Descriere: @lt;b@gt;HERE'S AN ABSOLUTE VALUE FOR ANYONE WISHING TO MASTER PRE-CALCULUS!@lt;/b@gt;@lt;p@gt;Calculus is a cinch with pre-calculus under your belt -- and calculus is a must for any science, math, or computer science major. Pre-calculus by itself deepens your understanding of mathematics and improves your performance on standardized pre-college and college tests. Now anyone can master pre-calculus -- without formal training, unlimited time, or a genius IQ. In @lt;i@gt;Pre-Calculus Demystified, @lt;/i@gt; best-selling author and teacher Rhonda Huettenmueller breaks pre-calculus down into manageable bites with practical examples, solutions, graphs, practice questions, and a fresh approach that removes the mystery from pre-calc concepts.@lt;p@gt;Unlike most books on pre-calculus, general concepts are presented first -- and the details follow. In order to make the process as clear and simple as possible, long computations are presented in a logical, layered progression with just one execution per step.@lt;p@gt;This entertaining self-teaching course makes it fun and easy to learn precalculus fast. Get ready to: @lt;ul@gt;@lt;li@gt;Perform better on placement exams@lt;li@gt;Avoid confusion with detailed examples and solutions that help you every step of the way@lt;li@gt;Conquer such topics as absolute value, nonlinear inequalities, inverses, trigonometric functions, and conic sections.@lt;li@gt;Get comfortable with functions, graphs of functions, logarithms, exponents, and more@lt;li@gt;Master a subject that will help you with calculus, geometry, trigonometry, physics, chemistry, computing, and engineering@lt;li@gt;Reinforce learning and pinpoint weaknesses with questions at the end of every chapter, and a final exam at the end of the book@lt;/ul@gt;@lt;p@gt;@lt;i@gt;Pre-Calculus Demystified@lt;/i@gt; is the perfect shortcut to learning or brushing up on this important subject.

Dependence Modeling: Vine Copula Handbook
This book is a collaborative effort from three workshops held over the last three years, all involving principal contributors to the vine-copula methodology. Research and applications in vines have been growing rapidly and there is now a growing need to collate basic results, and standardize terminology and methods. Specifically, this handbook will (1) trace historical developments, standardizing notation and terminology, (2) summarize results on bivariate copulae, (3) summarize results for regular vines, and (4) give an overview of its applications. In addition, many of these results are new and not readily available in any existing journals. New research directions are also discussed.
