Download or read book Discrete Mathematics written by Oscar Levin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This gentle introduction to discrete mathematics is written for first and second year math majors, especially those who intend to teach. The text began as a set of lecture notes for the discrete mathematics course at the University of Northern Colorado. This course serves both as an introduction to topics in discrete math and as the "introduction to proof" course for math majors. The course is usually taught with a large amount of student inquiry, and this text is written to help facilitate this. Four main topics are covered: counting, sequences, logic, and graph theory. Along the way proofs are introduced, including proofs by contradiction, proofs by induction, and combinatorial proofs. The book contains over 360 exercises, including 230 with solutions and 130 more involved problems suitable for homework. There are also Investigate! activities throughout the text to support active, inquiry based learning. While there are many fine discrete math textbooks available, this text has the following advantages: It is written to be used in an inquiry rich course. It is written to be used in a course for future math teachers. It is open source, with low cost print editions and free electronic editions.
Download or read book Introduction to Geometric Probability written by Daniel A. Klain and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-12-11 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to present the three basic ideas of geometrical probability, also known as integral geometry, in their natural framework. In this way, the relationship between the subject and enumerative combinatorics is more transparent, and the analogies can be more productively understood. The first of the three ideas is invariant measures on polyconvex sets. The authors then prove the fundamental lemma of integral geometry, namely the kinematic formula. Finally the analogues between invariant measures and finite partially ordered sets are investigated, yielding insights into Hecke algebras, Schubert varieties and the quantum world, as viewed by mathematicians. Geometers and combinatorialists will find this a most stimulating and fruitful story.

Download or read book Adaptive Radar Detection and Estimation written by Simon Haykin and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1992-04-15 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptive processing in a radar environment is necessary due to its inherently nonstable nature. A detailed mathematical treatment of the important issues in adaptive radar detection and estimation is offered. Since much of the material presented has not appeared in book form, you'll find this work fills an important gap in the known literature. Following an overview of the subject, contributors develop model-based techniques for the detection of radar targets in the presence of clutter; discuss minimum variance beamforming techniques; consider maximum likelihood bearing estimation in beamspace for an adaptive phased array radar; present an algorithm for angle-of-arrival estimation; and describe the method of multiple windows for spectrum estimation.
