Problems and Methods in Analysis, Volume 2 provides information pertinent to the methods of calculus. This book provides solutions to problems in analytical calculus. Organized into five chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the integration of functions that are not defined or are not bounded at a finite number of points, and with integrals in which the interval of integration is infinitely large. This text then defines the radius of curvature and provides the formula for curvature and radius of curvature. Other chapters consider the equation of tangent and normal. This book discusses as well the amplitudes of the harmonic components of a set of oscilloscope time base potentials. The final chapter deals with the Euler–Fourier formula, the Fourier series, and Dirichlet's conditions. This book is intended to be suitable for sixth form students, particularly scholarship students. First year university students who need a systematic course in calculus will also find this book useful.

Elementary Analysis, Volume 2 introduces several of the ideas of modern mathematics in a casual manner and provides the practical experience in algebraic and analytic operations that lays a sound foundation of basic skills. This book focuses on the nature of number, algebraic and logical structure, groups, rings, fields, vector spaces, matrices, sequences, limits, functions and inverse functions, complex numbers, and probability. The logical structure of analysis given through the treatment of differentiation and integration, with applications to the trigonometric and logarithmic functions, is also briefly discussed. This volume begins with a description of the trigonometric functions of the general angle and an introduction to the binomial theorem and series. The rest of the chapters cover the numerical solution of equations, analytical geometry, Argand Diagram, numerical methods, and methods of approximation that form an important section of modern applied mathematics. This publication is valuable to teachers and students in training colleges.

A Collection of Problems in Analytical Geometry, Part I: Analytical Geometry in the Plane is a collection of problems dealing with higher analytical geometry. The book discusses elementary problems dealing with plane analytical geometry. The text presents topics on the axis and intervals on an axis and coordinates on a straight line. The book also defines what a rectangular Cartesian coordinates in a plane is, the division of an interval in a given ratio, and shows how to calculate the area of a triangle. The equation of a curve, the functions of two variables, and the concept of an equation of a curve are explained by the use of examples and problems. The author also addresses the geometrical properties of curves of the second order, the equations of a straight line, a circle, an ellipse, a hyperbola, and a parabola. The text then discusses the general theory of second-order curves and emphasizes the equations of the central curves of the second order. The author cites the simplification of these equations as being applicable to theoretical mechanics. This collection of problems can be used by teachers of analytical geometry and their students.

A Collection of Problems in Analytical Geometry, Part II: Three-Dimensional Analytical Geometry is a collection of problems dealing with analytical geometry in the field of theoretical mechanics. The book discusses rectangular Cartesian coordinates in three-dimensional space and the division of an interval in a given ratio. The sample questions concern problems dealing with isosceles triangles, vertices, and center of gravity of equal masses. The book defines the concept of a vector and then lists problems concerning the triangle law and the scalar product of two vectors. Other problems focus on the equations of a surface and a curve and on questions related to the intersection of three surfaces. The text lists other problems such as the equation of a plane, the direction-vector of a straight line, and miscellaneous problems pertaining to the equations of a plane, of a straight line, and of a sphere in a direction-vector. The selection is useful for professors in analytical geometry and for other courses in physic-mathematics and general engineering.

Introductory Statistics is an elementary non-mathematical manual on statistics and provides a connected account of the more common statistical tests. It is divided into two parts: the first part introduces the reader to elementary applications of statistical methods and the line of reasoning involved in their use, and the second part covers elementary parts of statistical theory and more advanced applications. This book consists of nine chapters and opens with a discussion on the presentation of sets of measurements, touching on topics such as sampling, grouping, measures of spread, and standard deviation. The following chapters deal with normal distribution and its applications; comparison of two or several sets of measurements; attributes and comparison of proportions; and interrelations of sets of measurements. Concomitant observations are also considered, along with transformations and non-normal distributions. The final chapter is devoted to sampling methods, including the ratio method and the regression method. This monograph is written primarily for students of statistics and aims to help research workers gain a fuller understanding of the methods used in the analysis of their results.

In this book, we study theoretical and practical aspects of computing methods for mathematical modelling of nonlinear systems. A number of computing techniques are considered, such as methods of operator approximation with any given accuracy; operator interpolation techniques including a non-Lagrange interpolation; methods of system representation subject to constraints associated with concepts of causality, memory and stationarity; methods of system representation with an accuracy that is the best within a given class of models; methods of covariance matrix estimation;methods for low-rank matrix approximations; hybrid methods based on a combination of iterative procedures and best operator approximation; andmethods for information compression and filtering under condition that a filter model should satisfy restrictions associated with causality and different types of memory.As a result, the book represents a blend of new methods in general computational analysis,and specific, but also generic, techniques for study of systems theory ant its particularbranches, such as optimal filtering and information compression.
