Offers a comprehensive account of the Gross-Zagier formula on Shimura curves over real fields relates the heights of Heegner points on abelian varieties to the derivatives of L-series. This title begins with a conceptual formulation of the Gross-Zagier formula in terms of incoherent quaternion algebras and incoherent automorphic representations.

Gould weaves the ideas of some of Western society's greatest thinkers, from Bacon to Galileo to E.O. Wilson, with the uncelebrated ideas of lesser-known yet pivotal intellectuals. He uses their ides to undo an assumption born in the seventeenth century and continuing to this day, that science and the humanities stand in opposition.

Offers the reconstruction of where human populations originated and the paths by which they spread throughout the world. By mapping the worldwide geographic distribution of genes for over 110 traits in over 1800 primarily aboriginal populations, this title offers charted migrations and devised a clock by which to date evolutionary history.

Borrowing from the metaphor of the genome itself, the content of the book provides both information as well as the tools necessary to access that information. Provides in-depth information on the relationships between our genes and all aspects of our daily lives. Addresses health issues that are related to genetic abnormalities

(Paperback)

Presents the analytic foundations to the theory of the hypoelliptic Laplacian. This book shows that the hypoelliptic Laplacian provides a geometric version of the Fokker-Planck equations. It gives the proper functional analytic setting in order to study this operator and develop a pseudodifferential calculus.

A semantically well-defined programming language widely used in artificial intelligence, Prolog has greatly influenced other programming languages since its introduction in the late 1970s. A user may find Prolog deceptively easy, however, and there are a number of different implementations. In this book Patrice Boizumault draws from his extensive e

Explains how computers have brought a fresh practicality to mathematics and mathematical applications. This book explains fuzzy logic, a technique that allows computers to work with imprecise terms. It also discusses 'genetic algorithms' and 'neural networks'. It is intended for both specialists and the general reader.

Given the reality of limited money for conservation efforts, there is a compelling need for scientists to help conservation practitioners set priorities and identify species most in need of urgent attention. This book provides the scientific approaches and analyses available for asking what we can expect from losing (or gaining) species.
