Mathematical Methods for Engineers and Scientists 1: Complex Analysis, Determinants and Matrices

2 reviews
K.T. Tang

Springer, 2006

Simply Brilliant
Having taken Mathematical Physics from KT Tang at PLU I used this book before it was published. Everything is laid out neatly and concisely making it very understandable and clear. It was easy to learn things straight from the book. Highly recommended for any engineer, physicist, or any other science related profession that needs knowledge of higher mathematics.

Social Determinants of Health: Canadian Perspectives

Canadian Scholars Press, 2004

Policy directions for employment and wellbeing
As a policy analyst working on employment-related issues, I look for research and studies that do the following: ·provide insights into the problems confronting the labour market, ·discuss evidence-based policy changes that will address the problems, ·supply specific recommendations for changes to actual existing laws and policies (since policy makers are more likely to react to these kinds of ...

A modern "classic"!
In its first year of eligibility, this book won the George Hallett Prize given by the Organized Section on Representation and Electoral Systems of the American Political Science Association, a testimony to its status as a "must" addition to the library of anyone interested in electoral systems and their impact. It introduces innovative concepts and arguments and applies them to controversial ...

Oxford Textbook of Public Health: Volume 1: History, Determinants, Scope and Strategies

2 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 1985

Oxford textbook of public health, 4th Edition, 2002
This is a three volume "heavy" textbook, both in weight but certainly also in the scope of its content and the basis for learning public health from an international perspective. This fourth edition is dedicated to professor Walter W Holland, who was the original founding editor of the textbook first published in 1984. The present editors are affiliated with UCLA School of Public Health, ...

Determinants and Their Applications in Mathematical Physics (Applied Mathematical Sciences)

Robert Vein, Paul Dale

Springer, 1998

Vein and Dale's Determinants and Applications
This book, as usual by the excellent Springer publishers, continues the trend launched by the Clifford algebra people (Lounesto, Chisholm, Baylis, Pezzaglia, Okubo, Benn, etc. - see reviews of some of them), namely, to SIMPLIFY the mathematics of physics by using appropriate ALGEBRAIC techniques rather than geometry or calculus or other techniques. Both this book by Vein and Dale and the ...

1 review
R. A. Ochse

Cambridge University Press, 1990

What determines creative genius?
The first two chapters review theories of, and research into, creativity developed in the 20th century. The author suggests a theory of productive creativity that is relevant to both the arts and sciences. The last part of the book focusses on the creative process and offers new answers to the question of what causes inspiration. The books provides a concise, interesting, well written ...

Determinants of a Grammatical Variation (Topics in English Linguistics, 43)

1 review

Walter de Gruyter Inc, 2003

A great read!
Insgesamt kann ich das Buch von Günter Rohdenburg sehr empfehlen. Die Sprache ist zwar sehr wissenschaftlich und theoretisch, vermag es aber dennoch verständlich rüberzukommen. Vorkenntnisse in dem behandelten Gebiet sind aber sicherlich erforderlich. Ich würde es somit lediglich interessierten Studenten des Hauptstudiums empfehlen, da viel Fachterminologie vorausgesetzt wird.

Well written and informative
Every "boomer" should read this book now to slow down the aging process. Nothing too difficult. . . Just common sense recommendations backed up with scientific evidence.

Determinants of Democratization in Africa: A Comparative Study of Benin and Togo

1 review
Mathurin C. Houngnikpo

University Press of America, 2001

Innovative look at democracy in Africa
This is the best book I have read on democratization in a very long time. The author argues persuasively that those interested in democracy should engage, rather than alienate, the military governments that they seek to replace. He supports this thesis with detailed and compelling case studies. This book is highly recommended to anyone interested in democratization.

Tamim A Bayoumi

International Monetary Fund, 1991

An amazing find
This book is a must read, not only for boxing fans seeking more information about the first black heavyweight champion, but also for students of American history and specifically race relations in the U.S. Johnson's writing is insightful, eloquent and scholarly. He refused to allow the abysmal prejudice of whites to deter him from his goals, and enjoyed his life to the fullest. He maintained his ...

Locational determinants of Japanese manufacturing start-ups in the United States (Working paper)

Douglas P Woodward

Center for Urban Policy Research, Rutgers--the State University, 1991

Mind blowing book; needless to say it's simply awesome
I was born in Vietnam during the war. University educated both in Vietnam and Australia; I was brought up to admire and respect Uncle Ho, but never actually knew what he did for Vietnam. Uncle Ho love him or hate him it's your call, for me it's unconditional love . I strongly recommend this book for all Vietnamese patriots; it's worth every cent.

Discriminants, Resultants, and Multidimensional Determinants

1 review
I. M. Gelfand

Birkhauser, 2008

Beautiful Book
This book is wonderful... There is a large portion of geometric intuition on varieties that this book provides that have made learning about dual varieties and descriminants fascinating. As a word of caution though, this book is somewhat densely packed information-wise, and has no exercises - so while really interesting, for initially learning about algebraic geometry, you're probably going to ...

Social Determinants of Health

A ground-breaking, authoritative work
Marmot and Wilkinson do a thorough, comprehensive job of exploring the emerging field of how social inequalities affect the health of populations. This is a great resource both for public health professionals and for those who are looking for an accessible way to be introduced to the topic.

Aldine Transaction, 1994

The gold-standard on determinants of Population Health
In the tradition of Dubos, McKeown, and Geoffrey Rose - but goes further and draws on recent data. By multiple authors. The early chapters make for exhilarating reading. "Producing Health, Consuming Health Care" by Evans and Stoddard in particular will be heavily cited for years to come. Later chapters, on implications for policy, come as a bit of a let down. Ultimately, the book is at its ...

George Polya, Gabor Szegö

Springer, 2004

THE BOOK OF PROBLEMS
Polya and Szego's 1923 two volumes of mathematics problems are still the best collections of problems for people who want to learn advanced undergraduate and graduate level mathematics. When I want to know something about zeros of polynomials, about inequalities for polynomials or trigonometric polynomials, or determinants and quadratic forms, the first place I look is volume 2 of Polya and ...

Determinants of Economic Growth: A Cross-Country Empirical Study (Lionel Robbins Lectures)

2 reviews
Robert J. Barro

The MIT Press, 1998

For advanced students
The person who buys this book must be really acquainted with economics (senior or master). It involves, as the title states, the determinants of growth and inflation, along with political matters. I really liked this book because it gathers econometric models to support the essays that consists in many political variables just as democracy and civil rights. Barro, as a Harvard professor, has a ...

Learning and Individual Differences: Process, Trait, and Content Determinants

1 review

American Psychological Association (APA), 1999

Informative and compelling
This book provides an extensive account of contemporary research in the field of learning and individual differences. Although somewhat dense and directed at an academic audience, it provides the reader with a feeling for the many points of consensus and controversy surrounding the elusive concept known as intelligence. Marvellous (though tough) reading!
