A Practical Guide to Heavy Tails

Statistical Techniques and Applications

Presents techniques and approaches for the statistical analysis of heavy-tailed distributions and processes, with a focus on applicability rather than theory. Emphasis is placed upon numerical problems associated with stable distributions, time series analysis and regression.

An Accompaniment to Higher Mathematics

Designed for students preparing to engage in their first struggles to understand and write proofs and to read mathematics independently, this is well suited as a supplementary text in courses on introductory real analysis, advanced calculus, abstract algebra, or topology. The book teaches in detail how to construct examples and non-examples to help understand a new theorem or definition; it shows how to discover the outline of a proof in the form of the theorem and how logical structures determine the forms that proofs may take. Throughout, the text asks the reader to pause and work on an example or a problem before continuing, and encourages the student to engage the topic at hand and to learn from failed attempts at solving problems. The book may also be used as the main text for a "transitions" course bridging the gap between calculus and higher mathematics. The whole concludes with a set of "Laboratories" in which students can practice the skills learned in the earlier chapters on set theory and function theory.

In particular, he observes that Pólya's heuristic strategies actually are whole
categories of related strategies, and that attempts by students to implement them
from Pólya's general descriptions founder at least in part on this lack of detail (

Encyclopedia of Genetics, Genomics, Proteomics, and Informatics

This new third edition updates a best-selling encyclopedia. It includes about 56% more words than the 1,392-page second edition of 2003. The number of illustrations increased to almost 2,000 and their quality has improved by design and four colors. It includes approximately 1,800 current databases and web servers. This encyclopedia covers the basics and the latest in genomics, proteomics, genetic engineering, small RNAs, transcription factories, chromosome territories, stem cells, genetic networks, epigenetics, prions, hereditary diseases, and patents. Similar integrated information is not available in textbooks or on the Internet.

Counting: The Art of Enumerative Combinatorics

Counting: The Art of Enumerative Combinatorics provides an introduction to discrete mathematics that addresses questions that begin, How many ways are there to...For example, ¿How many ways are there to order a collection of 12 ice cream cones if 8 flavors are available?¿ At the end of the book the reader should be able to answer such nontrivial counting questions as, ¿How many ways are there to color the faces of a cube if ¿k¿ colors are available with each face having exactly one color?¿ or ¿How many ways are there to stack ¿n¿ poker chips, each of which can be red, white, blue, or green, such that each red chip is adjacent to at least 1 green chip?¿ Since there are no prerequisites, this book can be used for college courses in combinatorics at the sophomore level for either computer science or mathematics students. The first five chapters have served as the basis for a graduate course for in-service teachers. Chapter 8 introduces graph theory.

Constructive Approximation

The book describes function spaces used in approximation, the needed functional analytic tools. It develops basic properties of polynomials, splines, linear operators that are used for approximation (and interpolation). The book takes the reader up to and into the recent great advances of Approximation Theory and emphasizes good proofs, logical selection of material, avoidance of superfluous details.

Special cases of Haar systems on [a, b] are the Polya systems. Their definition is
based on the following remarks: 1. If V = {vo,...,Vk-\} is a Haar system on \a,b] and
w € C[a, b] is strictly positive, then W := {wv0 wvk-i} is also a Haar system on [a, ...

Problems and Theorems in Analysis II

Theory of Functions. Zeros. Polynomials. Determinants. Number Theory. Geometry

Few mathematical books are worth translating 50 years after original publication. Polyá-Szegö is one! It was published in German in 1924, and its English edition was widely acclaimed when it appeared in 1972. In the past, more of the leading mathematicians proposed and solved problems than today. Their collection of the best in analysis is a heritage of lasting value.

Notes on Introductory Combinatorics

In the winter of 1978, Professor George P61ya and I jointly taught Stanford University's introductory combinatorics course. This was a great opportunity for me, as I had known of Professor P61ya since having read his classic book, How to Solve It, as a teenager. Working with P6lya, who ·was over ninety years old at the time, was every bit as rewarding as I had hoped it would be. His creativity, intelligence, warmth and generosity of spirit, and wonderful gift for teaching continue to be an inspiration to me. Combinatorics is one of the branches of mathematics that play a crucial role in computer sCience, since digital computers manipulate discrete, finite objects. Combinatorics impinges on computing in two ways. First, the properties of graphs and other combinatorial objects lead directly to algorithms for solving graph-theoretic problems, which have widespread application in non-numerical as well as in numerical computing. Second, combinatorial methods provide many analytical tools that can be used for determining the worst-case and expected performance of computer algorithms. A knowledge of combinatorics will serve the computer scientist well. Combinatorics can be classified into three types: enumerative, eXistential, and constructive. Enumerative combinatorics deals with the counting of combinatorial objects. Existential combinatorics studies the existence or nonexistence of combinatorial configurations.

Functional Equations and How to Solve Them

Many books have been written on the theory of functional equations, but very few help readers solve functional equations in mathematics competitions and mathematical problem solving. This book fills that gap. Each chapter includes a list of problems associated with the covered material. These vary in difficulty, with the easiest being accessible to any high school student who has read the chapter carefully. The most difficult will challenge students studying for the International Mathematical Olympiad or the Putnam Competition. An appendix provides a springboard for further investigation of the concepts of limits, infinite series and continuity.

How to Solve It: Modern Heuristics

No pleasure lasts long unless there is variety in it. Publilius Syrus, Moral Sayings We've been very fortunate to receive fantastic feedback from our readers during the last four years, since the first edition of How to Solve It: Modern Heuristics was published in 1999. It's heartening to know that so many people appreciated the book and, even more importantly, were using the book to help them solve their problems. One professor, who published a review of the book, said that his students had given the best course reviews he'd seen in 15 years when using our text. There can be hardly any better praise, except to add that one of the book reviews published in a SIAM journal received the best review award as well. We greatly appreciate your kind words and personal comments that you sent, including the few cases where you found some typographical or other errors. Thank you all for this wonderful support.

We have given this very problem to many people, including undergraduate and
graduate students, and even full professors in mathematics, engineering, or
computer science. Fewer than five percent of them solved this problem within an
hour, ...
