Leading within Digital Worlds
Leading within Digital Worlds explores the challenges for data scientists in leading technical R&D groups, both private sector companies and in public R&D, and also for non-specialists in leading roles in data science groups.
Mathematical Underpinnings of Analytics
A cutting edge graduate level book on the way the mathematical analytics of big data can add value and bring competitive advantage to consumer-facing industries.
Computing and Combinatorics
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Computing and Combinatorics, COCOON 2013, held in Hangzhou, China, in June 2013. The 56 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 120 submissions. There was a co-organized workshop on discrete algorithms of which 8 short papers were accepted and a workshop on computational social networks where 12 papers out of 25 submissions were accepted.
Introduction to Planetary Geomorphology
Featuring hundreds of images, this textbook explores the geological evolution of planets and moons for undergraduate students in planetary science.
How to Be Creative
Do you know precisely how your creativity happens? Can you coach other people to be more creative? This book is a how-to guide focused on helping you to generate great—or even greater—ideas by showing you “how to do it” and how to teach others how to do it, too. Written specifically for those working in the mathematical sciences, this book provides a proven process for idea generation and a wide range of mathematically oriented examples. Building on the authors’ many years of experience running creativity workshops, How to Be Creative: A Practical Guide for the Mathematical Sciences gives a six-step process for generating great ideas that can be used by individuals or groups, provides examples demonstrating how these concepts have been or might be used in practice in the mathematical sciences, presents seven tried and tested briefs that can be used at creativity workshops, and offers guidance on to how to evaluate ideas wisely and how to build a team culture in which creativity flourishes. This book is for anyone in the mathematical sciences who wants to be more creative or who wishes to train others in creativity.
Simplicity, Complexity and Modelling
Several points of disagreement exist between different modelling traditions as to whether complex models are always better than simpler models, as to how to combine results from different models and how to propagate model uncertainty into forecasts. This book represents the result of collaboration between scientists from many disciplines to show how these conflicts can be resolved. Key Features: Introduces important concepts in modelling, outlining different traditions in the use of simple and complex modelling in statistics. Provides numerous case studies on complex modelling, such as climate change, flood risk and new drug development. Concentrates on varying models, including flood risk a...
At the Crossroads: Lessons and Challenges in Computational Social Science
The interest of physicists in economic and social questions is not new: for over four decades, we have witnessed the emergence of what is called nowadays “sociophysics” and “econophysics”, vigorous and challenging areas within the wider “Interdisciplinary Physics”. With tools borrowed from Statistical Physics and Complexity, this new area of study have already made important contributions, which in turn have fostered the development of novel theoretical foundations in Social Science and Economics, via mathematical approaches, agent-based modelling and numerical simulations. From these foundations, Computational Social Science has grown to incorporate as well the empirical component --aided by the recent data deluge from the Web 2.0 and 3.0--, closing in this way the experiment-theory cycle in the best tradition of Physics.
UK Success Stories in Industrial Mathematics
This publication showcases the work of UK mathematicians and statisticians by describing industrial problems that have been successfully solved, together with a summary of the financial and/or societal impact that arose from the work. The articles are grouped by sector, and include contributions to climate modelling, engineering and health. The articles are based on Impact Case Studies that were submitted to the Research Excellence Framework (REF2014), a UK government sponsored exercise that assessed the research quality within UK universities. There are many publications in the realm of ‘popular mathematics’ as well as a vast research literature that underpins this. This work is aimed a...
The Scientific and Regulatory Basis for the Geological Disposal of Radioactive Waste
The disposal of radioactive waste is a central issue in the future of nuclear power and poses considerable technical, political and social issues. This book addresses these topics in an integrated fashion using performance assessment of the disposal concept as a unifying theme. Subjects addressed include: regulatory criteria; waste types, sources and characteristics; man-made or "engineered" barriers; the selection and evaluation of geological disposal media; the use of underground research laboratories; the movement of radionuclides in the biosphere; repository performance assessment tools and approaches; addressing uncertainty and spatial variability; assessing information from natural systems; and looking at radioactive waste in relation to other wastes. The book provides an up-to-date picture of radioactive waste disposal issues and will be of interest to scientists, engineers and consultants working in the nuclear industry and the environmental field.
