Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Krantz takes the reader on a journey around the globe and through centuries of history, exploring the many transformations that mathematical proof has undergone from its inception at the time of Euclid and Pythagoras to its versatile, present-day use. The author elaborates on the beauty, challenges and metamorphisms of thought that have accompanied the search for truth through proof. The commentary and insights create a seamless thread throughout the many vignettes. Though there are many truths to be discovered in this book, by the end it is clear that there is no formalized approach or standard method of discovery to date. This is shown in noting some of the more prominent discussions currently underway. Most of the proofs are discussed in detail with figures and some equations accompanying them, allowing both the professional mathematician and those less familiar with mathematics to derive the same joy from reading this book.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 284 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book goes beyond the basics of a first course in calculus to reveal the power and richness of the subject. Standard topics from calculus ¿ such as the real numbers, differentiation and integration, mean value theorems, the exponential function ¿ are reviewed and elucidated before digging into a deeper exploration of theory and applications, such as the AGM inequality, convexity, the art of integration, and explicit formulas for ¿. Further topics and examples are introduced through a plethora of exercises that both challenge and delight the reader. While the reader is thereby exposed to the many threads of calculus, the coherence of the subject is preserved throughout by an emphasis on patterns of development, of proof and argumentation, and of generalization.More Calculus of a Single Variable is suitable as a text for a course in advanced calculus, as a supplementary text for courses in analysis, and for self-study by students, instructors, and, indeed, all connoisseurs of ingenious calculations.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 428 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This textbook presents models and solutions in inventory management. It begins with a 'must-read' chapter discussing basic terminology, concepts, taxonomy, and tenets of inventory system and common mathematical assumptions underlying the models. With a systematic organization, it then presents various models such as the EOQ model, lot-sizing models, Newsvendor model, periodic review models with variable and fixed ordering cost, and a continuous time model. Additionally, it discusses methods in multiechelon systems. In summary it tries to establish relationships between the dicussed models and real situations and discusses some examples in detail. Not directly competitive with other textbooks in this field, (more mathematical than some, less than others) this graduate textbook will appeal to senior and first year graduate students in operations research, industrial engineering, and quantitative MBA programs and can also serve as a reference to persons in the industry.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 360 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The objective of this book is to provide a tutorial for the use of Scilab/Scicos with a special emphasis on modeling and simulation tools. While it will provide useful information to experienced users it is designed to be accessible to beginning users from a variety of disciplines. Students and academic and industrial scientists and engineers should find it useful. The book is divided into two parts. The first part concerns Scilab and includes a tutorial covering the language features, the data structures and specialized functions for doing graphics, importing, exporting data and interfacing external routines. It also covers in detail Scilab numerical solvers for ordinary differential equations and differential-algebraic equations. Even though the emphasis is placed on modeling and simulation applications, this part provides a global view of Scilab. The second part is dedicated to modeling and simulation of dynamical systems in Scicos. This type of modeling tool is widely used in industry because it provides a means for constructing modular and reusable models. This part contains a detailed description of the editor and its usage, which is illustrated through numerous examples. All codes used in the book is made available to the reader.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 344 pp. Englisch.

One of the main features is its coverage of jump Markovian systems. ¿ Overall, this book presents results taking into consideration both white noise and Markov chain perturbations. It is clearly written and should be useful for people working in applied mathematics and in control and systems theory. The references cited provide further reading sources.(George Yin, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2007 m)This book considers linear time varying stochastic systems, subjected to white noise disturbances and system parameter Markovian jumping, in the context of optimal control ¿ robust stabilization, and disturbanceattenuation. ¿ The material presented in the book is organized in seven chapters. ¿ The book is very well written and organized. ¿ is a valuable reference for all researchers and graduate students in applied mathematics and control engineering interested in linear stochastic time varying control systems with Markovian parameter jumping and white noise disturbances.(Zoran Gajic, SIAM Review, Vol. 49 (3), 2007)Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 460 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Software testing has been considered so important that organizations can assign teams only for testing activities. Testing is an important activity to ensure software quality. Tests are usually run several times to certify that code ma- tenance did not accidentally insert defects into working parts of the software. In such situations, test teams shall be able to estimate the required effort to execute test cases in its schedules and to request more resources or negotiate deadlines when necessary. When regarding model-based testing approaches that we use in our documented Integrated and Optimized Software Testing methodology (IOSTP) [1¿4], a high number of test cases can be automatically generated. As team resources are limited, it may be not practical to execute all generated test cases. Their complexity usually determines the effort required to execute them and it can be used for planning test resources and test suites. Several software development estimation models have been proposed over the years. However, these models do not estimate the effort for executing a given test suite, since their estimations are based on software development complexity instead of its test planning, test case design and test execution complexity. According to our reading of the literature (e. g. [5¿14]), ¿¿best practices¿¿ in model-based effort estimation include: Local calibration (or LC); i. e. using local data to set two special tuning parameters; Stratification; i. e. given a database of past projects, and a current project to be estimated, restrict local calibration to just those records from similar projects.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 756 pp. Englisch.
