This authoritative encyclopedia helps to master the large variety of physical phenomena and technological aspects involved in laser technology and the wider field of photonics. Besides explaining in detail the physical principles and common techniques of laser operation, it also addresses such supplementary topics as ultrashort pulses, optical communications, optoelectronics, general optics, and quantum optics. References to selected scientific articles and textbooks aid readers in their further studies, and the cross-disciplinary approach makes this encyclopedia of huge benefit to a wide audi

Magnetism is one of the most pervasive features of the Universe, with planets, stars and entire galaxies all having associated magnetic fields. All of these fields are generated by the motion of electrically conducting fluids, the so-called dynamo effect. The precise details of what drives the motion, and indeed what the fluid consists of, differ widely though. In this work the authors draw upon their expertise in geophysical and astrophysical MHD to explore some of these phenomena, and describe the similarities and differences between different magnetized objects. They also explain why magn

This book contains computational methods for numerically computing steady state and Hopf bifurcations. It is probably the first textbook to describe these types of numerical bifurcation techniques. The book requires only a basic knowledge of calculus, and uses detailed examples, problems, and figures. This will be appropriate as a textbook for graduate students. In the third edition there is a chapter on applications and extensions of standard ODE approaches, for example, to delay equations, to differential-algebraic equations, and to reaction-diffusion problems. Additional material is inser

Researchers or students of the mathematical sciences with an interest in finance will find this book a very helpful and gentle guide to the world of financial engineering. SIAM review (46, 2004). The third edition is thoroughly revised and significantly extended. The largest addition is a new section on analytic methods with main focus on interpolation approach and quadratic approximation. New sections and subsections are among others devoted to risk-neutrality, early-exe

"In an increasingly crowded field of financial engineering titles, Seydel’s Tools for Computational Finance stands out as filling an unmet need. It is an intermediate level text with an extremely practical focus...This is the kind of book you can read quickly, gaining a broad understanding of practical techniques of financial engineering. On the other hand, you can go through it slowly, working through all the examples and exercises in order to gain indepth practical knowledge you can use on the job. For the second edition the author has enlarged the chapter on Monte Carlo Simulation,
