Physics Of Space Plasmas An Introduction

Physics Of Space Plasmas An Introduction

This textbook was developed to provide seniors and first-year graduate students in physical sciences with a general knowledge of electrodynamic phenomena in space. Since the launch of the first unmanned satellite in 1957 experiments have been performed to study the behavior of electromagnetic fields and charged particles. There is now a considerable amount of data on hand and many articles including excellent review articles have been written for the specialists. However for students new researchers and non-specialists a need still exists for a book that integrates these observations in a coherent way. This book is an attempt to meet that need by using the theory of classical electrodynamics to unify space observations. The contents of this book are based on classroom notes developed for an introductory space physics course that the author has taught for many years at the University of Washington. Students taking the course normally have had an undergraduate course in electricity and magnetism but they come with very little knowledge about space. | Physics Of Space Plasmas An Introduction

Introduction to Spatial Econometrics

Introduction to Spatial Econometrics

Although interest in spatial regression models has surged in recent years a comprehensive up-to-date text on these approaches does not exist. Filling this void Introduction to Spatial Econometrics presents a variety of regression methods used to analyze spatial data samples that violate the traditional assumption of independence between observations. It explores a wide range of alternative topics including maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation various types of spatial regression specifications and applied modeling situations involving different circumstances. Leaders in this field the authors clarify the often-mystifying phenomenon of simultaneous spatial dependence. By presenting new methods they help with the interpretation of spatial regression models especially ones that include spatial lags of the dependent variable. The authors also examine the relationship between spatiotemporal processes and long-run equilibrium states that are characterized by simultaneous spatial dependence. MATLAB® toolboxes useful for spatial econometric estimation are available on the authors’ websites. This work covers spatial econometric modeling as well as numerous applied illustrations of the methods. It encompasses many recent advances in spatial econometric models—including some previously unpublished results.

Introduction to Combinatorics

Introduction to Combinatorics

What Is Combinatorics Anyway?Broadly speaking combinatorics is the branch of mathematics dealingwith different ways of selecting objects from a set or arranging objects. Ittries to answer two major kinds of questions namely counting questions: how many ways can a selection or arrangement be chosen with a particular set of properties; and structural questions: does there exist a selection or arrangement of objects with a particular set of properties?The authors have presented a text for students at all levels of preparation. For some this will be the first course where the students see several real proofs. Others will have a good background in linear algebra will have completed the calculus stream and will have started abstract algebra. The text starts by briefly discussing several examples of typical combinatorial problemsto give the reader a better idea of what the subject covers. The nextchapters explore enumerative ideas and also probability. It then moves on toenumerative functions and the relations between them and generating functions and recurrences. Important families of functions or numbers and then theorems are presented. Brief introductions to computer algebra and group theory come next. Structures of particular interest in combinatorics: posets graphs codes Latin squares and experimental designs follow. Theauthors conclude with further discussion of the interaction between linear algebraand combinatorics. FeaturesTwo new chapters on probability and posets. Numerous new illustrations exercises and problems.
