SC - 678 | Tumors of the pediatric central nervous system

Tumors of the pediatric central nervous system by Keating, Goodrich, Packer

This is the first book to achieve an integrated medical and surgical approach to tumors of the pediatric nervous system, giving you a broad array of treatment options. You will find full coverage of the newest diagnostic and management techniques, state-of-the-art technologies, molecular biology advances, and the latest trends in the operating theatre.

And you will benefit from in-depth discussions of the most commonly seen tumors as well as the rarer and more esoteric ones.Special benefits of Tumors of the Pediatric Nervous System include: Full discussions of medical and surgical treatment protocols, with advantages, disadvantages, complications, and outcomes of each Coverage of dramatic advances in genetics, molecular biology and surgery (e.g. endoscopic, frameless, stereotaxy) as well as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy Dozens of case studies by leaders in the field offering important clinical insights Numerous algorithms, charts, tables, and management guidelines for at-a-glance summaries of key points Nearly 130 full-color pathologic slides Cost/benefit analysis integrated throughout Take advantage of this comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment that is so critical in today's health care environment. Whether you are a surgeon, oncologist, pediatrician or ancillary specialist, you will find a wealth of broad-based information that enhances patient care and leads to improved outcomes. Stay informed and up-to-date.

SC - 975 | Studying Mathematics and its Applications (Palgrave Study Skills)

As students of mathematics or its applications progress, courses focus increasingly on mathematical theories and applications themselves, and less on how to study these complex ideas.
Studying Mathematics and its Applications aims to bridge this gap by focusing on the essential skills needed by students, helping them to study more effectively and successfully.

The book leads the student through tasks, demonstrating how to use examples and cope with symbols and encouraging them to use these tools to apply mathematics and construct proofs. Offering practical advice on assessment and modes of study, this book is an invaluable companion to any Mathematics or Applications of Mathematics course.

SC - 1035 | Canonical Problems in Scattering and Potential Theory Part 1

Canonical Problems in Scattering and Potential Theory Part 1: Canonical Structures in Potential Theory (Monographs and Surveys in Pure and Applied Mathematics) by S.S. Vinogradov (Author), P. D. Smith (Author), E.D. Vinogradova (Author)

Although the analysis of scattering for closed bodies of simple geometric shape is well developed, structures with edges, cavities, or inclusions have seemed, until now, intractable to analytical methods.

This two-volume set describes a breakthrough in analytical techniques for accurately determining diffraction from classes of canonical scatterers with comprising edges and other complex cavity features. It is an authoritative account of mathematical developments over the last two decades that provides benchmarks against which solutions obtained by numerical methods can be verified.
The first volume, Canonical Structures in Potential Theory, develops the mathematics, solving mixed boundary potential problems for structures with cavities and edges.
The second volume, Acoustic and Electromagnetic Diffraction by Canonical Structures, examines the diffraction of acoustic and electromagnetic waves from several classes of open structures with edges or cavities.
Together these volumes present an authoritative and unified treatment of potential theory and diffraction-the first complete description quantifying the scattering mechanisms in complex structures.

SC - 1109 | Understanding Analysis (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics) by Stephen Abbott

Understanding Analysis (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics) by Stephen Abbott

This elementary presentation exposes readers to both the process of rigor and the rewards inherent in taking an axiomatic approach to the study of functions of a real variable. The aim is to challenge and improve mathematical intuition rather than to verify it. The philosophy of this book is to focus attention on questions which give analysis its inherent fascination. Each chapter begins with the discussion of some motivating examples and concludes with a series of questions.
