Continued Fractions: From Analytic Number Theory to Constructive Approximation
This volume presents the contributions from the international conference held at the University of Missouri at Columbia, marking Professor Lange's 70th birthday and his retirement from the university. The principal purpose of the conference was to focus on continued fractions as a common interdisciplinary theme bridging gaps between a large number of fields-from pure mathematics to mathematical physics and approximation theory. Evident in this work is the widespread influence of continued fractions in a broad range of areas of mathematics and physics, including number theory, elliptic functions, Padé approximations, orthogonal polynomials, moment problems, frequency analysis, and regularity properties of evolution equations. Different areas of current research are represented. The lectures at the conference and the contributions to this volume reflect the wide range of applicability of continued fractions in mathematics and the applied sciences.
Terror in the Sky
Five years after Arrow Air flight 1285 crashed in Gander, Newfoundland, killing 248 American soldiers and crew who were returning from a lengthy peacekeeping tour in Sinai, Egypt, a new investigation is made into the crash. Was it pilot error or something else? Was the investigation bungled, or was there a cover-up? If so, why? RCMP Inspector John Korchinsky’s antiterrorist unit is assigned to head up the investigation. Plagued by nightmares about his wife and son’s deaths due to a previous terrorist attack, his efforts are further stymied by a beautiful American investigator, Terese Lloyd, who has been assigned to shadow him and to prevent any “inconvenient” information about the crash from leaking to the public. Meanwhile, the man responsible for the crash is still at large, and through his investigation, Korchinsky realizes he’s planning something big. What follows is a high-stakes game of cat and mouse as the bomber taunts Korchinsky while plotting a spectacular terrorist attack that is sure to grant him the immortality he so desires.

The Adam Smith Review: Volume 9
Adam Smith’s contribution to economics is well-recognised, but in recent years scholars have been exploring anew the multidisciplinary nature of his works. The Adam Smith Review is a rigorously refereed annual review that provides a unique forum for interdisciplinary debate on all aspects of Adam Smith’s works, his place in history, and the significance of his writings to the modern world. It is aimed at facilitating debate between scholars working across the humanities and social sciences, thus emulating the reach of the Enlightenment world which Smith helped to shape. This ninth volume brings together leading scholars from across several disciplines to consider topics as diverse as Smith’s work in the context of scholars such as Immanuel Kant, Yan Fu and David Hume, Smith as the father of modern economics, and Smith’s views on education and trade. This volume also has a particular focus on Asia, and includes a section that presents articles from leading scholars from the region.
Orthogonal Functions
"Oulines an array of recent work on the analytic theory and potential applications of continued fractions, linear functionals, orthogonal functions, moment theory, and integral transforms. Describes links between continued fractions. Pade approximation, special functions, and Gaussian quadrature."
The Complete Works of Saint Augustine (50+)
Augustine’s writings influenced the development of Western philosophy and Western Christianity, and he is viewed as one of the most important Church Fathers of the Latin Church in the Patristic Period. His many important works include The City of God, On Christian Doctrine, and Confessions. His masterpieces has spawned innumerable other books and articles since. Later philosophers and theologians have been deeply influenced by The City of God, with its impact being felt from literature and historiography. Its greatest influence has been within the Christian church itself. Classic About the Timeless City is now an undisputed classic. The sheer scope of the work is impressive. 1. The City of...
Approximation Methods in Science and Engineering
Approximation Methods in Engineering and Science covers fundamental and advanced topics in three areas: Dimensional Analysis, Continued Fractions, and Stability Analysis of the Mathieu Differential Equation. Throughout the book, a strong emphasis is given to concepts and methods used in everyday calculations. Dimensional analysis is a crucial need for every engineer and scientist to be able to do experiments on scaled models and use the results in real world applications. Knowing that most nonlinear equations have no analytic solution, the power series solution is assumed to be the first approach to derive an approximate solution. However, this book will show the advantages of continued fractions and provides a systematic method to develop better approximate solutions in continued fractions. It also shows the importance of determining stability chart of the Mathieu equation and reviews and compares several approximate methods for that. The book provides the energy-rate method to study the stability of parametric differential equations that generates much better approximate solutions.
