      Mathematical Approaches to Molecular Structural Biology offers a comprehensive overview of the mathematical foundations behind the study of biomolecular structure. Initial chapters provide an introduction to the mathematics associated with the study of molecular structure, such as vector spaces and matrices, linear systems, matrix decomposition, vector calculus, probability and statistics. The book then moves on to more advanced areas of molecular structural biology based on the mathematical concepts discussed in earlier chapters. Here, key methods such as X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy are explored, in addition to biomolecular structure dynamics within the context of mathematics and physics. This book equips readers with an understanding of the fundamental principles behind structural biology, providing researchers with a strong groundwork for further investigation in both this and related fields.

      AI Assurance: Towards Trustworthy, Explainable, Safe, and Ethical AI provides readers with solutions and a foundational understanding of the methods that can be applied to test AI systems and provide assurance. Anyone developing software systems with intelligence, building learning algorithms, or deploying AI to a domain-specific problem (such as allocating cyber breaches, analyzing causation at a smart farm, reducing readmissions at a hospital, ensuring soldiers’ safety in the battlefield, or predicting exports of one country to another) will benefit from the methods presented in this book. As AI assurance is now a major piece in AI and engineering research, this book will serve as a guide for researchers, scientists and students in their studies and experimentation. Moreover, as AI is being increasingly discussed and utilized at government and policymaking venues, the assurance of AI systems—as presented in this book—is at the nexus of such debates.
