GENERAL
George Boole - His Life and
Work
by Desmond MacHale
This book, the first full-length biography of George Boole (1815 - 1864), describes
the mystic genius whose ideas have utterly transformed the world in which we
live. Computers, information storage and retrieval systems, electronic circuits
and almost the entire world of present-day technology depend vitally on the
simple but ingenious mathematics he invented - Boolean Algebra.

William Rowan Hamilton:
Portrait of a Prodigy
by Seán O'Donnell
This new biography describes the life of William Rowan Hamilton (1805 - 1865),
one of the world's most brilliant mathematicians and Ireland's greatest
scientist. Besides being a mathematician extraordinary, Hamilton was also a
child prodigy, poet, philosopher, astronomer and visionary. This book deals with
Hamilton the man, his formidable personality, and examines the various origins
from which his genius seems to spring.

Fundamental Research on the
Numerical Modelling of Semiconductor Devices and Processes
Papers from NUMOS I, the First Intl Workshop on the Numerical Modelling of
Semiconductors
This workshop was concerned with fundamental research on the numerical
modelling of semiconductor devices and processes. It was device orientated and
the emphasis was on long term basic research rather than on state of the art
reports. Two distinct but interdependent research areas were of particular
relevance. The first was the determination of the correct model to describe the
underlying physics of the device or process and, secondly, the development of
effective practical algorithms for the numerical solution of the equations
describing the models.

Analysis of Mathematical
Models of Semiconductor Devices
by Michael S Mock
For purposes of design and analysis, the flow of mobile carriers in the
interior of a semiconductor device is often described by a fairly well-known
system of partial differential equations. As the size of devices has decreased,
with a corresponding increase in the complexity of their dynamics, the
classical assumptions and simplifications used for solution of this system have
become increasingly inappropriate and inadequate. A demand for quantitative
accuracy in the solutions of this problem has been partially satisfied by the
increased use of direct numerical methods. In this context, the book has two
principal objectives: to introduce engineers to some mathematical background of
this problem in general and that of the commonly adopted numerical methods in
particular; and second, to present numerical analysts and other mathematicans
with an interesting problem in nonlinear partial differential equations of
elliptic or parabolic type, with important applications.

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS
BOUNDARY
AND INTERIOR LAYERS - COMPUTATIONAL AND ASYMPTOTIC METHODS (BAIL)
Proceedings of the BAIL
Conferences
The main goal of these conferences is to bring together scientists and
engineers who encounter boundary and interior layers in their research and
mathematicians who apply computational and asymptotic techniques to the
solution of such problems. The volumes contain papers on methods for the
solution of stiff systems of ordinary differential equations, investigations of
singularly perturbed boundary value problems for ordinary and partial
differential equations, solutions of problems in aero- and hydrodynamics,
problems in physics and biology, problems in control theory and many other
areas where boundary and interior layers occur.

Uniform Numerical Methods for
Problems with Initial and Boundary Layers
by Doolan, Miller, Schilders
This monograph contains results from the research of the authors in recent
years concerning uniform numerical methods for problems with initial and
boundary layers. The majority of the results are new and have not been
published before. Those already published have appeared either without proof or
with the proofs given only in outline. The book is a self-contained exposition
of the subject matter. It begins with a graphic demonstration of the birth of
the boundary layer, and this is followed by the main text, which is divided
into three parts. The first two are theoretical in nature, while the last
contains numerical results and FORTRAN programs. In addition, some results of a
technical nature are collected in two appendices, and these are followed by
sections on notation and terminology. It ends with an extensive bibliography of
the relevant literature and an index.

APPLIED MATHEMATICS
Ordinary Differential
Equations
by M Sever
This text contains more than sufficient material for a two-semester first
course in ordinary differential equations. The material included has been
chosen with two specific objectives. First, this book seeks to prepare the
reader for serious courses in partial differential equations, functional
analysis, and numerical analysis. It includes a number of motivating examples
and illustrations of ideas to be pursued in these courses, presented in the
simple framework provided by ordinary differential equations. The reader will
also get considerable practice in basic analysis: the calculus of inequalities,
basic Hilbert space techniques, elementary use of the Dirac delta function.
Second, this book contains introductions to several ideas of current research
interest, including nonlinear boundary value problems, Lyapunov exponents,
finite-element methods, singulary perturbations, and orbits between critical
points of autonomous systems.

The Sixth International Congress of Food Science and Technology had as its
theme 'Development - Welfare - Peace' and the ultimate objective of applying
science and technology to human needs. The most recent advances in the
fundamental aspects of food science and technology were discussed, with special
emphasis on the problems of developing countries, and the influences of social,
economic, cultural and political factors on human nutrition.

Economics or Propaganda
by Arthur Fairbanks
Arthur Fairbanks is the pseudonym of a well-known mathematician, who has
published widely and has held positions at several American universities. His
background thus emphasizes the examination of scientific new ideas, and their
impartial verification or rejection. From this position, he questions whether
economics is in fact a genuine science, objectively pursuing information, or
rather a collection of attempts to rationalize policies which aid the few and
neglect or actually harm the vast majority.

Substance P - Proceedings of the
International Symposium held in Dublin 1983
edited by Peter Skrabanek and David Powell
This book documents the latest developments in SP research presented at the
International Interdisciplinary Substance P Symposium in Dublin, attended by
scientists from more that 20 countries. Substance P, the first brain-gut
peptide, was discovered by U S von Euler and J H Gaddum in 1931. About 2,000
articles have been published since then and, at present, Substance P is the
third most active field in Life Sciences. The most exciting areas are the roles
of Substance P in sensory and autonomic neurotransmission, and in central and
peripheral endocrine regulations, and naturally these aspects are covered in
this book.
