Presents biographical details of 391 eponyms and names in the field, along with the context and relevance of their contributions.
The Emperor of All Maladies
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and now a documentary from Ken Burns on PBS, The Emperor of All Maladies is a magnificent, profoundly humane "biography" of cancer--from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist's precision, a historian's perspective, and a biographer's passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with--and perished from--for more than five thousand years. The stor...
Derivatives in Financial Markets with Stochastic Volatility
This book, first published in 2000, addresses pricing and hedging derivative securities in uncertain and changing market volatility.
Multiscale Stochastic Volatility for Equity, Interest Rate, and Credit Derivatives
Building upon the ideas introduced in their previous book, Derivatives in Financial Markets with Stochastic Volatility, the authors study the pricing and hedging of financial derivatives under stochastic volatility in equity, interest-rate, and credit markets. They present and analyze multiscale stochastic volatility models and asymptotic approximations. These can be used in equity markets, for instance, to link the prices of path-dependent exotic instruments to market implied volatilities. The methods are also used for interest rate and credit derivatives. Other applications considered include variance-reduction techniques, portfolio optimization, forward-looking estimation of CAPM 'beta', and the Heston model and generalizations of it. 'Off-the-shelf' formulas and calibration tools are provided to ease the transition for practitioners who adopt this new method. The attention to detail and explicit presentation make this also an excellent text for a graduate course in financial and applied mathematics.

Wave Propagation in Complex Media
This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Applications WAVE PROPAGATION IN COMPLEX MEDIA is based on the proceedings of two workshops: • Wavelets, multigrid and other fast algorithms (multipole, FFT) and their use in wave propagation and • Waves in random and other complex media. Both workshops were integral parts of the 1994-1995 IMA program on "Waves and Scattering." We would like to thank Gregory Beylkin, Robert Burridge, Ingrid Daubechies, Leonid Pastur, and George Papanicolaou for their excellent work as organizers of these meetings. We also take this opportunity to thank the National Science Foun dation (NSF), the Army Research Office (ARO, and the Office of Naval Research (ONR), whos...
Cervical Cancer
An introduction to cervical cancer including what it is, how it's diagnosed, and how to treat and prevent the disease.
George Nicholas Papanicolaou
Os padrões das doenças femininas ao redor do mundo estão mudan- do em função do conhecimento avançado, mudanças nas condições de vida e níveis crescentes de cuidado médico. Este livro reflete os modelos e mudanças com uma pesquisa sobre a história de uma grande perso- nalidade médica, o Dr. George Nicholas Papanicolaou, e a evolução de seu teste, que se tornou padrão para triagem do câncer de colo de útero em todo o mundo. Trata-se aqui de um desenvolvimento histórico do tes- te de Papanicolaou desde o seu primeiro trabalho, em 1915, até avanços mais recentes em preparações técnicas de cito- logia. A ampla experiência adquirida pelos autores, com seus trabalhos em laboratórios de citologia e seus conhecimentos sobre os resultados do famoso exame de Papanicolaou, é um testemunho da alta qualidade científica e da segurança clínica de seu trabalho. O livro é enriquecido por uma documentação fotográfica maravilhosa sobre a vida do Dr. Papanicolaou, seus prêmios, publicações, laboratórios e outros.
