"Of all the tasks programmers are asked to perform, storing, compressing and retrieving information are some of the most challenging--and critical to many applications. Managing Gigabytes: Compressing and Indexing Documents and Images is a treasure trove of theory, practical illustration and general discussion in this fascinating technical subject. Ian Witten, Alistair Moffat and Timothy Bell have updated their original work with ..."
"The problem of missing data is of great practical and theoretical interest in statistics. Applications of Modern Missing Data Methods examines case studies, data analysis, and methods enabled to handle such problems. The book covers several key examples including historically important case studies in which specialized software was used, recent examples using specialized software, and recent examples using generally available software. ..."
"Based on a lecture course in numerical methods in engineering given to second year undergraduates at the University of Manchester, this text is devoted to the solution of problems using numerical methods."
"This book provides an accessible introduction to knot theory, focussing on Vassiliev invariants, quantum knot invariants constructed via representations of quantum groups, and how these two apparently distinct theories come together through the Kontsevich invariant. Consisting of four parts, the book opens with an introduction to the fundamentals of knot theory, and to knot invariants such as the Jones polynomial. The second part introd ..."
