Writing for upper-level high school students and lower-level undergraduates, Barnett (emeritus, mathematics, U. of Bradford, UK) seeks to communicate the flavor of recent applications of mathematics, such as decision mathematics. Topics covered include error-correcting codes (useful, for example,

Quantum Information (Oxford Master Series in Physics)

Quantum information- the subject- is a new and exciting area of science, which brings together physics, information theory, computer science and mathematics. Quantum Information- the book- is based on two successful lecture courses given to advanced undergraduate and beginning postgraduate students in physics. The intention is to introduce readers at this level to the fundamental, but offer rather simple, ideas behind ground-breaking developments including quantum cryptography, teleportation and quantum computing. The text is necessarily rather mathematical in style, but the mathematics nowhere allowed priority over the key physical ideas. My aim throughout was to be as complete and self- contained but to avoid, as far as possible, lengthy and formal mathematical proofs. Each of the eight chapters is followed by about forty exercise problems with which the reader can test their understanding and hone their skills. These will also provide a valuable resource to tutors and lectures. To request a copy of the Solutions Manual, visit: http://global.oup.com/uk/academic/physics/admin/solutions

Intro to Mathematical Control Theory

Techniques of matrix theory find wide application throughout engineering and the physical, life, and social sciences. Consequently, matrix methods comprise an important component in any "tool kit" of applied mathematics. This textbook provides an up-to-date account of these methods suitable for both undergraduates and more advanced students. The author's aim has been to provide a down-to-earch approach with results illustrated with many examples drawn from the areas of application. The range of topics covered is large: from basic matrix algebra to advanced concepts such as generalized inverses and Hadamard matrices, and applications to error-correcting codes, control theory and linear programming. Practicalities are borne in mind throughout and numerous exercises (with answers) will make the book ideal for students. Research workers too will benefit from the accessible accounts of advanced matrix techniques which they use.
