The Mathieu Groups (Cambridge Tracts In Mathematics Ser. #214)
by A. A. IvanovThe Mathieu groups have many fascinating and unusual characteristics and have been studied at length since their discovery. This book provides a unique, geometric perspective on these groups. The amalgam method is explained and used to construct M24, enabling readers to learn the method through its application to a familiar example. The same method is then used to construct, among others, the octad graph, the Witt design and the Golay code. This book also provides a systematic account of 'small groups', and serves as a useful reference for the Mathieu groups. The material is presented in such a way that it guides the reader smoothly and intuitively through the process, leading to a deeper understanding of the topic.
Choice, Decision, and Measurement: Essays in Honor of R. Duncan Luce
by A. A. J. MarleyThis volume is the result of a conference held at the University of California, Irvine, on the topics that provide its title -- choice, decision, and measurement. The conference was planned, and the volume prepared, in honor of Professor R. Duncan Luce on his 70th birthday. Following a short autobiographical statement by Luce, the volume is organized into four topics, to each of which Luce has made significant contributions. The book provides an overview of current issues in each area and presents some of the best recent theoretical and empirical work. Personal reflections on Luce and his work begin each section. These reflections were written by outstanding senior researchers: Peter Fishburn (Preference and Decision Making), Patrick Suppes (Measurement Theory and Axiomatic Systems), William J. McGill (Psychophysics and Reaction Time), and W.K. Estes (Choice, Identification and Categorization). The first section presents recent theoretical and empirical work on descriptive models of decision making, and theoretical results on general probabilistic models of choice and ranking. Luce's recent theoretical and empirical work on rank- and sign-dependent utility theory is important in many of these contributions. The second section presents results from psychophysics, probabilistic measurement, aggregation of expert opinion, and test theory. The third section presents various process oriented models, with supportive data, for tasks such as redundant signal detection, forced choice, and absolute identification. The final section contains theory and data on categorization and attention, and general theoretical results for developing and testing models in these domains.

Psychologie en geneeskunde: Behaviour Medicine
by J. Dekker A. A. Kaptein E.M.A. Smets A.J.J.M. VingerhoetsBij lichamelijke klachten en ziekten spelen gedrag en psychosociale factoren een grote rol. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat ook socioculturele en politiek-economische aspecten van invloed zijn op de gezondheid van de mens. Zo kan een derde deel van de sterfte aan kanker aan gedragsfactoren worden toegeschreven en blijken mensen uit de lagere sociale klassen meer gezondheidsklachten te ervaren. Inmiddels is het allang geen uitzondering meer dat bij de diagnostiek en behandeling van patiënten met lichamelijke aandoeningen psychologische methoden en technieken worden toegepast. Dit boek behandelt de meest voorkomende lichamelijke klachten en ziekten vanuit het gezichtspunt van de Behavioural Medicine. Het beschrijft hoe de psychologie aan de behandeling ervan kan bijdragen. Per aandoening wordt een overzicht gegeven van symptomatologie, epidemiologie, psychologische en sociale aspecten, diagnostiek en behandeling. Nieuw in deze geheel herziene vierde editie is een hoofdstuk over eHealth. In de speciële hoofdstukken beogen compacte behandelprotocollen de lezer snel te informeren over de klinische toepassing van de behavioural medicine-benadering. Sinds de verschijning in 1986 van 'Behavioural Medicine: psychologische behandeling van lichamelijke aandoeningen', de voorloper van deze uitgave, heeft Behavioural Medicine een stormachtige ontwikkeling doorgemaakt. Zo goed als alle ziekenhuizen hebben tegenwoordig een afdeling Medische Psychologie. Ook medici en psychologen werken steeds nauwer samen op het terrein van zowel onderzoek als patiëntenzorg. En op verschillende Nederlandse en Belgische universiteiten worden (klinisch) gezondheidspsychologen en medisch psychologen opgeleid. Het belang van Behavioural Medicine wordt dus steeds meer onderkend. 'Psychologie en geneeskunde - Behavioural Medicine' is geschreven voor huisartsen, psychologen die als practicus of onderzoeker werkzaam zijn in de somatische gezondheidszorg, medisch specialisten, fysiotherapeuten, verpleegkundigen en studenten die een opleiding voor een van deze beroepen volgen.

A Tale of Two Fractals
by A. A. KirillovSince Benoit Mandelbrot's pioneering work in the late 1970s, scores of research articles and books have been published on the topic of fractals. Despite the volume of literature in the field, the general level of theoretical understanding has remained low; most work is aimed either at too mainstream an audience to achieve any depth or at too specialized a community to achieve widespread use. Written by celebrated mathematician and educator A.A. Kirillov, A Tale of Two Fractals is intended to help bridge this gap, providing an original treatment of fractals that is at once accessible to beginners and sufficiently rigorous for serious mathematicians. The work is designed to give young, non-specialist mathematicians a solid foundation in the theory of fractals, and, in the process, to equip them with exposure to a variety of geometric, analytical, and algebraic tools with applications across other areas.
Arithmetic Refresher (Dover Books on Mathematics)
by A. A. KlafThe farther we get from our grade school days, the easier it is to forget those operations and nuances of arithmetical computation that keep recurring in our daily lives: interest and discount problems, time-payment calculations, tax problems, and so on.This handy book is designed to streamline your methods and resharpen your calculation skills for a variety of situations. Starting with the most elementary operations, the book goes on to cover all basic topics and processes of arithmetic: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, percentage, interest, ratio and proportion, denominate numbers, averages, etc. The text continues into other useful matters, such as powers and roots, logarithms, positive and negative numbers, harmonic progression, and introductory concepts of algebra.Entirely practical in approach and using an easy-to-follow question and answer style, this book covers a wide range of common knotty areas: filling and emptying receptacles, scales for models and maps, business and financial calculations (partial payment problems, compound interest, bank and sales discount, profit and loss problems, etc.), angle measurement, mixtures and solutions, graph and chart problems, and the like.The discussion contains numerous alternate and short-cut methods, such as quick ways to figure compound interest; to square a number from 1 to 100; to divide by 5, 25, 125, 99, etc.; to multiply two 2-digit numbers having the same figure in the tens place; and many more. These valuable tips, together with the huge fund of exercise problems (a total of 809, half of them answered in an appendix), help you to increase your computational proficiency and speed, and make this an extremely useful volume to have on your shelf at home or at work. Anyone who has to do any figuring at all -- housewife, merchant, student -- will profit from this refresher. Parents will find it an excellent source of material for helping children in school work.
Calculus Refresher (Dover Books on Mathematics)
by A. A. KlafThis book is unique in English as a refresher for engineers, technicians, and students who either wish to brush up their calculus or find parts of calculus unclear. It is not an ordinary textbook. It is, instead, an examination of the most important aspects of integral and differential calculus in terms of the 756 questions most likely to occur to the technical reader.

Accelerating and Vortex Laser Beams
by V. Kotlyar A. A. KovalevThis book gives insight into the theoretical backgrounds of optical vortices and their propagation in free space and simple optical systems. The author’s theoretical analysis allows full comprehension of recent results and allows a bridge between the mentioned topics. For example, there is a solution for an accelerating beam propagating along an almost half-circle, obtained from a solution for an asymmetric vortex Bessel mode. And vice versa, there is a solution for an optical vortex with accelerating focusing, obtained from a solution for a two-dimensional accelerating Pearcey beam. The book is intended for graduate and postgraduate students studying optics or wave physics.

A Free Will
by David Sedley Michael Frede A. A. LongWhere does the notion of free will come from? How and when did it develop, and what did that development involve? In Michael Frede's radically new account of the history of this idea, the notion of a free will emerged from powerful assumptions about the relation between divine providence, correctness of individual choice, and self-enslavement due to incorrect choice. Anchoring his discussion in Stoicism, Frede begins with Aristotle--who, he argues, had no notion of a free will--and ends with Augustine. Frede shows that Augustine, far from originating the idea (as is often claimed), derived most of his thinking about it from the Stoicism developed by Epictetus.
Letters on Ethics: To Lucilius (The Complete Works of Lucius Annaeus Seneca)
by Lucius Annaeus Seneca A. A. Long Margaret GraverThe Roman statesman and philosopher Seneca (4 BCE-65 CE) recorded his moral philosophy and reflections on life as a highly original kind of correspondence. Letters on Ethics includes vivid descriptions of town and country life in Nero's Italy, discussions of poetry and oratory, and philosophical training for Seneca's friend Lucilius. This volume, the first complete English translation in nearly a century, makes the Letters more accessible than ever before. Written as much for a general audience as for Lucilius, these engaging letters offer advice on how to deal with everything from nosy neighbors to sickness, pain, and death. Seneca uses the informal format of the letter to present the central ideas of Stoicism, for centuries the most influential philosophical system in the Mediterranean world. His lively and at times humorous expositions have made the Letters his most popular work and an enduring classic. Including an introduction and explanatory notes by Margaret Graver and A. A. Long, this authoritative edition will captivate a new generation of readers.
The Cambridge Companion To Early Greek Philosophy
by A. A. LongThe Western tradition of philosophy began in Greece with a cluster of thinkers often called the Presocratics, whose influence has been incalculable. They include the early Ionian cosmologists, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, the Eleatics (Parmenides, Melissus, and Zeno), Empedocles, Anaxagoras, the atomists and the sophists. All these thinkers are discussed in this 1999 volume both as individuals and collectively in chapters on rational theology, epistemology, psychology, rhetoric and relativism, justice, and poetics. A chapter on causality extends the focus to include historians and medical writers.
