physics and chemistry students.

Limit theorems for random sequences may conventionally be divided into two large parts, one of them dealing with convergence of distributions (weak limit theorems) and the other, with almost sure convergence, that is to say, with asymptotic prop- erties of almost all sample paths of the sequences involved (strong limit theorems).

As our title suggests, there are two aspects in the subject of this book.

1 More than thirty years after its discovery by Abraham Robinson , the ideas and techniques of Nonstandard Analysis (NSA) are being applied across the whole mathematical spectrum,as well as constituting an im- portant field of research in their own right.

The last decade has seen a remarkable development of the "e;Marginal and Moment Problems"e; as a research area in Probability and Statistics.

Controlled stochastic processes with discrete time form a very interest- ing and meaningful field of research which attracts widespread attention.

In this monograph the theory and methods of solving inverse Stefan problems for quasilinear parabolic equations in regions with free boundaries are developed.
