Nearly a quarter of a century ago, three mathematicians created the first and definitive book on mathematical games. Now, this classic is being republished in a completely revised edition, broken down into four volumes to accommodate new developments and to reorganize the material in the most accessible way. In Volume 1, the authors present theories and techniques to dissect games of varied structures and formats in order to develop winning strategies. The irreverent yet highly effective style of the book, as reflected in some of the reviews, makes reading a profitable pleasure. The

An introduction to the theory of modern medical image processing, including the analysis of data from - X-ray computer tomography, - magnetic resonance imaging, - nuclear medicine, - and ultrasound. Using an algorithmic approach, and providing the mathematical, statistical, or signal processing as needed for background, the authors describe the principles of all methods implemented in the Insight Toolkit (ITK), a freely available, open- source, object-oriented library. The emphasis is on providing intuitive descriptions of the principles and illustrative examples of results from th

Generating functions, one of the most important tools in enumerative combinatorics, are a bridge between discrete mathematics and continuous analysis. Generating functions have numerous applications in mathematics, especially in * Combinatorics* Probability Theory* Statistics* Theory of Markov Chains* Number Theory One of the most important and relevant recent applications of combinatorics lies in the development of Internet search engines whose incredible capabilities dazzle even the mathematically trained user.
