Mathematical Models for Communicable Diseases
Author: Fred BrauerPublisher: SIAM
ISBN: 9781611972429
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
This graduate-level textbook appeals to readers interested in the mathematical theory of disease transmission models. It is self-contained and accessible to readers who are comfortable with calculus, elementary differential equations, and linear algebra. The book provides insight into modeling cross-immunity between different disease strains (such as influenza) and the synergistic interactions between multiple diseases (e.g., HIV and tuberculosis); diseases transmitted by viral agents, bacteria, and vectors (e.g., mosquitos transmitting malaria to humans); and both epidemic and endemic disease occurrences.

Ten Lectures on Wavelets
Author: Ingrid DaubechiesPublisher: SIAM
ISBN: 9781611970104
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
Wavelets are a mathematical development that may revolutionize the world of information storage and retrieval according to many experts. They are a fairly simple mathematical tool now being applied to the compression of data--such as fingerprints, weather satellite photographs, and medical x-rays--that were previously thought to be impossible to condense without losing crucial details. This monograph contains 10 lectures presented by Dr. Daubechies as the principal speaker at the 1990 CBMS-NSF Conference on Wavelets and Applications. The author has worked on several aspects of the wavelet transform and has developed a collection of wavelets that are remarkably efficient.

Methods for Solving Systems of Nonlinear Equations
Author: Werner C. RheinboldtPublisher: SIAM
ISBN: 9781611970012
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
This second edition provides much-needed updates to the original volume. Like the first edition, it emphasizes the ideas behind the algorithms as well as their theoretical foundations and properties, rather than focusing strictly on computational details; at the same time, this new version is now largely self-contained and includes essential proofs. Additions have been made to almost every chapter, including an introduction to the theory of inexact Newton methods, a basic theory of continuation methods in the setting of differentiable manifolds, and an expanded discussion of minimization methods. New information on parametrized equations and continuation incorporates research since the first edition.
Distribution Theory for Tests Based on Sample Distribution Function
Author: J. DurbinPublisher: SIAM
ISBN: 0898710073
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 73
Book Description
Presents a coherent body of theory for the derivation of the sampling distributions of a wide range of test statistics. Emphasis is on the development of practical techniques. A unified treatment of the theory was attempted, e.g., the author sought to relate the derivations for tests on the circle and the two-sample problem to the basic theory for the one-sample problem on the line. The Markovian nature of the sample distribution function is stressed, as it accounts for the elegance of many of the results achieved, as well as the close relation with parts of the theory of stochastic processes.
Graph Theory and Its Applications to Problems of Society
Author: Fred S. RobertsPublisher: SIAM
ISBN: 089871026X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 123
Book Description
Explores modern topics in graph theory and its applications to problems in transportation, genetics, pollution, perturbed ecosystems, urban services, and social inequalities. The author presents both traditional and relatively atypical graph-theoretical topics to best illustrate applications.
