Well written and accessible to undergraduates or anybody who would like to obtain a quick but well-rounded introduction to fractal analysis. It is highly recommended and will certainly find a well-deserving place on many bookshelves. -- Peter R. Massopust Mathematical Reviews The subject matter of this book is important to all mathematical scientists... Is this a good book for your library? It's better than that. Put this slim volume in your backpack next time you hiking by the sea. -- Michael F. Barnsley SIAM Review
Paper folding not only simplifies the learning of mathematics it also builds an experiential base necessary for further learning. The exercises in this publication, appropriate at various grade levels, lead students to discover and demonstrate such mathematical relationships as reflections, transformations, and symmetry.
Quantitative Business Valuation: A Mathematical Approach for Today's Professionals,2 Ed
Praise for the First Edition of Quantitative Business Valuation A Mathematical Approach for Today's Professionals "Jay Abrams' book is close to the equivalent of several graduate dissertations rolled into one book. For each topic (covered), he presents a scholarly summary of past research, new empirical research of his own, and his conclusions. It is a well-documented contribution to in-depth understanding of important business valuation issues, and should not be overlooked by the serious practitioner."
Noted expert’s clearly written discussions of essential ideas of highly useful mathematical approach to human behavior and decision-making. Lucid, accessible treatment of such concepts as "utility," "strategy," and the difference between "non-zero" and "zero-sum" games. Minimum of mathematical prerequisites makes it accessible to non-mathematicians.
