This textbook equips graduate students and advanced undergraduates with the necessary theoretical tools for applying algebraic geometry to information theory, and it covers primary applications in coding theory and cryptography.
Quantitative approaches to evolutionary biology traditionally consider evolutionary change in isolation from an important pressure in natural selection: the demography of coevolving populations.
Recognizing that robust decision making is vital in risk management, this book provides concepts and algorithms for computing the best decision in view of the worst-case scenario.
It is now some thirty years since Deligne first proved his general equidistribution theorem, thus establishing the fundamental result governing the statistical properties of suitably "e;pure"e; algebro-geometric families of character sums over finite fields (and of their associated L-functions).
A milestone in the geometric understanding of algebraization theorems that also provides an introduction to Arakelov geometryMotivated by questions of transcendental number theory, arithmetic, and Diophantine geometry, this book provides a thorough study of a new kind of mathematical objectformal-analytic arithmetic surfaces.
La optimización es una herramienta matemática utilizada ampliamente para diseñar, mejorar y controlar sistemas en organizaciones públicas y privadas de diversa índole (energía, servicios, telecomunicaciones, salud, transporte, finanzas, manufactura, logística, etc.
The field of financial mathematics has developed tremendously over the past thirty years, and the underlying models that have taken shape in interest rate markets and bond markets, being much richer in structure than equity-derivative models, are particularly fascinating and complex.
How we can challenge social injusticewith data and humanityThe American legal system does not offer equal justice to all; we can see obvious racial disparities in sentencing, policing, and incarceration.

A marvelous compendium of mathematical symbols and their fascinating historiesGalileo famously wrote that the book of nature is written in mathematical language.
For more than two thousand years, the Doubling of the Cube—the construction of the cube root of two using only a compass and straightedge—has stood as one of classical geometry's greatest impossibilities.
From the Ishango Bone of central Africa and the Inca quipu of South America to the dawn of modern mathematics, The Crest of the Peacock makes it clear that human beings everywhere have been capable of advanced and innovative mathematical thinking.

Providing an introduction to mathematical analysis as it applies to economic theory and econometrics, this book bridges the gap that has separated the teaching of basic mathematics for economics and the increasingly advanced mathematics demanded in economics research today.
The second edition of Introduction to Partial Differential Equations, which originally appeared in the Princeton series Mathematical Notes, serves as a text for mathematics students at the intermediate graduate level.
A comprehensive textbook on the tools of mathematical sociology and their applicationsMathematical models and computer simulations of complex social systems have become everyday tools in sociology.

Imagina que un día de pronto despiertas en un espacio extraño en el que tus pies no tocan el suelo y todo lo que haces tiene una reacción inesperada, cosas sencillas como lanzar una pelota y que ésta termine por impactar en tu cabeza desde el otro lado, o que de pronto cientos de clones tuyos llenen el lugar aplastándote sin poder escapar porque todo lo que tú haces ellos lo repiten.
Cunha linguaxe accesible a todos os públicos, este libro percorre a historia das matemáticas a través dos seus símbolos, dende os glifos dos xeroglíficos exipcios ata a sofisticada notación actual.
Este libro desenvolve un amplo abano de contidos matematicos seleccionados a partir daqueles que conforman os curriculos do bacharelato, intentando poner de manifesto cales son os seus fundamentos, o porque da sua pertinencia, que rol desempenan na ciencia e na cultura, que procesos conduciron a sua creacion e como evolucionaron.

El texto ha sido concebido como material de soporte del curso de Matemática fundamental que ofrece el Departamento de Matemáticas de la Universidad del Valle.
The quirky offspring of 'QI' and 'Freakonomics', 'Geekspeak' melds ingenious statistical analysis with edifying trivia to explain away some curious facts of life.
This new ebook from the author of 'The Music of the Primes' combines a personal insight into the mind of a working mathematician with the story of one of the biggest adventures in mathematics: the search for symmetry.
