This book was released on 2010-02-11 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “McCloskey and Ziliak have been pushing this very elementary, very correct, very important argument through several articles over several years and for reasons I cannot fathom it is still resisted. If it takes a book to get it across, I hope this book will do it. It ought to.” —Thomas Schelling, Distinguished University Professor, School of Public Policy, University of Maryland, and 2005 Nobel Prize Laureate in Economics “With humor, insight, piercing logic and a nod to history, Ziliak and McCloskey show how economists—and other scientists—suffer from a mass delusion about statistical analysis. The quest for statistical significance that pervades science today is a deeply flawed substitute for thoughtful analysis. . . . Yet few participants in the scientific bureaucracy have been willing to admit what Ziliak and McCloskey make clear: the emperor has no clothes.” —Kenneth Rothman, Professor of Epidemiology, Boston University School of Health The Cult of Statistical Significance shows, field by field, how “statistical significance,” a technique that dominates many sciences, has been a huge mistake. The authors find that researchers in a broad spectrum of fields, from agronomy to zoology, employ “testing” that doesn’t test and “estimating” that doesn’t estimate. The facts will startle the outside reader: how could a group of brilliant scientists wander so far from scientific magnitudes? This study will encourage scientists who want to know how to get the statistical sciences back on track and fulfill their quantitative promise. The book shows for the first time how wide the disaster is, and how bad for science, and it traces the problem to its historical, sociological, and philosophical roots. Stephen T. Ziliak is the author or editor of many articles and two books. He currently lives in Chicago, where he is Professor of Economics at Roosevelt University. Deirdre N. McCloskey, Distinguished Professor of Economics, History, English, and Communication at the University of Illinois at Chicago, is the author of twenty books and three hundred scholarly articles. She has held Guggenheim and National Humanities Fellowships. She is best known for How to Be Human* Though an Economist (University of Michigan Press, 2000) and her most recent book, The Bourgeois Virtues: Ethics for an Age of Commerce (2006).

Download or read book Inside Calculus written by George R. Exner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-01-08 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The approach here relies on two beliefs. The first is that almost nobody fully understands calculus the first time around. The second is that graphing calculators can be used to simplify the theory of limits for students. This book presents the theoretical pieces of introductory calculus, using appropriate technology, in a style suitable to accompany almost any first calculus text. It offers a large range of increasingly sophisticated examples and problems to build an understanding of the notion of limit and other theoretical concepts. Aimed at students who will study fields in which the understanding of calculus as a tool is not sufficient, the text uses the "spiral approach" of teaching, returning again and again to difficult topics, anticipating such returns across the calculus courses in preparation for the first analysis course. Suitable as the "content" text for a transition to upper level mathematics course.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Specialized resource providing detailed coverage of recent advances in theory and applications of sparse arrays Sparse Arrays for Radar, Sonar, and Communications discusses various design approaches of sparse arrays, including those seeking to increase the corresponding one-dimensional and two-dimensional virtual array apertures, as well as others that configure the arrays based on solutions of constrained minimization problems. The latter includes statistical bounds and signal-to-interference and noise ratio; in this respect, the book utilizes the recent strides made in convex optimizations and machine learning for sparse array configurability in both fixed and dynamic environments. Similar ideas are presented for sparse array-waveform design. The book also discusses the role of sparse arrays in improving target detection and resolution in radar, improving channel capacity in massive MIMO, and improving underwater target localization in sonar. It covers different sparse array topologies, and provides various approaches that deliver the optimum and semi-optimum sparse array transceivers. . Edited by a world-leading expert in Radar and Signal Processing and contributed to by world-class researchers in their respective fields, Sparse Arrays for Radar, Sonar, and Communications covers topics including: Utilizing sparse arrays in emerging technologies and showing their offerings in various sensing and communications applications Applying sparse arrays to different environments and obtain superior performances over conventional uniform arrays Solving the localization, beamforming, and direction-finding problems using non-uniform array structures for narrowband and wideband signals Designing sparse array structures for both stationary and moving platforms that produce physical and synthesized array apertures. Using deep neural networks that learn the underlying complex nonlinear model and output the sparse array configuration using representations of the input data spatio-temporal observations Solving for optimum sparse array configurations and beamforming coefficients in sensing using iterative convex optimization methods Providing complete coverage of the recent considerable progress in sparse array design and configurations, Sparse Arrays for Radar, Sonar, and Communications is an essential resource on the subject for graduate students and engineers pursuing research and applications in the broad areas of active/passive sensing and communications.

Download or read book Encyclopaedia of Mathematics written by Michiel Hazewinkel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1993-01-31 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF MATHEMATICS aims to be a reference work for all parts of mathe matics. It is a translation with updates and editorial comments of the Soviet Mathematical Encyclopaedia published by 'Soviet Encyclopaedia Publishing House' in five volumes in 1977-1985. The annotated translation consists of ten volumes including a special index volume. There are three kinds of articles in this ENCYCLOPAEDIA. First of all there are survey-type articles dealing with the various main directions in mathematics (where a rather fme subdivi sion has been used). The main requirement for these articles has been that they should give a reasonably complete up-to-date account of the current state of affairs in these areas and that they should be maximally accessible. On the whole, these articles should be understandable to mathematics students in their first specialization years, to graduates from other mathematical areas and, depending on the specific subject, to specialists in other domains of science, en gineers and teachers of mathematics. These articles treat their material at a fairly general level and aim to give an idea of the kind of problems, techniques and concepts involved in the area in question. They also contain background and motivation rather than precise statements of precise theorems with detailed definitions and technical details on how to carry out proofs and constructions. The second kind of article, of medium length, contains more detailed concrete problems, results and techniques.

Download or read book Calculus for the Natural Sciences written by Michel Helfgott and published by SIAM. This book was released on 2023-09-11 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this textbook on calculus of one variable, applications to the natural sciences play a central role. Examples from biology, chemistry, and physics are discussed in detail without compromising the mathematical aspects essential to learning differential and integral calculus. Calculus for the Natural Sciences distinguishes itself from other textbooks on the topic by balancing theory, mathematical techniques, and applications to motivate students and bridge the gap between mathematics and the natural sciences and engineering; employing real data to convey the main ideas underlying the scientific method; and using SageMath and R to perform calculations and write short programs, thus giving the teacher more time to explain important concepts. This textbook is intended for first-year students in mathematics, engineering, and the natural sciences and is appropriate for a two-semester course on calculus I and II (freshman calculus of one variable). It can also be used for self-study by engineers and natural scientists.
Download or read book Percolation Theory for Flow in Porous Media written by Allen Hunt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents, for the first time, a unified and comprehensive introduction to some of the basic transport properties of porous media, such as electrical and hydraulic conductivity, air permeability and diffusion. The approach is based on critical path analysis and the scaling of transport properties, which are individually described as functions of saturation. At the same time, the book supplies a tutorial on percolation theory for hydrologists, providing them with the tools for solving actual problems. In turn, a separate chapter serves to introduce physicists to some of the language and complications of groundwater hydrology necessary for successful modeling. The end-of-chapter problems often indicate open questions, which young researchers entering the field can readily start working on. This significantly revised and expanded third edition includes in particular two new chapters: one on advanced fractal-based models, and one devoted to the discussion of various open issues such as the role of diffusion vs. advection, preferential flow vs. critical path, universal vs. non-universal exponents for conduction, and last but not least, the overall influence of the experimental apparatus in data collection and theory validation. "The book is suitable for advanced graduate courses, with selected problems and questions appearing at the end of each chapter. [...] I think the book is an important work that will guide soil scientists, hydrologists, and physicists to gain a better qualitative and quantitative understanding of multitransport properties of soils." (Marcel G. Schaap, Soil Science Society of America Journal, May-June, 2006)
