Based on proceedings of a symposium held at the Santa Fe Institute (Oct 27–29, 1997), this volume explores scaling relationships across physiology, biomechanics, ecology, and biodiversity. It synthesizes fundamental allometric patterns, fractal network theory, and ecosystem-level implications. Suitable for advanced undergraduates, researchers, and interdisciplinary audiences.
This introductory statistics textbook blends clear explanations of statistical concepts—such as data description, probability, sampling distributions, hypothesis testing, and linear regression—with practical real-world applications and integrated technology support. Designed for one- or two-semester undergraduate courses, the 9th edition emphasizes statistical thinking, evidence assessmen…
This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to basic arithmetic and pre-algebra skills, with integrated coverage of essential geometry concepts. Designed for developmental math students, the book emphasizes clear instruction, step-by-step problem solving, and real-world applications. The 5th edition includes updated examples, expanded exercises, and practical strategies to build confide…
Designed for a one-semester beginning or introductory algebra course, this successful worktext is appropriate for lecture, learning center, laboratory, or self-paced courses. Maintaining its hallmark features of carefully detailed explanations and accessible pedagogy, this edition of "Beginning Algebra" also addresses the AMATYC and NCTM Standards. In addition to the changes incorporated into t…
This fifth edition of Calculus by James Stewart covers differential and integral calculus of single and multivariable functions, sequences and series, and vectors. The book is known for its clear exposition, real-world examples, and rigorous yet student-friendly approach. This International Student Edition is tailored for use outside the U.S., with identical core content to the original U.S. ed…
A thorough introduction to modern chemical analysis techniques, focusing on the principles and applications of instruments like spectrometers, chromatographs, and electrochemical devices for undergraduate students.
This introductory differential equations book is one of the first to integrate technology throughout the text. Using a computer algebra system (CAS) helps students to solve problems (both specific and general cases), to reason spatially through visualization, to compare changing variables and parameters, to make inferences, and to evaluate outcomes. Students learn how and when to use technology…
A concise introduction to core business statistics, blending theoretical concepts with spreadsheet-based data analysis. Designed for MBA and executive-level courses, it emphasizes decision-making through topics like probability distributions, sampling, regression, forecasting, quality control, and Monte Carlo simulation. Accompanied by a student CD-ROM for hands-on application
This textbook provides a concise and accessible introduction to the essential mathematical tools needed for physical chemistry. Designed specifically for chemistry students, the book covers calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, and other applied mathematics topics in a way that emphasizes their application to chemical problems. The third edition includes expanded examples, practice …
