The past 30 years have seen an explosion in the number and variety of baseball books and articles. Following the lead of pioneers Bill James, John Thorn, and Pete Palmer, researchers have steadily challenged the ways we think about player and team performance--and along the way revised what we thought we knew of baseball history. This book by the authors of Understanding Sabermetrics (2008) goes beyond the explanation of new statistics to demonstrate their use in solving some of the more familiar problems of baseball research, such as how to compare players across generations; how to account for the effects of ballparks and rules changes; and how to measure the effectiveness of the sacrifice bunt or the range of the Gold Glove-winning shortstop.

Wavelet Toolware: Software for Wavelat Training

Publisher: Academic Pr | ISBN: 0121745953 | edition 1998 | PDF | 81 pages | 4,1 mb Designed for the reader to gain hands-on experience in the subject of wavelets. This package contains simple signal processing applications, one-dimensional and two-dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transforms (DWTs) and their inverse transforms, and computations of the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) and the Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT). about this ebook

Regularity of Minimal Surfaces

Springer | 2010 | ISBN: 364211699X | 668 pages | PDF | 5,4 MB Regularity of Minimal Surfaces begins with a survey of minimal surfaces with free boundaries. Following this, the basic results concerning the boundary behaviour of minimal surfaces and H-surfaces with fixed or free boundaries are studied. In particular, the asymptotic expansions at interior and boundary branch points are derived, leading to general Gauss-Bonnet formulas. about this ebook

Minimal Surfaces

Springer | 2010 | ISBN: 3642116973 | 708 pages | PDF | 14 MB Minimal Surfaces is the first volume of a three volume treatise on minimal surfaces (Grundlehren Nr. 339-341). Each volume can be read and studied independently of the others. The central theme is boundary value problems for minimal surfaces. The treatise is a substantially revised and extended version of the monograph Minimal Surfaces I, II (Grundlehren Nr. about this ebook

Global Analysis of Minimal Surfaces

Springer | 2010 | ISBN: 3642117058 | 584 pages | PDF | 4,1 MB Many properties of minimal surfaces are of a global nature, and this is already true for the results treated in the first two volumes of the treatise. Part I of the present book can be viewed as an extension of these results. For instance, the first two chapters deal with existence, regularity and uniqueness theorems for minimal surfaces with partially free boundaries. about this ebook

The Art of Proof: Basic Training for Deeper Mathematics

Springer | 2010 | ISBN: 1441970223 | 182 pages | PDF | 1,8 MB Presents fundamental mathematics, integers and real numbers, in a way that asks for student participation, while teaching how mathematics is done Provides students with methods and ideas they can use in future courses Primarily for: undergraduates who have studied calculus or linear algebra; mathematics teachers and teachers-in-training; scientists and social scientists who want to strengthen their command of mathematical methods Extra topics in appendices give instructor flexibility The Art of Proof is designed for a one-semester or two-quarter course. about this ebook

Analysis and Design of Univariate Subdivision Schemes

Springer | 2010 | ISBN: 3642136478 | 200 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB This book covers the theory of subdivision curves in detail, which is a prerequisite for that of subdivision surfaces. The book reports on the currently known ways of analysing a subdivision scheme (i.e. measuring criteria which might be important for the application of a scheme to a given context). It then goes on to consider how those analyses can be used in reverse to design a scheme best matching the particular criteria for a given application. about this ebook
