This established introduction to differential geometry aims to make this branch of mathematics accessible to the non-specialist by the use of three different notations: vector algebra and calculus, tensor calculus and the notation devised by Cartan.

This revised and updated volume describes methods fundamental to the theory and explanation of data analysis. This edition includes extensions and devices such as component and component-plus residual plots, cross-verification with a second sample and an index of required x-precision.

This introductory textbook examines the theory of combinatorics. It includes proof of Van der Waerden's 1926 conjecture on permanents, Wilson's theorem on asymptotic existence, and covers coding theory and its important connection with designs, problems of enumeration, and partition.

This is part of a two-volume set offering a comprehensive presentation of both sampling theory and practice.

This book is about the philosophy and practice of Evolutionary Operation (called EVOP for short), a simple but powerful statistical tool with wide application in industry.

The sampling inspection tables presented in this book were developed for use in the manufacture of communication apparatus and equipment for the Bell Telephone System. It the three papers of original publication and adds a brief introduction.

This concise summary of the statistical methods used in the analysis of survival data with censoring emphasizes recently developed nonparametric techniques; outlines methods in detail and illustrates them with actual data; discusses the theory behind each method; and includes numerous worked problems and numerical exercises.

An introduction to probability theory which has been designed for students with a working knowledge of calculus. The text demonstrates how the reader can formulate a probability problem in a mathematical manner so that it can systematically be attacked by routine methods.

Originally published in 1958, this text offers a simple analysis of the principles of experimental design. Emphasis is placed on basic concepts rather than the calculation of technical details. It is possible to use the book in conjunction with a text on statistical analysis.

This classic text, written by one of the foremost mathematicians of the 20th century, is now available in a low-priced paperback edition. Exposition is centered on the foundations of affine geometry, the geometry of quadratic forms, and the structure of the general linear group.

Part of a multi-volume work which offers a complete reference guide to complex functions, this book is a member of the "Wiley Classics Library" series. This series consists of selected books originally published by John Wiley & Sons that have become recognized classics in their respective fields.

Addresses basic aspects of research design which are central and common to many related fields in the social sciences, in health sciences, in education, and in market research. This work presents a unified approach to a common core of problems of statistical design that exists in these fields, along with basic similarities in practical solutions.

This text explains the necessity for and uses of both exploratory data analysis and robust and resistant methods in statistical practice. Edited by pre-eminent statisticians, it provides the conceptual, logical, and sometimes mathematical support for the more basic techniques of these methods.

This monograph describes the vigorous research that has taken place in nonlinear mechanics since 1970. Beginning with fundamental concepts and techniques of analysis and progressing through recent developments, the work provides an introduction to the main nonlinear phenomena.

Nonlinearity is the behavior of a circuit, particularly an amplifier, in which the output signal strength does not vary in direct proportion to the input signal strength. In a nonlinear device, the output-to-input amplitude ratio depends on the strength of the input signal.

Demonstrates how nonresponse in sample surveys and censuses can be handled by replacing each missing value with two or more multiple imputations. Clearly illustrates the advantages of modern computing to such handle surveys, and demonstrates the benefit of this statistical technique for researchers who must analyze them.

One of two volumes which lay the foundations for understanding differential geometry. This work familiarizes readers with various techniques of computation.

This is a classical reprint edition of the original 1971 edition of An Introduction to Bayesian Inference in Economics. This historical volume is an early introduction to Bayesian inference and methodology which still has lasting value for today's statistician and student.

This accessible introduction to sampling methods features many illustrations from surveys of human populations. The sampling methods described may also be used to survey animals, plants, minerals, physical products, accounts and inventories.

Provides avenues for applying functional analysis to the practical study of natural sciences as well as mathematics. Contains worked problems on Hilbert space theory and on Banach spaces and emphasizes concepts, principles, methods and major applications of functional analysis.

This classic work is now available in an unabridged paperback edition.

Explores the subject of enzyme kinetics from elementary aspects to steady-state, multireactant kinetics and isotope exchange. The text offers an understanding of the behaviour of enzyme systems and the diagnostic tools used to characterize them and determine kinetic mechanisms.

This classic text, written by two notable mathematicians, constitutes a comprehensive survey of the general theory of linear operations, together with applications to the diverse fields of more classical analysis. Dunford and Schwartz emphasize the significance of the relationships between the abstract theory and its applications. This text has been written for the student as well as for the mathematician--treatment is relatively self-contained. This is a paperback edition of the original work, unabridged, in three volumes.

Now available in paperback--the standard introduction to the theory of simple groups of Lie type. In 1955, Chevalley showed how to construct analogues of the complex simple Lie groups over arbitrary fields. The present work presents the basic results in the structure theory of Chevalley groups and their twisted analogues. Carter looks at groups of automorphisms of Lie algebras, makes good use of Weyl group (also discussing Lie groups over finite fields), and develops the theory of Chevalley and Steinberg groups in the general context of groups with a (B, N)-pair. This new edition contains a corrected proof of the simplicity of twisted groups, a completed list of sporadic simple groups in the final chapter and a few smaller amendments; otherwise, this work remains the classic piece of exposition it was when it first appeared in 1971

A systematic account of the development of stochastic processes over the last 20 years. A supplement contained within the text includes a treatment of the various aspects of measure theory. There is also a chapter on the specialized problem of prediction theory.

Designed to form the basis of a graduate course on Bayesian inference, this textbook discusses important general issues of the Bayesian approach. It investigates problems, illustrating the appropriate analysis of mathematical results with numerical examples.

A comprehensive, self-contained treatment presenting general results of the theory. Establishes a geometric intuition and a working facility with specific geometric practices. Emphasizes applications through the study of interesting examples and the development of computational tools. Coverage ranges from analytic to geometric.
