Praise for the first edition:
“Homsy and his colleagues have now provided us with anew and powerful teaching aid... This CD is an ambitiousproject, and, in my view, it has been accomplished withremarkable success ... I have no doubt that this CD-ROMshould be regarded as a ‘set text’ for viscous fluidmechanics courses at the undergraduate or startinggraduate levels.” –Journal of Fluid Mechanics
“… a superb rendition of some of the most importantconcepts in fluid mechanics… This reviewer estimatesthe ration (educational value to cost) to be (almost) infinite… this reviewer highly recommends the CD to instructors as well as students… Multimedia FluidMechanics is an excellent study-companion… it is also a bargain.” – Applied Mechanics Review
MULTIMEDIA FLUID MECHANICS, Second Edition
Allows students to:• Gain insight into and develop intuition about fluid flows• See the mathematical relationships brought to life through movies• Conduct simulations to show the effect of parameter variation.
This completely new edition, now on DVD, has:• Twice the coverage, with new modules on turbulence, control volumes,
interfacial phenomena, and similarity and scaling • Four times the number of fluids movies, now nearly 1,000• Now more than 20 virtual labs and simulations – a threefold increase• Dozens of new interactive demonstrations and animations
Additional new features:• Much-improved navigation via side bars that provide rapid overview of
modules and guided browsing• Media libraries giving a snapshot of movies, each with descriptive labels• Facility to create movie playlists, which are invaluable in teaching• Higher-resolution graphics, with full- or part-screen viewing options

Elementary Probability for ApplicationsRick DurrettCornell University, New York
This clear, lively introduction to probability concentrates on the results that are the most useful for applications. It is designed for a one-semester course for students who have some familiarity with basic calculus. Reflecting the author’s philosophy that the best way to learn probability is to see it in action, there are more than 350 problems and 200 examples.
‘The book has a nice interplay between probability modeling and scientific applications, whether from biology, sports, or discussions of China’s one-child policy. Many of the examples are thought provoking, including ones on DNA samples for paternity cases and others about the O. J. Simpson trial. As an instructor, I enjoy digging into these examples in class.

Financial DerivativesPricing, Applications, and MathematicsJamil BazPIMCO Europe, Ltd. London
and George ChackoHarvard Business School
This book is a graduate level manual on the pricing of financial derivatives. It allows the reader with basic knowledge of finance, calculus, and probability and statistics to understand the most powerful tools in applied finance. The focus is on equity derivatives, interest rate markets, and the mathematics of pricing.
‘This introduction to the modeling of financial derivatives is ideal for quantitatively oriented traders, bank researchers, and masters or doctoral students in this field. The book has an elegant balance of concepts and applications that allows a full understanding of why the models work, without an overburden of technical details. Broader than its title suggests, the book contains a strong grounding in models of stochastic processes for financial applications, including portfolio choice and asset pricing theory.’Darrell Duffie, Stanford University

Lavishly illustrated and entertaining account of the surprising and useful results of the maths of folding and unfolding.
‘Demaine and O’Rourke are among the best-qualified authors for a book on this subject; and the book that they have written is a delight … it is exceptionally clear and readable. It could be read for pleasure by any mathematics undergraduate, and much of it (though not all) by amateurs with a high school mathematics background … although there are sections that some amateurs will skip, the level is always kept as elementary as locally possible. This book should be in all university libraries, and many professional and amateur mathematicians will want to add it to their personal collections.’Robert Dawson (Halifax), Zentralblatt Math

Randomized algorithms have become a central part of the algorithms curriculum, based on their increasingly widespread use in modern. This book presents a coherent and unified account of classical and more advanced techniques for analyzing the performance of such algorithms. The presentation emphasizes discrete settings and elementary notions of probability, making it accessible to computer scientists and applied discrete mathematicians. The relative strengths and weaknesses of the methods are demonstrated by applying them to concrete problems.2009 228 x 152 mm 216pp 12 line figures 168 exercises 978-0-521-88427-3 Hardback c. £40.00 Publication July 2009www.cambridge.org/9780521884273

The books based on Martin Gardner’s enormously popular Scientific American columns and puzzles continue to challenge and fascinate readers. In these new editions, the author, in consultation with experts, has written updates to all the chapters, including new game variations, new mathematical proofs, and connections to recent developments and discoveries. New diagrams and illustrations have been added and old ones improved, and the bibliographies have been greatly expanded throughout.

Hexaflexagons, Probability Paradoxes, and the Tower of HanoiMartin Gardner’s First Book of Mathematical Puzzles and GamesMartin Gardner
This is the first book of the updated collection of Mathematical Games from Martin Gardner, the king of recreational mathematics. As well as the classic puzzles, Gardner has added lots of exclusive new material (game variations, proofs and more). If you like Martin Gardner, you’ll love these books.
‘Gardner’s monthly romp through recreational math and logic ran in Scientific American for 25 years, from the Sputnik splash to the Reagan reign, and nobody has been able to match it since. ‘Mathematical Games’ was an orgy of right-brain tomfoolery that could be approached for superficial fun or deep insight, or both at the same time … I can’t think of a better present for a clever 12-year old, bored undergraduate, restless retiree, or stay-at-home parent fearing intellectual stagnation.’David Brooks, The Telegraph

Praise for the first edition:
“Homsy and his colleagues have now provided us with anew and powerful teaching aid... This CD is an ambitiousproject, and, in my view, it has been accomplished withremarkable success ... I have no doubt that this CD-ROMshould be regarded as a ‘set text’ for viscous fluidmechanics courses at the undergraduate or startinggraduate levels.” –Journal of Fluid Mechanics
“… a superb rendition of some of the most importantconcepts in fluid mechanics… This reviewer estimatesthe ration (educational value to cost) to be (almost) infinite… this reviewer highly recommends the CD to instructors as well as students… Multimedia FluidMechanics is an excellent study-companion… it is also a bargain.” – Applied Mechanics Review
MULTIMEDIA FLUID MECHANICS, Second Edition
Allows students to:• Gain insight into and develop intuition about fluid flows• See the mathematical relationships brought to life through movies• Conduct simulations to show the effect of parameter variation.
This completely new edition, now on DVD, has:• Twice the coverage, with new modules on turbulence, control volumes,
interfacial phenomena, and similarity and scaling • Four times the number of fluids movies, now nearly 1,000• Now more than 20 virtual labs and simulations – a threefold increase• Dozens of new interactive demonstrations and animations
Additional new features:• Much-improved navigation via side bars that provide rapid overview of
modules and guided browsing• Media libraries giving a snapshot of movies, each with descriptive labels• Facility to create movie playlists, which are invaluable in teaching• Higher-resolution graphics, with full- or part-screen viewing options
