| ADVANCES IN INEQUALITIES FOR SERIES [Sever S Dragomir & Anthony Sofo (eds)] This research monograph, deals with identities and inequalities relating to series and their application. This is the first volume of research monographs on advances in inequalities for series. All of the papers in this volume have been fully peer reviewed. Some papers in this volume appear in print for the first time, detailing many technical results and some other papers offer a review of a number of recently published results. The papers appear in author alphabetical order and not in mathematics subject classification. There are fifteen diverse papers in this volume each with its own speciality. An important issue in many applications of Probability Theory is finding an approximate measure of distance, or discrimination, between two probability distributions. A number of divergence measures for this purpose have been proposed. { 233pp, 180x260mm, January 2008; HB, £92.99, 1600219209:9781600219207 , Nova Science Publishers } |
| ADVANCES IN INEQUALITIES FOR SPECIAL FUNCTIONS [Pietro Cerone & Sever S Dragomir (eds)] This book is the first in a collection of research monographs that are devoted to presenting recent research, development and use of Mathematical Inequalities for Special Functions. All the papers incorporated in the book have peen peer-reviewed and cover a range of topics that include both survey material of previously published works as well as new results. In his presentation on special functions approximations and bounds via integral representation, Pietro Cerone utilises the classical Stevensen inequality and bounds for the ¡Ceby¡sev functional to obtain bounds for some classical special functions. The methodology relies on determining bounds on integrals of products of functions. The techniques are used to obtain novel and useful bounds for the Bessel function of the first kind, the Beta function, the Zeta function and Mathieu series. { 170pp, 180x260mm, September 2007; HB, £59.50, 1600219195:9781600219191 , Nova Science Publishers } |

| ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF MATRICES [Paulus Gerdes (ed)] The purpose of the book is to give the reader a feeling for the beauty and the surprises of mathematical research by building up step by step a theory of cycle matrices. The notions of matrix and cycle are presented for those readers who do not yet know the concepts. Then, starting and experimenting with cycle matrices of low dimensions and engaging the readers in various activities, beautiful results are obtained with attractive geometrical interpretation. Gradually the results are extended to cycle matrices of higher dimensions and then generalised. A note is included for those readers who would like to use a computer in exploring cycle matrices. Two appendices give the possibility to further use the computer by exploring inverses matrices and determinants. { 194pp, 180x260mm, April 2007; HB, £59.50, 1600217184:9781600217180 , Nova Science Publishers } |

| ALGEBRA FOR ATHLETES, 2ND EDITION [Cameron Bauer (ed)] Capitalises on the wealth of mathematical knowledge students already possess because of their familiarity with the scorekeeping and motion in sports. In this way, the book takes advanced concepts such as exponents, vector multiplication, and the unit circle to relate them to students everyday lives. While the book is meant to appeal to students who might not otherwise choose to study algebra, it employs highly challenging material, much of which is not taught until engineering school. Thus the book also provides a window to the professional world. Applications in accounting, aeronautical engineering, civil engineering and other fields are presented along with the sports examples. { 327pp, 180x260mm, January 2008; HB, £25.99, 160021925X:9781600219252 , Nova Science Publishers } |
| ANALYTICAL APPROACHES TO MULTIDIMENSIONAL BALANCE LAWS [Olga S Rozanova (ed)] It is difficult to overestimate the importance of mathematical investigation of balance laws. They arise in many areas of physics, mechanics, chemistry, biology, social sciences. In this collective book we concentrate in particular on the equations of continuous medium and related to them. As a rule, they are very complicated in their primitive form. An important feature of such equations is a possible formation of singularities even in initially smooth solution within a finite time. The structure of the singularities can be very complex. A natural step in the approach to this problem is the transition, despite the three-dimensionality of our world, to spatially one-dimensional model. Significant progress has been achieved in this direction. Unfortunately, the methods of the one-dimensional theory, as usual, cannot be adapted to a case of many spatial variables. However, there are many attempts to deal with multidimensional problems. We would like to present some of them. All of the papers are written by outstanding experts, representing various schools in mathematics and mechanics. Each paper is organised as follows: it contains an elementary (as far as it is possible) introduction to a problem, a brief review of previously published results, and then original results of the authors are presented. { 246pp, 180x260mm, February 2007; HB, £99.50, 1594543070:9781594543074 , Nova Science Publishers } |

| COIMBRA LECTURE NOTES ON ORTHOGONAL POLYNOMIALS [Ana Pilar Foulquie Moren & Amilcar Jose Pinto Lopes Branquinho (eds)] Orthogonal Polynomials and Special Functions (OPSF) have a very rich history, going back to 19th century when mathematicians and physicists tried to solve the most important deferential equations of mathematical physics. Hermite-Padé approximation was also introduced at that time, to prove the transcendence of the remarkable constant e (the basis of the natural logarithm). Since then OPSF has developed to a standard subject within mathematics, which is driven by applications. The applications are numerous, both within mathematics (e.g. statistics, combinatory, harmonic analysis, number theory) and other sciences, such as physics, biology, computer science, chemistry. The main reason for the fact that OPSF has been so successful over the centuries is its usefulness in other branches of mathematics and physics, as well as other sciences. There are many different aspects of OPSF. Some of the most important developments for OPSF are related to the theory of rational approximation of analytic functions, in particular the extension to simultaneous rational approximation to a system of functions. Important tools for rational approximation are Riemann-Hilbert problems, the theory of orthogonal polynomials, logarithmic potential theory, and operator theory for difference operators. This new book presents the latest research in the field. { 233pp, 180x260mm, February 2008; HB, £99.50, 1600219721:9781600219726 , Nova Science Publishers } |
| COMBINATORICS OF DETERMINANTAL IDEAS [Cornel Baetica] The study of determinantal ideals and of classical determinantal rings is an old topic of commutative algebra. As in most of the cases, the theory evolved from algebraic geometry, and soon became an important topic in commutative algebra. Looking back, one can say that it is the merit of Eagon and Northcott to be the first who brought to the attention of algebraists the determinantal ideals and investigated them by the methods of commutative and homological algebra. Later on, Buchsbaum and Eisenbud, in a long series of articles, went further along the way of homological investigation of determinantal ideals, while Eagon and Hochster studied them using methods of commutative algebra in order to prove that the classical determinantal rings are normal Cohen-Macaulay domains. As shown later by C. DeConcini, D. Eisenbud, and C. Procesi the appropriate framework including all three types of rings is that of algebras with straightening law, and the standard monomial theory on which these algebras are based yields computationally effective results. A coherent treatment of determinantal ideals from this point of view was given by Bruns and Vetter in their seminal book. The author's book aims to a thorough treatment of all three types of determinantal rings in the light of the achievements of the last fifteen years since the publication of Bruns and Vetter's book. They implicitly assume that the reader is familiar with the basics of commutative algebra. However, the authors include some of the main notions and results from Bruns and Vetter's book for the sake of completeness, but without proofs. The authors recommend the reader to first look at the book of Bruns and Vetter in order to get a feel for the flavour of this field. The author's book is meant to be a reference text for the current state of research in the theory of determinantal rings. It was structured in such a way that it can be used as textbook for a one semester graduate course in advanced topics in Algebra, and at the PhD level. { 141pp, 180x260mm, July 2006; HB, £59.50, 1594549184:9781594549182 , Nova Science Publishers } |
| COOPERATIVE EFFECTS IN STOCHASTIC MODELS [G Sh Tsitsiashvili & M A Osipova] The monograph is devoted to an investigation of co-operative effects in stochastic models. It includes original results of the authors in the last decade. The main object of the monograph is an analysis of an influence of a stochastic model structure on its characteristics. Problems of a co-operation and a decomposition are actual in a solution of a lot of concrete problems. These problems are: a parallelisation of algorithms and programs, a modelling of supercomputers, computer networks, systems of mobile telephones catastrophes in complex systems, a design and an improvement of technological and economical processes etc. The co-operative effects create a source of significant dependencies between complex system characteristics under large random disturbances. To analyse these effects is necessary to create special methods based on structural analysis of multi-element stochastic models together with majoral asymptotic bounds of these models characteristics. At the same time it demands to develop new approaches to a processing of statistical data and a skill in an usage of the probability theory limit theorems and related asymptotic series and bounds. A choice of the monograph material is defined as by initial applied problems so by probability methods of their solution. Conditionally the monograph may be divided into two parts. First of them contains four sections devoted to a finding of the co-operative effects and to a development of new related analytical and numerical methods. This part has presumably methodological character and creates a theoretical base of an investigation of applied stochastic systems. Second part contains three sections devoted to a solution of different applied problems. It has some interesting substantial results. { 180pp, 180x260mm, April 2005; HB, £119.99, 159454252X:9781594542527 , Nova Science Publishers } |

They also discussed the trends and prospects of future. { 374pp, 180x260mm, February 2008; HB, £99.50, 1600218105:9781600218101 , Nova Science Publishers } |
| DISTRIBUTIONS IN STOCHASTIC NETWORK MODELS [G Sh Tsitsiashvili & M A Osipova] This monograph presents important research results in the areas of queuing theory, risk theory, graph theory and reliability theory. The analysed stochastic network models are aggregated systems of elements in random environments. To construct and to analyse a large number of different stochastic network models it is possible by a proof of new analytical results and a construction of calculation algorithms besides of the application of cumbersome traditional techniques Such a constructive approach is in a prior detailed investigation of an algebraic model component and leads to an appearance of new original stochastic network models, algorithms and application to computer science and information technologies. Accuracy and asymptotic formulas, additional calculation algorithms have been constructed due to an introduction of control parameters into analysed models, a reduction of multi-dimensional problems to one dimensional problems, a comparative analysis, a graphic interpretation of network models, an investigation of new models characteristics, a choice of special distributions classes or principles of subsystems aggregation, proves of new statements. { 75pp, 180x260mm, February 2008; HB, £59.50, 1604561432:9781604561432 , Nova Science Publishers } |

| EXTREMA OF NON-LOCAL FUNCTIONALS & BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS FOR FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS [Georgii A Kamenskii] The non-local functional is an integral with the integrand depending on the unknown function at different values of the argument. These types of functionals have different applications in physics, engineering and sciences. The Euler type equations that arise as necessary conditions of extrema of non-local functionals are the functional differential equations. The book is dedicated to systematic study of variational calculus for non-local functionals and to theory of boundary value problems for functional differential equations. There are described different necessary and some sufficient conditions for extrema of non-local functionals. Theorems of existence and uniqueness of solutions to many kinds of boundary value problems for functional differential equations are proved. The spaces of solutions to these problems are, as a rule, Sobolev spaces and it is not often possible to apply the analytical methods for solution of these problems. Therefore it is important to have approximate methods for their solution. Different approximate methods of solution of boundary value problems for functional differential equations and direct methods of variational calculus for non-local functionals are described in the book.

| (FABULOUS) FIBONACCI NUMBERS [Alfred S Posamentier & Ingmar Lehmann] The most ubiquitous, and perhaps the most intriguing, number pattern in mathematics is the Fibonacci sequence. In this simple pattern beginning with two ones, each succeeding number is the sum of the two numbers immediately preceding it (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ad infinitum). Far from being just a curiosity, this sequence recurs in structures found throughout nature -- from the arrangement of whorls on a pinecone to the branches of certain plant stems. All of which is astounding evidence for the deep mathematical basis of the natural world. With admirable clarity, mathematics educators Alfred Posamentier and Ingmar Lehmann take us on a fascinating tour of the many ramifications of the Fibonacci numbers. The authors begin with a brief history of their distinguished Italian discoverer, who, among other accomplishments, was responsible for popularising the use of Arabic numerals in the West. Turning to botany, the authors demonstrate, through illustrative diagrams, the unbelievable connections between Fibonacci numbers and natural forms (pineapples, sunflowers, and daisies are just a few examples). In art, architecture, the stock market, and other areas of society and culture, they point out numerous examples of the Fibonacci sequence as well as its derivative, the "golden ratio". And of course in mathematics, as the authors amply demonstrate, there are almost boundless applications in probability, number theory, geometry, algebra, and Pascal’s triangle, to name a few. Accessible and appealing to even the most math-phobic individual, this fun and enlightening book allows the reader to appreciate the elegance of mathematics and its amazing applications in both natural and cultural settings. { 385pp, 155x235mm, June 2007; PB, £18.99, 1591024757:9781591024750 , Prometheus Books } |

| FOCUS ON GROUP THEORY RESEARCH [Lawrence M Ying (ed)] A great many of the objects investigated in mathematics turn out to be groups. These include familiar number systems, such as the integers, the rational numbers, the real numbers, and the complex numbers under addition, as well as the non-zero rationals, reals, and complex numbers, under multiplication. Another important example is given by non-singular matrices under multiplication, and more generally, invertible functions under composition. Group theory allows for the properties of these systems and many others to be investigated in a more general setting, and its results are widely applicable. Group theory is also a rich source of theorems in its own right. Groups underlie many other algebraic structures such as fields and vector spaces. They are also important tools for studying symmetry in all its forms; the principle that the symmetries of any object form a group is foundational for much mathematics. For these reasons, group theory is an important area in modern mathematics, and also one with many applications to mathematical physics. This book presents the latest research in the field. { 154pp, 180x260mm, December 2006; HB, £85.99, 1594549672:9781594549670 , Nova Science Publishers } |

| GLOBAL ANALYSIS ON OPEN MANIFOLDS [Jürgen Eichhorn] Global analysis is the analysis on manifolds. Since the middle of the sixties there exists a highly elaborated setting if the underlying manifold is compact, evidence of which can be found in index theory, spectral geometry, the theory of harmonic maps, many applications to mathematical physics on closed manifolds like gauge theory, Seiberg-Witten theory, etc. If the underlying manifold is open, i.e. non-compact and without boundary, then most of the foundations and of the great achievements fail. Elliptic operators are no longer Fredholm, the analytical and topological indexes are not defined, the spectrum of self-adjoint elliptic operators is no longer discrete, functional spaces strongly depend on the operators involved and the data from geometry, many embedding and module structure theorems do not hold, manifolds of maps are not defined, etc. It is the goal of this new book to provide serious foundations for global analysis on open manifolds, to discuss the difficulties and special features which come from the openness and to establish many results and applications on this basis. { 644pp, 180x260mm, June 2007; HB, £59.50, 1600215637:9781600215636 , Nova Science Publishers } |
| HYPATIA OF ALEXANDRIA : Mathematician & Martyr [Michael Deakin] In the late fourth and early fifth centuries of our era, Hypatia of Alexandria was the world's greatest living mathematician and astronomer. A strikingly beautiful woman and a devoted celibate, she lived in a city as turbulent and troubled as Baghdad or Beirut is today. She achieved fame not only in her special field, but also as a philosopher, religious thinker, and teacher who attracted a large popular following. Her life ended tragically in violence at the hands of a rampaging mob of Christian fanatics, who killed her for her "pagan" beliefs, some say at the instigation of St. Cyril of Alexandria. This is the first biography of Hypatia to integrate all aspects of her life. Mathematician Michael Deakin emphasises that, though she was a philosopher, she was first and foremost a mathematician and astronomer of great accomplishment. In a fascinating narrative that brings to life a richly diverse ancient society, he describes her work so that the mathematics, presented in straightforward terms, finds its true place in the context of her life as a whole. Deakin supplies full detail on the historical, intellectual, and religious context of Hypatia's times. He also analyses the pattern of her life and thought, and finally gives an account of the events leading up to her lynch-mob execution. Although this outrageous crime has made Hypatia a powerful symbol of intellectual freedom and feminist aspiration to this day, Deakin makes clear that the important intellectual contributions of her life's work should not be overshadowed by her tragic death.

| ILL-POSED PROBLEMS IN PROBABILITY & STABILITY OF RANDOM SUMS [Lev Klebanov, Tomasz J Kozubowski & Sveltozar] This volume is concerned with the problems in probability and statistics. Ill-posed problems are usually understood as those results where small changes in the assumptions lead to arbitrarily large changes in the conclusions. Such results are not very useful for practical applications where the presumptions usually hold only approximately (because even a slightest departure from the assumed model may produce an uncontrollable shift in the outcome). Often, the ill-posedness of certain practical problems is due to the lack of their precise mathematical formulation. Consequently, one can deal with such problems by replacing a given ill-posed problem with another, well-posed problem, which in some sense is 'close' to the original one. The goal in this book is to show that ill-posed problems are not just a mere curiosity in the contemporary theory of mathematical statistics and probability. On the contrary, such problems are quite common, and majority of classical results fall into this class. The objective of this book is to identify problems of this type, and re-formulate them more correctly. Thus, alternative (more precise in the above sense) versions are proposed of numerous classical theorems in the theory of probability and mathematical statistics.

| INTEGRAL & FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS [Jie Xiao] This book is based on two closely-related courses. The first of these courses is Integration and Metric Spaces, and the second being Functional Analysis. Though the contents of Functional Analysis have been used for both an undergraduate course and an introductory graduate course, this text is designed primarily for undergraduate students. The prerequisites of this book are deliberately modest, and it is assumed that the students have some familiarity with Introductory Calculus and Linear Algebra plus the basic (direct, indirect) proof methods. { 287pp, 180x260mm, June 2007; HB, £32.99, 1600217842:9781600217845 , Nova Science Publishers } |
| INTRODUCTION TO CONTINUOUS OPTIMIZATION : Foundations & Fundamental Algorithms [Niclas Andréasson, Anton Evgrafov & Michael Patriksson] Optimisation, or mathematical programming, is a fundamental subject within decision science and operations research, in which mathematical decision models are constructed, analysed, and solved. The book’s focus lies on providing a basis for the analysis of optimisation models and of candidate optimal solutions, especially for continuous optimisation models. The main part of the mathematical material therefore concerns the analysis and linear algebra that underlie the workings of convexity and duality, and necessary/sufficient local/global optimality conditions for unconstrained and constrained optimisation problems. Natural algorithms are then developed from these optimality conditions, and their most important convergence characteristics are analysed. The book answers many more questions of the form "Why/why not?" than "How?". This choice of focus is in contrast to books mainly providing numerical guidelines as to how optimisation problems should be solved. We use only elementary mathematics in the development of the book, yet are rigorous throughout. The book provides lecture, exercise and reading material for a first course on continuous optimisation and mathematical programming, geared towards third-year students, and has already been used as such, in the form of lecture notes, for nearly ten years. The book can be used in optimisation courses at any engineering department as well as in mathematics, economics, and business schools. It is a perfect starting book for anyone who wishes to develop his/her understanding of the subject of optimisation, before actually applying it. { 389pp, 155x230mm, May 2006; PB, £35.00, 9144044550:9789144044552 , Studentlitteratur AB } |
| INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY MEASURES : Theory & Applications [Adrian I Ban] This book is the outcome of about eight years of work performed by the author largely in the field of intuitionistic fuzzy set theory and more in depth on intuitionistic fuzzy measures presented from a point of view characteristic for pure mathematics. The purpose of the book is to present a continuation of studies conducted focusing mainly on measures that evaluate intuitionistic fuzzy sets by real values and crisp sets by intuitionistic fuzzy values. { 266pp, 180x260mm, October 2006; HB, £85.99, 1594549117:9781594549113 , Nova Science Publishers } |
| INVARIANT & QUASIINVARIANT MEASURES IN INFINITE-DIMENSIONAL TOPOLOGICAL VECTOR SPACES [Gogi Pantsulaia] This monograph deals with certain aspects of the general theory of systems. The author develops the ergodic theory, which is the theory of quaslinvariant and invariant measures in such infinite-dimensional vector spaces which appear as models of various (physical, economic, genetic, linguistic, social, etc.) processes. The methods of ergodic theory are successful as applied to study properties of such systems. A foundation for ergodic theory was stimulated by the necessity of a consideration of statistic mechanic problems and was directly connected with the works of G. Birkhoff, Kryloff and Bogoliuboff, E. Hoph and other famous mathematicians. { 234pp, 180x260mm, October 2007; HB, £85.99, 1600217192:9781600217197 , Nova Science Publishers } |
| JINN FROM HYPERSPACE : & Other Scribblings -- Both Serious & Whimsical [Martin Gardner] This new collection of Gardner gems takes its name from an essay on a mathematical theme, about a jinn (or genie) trapped in a 'Klein Bottle' -- an amusing tale that also teaches the maths phobic something interesting about a theoretical one-sided object with no distinction between inside and outside. Other topics in maths and physics include speculations about universes where time runs in reverse; the Banach-Tarski paradox (whereby a sphere, after being deconstructed, can be reassembled at twice its size); and a vigorous defence of the objective reality of mathematical theorems independent of human culture. On the literary side, Gardner discusses two neglected works by G K Chesterton, one of which concerns an imaginary but now very topical war between Islam and Christianity. He also considers the fantasies of L Frank Baum that don't take place in Oz, Clement Moore's ever-popular 'The Night Before Christmas', and the many fascinating books by Lewis Carroll that are sometimes overshadowed by his famous 'Alice in Wonderland'. A treat for longtime Gardner readers or the perfect introduction for newcomers, THE JINN FROM HYPERSPACE offers a rich selection of stimulating intellectual wonders. { 307pp, 155x230mm, December 2007; HB, £17.50, 1591025656:9781591025658 , Prometheus Books } |
| LINEAR ALGEBRA RESEARCH ADVANCES [Gerald D Ling (ed)] Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerned with the study of vectors, vector spaces (also called linear spaces), linear maps (also called linear transformations), and systems of linear equations. Vector spaces are a central theme in modern mathematics; thus, linear algebra is widely used in both abstract algebra and functional analysis. Linear algebra also has a concrete representation in analytic geometry and it is generalised in operator theory. It has extensive applications in the natural sciences and the social sciences, since non-linear models can often be approximated by linear ones. { 312pp, 180x260mm, June 2007; HB, £85.99, 1600218180:9781600218187 , Nova Science Publishers } |
| MATHEMATICAL MODELS OF ECONOMIC DYNAMICS WITH DISCRETE INNOVATIONS [Alexander J Zaslavski] This monograph is devoted to an interesting class of dynamical systems arising in economic dynamics. Dynamical systems theory has been a rapidly growing area of research which has various applications to physics, engineering, biology and economics. In this theory one of the goals is to study the asymptotic behaviour of the trajectories of a dynamical system. A discrete-time dynamical system is described by a space of states and a sequence of transition operators which can be set-valued. Two types of dynamical systems are considered in the literature: autonomous, with a single transition operator which does not depend on time, and non-autonomous, with transition operators depending on time. In the monograph the authors discuss a number of results concerning this model which were obtained by the author in the last fifteen years. They study the existence of trajectories on which consumption tends to infinity, discuss the existence and structure of optimal solutions and analyse allocations of labour resources. The authors introduce an optimality criterion for the trajectories of the model, establish the existence of optimal trajectories and examine their structure. They consider a multi-product extension of the Makarov model and its extension with expenditures required for reallocation of labour resources. { 188pp, 180x260mm, April 2006; HB, £59.50, 1594549214:9781594549212 , Nova Science Publishers } |
| MATHEMATICS OF THE PERIODIC TABLE [D H Rouvray & R B King (eds)] The Periodic Table effectively embraces the whole realm of chemistry within the confines of one comparatively simple and easily understood chart of the chemical elements. Over many years the Periodic Table has proven to be indispensable not only to chemists of all kinds but also to a host of other scientists, including biologists, geologists and physicists. It is thus hardly surprising that the Periodic Table has become one of our most celebrated contemporary scientific icons. In the present work various aspects of the Periodic Table that are seldom if ever featured elsewhere are given prominence. The twelve presentations contained herein all have a mathematical flavour because it is the intention to highlight the often-neglected mathematical features of the Periodic Table and several closely related topics. The book starts out by considering predictions of what the ultimate size of the Periodic Table will be when all of the possible artificial chemical elements have been synthesised. It then moves on to an examination of the nature of the periodicity extant in the Periodic Table and some methods for the prediction of the properties of the super-heavy elements. The Periodic Table is next explored in various dimensions other than two. The natural clustering of the elements into groups is studied by three different but complementary routes, namely via the topological structures of the groups, the self-association of the elements as evidenced by neural network studies, and information theoretical analysis of the behaviour of atoms. Following a detailed investigation of the mathematical basis for the periodicity seen in atomic and molecular spectroscopy, three separate presentations delve into many different aspects of the group-theoretical structure of the Periodic Table. The unusual combination of themes offered here will appeal to all who seek a more detailed and intimate knowledge of the Periodic Table than that available in standard texts on the subject. { 318pp, 180x260mm, January 2006; HB, £52.99, 1594542597:9781594542596 , Nova Science Publishers } |
| METACOGNITION IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION [Annemie Desoete & Marcel Veenman (eds)] For some decades, theoretical and empirical research has focused on the phenomenon of metacognition and its overwhelming importance to human learning and performance. The real growth in theoretical and empirical studies about metacognition started with the work of Flavell at the end of the 1970s in the context of research on metamemory. The metacognitive concept has been very successful stimulating a lot of studies. The metacognitive research on reading peaked in the 1980s and has levelled since. Metacognition has more recently also been applied to mathematics. metacognition can be differentiated into two central components, namely metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive processes or skills. In the same vein, Brown (1978) distinguished metacognitive knowledge about the interaction between person, task, and strategies characteristics from the regulation of one’s own cognitive activities. The purpose of this book is to help to summarise and clarify some of the issues on the conceptualisation, the assessment and the training of metacognition on mathematical issues in learners with and without mathematics learning disabilities. It presents a kaleidoscopic view on European research for the role of metacognition in mathematics performance. { 200pp, 180x260mm, June 2006; HB, £59.50, 1600211984:9781600211980 , Nova Science Publishers } |
| NEOCLASSICAL ANALYSIS : Calculus Closer to the Real World [Mark Burgin (ed)] Neoclassical analysis extends methods of classical calculus to reflect uncertainties that arise in computations and measurements. In it, ordinary structures of analysis, that is, functions, sequences, series, and operators, are studied by means of fuzzy concepts: fuzzy limits, fuzzy continuity, and fuzzy derivatives. For example, continuous functions, which are studied in the classical analysis, become a part of the set of the fuzzy continuous functions studied in neoclassical analysis. Aiming at representation of uncertainties and imprecision and extending the scope of the classical calculus and analysis, neoclassical analysis makes, at the same time, methods of the classical calculus more precise with respect to real life applications. Consequently, new results are obtained extending and even completing classical theorems. In addition, facilities of analytical methods for various applications also become more broad and efficient. { 396pp, 180x260mm, January 2008; HB, £52.99, 1600219462:9781600219467 , Nova Science Publishers } |

| NEW TRENDS IN CRYPTOGRAPHIC SYSTEMS [Nadia Nedjah & Luiza de Macedo Mourelle (eds)] Cryptography is the study of methods to transform information from its original comprehensible form into a scrambled incomprehensible form, such that its content can only be disclosed to some qualified persons. In the past, cryptography helped ensure secrecy in important communications, such as those of spies, military leaders, and diplomats. In recent decades, it has expanded in two main ways: firstly, it provides mechanisms for more than just keeping secrets through schemes like digital signatures, digital cash, etc; secondly, cryptography is used by almost all computer users as it is embedded into the infrastructure for computing and telecommunications. Cryptography ensures secure communications through confidentiality, integrity, authenticity and non-repudiation. Cryptography has evolved over the years from Julius Cesar's cipher, which simply shifts the letters of the words a fixed number of times, to the sophisticated RSA algorithm, which was invented by Ronald L. Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard M. Adleman, and the elegant AES cipher (Advanced Encryption Standard), which was invented by Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen. The need for fast but secure cryptographic systems is growing bigger. Therefore, dedicated hardware for cryptography is becoming a key issue for designers. With the spread of reconfigurable hardware such as FPGAs, embedded cryptographic hardware became cost-effective. Nevertheless, it is worthy to note that nowadays, even hardwired cryptographic algorithms are not safe. Attacks based on power consumption and electromagnetic Analysis, such as SPA, DPA and EMA have been successfully used to retrieve secret information stored in cryptographic devices. Besides performance in terms of area and throughput, designer of embedded cryptographic hardware must worry about the leakage of their implementations. The content of this book is divided into three main parts, which are focused on new trends in cryptographic hardware, arithmetic and factoring. { 135pp, 180x260mm, April 2006; HB, £83.50, 159454977X:9781594549779 , Nova Science Publishers } |

| POWER ORTHOGONAL POLYNOMIALS [Ying Guang Shi] The first chapter lists the basic results of orthogonal polynomials, Jacobi, Laguerre, and Hermite polynomials, and collects some frequently used theorems and formulas. As a base and useful tool, the representation and quantitative theory of Hermite interpolation is the subject of Chapter 2. The theory of power orthogonal polynomials begins in Chapter 3: existence, uniqueness, Characterisations, properties of zeros, and continuity with respect to the measure and the indices are all considered. Chapter 4 deals with Gaussian quadrature formulas and their convergence. Chapter 5 is devoted to the theory of Christo®el type functions, which are related to Gaussian quadrature formulas and is one of the important contents of power orthogonal polynomials. The explicit representation of power orthogonal polynomials is an interesting problem and is discussed in Chapter 6. Chapter 7 is a detailed treatment of zeros in power orthogonal polynomials. Chapter 8 is devoted to bounds and inequalities of power orthogonal polynomials. In Chapters 9 and 10 we study asymptotics of general polynomials and power orthogonal polynomials, respectively. In Chapter 11 we discuss convergence of power orthogonal series, Lagrange and Hermite interpolation, and two positive operators constructed by power orthogonal polynomials. In Chapter 12 we investigate Gaussian quadrature formulas for extended Chebyshev spaces. In Chapter 13 we give construction methods for power orthogonal polynomials and Gaussian quadrature formulas; we also provide numerical results and numerical tables. { 309pp, 180x260mm, December 2006; HB, £85.99, 1594548552:9781594548550 , Nova Science Publishers } |
