EDWARD M. REINGOLD CALENDRICAL CALCULATIONS: The Millennium Edition, 2001 This new edition of the successful calendars book is being published at the turn of the millennium and expands the treatment of the previous edition to new calendars and variants. As interest grows in the impact of seemingly arbitrary calendrical systems upon our daily lives, this book frames the calendars of the world in a completely algorithmic form. The books gives a description of twenty-five calendars and how they relate to one another: the Gregorian (current civil), ISO (International Organization for Standardization), Egyptian (and nearly identical Armenian) Julian (old civil), Coptic, Ethiopic, Islamic (Moslem), Modern Persian (both astronomical and arithmetic), Bahá’í (both present and future forms), Hebrew (Jewish), Mayan (long count, haab, and tzolkin), Balinese Pawukon, French Revolutionary (both astronomical and arithmetic forms), Chinese (and nearly identical Japanese), old Hindu (solar and lunisolar), and modern Hindu ) solar and lunisolar. Easy conversion among these calendars is a by-product of the approach, as is the determination of secular and religious holidays. Calendrical Calculations makes accurate calendrical algorithms readily available for computer use with LISP, Mathematica, and Java code for all the algorithms included on the CD, and Updates are available on the Web.

J.M. CARIDAD Y OCERIN ECONOMETRÍA: MODELOS ECONOMÉTRICOS Y SERIES TEMPORALES, Edita: Editorial Reverté, S.A. , 1998. TOMO I. *Modelos econométricos uniecuacionales. La Ciencia Económica, en los últimos cincuenta años, ha evolucionado hacia un positivismo, siguiendo un proceso de cuantificación tanto a nivel macroeconómico como en el ámbito empresarial. El uso de modelos matemático-estadístico, a partir de los años cuarenta del siglo xx, en la estimación de relaciones económicas, dio origen al desarrollo de la Econometría como rama de la Economía aplicada. Nuevos métodos estadísticos, como la inferencia en modelos multiecuacionales, surgen en el ámbito econométrico, y otras técnicas, como la teoría de series temporales, el filtrado de procesos, los modelos con variables latentes y algunos métodos estadísticos multivariantes, se integra en los programas docentes de Economía cuantitativa , y construyen hoy en día una herramienta indispensable para el economista que ejerce su profesión en los más variados entornos.

35371 HB141 G73 CLIVE W.J. GRANGER EMPIRICAL MODELING IN ECONOMICS: SPECIFICATION AND EVALUATION, Edita: Cambridge University Press, 1999. Chapter I deals with Specification. The process of specifiying a model is discussed using deforestation in the Amazon region of Brazil as an Illustration Chapter 2 considers evaluation, and argues that insufficient evaluation is undertaken by economists, and that models should be evaluated in terms of the their output. In chapter 3, the question of how to evaluate forecasts is considered at several levels of increasing depth and using a more sophisticated, technical approach than in the earlier two chapters.

35373 HB842 A65 MASANAO AOKI MODELING AGGREGATE BEHAVIOR AND FLUCTUATIONS IN ECONOMICS, Stochastic Views of Interacting Agents. Edita: Cambridge University Press, 2002. “Once again Masanao Aoki has written a book ahead of its time. This he applies techniques popular in the hard sciences, but alien to most economists, to analyze the dynamic interaction of a large (finite) number of agents (or entities). He characterizes types agents by their decisions and the movement between types as endogenous transition probabilities. Aoki uses random combinatorial analysis to describe the distribution of types, and the backward Chapman-Kolmogorov equations to describe the aggregate dynamics. This is an innovative approach to characterize a complicated dynamic stochastic economic environment”.

35381 HG221 C43 BRUCE CHAMP MODELING MONETARY ECONOMIES. Edita: Cambridge University Press, 2001 “Champ and Freeman’s book is excellent in the that it teacher students to use dynamics models to think carefully about important monetary, fiscal, and macroeconomic issues. The authors put the models to work to explain a variety of classic and contemporary problems in macroeconomics. The models are rigorous and carefully explained: yet they are simple enough that undergraduates can quickly learn to put them to work. I used the first edition of this book to teach undergraduate. This edition is even better than the first”.

35231 QA155 S85 EARL W. SWOKOWSKI ÁLGEBRA Y TRIGONOMETRÍA CON GEOMETRÍA ANALÍTICA. Edita: Thomson Learning, 2002 La décima edición de Álgebra y trigonometría con geometría analítica supera a la novena en varias formas, aunque la más importante es la inclusión de muchos ejemplos de calculadoras graficadoras y encartes, que presentan secuencias de tecleo y pantallas específicas codificadas para las calculadoras TI-83 Plus y TI-86. Lo anterior hace más valioso el texto para los estudiantes, especialmente para quienes están iniciándose en el trabajo con calculadora graficadora. También proporcionan al profesor más flexibilidad en términos de forma en que pueden plantear una solución. Esta característica ahorra tiempo de clase, ya que los estudiantes cuentan de manera inmediata con las instrucciones y no en un manual adicional separado. El diseño de texto hace fácilmente identificables los encartes de tecnología, los cuales considero una adición tan importante al texto que he incluido una tabla especial de contenidos de tecnología a fin de poder consultarlos con mayor facilidad.

STANLEY I. GROSSMAN ÁLGEBRA LINEAL. Edita: McGraw-Hill, 1996

El estudio de álgebra lineal, hace tan sólo unos treinta años, estaba confinado nada más a los estudiantes de matemáticas y física y a aquellos que necesitaban conocimientos de la teoría de matrices para trabajar en áreas técnicas como estadística multivariada. El álgebra lineal se estudia ahora en muchas disciplinas debido a la invención de las computadoras de alta velocidad y al alumno general en las aplicaciones de las matemáticas en áreas que por tradición no son técnicas.

MARTÍN GOLUBITISKY ÁLGEBRA LINEAL Y ECUACIONES DIFERENCIALES CON MATLAB. Edita: Thomson Learning, 2001. Este libro contiene un método integrado de álgebra lineal y ecuaciones diferenciales ordinarias basado en computadoras, en este caso el paquete de sofware MATLAB.1 Pensamos que las computadoras pueden mejorar la comprensión de conceptos matemáticos, no sólo hacer posible realizar cálculos complicados. Utilizamos las computadoras en dos formas: en álgebra lineal reducen el trabajo fatigoso de cálculos y hacen posible que los estudiantes se concentren en conceptos y métodos, mientras que, en ecuaciones diferenciales, las computadoras muestran gráficamente imágenes fase, y con ello, los estudiantes se concentran en la información cualitativa contenida en soluciones, en lugar de sólo crear fórmulas para soluciones. Desarrollamos métodos para resolver sistemas de ecuaciones lineales y sistemas de ecuaciones diferenciales ordinarias lineales (con coeficientes constantes). Generalmente se acepta que los métodos de álgebra lineal ayudan a hallar soluciones en forma cerrada en sistemas de ecuaciones diferenciales lineales. El hecho de que la solución gráfica de sistemas de ecuaciones diferenciales pueda motivar conceptos (geométricos y algebraicos) en álgebra lineal se estudia menos. En este libro se comienza por resolver sistemas lineales de ecuaciones (por la teoría estándar de eliminación de Gauss) y estudiar teoría elemental de matrices.

TOM M. APÓSTOL INTRODUCCIÓN A LA TEORÍA ANALÍTICA DE NÚMEROS. Edita: Editorial Reverte, S.A., 1984. Éste constituye el primero de dos volúmenes de un libro de texto1 que deriva un curso (Matemáticas 160) ofrecido en California Institute of Technology durante los últimos 25 años. Proporciona una introducción a la Teoría analítica de números apropiada para estudiantes de Licenciatura con cierto conocimiento del Cálculo superior, pero que carecen de todo conocimiento de Teoría de números. En realidad, gran parte del libro no requiere Cálculo alguno y puede ser estudiado con provecho por los estudiantes de Escuelas superiores sofisticadas. La Teoría de números es tan basta y rica que un curso no puede hacer justicia a todas sus partes. Problemas que han fascinado a generaciones de matemáticas aficionados y profesionales se discuten junto con algunas de las técnicas para resolverlos.

35384 QA312 P44 WASHEK F. PFEFFER DERIVATION AND INTEGRATION. Edita: Cambridge University Press. 1993 This book is devoted to an invariant multi-dimensional process of recovering a function from its derivative. It considers additive functions defined on the family of all bounded BV sets that are continuous with respect to a suitable topology. A typical example is the flux of a continuous vector field. A very general Gauss-Green theorem follows from the sufficient conditions for the derivability of the flux. Since the setting is invariant with respect to local lipeomorphisms, a standard argument extends the Gauss-Green theorem to the Stokes theorem on Lipschitz manifolds. In addition, the author proves the Stokes theorem for a class of top-dimensional normal currents—a first step toward solving a difficult open problem of derivation and integration in middle dimensions.

Special functions, natural generalization of the elementary functions have been studied for centuries. The greatest mathematicians, among them Euler Gauss, Legendre, Eisenstein, Riemann and Ramanujan, have the foundations for this beautiful and useful area of mathematics, Euler found the gamma functions, which extends the factorial. The Bessel functions and Legendre polynomials play a role in three dimensions similar to the role of sine and cosine in two dimensions.

DAVID C. KAY, Ph.D THEORY AND PROBLEMS OF TENSOR CALCULUS This Outline is designed for use by both undergraduates and graduates who find they need to master the basic methods and concepts of tensors. The material is written from both an elementary and applied point of view, in order to provide a lucid introduction to the subject. The material is of fundamental importance to theoretical physics (e.g., field and electromagnetic theory) and to certain areas of engineering (e.g., aerodynamics and fluid mechanics). Whenever a change of coordinates emerges as a satisfactory way to solve a problem, the subject of tensors is an immediate requisite. Indeed, may techniques in partial differential equations are tensor transformations in disguise. While physicists readily recognize the importance and utility of tensors many mathematicians do not. It is hoped that the solved problems of this book will allow all readers to find out what tensors have to offer them.

Mathematical methods are essential tools for all physical scientists. This novel textbook provides a comprehensive guided tour of the mathematical knowledge and techniques that are needed by students in this area. In contrast to more traditional textbook, all the material is presented in the form of problems. Within these problems the basic mathematical theory and its physical applications are well integrated. In this way the mathematical insights that the students acquire are driven by their physical insight. Topics that are covered include vector calculus (div, grad, curl, Laplacian), linear algebra, Fourier analysis, scale analysis, Green’s functions, normal modes, tensor calculus, and perturbation theory. This book can be used by undergraduates or by lower-level graduate students in the physical sciences. It can serve as a stand-alone text, or as a source of problems and examples to complement other textbook, This guided tour of mathematical techniques is instructive, applied, and fun.

Probabilistic risk analysis aims to quantify the risk caused by high technology installations. Increasingly, such analysis are being applied to a wider class of systems in which problems such as lack of data, complexity of the systems or uncertainty about consequences, make a classical statistical analysis difficultor impossible. The authors discuss the fundamental notion of uncertainty, its relationship with probability, and the limits to the quantification of uncertainty.

35299 TA459 M43 V. 9 METALLOGRAPHY AND MICROSTRUCTURES (ASM HANDBOOK). Formerly Ninth Edition, Metals Handbook. Edita: ASM International. 2000. Metallography is one of the metallurgist’s most valuable tools, Since the pioneering work Henry Clifton Sorby in petrography and metallography in the 1860s, a multitude of techniques has been developed (particularly during the past 40 years) and applied to the study and characterization of metals and other engineering materials, such as ceramic and polymers, In addition to the conventional optical microscope, the materials scientist can utilize electron microscopes and deploy characterization techniques such as x-ray diffraction, electron microprobe analysis and field ion microscopy.

JAMES D. LIVINGSTON ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF ENGINEERING MATERIALS. Edita: John Wiley & Sons. 1999. Livingston helps make the complex concepts behind the electronic properties of materials much more accessible for students. His very readable writing style and clear organization help to make key topics much easier to understand. The first part of this text presents only “classical” ideas, covering the electronic properties of solids that are pertinent to the use of materials as components in various products. The second part introduces quantum mechanics and applies quantum chemistry and quantum physics to the basic properties of metals, insulators, and semiconductors. This approach allows the student to become familiar with some of the mathematics necessary for quantum mechanics before being exposed to the more challenging fundamental concepts.

J.W.CHRISTIAN+ THE THEORY OF TRANSFORMATIONS IN METALS AND ALLOYS. Edita PERGAMON. 2002. The arrangement of chapters and sections is unchanged but the book is now divided into two parts, the first of which covers the general theory whilst the second is concerned whit descriptions of specific types of transformation. My original intentions was to make only limited revisions and additions but I eventually decided that very extensive rewriting was required in view of the large number of papers published in the ten years. Part I of the new editions is consequently about 50% longer than the corresponding chapters of the first edition, and is appearing after a lengthy delay, for which I apologize. However, I hope that all the major developments of the interim period have been incorporated, so that the edition may perhaps serve both as a text book and as a reference source up to the level of active research. An increased symbol list has necessitated some minor changes of notation (especially Q instead of Z partition functions) and numerical quantities are now given in SI units. In response to several requests, I have included a few selected problems at the end of Part I; these are of a very variable standard, but I hope that teachers and students may find some of them useful*

E. PAUL DEGARMO ENGINEERING ECONOMY. Edita: Prentice-Hall, 1993. Engineering economy – what is it and why is it important? The initial reaction of many engineering student to these questions is “money matters will be handled by someone else. It is not something I need to worry about”. Any engineering project must be not only physically realizable but also economically feasible. For example, a child’s tricycle be built with an aluminum frame or a composite frame. Some may argue that because the composite frame will be stronger and lighter, it is a better choice. However, there is not much of a market for thousand dollar tricycles. One might suggest that the above arguments is ridiculously simplistic and that common sense would dictate choosing aluminum for the framing material.
