(Springer, 2016)This book is aimed at the reader who wishes to gain a working knowledge of time series and forecasting methods as applied in economics, engineering, and the natural and social sciences. Unlike our more advanced book, ... -
Evolutionary Thinking in Medicine
(Springer, 2016)Evolution in medicine?! Never heard of it! This quote, in essence, sums up the reaction of a medical doctor who kindly accepted to review the proposal for this book. Far from substantiating the received idea according ... -
Recommender Systems
(Springer, 2016)“Nature shows us only the tail of the lion. But I do not doubt that the lion belongs to it even though he cannot at once reveal himself because of his enormous size.”– Albert Einstein The topic of recommender systems ... -
Basic Concepts in Computational Physics
(Springer, 2016)Traditionally physics is divided into two fields of activities: theoretical and experimental. As a consequence of the stunning increase in computer power and of the development of more powerful numerical techniques, a ... -
Advanced Quantum Mechanics
(Springer, 2016)Quantum mechanics was invented in an era of intense and seminal scientific research between 1900 and 1928 (and in many regards continues to be developed and expanded) because neither the properties of atoms and electrons, ... -
Foundations of Analytical Chemistry
(Springer, 2018)The authors were compelled to write this book by two main “drivers.” One was their wish to further endorse the strategic significance of the true fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry in order to help students first ... -
An Introduction to Soil Mechanics
(Springer, 2018)This book is the text for the introductory course on Soil Mechanics at Delft University of Technology’s Department of Civil Engineering, as I gave from 1980 until my retirement in 2002. It includes an introduction to the ... -
ArcGIS for Environmental and Water Issues
(Springer, 2018)The study of geographic information systems (GIS) applications is enlightening, challenging, and very interesting. This workbook was created as a guide to students and professionals on the applications of GIS in the ... -
Computational Physics
(Springer, 2017)While the first edition of this textbook was based on a one-year course in computational physics with a rather limited scope, its extent has been increased substantially in the third edition, offering the possibility to ... -
Knowledge Management
(Springer, 2018)On the path towards a knowledge-based society, organisations – firms, public institutions, non-governmental organisations – increasingly face the challenge to mobilise knowledge resources for creating value in a sustainable ... -

Stochastic Processes and Calculus
(Springer, 2016)By now there exist a number of books describing stochastic integrals and stochastic calculus in an accessible manner. Such introductory books, however, typically address an audience having previous knowledge about and ... -
Methods of Mathematical Modelling
(Springer, 2015)In order to explain the purpose of modelling, it is helpful to start by asking: what is a mathematical model? One answer was given by Rutherford Aris [4]: A model is a set of mathematical equations that … provide an ... -
Introduction to Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion
(Springer, 2018)It has been 30 years since the Second Edition. Plasma physics has grown so much that the temptation is to include all that’s new, but I haven’t done that. This is a book for those learning plasma physics for the first ... -
SPSS for Starters and 2nd Levelers
(Springer, 2016)This small book addresses different kinds of data files, as commonly encountered in clinical research and their data analysis on SPSS software. Some 15 years ago serious statistical analyses were conducted by specialist ... -
