This book explains how Interest-rate models work and shows how to implement them for concrete pricing. The revised 2nd edition of this book incorporates considerable new material, including sections on local-volatility dynamics, and on stochastic volatility models.

Professor Gertsch covers both clinically relevant ECGs and very interesting rarer cases of the normal and the exercise ECG, making this work extremely comprehensive - it represents the culmination of a lifetime of involvement with invasive and non-invasive cardiology by one of Switzerland's leading cardiologists.

First methods book which includes many detailed descriptionsAbsolutely needed and thus timely for the scientific communityComprises 15% more content and includes the mentioned special features

This handbook is directed toward the professional user and contains practical techniques for interpreting geological structures. New models and techniques contain maps allowing the user to produce more accurate geological maps and cross sections.

Emphasis is placed on the analysis of translational, rotational, vibrational and electronically excited state kinetics, coupled to the electron Boltzmann equation.

The fact that exterior derivative d transforms sections of A kT* M into sections of A k+1T* M for every manifold M can be expressed by saying that d is an operator from A kT* M into A k+1T* M.

Intended for those in government, academia and industry who are interested in pollution prevention (P2). This second edition reflects the rapid change in pollution prevention strategies and market needs. It provides an understanding of pollution problems caused by pollutants and wastes as well as by environmentally unfriendly products.

This fully revised third edition introduces geostatistics by emphasising the multivariate aspects for scientists, engineers and statisticians. The text contains a brief review of statistical concepts, a detailed introduction to linear geostatistics, and an account of 3 basic methods of multivariate analysis.

Presents a general economic theory to analyze how different economic forces interact over time. This title proposes some combinations of various economic forces which may function at various stages of social and economic evolution. It includes the main economic ideas of Smith, Malthus, Ricardo, Marx, Mills, Walras, Marshall, Schumpeter and Keynes.

This book aims at restructuring some fundamentals in measure and integration theory. The theory is much more powerful than the traditional means and has striking implications all over measure theory and beyond.

An evolving agenda of Information Technology Auditing is subject of this book. Among the topics are complex integrated information systems, enterprise resource planning, databases, complexities of internal controls, and enterprise application integration - all seen from an auditor's perspective.

In order to make strategy happen there is a need for powerful management information systems. Value Based Management, the Balanced Scorecard, the Management Cockpit or flexible planning methods. The book describes the methodology and implementation of a powerful tool for enterprise management.

We have also included a new chapter on the behaviour of the hydrogen atom in strong magnetic fields. The results are of profound interest for two very different fields of physics: on the one hand, according to classical physics, one expects chaotic behaviour from Rydberg atoms in magnetic fields that can be created in the laborato ry;

In the age of Archimedes and Euclid, science as we know it was born, and gave rise to sophisticated technology that would not be seen again until 18th century. What were the landmarks in the meteoric rise of science 2300 years ago? Why are they so little known even among scientists, classicists and historians? This title discusses these questions.

Names are important elements to handle the diversity of items in daily life - persons, objects, animals, plants, etc. More importantly, vemacular names in any given language are usually only available for the plants growing locally, or for plants of some special importance, such as crops and vegetables, medicinal plants, or important garden plants.

This book offers a theoretical and empirical approach to data fusion, used in information retrieval in complex, diverse settings such as web and social networks, legal, enterprise and others. Discusses, analyzes and ealuates typical data fusion algorithms.

This book develops a computer program for deriving complex Dyson-Schwinger equations. It offers an important theoretical contribution to our understanding of quark confinement. Winner of the prestigious Viktor Hess Prize of the Austrian Physical Society.

This book offers a hands-on review of speech intelligibility measurement methods that helps readers quickly measure or estimate speech intelligibility in their own systems. Introduces speech quality measures, and details intelligibility measurement methods.

This book extends classic wireless transceiver design techniques to MIMO transceivers. Covers MIMO single carrier and OFDM modulation, RF and MIMO transceiver design, MIMO transmitter design and much more. Includes many design equations and illustrations.

This book covers the fundamentals, physical phenomena and mathematical modeling of a wide range of engineering applications. It presents the material in an easy to follow form, using graphical illustrations and examples for maximum effect.

This book offers an advanced introduction to models of credit risk valuation, concentrating on firm-value and reduced-form approaches and their application. The book provides detailed descriptions of the state-of-the-art martingale methods and advanced numerical implementations based on multivariate trees used to price derivative credit risk.

The aim of the book is the presentation of the fundamental mathematical and physical concepts of continuum mechanics of solids in a unified description so as to bring young researchers rapidly close to their research area. This mathematical tool is presented such that study of the book is possible without permanent reference to other works.

In addition, it details some interesting applications of the general theory of vortices, such as applications in numerical methods, stability theory, and the theory of exact integration of equations of dynamics.

The primary goal of this book is unifying and making more widely accessible the vibrant stream of research - spanning more than two decades - on the theory of semi-feasible algorithms. In doing so it demonstrates the richness inherent in central notions of complexity: running time, nonuniform complexity, lowness, and NP-hardness.

This is an updated English translation of Cohomologie Galoisienne, published more than thirty years ago as one of the very first versions of Lecture Notes in Mathematics. It includes a reproduction of an influential paper by R. Steinberg, together with some new material and an expanded bibliography.

This introduction to the discrete wavelet transform and its applications is based on a novel approach to discrete wavelets called lifting. The time-frequency plane is used for interpretation of signals, problems with finite length signals are detailed, and MATLAB is used for examples and implementation of transforms.

Inter-organizational Cooperation with SAP Solutions - now in its second edition -describes the potential for cooperation in supply chain networks as well as the use of mySAP solutions in an inter-organizational context.

Bifurcation theory and catastrophe theory are two well-known areas within the field of dynamical systems. Catastrophe theory is accurately described as singularity theory and its (genuine) applications.

Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) is a powerful technique for surface analysis with atomic resolution. The book appeals to researchers, advanced students and analysts in industrial laboratories.
