Our aim in writing this book is to produce a relatively short volume that covers all the essential mathematics needed for a typical first degree in physics, from a starting point that is compatible with modern school mathematics syllabuses. Thus, it differs from most books, which include many advanced topics, such as tensor analysis, group theory, etc., that are not required in a typical phys…
This book is a collection of papers from two workshops held in Jönköping, Sweden, in 2006 and 2007. The theme of the workshop in 2006 was ‘Corporate Governance and Investment’ in a wide sense. Topics of papers could be: to describe and analyse the ownership and corporate governance structure of a given country; to make a comparative analysis of governance structures in different coun…
Basically, this is a book about mathematics, pitched at the advanced undergraduate/beginning graduate level, where ideas from signal processing are used to motivate much of the material, and applications of the theory to signal processing are featured. It is meant for math students who are interested in potential applications of mathematical structures and for students from the fields of a…
The purpose of this book is to introduce and develop some of the important and beautiful elementary mathematics needed for rational analysis of various gambling and game activities. While the only formal mathematics background assumed is high school algebra, some enthusiasm for and facility with quantitative reasoning will also serve the reader well. The book will, I hope, be of interest t…
Businesses evolve into multinational corporations (MNCs) so that they can capitalize on opportunities. Their financial managers must be able to detect opportunities, assess exposure to risk, and manage the risk. The MNCs that are most capable of responding to changes in the international financial environment will be rewarded. The same can be said for the students today who may become the futur…
