Both in science and in practical affairs we reason by combining facts only inconclusively supported by evidence. Building on an abstract understanding of this process of combination, this book constructs a theory of epistemic probability. It opens with a critique of the well-known Bayesian theory of epistemic probability.

Marketing Models are neither just Statistics nor just Marketing, but a synthesis of the information sources creating a cohesive predictive system. If you're looking for a book that talks about the logic of marketing and the design of statistical models in an integrated way to increase model accuracy and improve business profits, then this book was written for you.

In 1824, a young Norwegian named Niels Henrik Abel proved conclusively that algebraic equations of the fifth order are not solvable in radicals. In this work, Peter Pesic shows what an important event this was in the history of thought. He also presents it as a remarkable human story.

Reciprocity laws of various kinds play a central role in number theory. This book states several reciprocity laws in terms of abelian varieties, theta functions, and modular functions of several variables, including Siegel modular functions. It also covers the zeta function of an abelian variety as a main theme.

One of the most prominent mathematicians of the twentieth century, Abraham Robinson discovered and developed nonstandard analysis, a rigorous theory of infinitesimals that he used to unite mathematical logic with the larger body of historic and modern mathematics. In this first biography of Robinson, Joseph Dauben reveals the mathematician's person

The aim of this work is to present a unified approach to the modern field of control theory and to provide a technique for making problems involving deterministic, stochastic, and adaptive processes of both linear and nonlinear type amenable to machine solution. Mr. Bellman has used the theory of dynamic programming to formulate, analyze, and prepa

The present volume contains all but two of the papers read at the conference, as well as a few papers and short notes submitted afterwards. We hope that it reflects faithfully the present state of research in the fields covered, and that it may provide an access to these fields for future investigations.

Between inventing the concept of a universal computer in 1936 and breaking the German Enigma code during World War II, Alan Turing (1912-1954), the British founder of computer science and artificial intelligence, came to Princeton University to study mathematical logic. Some of the greatest logicians in the world--including Alonzo Church, Kurt Gode
