The boss of New York’s infamous Lucchese crime family, Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso’s life in the Mafia was preordained from birth. His rare talent for "earning"—concocting ingenious schemes to hijack trucks, rob banks, and bring vast quantities of drugs into New York—fueled his unstoppable rise up the ladder of organized crime. A mafioso responsible for at least fifty murders, Casso lived large, with a beautiful wife and money to burn. When the law finally caught up with him in 1994, Casso became the thing he hated most—an informer. From his blood feud with John Gotti to his d

Il processo per giungere, al letto del malato, ad una diagnosi in campo neurologico si avvale del rilevamento anamnestico e prosegue con il riscontro obiettivo. Anche se i dati anamnestici appaiono a volte frammentari e non pertinenti, un rilevamento attento e sperimentato ritrova quasi sempre un elemento pilota, cioè un sintomo o un gruppo di sintomi da considerare fondamentali per un corretto ragionamento clinico-diagnostico. Questi sintomi sono individuati e descritti come ’sintomo bersaglio’ o ’sintomo pilota’. Quando i dati anamnestici sono insufficiente o non con

Simulation and Monte Carlo is aimed at students studying for degrees in Mathematics, Statistics, Financial Mathematics, Operational Research, Computer Science, and allied subjects, who wish an up-to-date account of the theory and practice of Simulation. Its distinguishing features are in-depth accounts of the theory of Simulation, including the important topic of variance reduction techniques, together with illustrative applications in Financial Mathematics, Markov chain Monte Carlo, and Discrete Event Simulation. Each chapter contains a good selection of exercises and solutions with an accom

"Indiscrete Thoughts" gives a rare glimpse into a world that has seldom been described, that of science and technology as seen through the eyes of a mathematician. The era covered by this book, 1950 to 1990, was surely one of the golden ages of science and the American university as well. Cherished myths are debunked along the way as Gian-Carlo Rota takes pleasure in portraying, warts and all, some of the great scientific personalities of the period - Stanislav Ulam (who, together with Edward Teller, signed the patent application for the hydrogen bomb), Solomon Lefschetz (Chairman in the 50s o

This introduction to Monte Carlo methods seeks to identify and study the unifying elements that underlie their effective application. Initial chapters provide a short treatment of the probability and statistics needed as background, enabling those without experience in Monte Carlo techniques to apply these ideas to their research. The book focuses on two basic themes: The first is the importance of random walks as they occur both in natural stochastic systems and in their relationship to integral and differential equations. The second theme is that of variance reduction in general and importan
