This reader provides an introduction to the gendering of science and the impact women are making in laboratories around the world. The republished essays included in this collection are both personal...

The conventional wisdom was that biology influenced mathematics and computer science. But a new approach has taken hold: that of transferring methods and tools from computer science to biology. The...

Lines and Electromagnetic Fields for Engineers takes an unusual approach by emphasizing engineering applications (transmission lines, propagation, and waveguides) while downplaying static fields...

Massive data acquisition technologies--such as genome sequencing, high-throughput drug screening, and DNA arrays--are in the process of revolutionizing biology and medicine. This concise,...

This is a two volume introduction to the computational solution of differential equations using a unified approach organized around the adaptive finite element method. It presents a synthesis of...

With recent discoveries in the fields of cell biology and molecular genetics, Clark explores the evolutionary origin of aging, the cellular connections between aging and cancer, plus more.

Justice requires that we tolerate the chance of such errors and that we resist the temptation to demand the most science intensive evaluation of each substance in order to protect individuals better...

Engineers need hands-on experience in solving complex engineering problems with computers. This text introduces numerical methods and shows how to develop, analyze, and use them. A thorough and...

This text by one of the originators of the cluster variation method of statistical mechanics is aimed at second- and third-year graduate students studying such topics as the theory of complex...

The term 'genetic engineering' has quickly become commonplace in the modern world. But how much do we know about this relatively new science? This book discusses the implications of genetic...

A blueprint for the investigation of neurodevelopmental disorders, this book presents the work of a team of scientists using a multidisciplinary, integrated approach to link genes with human behavior...

This wide-ranging collection of essays is inspired by the memory of the cognitive psychologist John Macnamara, whose influential contributions to language and concept acquisition have provided the...

Some of the most exciting scientific developments in recent years have come not from theoretical physicists, astronomers, or molecular biologists but instead from the chemistry lab. Chemists have...

This is a rare and much-needed book: a concise but comprehensive account of quantum mechanics for popular science readers written by a respected physicist. Sam Treiman--internationally renowned for...

In this book Professor Lusztig solves an interesting problem by entirely new methods: specifically, the use of cohomology of buildings and related complexes. The book gives an explicit construction...

A classic treatment of game theory from the acclaimed Annals of Mathematics Studies seriesPrinceton University Press is proud to have published the Annals of Mathematics Studies since 1940. One of...

This work is a fresh presentation of the Ahlfors-Weyl theory of holomorphic curves that takes into account some recent developments in Nevanlinna theory and several complex variables. The treatment...
