Locomotion results from complex, high-dimensional, non-linear, dynamically coupled
interactions between an organism and its environment. Fortunately, simple models we call …

This review covers the group of data-analysis techniques collectively referred to as
symbolization or symbolic time-series analysis. Symbolization involves transformation of raw …

The Emergent Multiverse presents a striking new account of the'many worlds' approach to
quantum theory. The point of science, it is generally accepted, is to tell us how the world …

Since its publication twenty years ago, Brian Massumi's pioneering Parables for the Virtual
has become an essential text for interdisciplinary scholars across the humanities. Massumi …

Some of these problems are well known. In fact, included are what I believe to be the three
greatest open problems of mathematics: the Riemann Hypothesis, the Poincar~ Conjecture …

This book is based on a two-semester course in ordinary differential equations that I have
taught to graduate students for two decades at the University of Missouri. The scope of the …

In Chapter 1, we have seen how the algebra of the polynomial rings k [x1,..., xn] and the
geometry of affine algebraic varieties are linked. In this chapter, we will study the method of …

For centuries, astronomers have been interested in the motions of the planets and in
methods to calculate their orbits. Since Newton, mathematicians have been fascinated by …

We review what has been learned recently using N-body simulations about the evolution of
globular clusters. While simulations of star clusters have become more realistic, and now …

On one level, this text can be viewed as suitable for a traditional course on ordinary
differential equations (ODEs). Since differential equations are the basis for models of any …
